"I desired..." Legolas said, and he raised his head to meet the eyes of the Man, something fierce and defiant and desperate in his gaze. "I desired to tell him that my tale is now thirty-one."

[sansûkh, chapter 25]

SANSÛKH FANART IN THE GRAND 2026?? HELL YES!! I just finished my semi-annual reread and it reawakened my middle earth hyperfixation ferociously!! this story is simply perfection and it has fully merged with canon to me.

[Podfic Link] | Length: 66 hours, 20 minutes, 22 seconds

Original Work: Sansûkh by determamfidd

Rating: Teen and up audiences

Summary: 

The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors. The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair. (Follows the story of the War of the Ring). (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Tragically my bookshelf has run out of space. Here are all five of fishfingersandscarves’s Lulu fan-printing of determamfidd’s Sansûkh, plus the reading companion! Free to a good home. You will pay for shipping and that’s all.

Please message me if you are interested, and we can correspond further through email or dreamwidth.

I’m so happy I’ve finally received @runawaymarbles commissioned ficprint of @determamfidd incredible lotr story, Sansûkh, in its entirety!! This is all 50 chapters divided into 3 books, as well as some extras like the Meet a Dwarrowdam series.

These books are stunning, professional and hefty, I couldn’t be happier to with their look and feel. Time to reread Sansûkh!

@runawaymarbles was a dear that delightfully created the look of these, inside and out. We nerded out over khuzdul and tengwar, and didn’t flinch when I asked to add the epilogue to book 3, even though it made The Forging of Hope like 25% longer and thicker then planned (see how long the epilogue is below)

Edit: @runawaymarbles has put these up on a drive so that you can print your own copies through lulu.express. These versions are made for the linen wrap hardcover! Enjoy Sansûkh fandom this is for you. 😘

Edit: I’ve made a walkthrough video to explain how to order from lulu

✏️ What is your fave fic from another writer?

My favorite? I have a lot of fics I love, many of which I've already talked about in one post or another, so let's see if I can come up with a recent fave I haven't talked much about...

I guess I'd have to go with Talking In Her Sleep and its sequel, When In Rome (by @determamfidd), which have both been living in my brain rent-free since I first read them several months back.

They're Hiccstrid-centric post-canon How to Train Your Dragon fics that were posted back in early 2011, before any of the shows or sequel films came out, so the only canon they use is the first film (along with some of the early bonus material). (Which means, among other things, that all of the dragons (besides Toothless) have different names.) The writer also borrows a few small bits of worldbuilding from the original Cressida Cowell novels, particularly in When In Rome.

They're very, very good, and I cannot recommend them highly enough: the plots are believable and exciting, the characterization is excellent, and the writing and imagery is superb. (I also suspect that the writer may have been whacked in the head a few times with the Dodgeball of Prophecy-- I don't want to spoil too much, but there are several plot points that eerily line up and/or parallel with some of the stuff that actually did happen in the later movies.)
