    Summary

    Verso is rinsing out his spare shirt in the river when he hears crunching footfalls on moss. He continues his idle work, which really was little more than an excuse to let the rattled Expeditioners stew over their situation in peace. The steps pause somewhere behind him.

    “Sneaking off already?”

    A man’s voice—it has to be Gustave, Maelle’s guardian. Strange to think it’s the first time he hears it.

    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    Verso's smile widened, and Gustave knew with crystal clarity that the universe had a sick sense of humor. His Friday night blues had just become his Monday morning colleague.

    "We've met," Verso said easily, still watching Gustave with those piercing eyes. "Haven't we, Gustave?"

    The claim of his full name landed in Gustave’s gut like a stone, heavy and cold, followed by the slow bloom of heat at his throat where the kisses still ached.

     He was so, so fucked.

    Or: they say when you love a character so much you'd inevitably write them taking it up the ass
