she kicked me in the face

A Fan: Wow, can’t wait to see the heroes’ children living in a world that has been made better by the original heroes, having a loving and respectful relationship with the hero I loved and respected as a child, and dealing with their own adventure that might not be as high stake as saving the world, but is important for their own personal journey. 

the hobbit was a lower-stakes story about bilbo helping some dwarves reclaim their ancestral home, and in lotr (the book at least) tolkien goes out of his way to talk about how bilbo lived for a long time rich and famous and happy, and that erebor and dale are prosperous and successful. the threat is something that bilbo brought home with him, but if bilbo hadn’t found it, it would have fallen into worse hands. 

As a result, with all my utility bills, medical and vet expenses, groceries, my building’s association dues, and my insurance premium, I am currently in the red. Some help would be greatly appreciated and, as such, starting today until a month-ish from now (February 26), I will match all the funds that come in via Ko-fi with the word count for a Ben POV sequel/companion fic to The Heartbreak Prince, which I will start posting in August. Since Ko-fi tips are in USD, I will correspond the word count to the converted total in my local currency (as of this writing it’s 1 USD = 48 PHP).

wow it’s been a long time, but I’m updating again and hoping I can be more consistent until this fic is done!

summary:  Socially awkward and lonely classics professor Ben Solo is having a terrible day when a chance meeting with sexy firefighter Rey Niima threatens to further upend his life. Maybe heating things up a little is just what he needs.
