Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
Legolas can fight if provoked, negotiate if absolutely necessary, and open up to close friends. But ask him to interact on a friendly but distant level, and he turns into a nervous wreck. When Elrond asks him to join the Fellowship of the Ring, he is far less anxious about the enemies they will have to face than about the eight companions with whom he will be traveling.
Gimli is fully ready to reach out a hand in friendship to the elf in their group – until he perceives that Legolas is not ready to return the favor. He spends the early days of their Quest seething with resentment.
Their stay in Lothlorien opens the door to new understanding between them, leading to a friendship – or more – that will be sung of for ages.

Summary
A collection of fics that take place in a modern Minas Tirith. Gimli is an architecture professor at Minas Tirith University, Legolas is an influencer-slash-instagram-model-slash-what-do-you-even-do. We follow them and their friends through the ups and downs of daily life in a city where elves and dwarves, hobbits and men are all just trying to get along.
The bulk of this AU exists as fanart - Find me on tumblr and twitter, and sometimes Roselightfairy is kind enough to indulge me by coming over to play in my sandbox. :) You can find her on Ao3 and on tumblr as well. The super fun worldbuilding is more than half her doing, so go check out her stupendous work and give her some love!
Finally, this series is ongoing and is reordered with each addition accordingly - so the narrative is linear, but isn't necessarily updated linearly. Check back to see updates as we slot them into place!
