    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.

    Summary

    “So...you’re from the future. In the past. Why?”
    “You want the short answer or the long one?”
    “Short,” Martin says after a moment’s deliberation. “Until I decide if I trust you.”
    The other nods, as if he expected that answer—which, well, if he really
    is Martin from the future, he probably did. “To stop the world from ending.”

    They have one last chance to fix this - one last chance to prevent the Eyepocalypse, to save the world - to save their world. It all hinges on which is the greater force: greed...or love.

    Summary

    “Jon, this is why I'm here. I'm s’posed to protect you. Your work is too important.”

    “Not at the cost of your own life.” The reply is curt, nearly as sharp as the blade that cut into the meat of him hours before. “Not…not when it's my fault. I lost my temper, and I got caught. Should have just let her hit me.”

    “It wasn’t your fault. You're just trying to live. It's not your fault you gotta hide like this.” Martin straightens his posture, lifting his arm with a tired grunt to grant Jon further access. “And, I'm sorry, but that actually is the deal. This is what I signed up for when I became a knight. It's what Lord Rayner and Sir Dekker have asked of me. Protecting you is my duty, and if I die in service of that, then I die. It's part of my oath.”

    With the wrapping secured, the room goes deathly still. Martin searches for more words of comfort, more ways to explain that this is what he's expected to do. What he's trained for. All he's ever been good for.
