“Not all men”

You’re right Samwise Gamgee would NEVER

Warnings: none

Summary: you fall into middle earth not so graceful and you meet the company

‘Welp I screwed up’ you thought as you walked out of the door and into the warm air. You just spent a weekend at one of your closest friends house and were now walking home. Yep. WALKING. You forgot that your car is absolutely totaled at the moment, so now you were walking 5 miles. yay. And to top it you had a very heavy backpack full of all the things you would need at a sleepover. Plus, your trusty knife that you took when you were walking alone.

Now the way you really screwed up is you forgot that your mom asked you if you could help her with this party she was throwing for your uncle and now you were an hour late and it would take you at least two more to get there. So she’s gonna be real mad when you show up and the party is basically over. You were so deep in thought that you barley noticed the wind picking up. Some leaves started to fall from the trees that were just not strong enough to hold on. “Huh,” you say to yourself “it wasn’t suppose to be windy at all today. But then again the weather people are never right.” You laugh a little to yourself and continue to walk. Then out of nowhere you started to feel a bit dizzy. You fall a little to the side and try to balance yourself but it does little to help. The ground starts to feel as if it’s caving in on itself. At this point your heart is racing and you are just trying to not face plant. “What the h- AHHHH“ you get cut off from you suddenly falling. Now you were really confused but you pushed the confusion out of the way because you were FALLING FROM THE SKY??? ‘When did I get so high?’ You thought in your head and scream at the top of your lungs. You say a quick prayer thinking it’s the end. You brace yourself as the ground comes closer and closer. But instead of smashing into the ground you are caught in two very strong arms.

You open your eyes and meet face to face with a very confused looking man. “Oh my- I’m so-what- I don’t-“ you try to speak but after all that your words just aren’t working for you right now. “That was quite the fall lassie” said the man. He looked to be probably the toughest person you have ever seen. Like wow this dude could chuck you across a football field. “Oh uh yeah- I um I yeah” you sputter out. Man your tounge just has a mind of its own at the moment. “How did you get up that high” asked another man, who had a very funky hat and a mustache, as your catcher put you on the ground. You took a sec to steady yourself and looked up to see that there were thirteen very strong looking men and a short one with very big hairy feet that stood out greatly. “I-I honestly don’t know one moment I’m walking home and- and the next I’m very dizzy and I’m fa-falling from the sky” you realize how crazy you sound but it looks like these men don’t really question you. You take another moment to study them and you can see that they are all dress extremely weird. They look like those mountain people you saw in some movie a long time ago. The next time you noticed is that they all have lots and lots of weapons. Then you notice you are now in the middle of the woods. But you know for a fact that your friend lives in a neighborhood and close to a town.

“I’m sorry but could you please tell me where I am?” You ask the man who caught you. He gave out a grunt and said “yer about a mile away from the town of Bree” okay what? Bree? You were pretty sure there was no town called Bree. “Bree? Where is that?” You question again. “You know you are asking a lot of questions for someone who hasn’t even told us your name” asked a very serious kingly man with very long black hair. oh shoot. He was right you absolutely forgot to tell them your name. “Oh right. Sorry. My name is (y/f/n) um (y/f/n) (y/l/n)” you say with a small wave. They all looked a bit puzzled. “Well that’s a strange name” said a man with a stubble and a bow across his chest. The blonde haired man with a braided mustache elbowed his side and said “Oh Kili! That’s rude! You don’t just tell people they have wierd names!” The man known as Kili gave a slight blush and mumbled a sorry. “It’s alright. I don’t mind” you giggle out, finding the interaction funny. Both of them smile and give a slight bow. “Fili and Kili at your service” they stated as they rose back up. Both of them sported a goofy grin, making you smile even more(even though you were very confused as to why they bowed to you and why they said they were at your service) “um thank you..” you say more as a question.

The two give a smile and then the man who caught you walked up with another man with a long white beard. “Dwalin,” said the man who caught you. “....and Balin” said the other. “At your service” you stood there (still very confused) and then said “and I to you.” Then short man with weird feet came up and said his name was Bilbo Baggin and one by one the rest of the group has introduced themselves to you. You found all their names were Fili, Kili, Thorin, Bilbo, Balin, Dwalin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Oin, Gloin, Ori, Nori, and Dori. (You struggled a bit at remembering their names). After all the introductions were done a very much taller man with long grey robes and a staff rode over on a horse. “I have gathered all I need to the rest of the journey we can continue on now.” He said riding up and then he spotted you. “Who is this?” He asked and gave you a warm smile. You open your mouth to speak but then Thorin inturups, “She claims to be lost and her name is (y/full/n).” You look back and forth between the two and a moment later Gandalf smiles back down at you and asks “lost? Well where is it that you need to be?” You are fiddling with your hand as you are now starting to freak out a little bit. “Well I- well um I need to be in (your town name) but apparently I’m in be-Bree?” Gandalf gave you a confused look as did the rest of the men. “Well I’m sorry my dear but I don’t think that (your town name) is a place”

You shake your head slightly. “No-no I’m pretty sure it is because I live there” you then tell how you have to help your mother and how you are late enough as it is. Then out of nowhere the wind picks up again. “Oh no not again” you cry out. The company looks even more confused now. “What are you talking about?” Asks Bofur. “I-“ you try to get out but once again you start to sway and feel dizzy again. “I don’t know what’s happening” you get out before falling on the grounds
