    Summary

    Where you go, there will I follow.

     

    Gimli is not good at waiting. He will throw himself into danger a thousand times or more without fear in his heart - but to watch, and to wait? Helpless, formless, voiceless and utterly useless?

    No, Gimli is not good at waiting.

    Thankfully, he has a guide. A mentor who has learned these lessons the hard way. Gimli will not spend eighty years in the learning of them.

    But perhaps he might learn a few others.

    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

    At the party after Aragorn and Arwen's wedding, a new couple meets a very old couple.

    Erestor and Glorfindel think these kids are adorable and proceed to start namedropping famous dwarves they've met, reminiscing about the Actually Fairly Terrible Old Days, and attempting to teach Gimli the difference between the various kindreds of the Firstborn without causing a diplomatic incident.

    Later, Legolas drops a few eaves and hears Nice things.

    That's it, that's the fic.

    Summary

    Life after war has much more politics than Gimli thought, and much less Legolas than he would like, but the latter he knows (or believes) he has to get used to. Or: Legolas leaps, occasionally stumbling, into a new age, while Gimli can't see the wood for the (green)leaf.

    "How do your people court then?"

    The question was not as abrupt as it would seem, firstly because the news that his brother was courting had clearly left Legolas in deep thought for a number of days, secondly because Legolas had long ago confessed his curiosity about the lives and customs of Gimli's kin, and thirdly because Legolas' grace was well-known to be in his light feet and not his manners.

    However, Gimli saw no reason to let him have his own way entirely. "And by my people do you mean the Longbeards, or the Dwarves of Erebor, or the wandering mender that I now seem to be?"

    "I meant," Legolas said, "wandering jesters."

    Summary

    While the heroes are off adventuring in church, to the citizens of Castle Town, it is just another day. Left behind, they make their own fun.

    For Seam, it is business as usual. Until an unexpected visitor arrives, bringing chaos into the Seap as its very own part-time menace. Throughout the day they serve many odd customers, discuss their thoughts on the world, and drink copious amounts of tea.
