Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
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.

A silly sounding idea that is brilliantly executed. Perfectly demonstrates how incredible fan fiction can be.

To future me: You will cry. You did the first time.
Flawed people, trying to do their best by each other. Bittersweet but beautiful.

Bookmarker's Notes
A solid blend of the fairy tale genre with the Magnus Archive’s brand of horror. I’ve paid for published novels that were not as good as this fic.
