OKAY TOA/LOTR AU TIME (in no particular order) (combines a lot of toa) (A trollhunters exclusive one would be a little different) (under the cut because this got longer than I meant it to be oops)
The One Ring is now the Genesis Seals
Merlin and Douxie make the Amulet of Daylight as a response
Deya helps win the first war against the Order
Because the Order is definitely Sauron
Anyway the amulet making is why Merlin appoints Douxie to be on the Istari with him
The NazgΓ»l are the Shadow Mephits led by Green Knight!Arthur
The elves become the Krubera
The dwarves become the Dwoza trolls
The volcanic trolls, the quagawumps, the garden trolls, the mountain trolls, the jungle trolls, and the deep-sea trolls are all also present, but live in their respective areas
The hobbits become the changelings (a settlement of people who don't trust outsiders, and are just keen on spending their days being passive aggressive and drinking tea? This is Changeling Activity)
You'd think Gandalf would be Merlin but NO!!!! Douxie is Gandalf!!!
Claire travels with Douxie
Merlin and Nimue are off in other parts of Middle Earth (think the two blue wizards) (though they will show up in the final battle, unlike those blue wizards)
Argh is Legolas (yes I mean that)
Because both couples are married
"I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Krubera." "What about friend?" "...I could do that."
Argh, Blinky, Jim, Toby, Strickler, Nomura, Angor, Douxie, Claire, and Gnasha (trust me)
This does make the Fellowship two people bigger than the original one but oh well
Gunmar is Denethor II and Bular is Faramir
AND GNASHA IS BOROMIR (only this time Gnasha gets to live bc of this!)
Also I did just make Nomura and Strickler Merry and Pippin? Mayhaps
Who rides into battle with Nomura, who was denied to fight like Merry, except in this case, it's because she's a changeling, rather than being seen as too weak
Strickler is the one who stays with Gunmar and tries to help him through the death of Gnasha
Strickler is the one who notices Gnasha isn't dead
Gnasha and Bular fighting side by side in the final battle is πππ to me
Jim is given the Amulet by Douxie, to protect him, after Jim volunteers to destroy the Seals
Much of the plot remains similar
This does mean Barbara gets to kill Arthur and honestly? Please let her
Claire goes with Jim and Toby when they break off from the rest of the Fellowship
Toby and Claire both help Jim make it up the mountain
Douxie does "die" fighting the Balrog Draknagoth
But comes back stronger, though he remains Hisirdoux the Blue
He and Merlin fight Morgana together in Isengard
If I think of more stuff I'll add it
Please ask me questions about this if you notice something I missed, or if you wanna know more, omg I'm thoroughly enjoying these ideas
