imagine it's kili

kili watching fili running up towards danger and being killed by azog knowing that it should could have been him, but not even being able to follow his brother the way he always had

constantly having doubts about if the right brother survived or not

kili having all of the duties and responsibilities that were always promised to fili suddenly thrust upon him, barely any time to mourn his brother before dwarves show up to rebuilt erebor back up even as he stands in its halls

watching thorin's slow, painful recovery and wondering if his uncle's survival means another spiral down into gold madness

dis returning to erebor and clutching her son to her and sobbing and kili feeling the loss just as much as she is, wondering if giving tauriel the runestone had been some kind of ill omen

and tauriel!

she still has kili but she's an elf, she's not meant to live under a mountain where there are no stars, but there's no way kili can just leave with her and go

tauriel watching kili succumb to a different kind of sickness, a sickness of the heart, not knowing how to heal it as swiftly as she healed the arrow wound

You are the Spock to my Jim. The Gottlieb to my Newt. The second breakfast to my Pippin.

I'm so, so glad that last May you imed me about jokingly look up trek fic because seriously, that stupid night changed everything. I'm so blessed to have you in my life and I'm happy that I made the decision to never let you go. You're one of my best friends, like I tell you probably once a week, but I'm gonna keep saying it. I'm looking forward to maybe Leaky this summer and definitely Maudgate and 100% our Lord of the Wizarding World of the Starship Enterprise wedding.

so here we go:

And if Jim gets 10 gold stars next to his name, he'll get some kind of reward for not being horrible. Except it never happens, because Jim has no concept of personal space and Bones comes back to the room to find Jim's disgustingly wet towels on his bed almost every day and sometimes Bones can't find any of his books after Jim borrowed them without asking because Jim put them in the fridge when he gets frustrated. So Jim's just in a constant state of negative stars.

Like, there's literally a piece of paper next to the Jim Star Chart covered in markings. And they're not even stars. Bones went out and bought little dots to stick on there.
