If you say so

And yet, Thorin wanted to try.

Notes:

Tolkientober 2026, prompt #16: CREEPY.
Fictober 2026, prompt #16: Why are we here?.

Set in the same universe as my other fic Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire. Sort of a prequel to that, if you want.

I’m not a writer, English is not my first language and the fic is also unbetaed, so... Sorry! :D

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Thorin tries

Chapter Text

Thorin was aware that his relationship with Thranduil could never be a normal one. They were like opposites, always arguing, disagreeing about everything… but that actually was the fun part. The problem were their families and their position: the leaders of two groups of people that had hated each other for centuries.

And yet, Thorin wanted to try.

Among other things, he really wanted to show Erebor to Thranduil. It wasn’t just that he wanted to show his boyfriend how rich and impressive Erebor was, more importantly he wanted to share with him a very significant part of his life.
