Dreams of Erebor

Thorin Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain

But deep down, you know that's probably not the case. You start noticing little hints that make you suspect the author is eventually going to pair them together. Even so, you keep reading, hoping you're wrong. Then the moment finally comes when the relationship is confirmed, and the whole story is ruined for you. You can't stop thinking about that part, and it ends up overshadowing everything else that was great about the fic. In the end, you just drop it and delete it because the idea of Kíli and Fíli as a romantic couple makes you uncomfortable. To you, they're brothers, and you simply can't see them any other way.

The worst part is that this has happened to me far too many times. So many fanfics with incredible, genuinely interesting plots end up being ruined because the authors don't tag from the beginning that Kíli and Fíli will have a romantic relationship. If that information were included in the tags, I could simply avoid reading those fics in the first place and spare myself the disappointment of getting invested in a story I was genuinely enjoying. Has this ever happened to you? And could someone please recommend a story where this doesn't happen, where they're just brothers and the pairing is Bilbo/Thorin?

I draw more landscapes with dwarves… or dwarves with landscapes

Like I don't judge people who like/read it, it's your cup of tea, just not mine.

Anyways I always feel my heart break a little when it's revealed. Like, THIS IS THORIN AND NEPHEWS. DO. NOT. SEPARATE.

Also we need more uncle bilbo fanfics/kíli and fíli adopting bilbo as their uncle. More fics with company shenanigans too.

same for me
