Fan Rec Friday: Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit Fic

Lord of the Rings is one of my forever fandoms and Gimli/Legolas is one of my OTPs. The Hobbit on the other hand I didn't really care for but there is some great fic.

From One Age to Another by determamfidd - Lord of the Rings, Gimli/Legolas
Legolas and Gimli each go home after the end of the war and end up explaining their relationship to their fathers. Lovely.

Degrees of Separation by blossomwitch - Lord of the Rings, Gimli/Legolas
Outsider POV of Gimli/Legolas. The dwarves are confused about why Gimli is so irritable after the war. Then he and Legolas are reunited and everything is cleared up.

Small Kindness by Elsajeni - The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, Gen
A poignant and perfect bridge between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. I'm very sad that Legolas and Fili and Kili didn't get time to be friends. I live for the coda.

Something Blue by Lapin - The Hobbit, Bilbo/Thorin
Bilbo and Thorin have what they both think is a marriage of convenience. A lot of miscommunication and mutual pining.

An Eye for Quality by Linelenagain - The Hobbit, Bilbo/Thorin
A re-working of the movies with Bilbo as Bella and everything about it is amazing. Bella's relationship with Fili and Kili is my favorite thing and the cultural worldbuilding for the dwarves is fantastic. And the courtship. Thorin is such a failboat. It's fabulous.


Also counting this for the Sunshine Challenge since it serendipitously aligns.
