Tag: Fic rec

I looked through all your fic recs, but didn’t see much about Dwalin in general, so what are your fave Dwalin fics (any pairing or none) and PLEASE for the love of god do you know of any bottom Dwalin fics? I’ve read like, the only three i could find.

baggvinshield:

BLESS YOU ANON DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE DWALIN (i didn’t really intend it but tbh this is almost all smut, hope that’s okay)

shipsicle:

‘Tell me.’ Thorin nudged Bilbo with his elbow, his long hair falling
in a dark curtain as he dipped his head to meet Bilbo’s gaze. ‘Tell me
what’s put that look on your face.’

‘What look?’ he murmured,
pulling the furs up to his chin and noticing that they slipped off
Thorin’s bare feet. It was not the first time he’d seen those naked
toes, but they still amused him: the only part of a dwarf that could
ever be considered dainty, at least by Hobbit standards.

A feather
of heat whispered over his skin as Thorin traced the line of Bilbo’s
eyebrow, his touch little more than a tease. A moment later, that hand
cupped his chin, his thumb dragging across Bilbo’s lip.

‘That look. Somewhere between a grimace and a scowl.’

for @emsiecat  who won first prize in my give-away (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

She wanted me to draw a scene from the end of ch17 of The Riven Crown by The_Kingmaker(@the-pen-pot). Awesome fic, read it!

Alone This Yuletide


🎄🎁

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎁🎄

And here it is. The very last chapter to my very first multi-chapter
fanfic, and just in time for Christmas too! I am quite proud right now
:3

I just want to say a huge, huge thank you to every single
person who read, left kudos, and commented on my fic. You are all so
lovely, and it was amazing to see all the likes and reblogs this got on
tumblr too!

To @rutobuka2 I just want to say thank you SO much for taking my commissions for artwork for this fic, it really made all the difference.

As always, @avelera this fic is for you :3 and a MASSIVE thank you to @mcmanatea for being my beta reader
❤

you’re awesome!

I hope you all enjoy the epilogue and that it ties up any loose ends
for you. May The Hobbit (and Bagginshield) fandom live on for years to
come, and I hope to write for you all again, really soon
❤

P.S.
I MIGHT tweak this here and there (mostly grammatically in the first chapters) and maybe add
more artwork at some point, I’ll keep you posted on tumblr if so.

‘Alone this Yuletide? Irritated with prying and nosey family members?

I
am an out of work blacksmith currently trying to make my way by any
means necessary that does not involve my resorting to thievery (prisons
are most uncomfortable, I’ve unfortunate first hand experience).
However, if you would like me to be your strictly platonic companion for
any social function, but have me pretend that we are in a serious
courtship, so as to torment your family and ward off unwanted suitors
then I am more than obliging…’

After becoming increasingly
irritated by overtures of romance from various Shire residents following
the death of his mother four years ago, Bilbo is more than ready to
resort to desperate measures. That is, up to and including pretending to
be in a serious relationship with a certain surly blacksmith currently
inhabiting the Bindbale Woods.

It’s a good idea after all; all
they have to do is pretend to be in love over the Yuletide period and
Bilbo’s family and suitors will surely leave him alone after that. It’s
perfect! And nothing can possibly go wrong, right? Certainly nothing as preposterous as falling for one another for real…

Epilogue is now up (x)

I wanted to take a second to rec this fic by @irinokat, the first lengthy one I read after getting bitten by The Guzma Bug ™ (pun totally intended). It’s a really fascinating, well-written fic that doesn’t shy away from his anger issues or sweep them under the rug. It presents a powerful, nuanced exploration of the character, and a romance that had me more than once clutching my chest from feels or hugging myself as I giggled with delight. It may be the best Guzma romance fic out there, though I admit I have not read exhaustively, it is by far my favorite, as is this writer’s take on him in general (even including the game).

One thing I found fascinating after delving briefly into Pokemon fic was the second-person tense used by writers so prevalently. I admit I had seen it around on Tumblr, especially for het romances. In a way, it seems to have replaced the typical Mary Sue or self-insert. At least for video games, I admit the second person makes a lot of sense and actually overcomes an issue I had with reading video game based fic where the main character is customizable, such as Mass Effect or Dragon Age. 

But second person is really hard to write. Most of the time the mere mention of it, with very few exceptions, is enough to make me quit right out of a story. The fact that this is becoming a popular method of writing romance is really fascinating to me on its own. The prevalence of (Popular Character)/Reader stories was one I rolled my eyes at initially, I just didn’t think it was possible that it could be good. @irinokat showed me that I was wrong in my assumption. It is still undoubtedly a difficult method of writing, it can be confusing, disorienting, and shallow at times. But it is also possible for amazing stories like “Healing” to be written. There was complexity in the POV I have rarely seen. Though we didn’t delve much into the POV protagonist’s past, I still felt like I knew her intimately. The second person allowed me to continue to see my own player character and myself in the narrative, but also to feel the differences with little hints of the character’s own unique story t. I also felt intimately close to the author, as if we were one person, and there was incredibly sympathy and empathy conveyed through that atypical writing style that was totally unique. 

I’m now keeping an eye out on this Character/Reader trend, rather than simply dismissing it. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we see it become hugely popular in the world of printed romance novels within the next decade (if it isn’t already and I’m just ignorant of the trend). It is absolutely fascinating to me how this trend amongst young women (largely, but not exclusively of course) writing romance fic for themselves and one another has evolved and could actually becoming something with real literary merit and quality, something I think this author of this fic demonstrated. @irinokat is extremely skilled and I look forward to reading more of her work. I also highly recommend this fic to anyone who enjoys the Pokemon franchise and would like to see serious, well-written, mature fic for those games.

Hey! I’m recent to the fandom and wanted to know if there’s a MUST READ list anywhere or any really good gems that are unmissable. I’ve already went thought cavaleira’s (almost) whole AO3 account and am still recovering from ‘Take the Long Way Home’ (like, how soon is too soon for a re-read?). Also, awesome blog :)

thorvaenn:

Hi!

So I bring you a mix of genres and there’s both canon and AU fics, basically what I feel really captures the experience of this fandom as I know it. Take the Long Way Home would be very high on that list so you’re already covered there, just linking for other readers. 

Note: 1) Unless I absolutely couldn’t help it, it’s one fic per author but on this list there are MANY very prolific, very talented authors. Please check out their other works too. 2) Some of these are current or even abandoned WIPs. Some stuff is just too good even without an ending.

First you have the list of just titles and authors, then under the cut the same list but with summaries included because this is just so long.

To Turn Aside, To Turn Away – Margo_Kim – Dragon Age: Inquisition [Archive of Our Own]

andhumanslovedstories:

“So he was not ashamed of his preference in lovers. He was not. He had known his preference since his early teens, perhaps earlier, and he had acted upon it to the satisfaction of himself and his partners, and he was not ashamed. Tevinter was ashamed. His parents were ashamed. Dorian was not ashamed. Not about this.”

Or: Dorian has always known who he is and what he wants. Knowing has never made it easier. Also, he doesn’t really know.

Or: whoop I wanted to write a drabble about Dorian and Bull and instead wrote nearly 10k just like. being gay. it’s hard sometimes.

rutobuka2:

Kodokusan lies far from the capital, and many say its forests and mountains are haunted. Thorin doesn’t think so, even if the raccoon he rescued in the forest on his way home appears rather clever. And maybe this rather useful and popular addition to his household would raise more questions, but there is another threat to Kodokusan.

One that leaves webs in the forest.
