  1. Summary

    The upsetting and cross-generational tragedy of a spacefaring royal family is all well and good when you aren’t the inheritor of your entire family’s successes and failures.

    Starstruck is a study in relationships on a galactic scale to explore how trauma doesn’t automatically make terrible choices the right ones. An ongoing exploration of how politics, relationships, and cross-generational trauma all fit together to create a cohesive mess, and then seeing how the people left behind pick up the pieces and carry on.

    It all starts in the halcyon days of Prince Velahnhiris Vaevyr.

  2. Summary

    Bayverse. A series following Sunstreaker's sudden band of misfits on their coincidental jaunt towards Earth as he juggles actually being responsible with the urge to be literally anything but, and the desire to find Sideswipe.
    No one ever said being responsible was this hard. Sunstreaker wanted his damned credits back.

    Summary

    Inspired by the Hobbit Kinkmeme prompt: "Plural marriages are a normal thing for Dwarves. An already established couple find themselves enamored with another member of the Company and set about courting them. Any pairings welcome except incest."

    Bofur's always known that Nori has the best bad ideas. This is just the best bad idea of the lot.

    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.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You knew, then.”

    Kíli made a rude noise, deep in his throat. “Of course I know. Knew. That.”

    Thráin sighed, and dumped Custard onto Kíli’s lap. The large orange-and-white cat gave a questioning meow, before discovering that the leather of Kíli’s coat was particularly nice to rub her cheek upon.

    Kíli’s hands circled about her, almost by reflex, and he looked up at his grandfather and great-grandmother with confusion in his eyes. “It’s been eighty years,” he said, his voice rather tight.

    “Aye, it has,” Thráin said, and sat down beside Kíli. Hrera was uncharacteristically quiet as she sat on his other side (though her fingers did begin to run through his perpetually scruffy hair). “Eighty years, and you never said a word. Most of us gave no more thought to it, because you seemed… well, content. Content enough. And you never brought it up, beyond those first years.”

    Kíli’s eyes darted nervously from side to side, before he schooled them into submission by fixing them upon Custard’s bushy tail. “Well, it didn’t seem the time. Not with everything else – Thorin and Fee were so – well, you saw, they were wounded. Fee was angry and swallowing it every day, and Thorin was exploding extremely slowly… and then Bifur was here, and Nori – and then there was the war, and Frerin needed us to take over from him when he couldn’t – and so…”

    Hrera’s eyebrows were raised meaningfully at her son. Thráin nodded and waved a hand in response. “There’s a lot you do that nobody sees, isn’t there?” he said. “A lot you hide behind your carefree sunny smiles, my lad. Does Fíli know?”

    Kíli’s gaze dropped once more. “Most of it. Not all.”

    Summary

    Kili blinked at him. “I am a prince, you know.”

    There was a real smile on the elf’s—Legolas’s—face. A real smile, one not imagined by Kili in the dim light. “I know.” Was all Legolas responded with.

    Legolas started to walk off. Kili grabbed the bars and pressed his face against the cold iron. “My name is Kili.” But Legolas did nothing to acknowledge Kili’s words and kept walking.

    Or

    Kili is visited by Legolas while locked in the dungeons of Mirkwood.

    Summary

    Post "I will shelter" but pre "leave me your fears".

    Legolas, Kili, Tauriel and Gimli are cleaning Mirkwood of the darkness, one spider at a time. With Tauriel and Gimli distracted, Legolas and Kili finally get a moment to slip away from their self-titled chaperones.

    But the forest is dark, and what was once a sanctuary is now empty of life. The light is gone, and joy with it.

    Perhaps Kili's inner light will shine, even in such despair. And perhaps Legolas will have a chance to ask for that light forever.

    (Yes, this is their wedding.)
