Garo Estel (Have Hope) Chapter 32

Pairings: Boromir/Elf OC, Aragorn/Arwen, Faramir/Eowyn, Eomer/Lothiriel

Rating: Mature

CW: First time, child abandonment, child neglect, PTSD, battle scenes, siege of Gondor, pyre of Denethor (with a twist!), Battle of the Morannon, pregnancy, childbirth

Summary: Boromir is in Rivendell by order of his father, and he is not exactly thrilled to be there. His first night in Rivendell, one of the Elves returns an important possession that he unknowingly lost. Despite Elrond’s warning to stay away from her, Boromir finds that he cannot abide by his host’s wishes. Instead, he endeavors to discover what makes the Elf-maid so threatening, and along the way, something that he believed to be locked inside his heart awakens.

Just as something that Boromir thought he would never have—or want—begins to take form, the Fellowship departs for Mordor. The journey South tests the Fellowship’s resolve and forces them to struggle with the burdens of pain, suffering and loss, and Boromir is pulled in two directions. The moment comes where he must choose between carrying out his father’s orders and bringing the One Ring back to Minas Tirith—no matter the cost—or helping to destroy the last hope his people have so that he can be with the one he loves.

Hello,

I am popping into the inboxes of all my writer friends to let them know that they're awesome and talented! Sometimes the stories we work so hard to make don't get the attention and interaction we hope for, but just know that your labor of love has had a great impact on somebody--either someone you talk to regularly or someone who hasn't quite built up the courage to reach out yet.

🪄✨

I'll wave my magic wand here and I hope that it gives you what you need right now: a solution to a plot hole you're struggling with, a creative boost to help you over a block, a bit of encouragement when you're feeling down, or some much needed rest to help you recharge your batteries.

Thank you for being a friend and for sharing your wonderful stories and characters with us!

If you'd like, feel free to send this or a similar (and better worded) message to your writer friends and let them know you appreciate them!

Luc

I don't what else to say other than Thank You for this lovely bit of Ask Box Kindness! But I hope this gives you a smile (and maybe a little bit of inspo) in return:

My photo editing/graphics skills have failed to keep up with the changing times and tech (gah, I'm old!), but I personally enjoy seeing my OC fancasts with their canon partners, so I hope this does that for you too! :)

Here is @lucifers-legions's beautiful Boromir x OC long fic, for those who want to check it out!

lucifers-legions

Thank you for tagging me @annab99awritersdream !!!! Ugh, I really need to finish Garo Estel so I can get to girl-dad Boromir 😩 Nobody asked but I just love talking about Boromir as a (girl) dad and thought I'd share things from my AU.

It's a good thing I decided to give Boromir and Anael two daughters because I don't think Boromir would have been very good at sharing. Not that he would have kept Fin from Anael, but she's definitely his kid whereas Aerdis is her mother's mini-me. Can confirm that Boromir is the one who comforts the kiddos at night so Anael can sleep, even though she's an Elf and doesn't need as much sleep, and every time he's involved in bath time it's messy chaos 😂

He shows his daughters how to properly defend themselves (although Fin prefers to headbutt people like her godfather Gimli taught her). He's also very protective of his girls and adores them. He's basically the Maes Hughes of Middle-earth.

As I showed in my fic about Boromir babysitting his grandson, he does a lot of things that servants would normally do in noble households, and he doesn't really care if anyone sees him with food in his hair or soap bubbles stuck to his beard.

He cries at his wedding. He cries when his daughters are born. He cries when they start walking/talking. He cries when they make their debuts. He cries when they get married. He cries when he holds his grandchildren for the first time. He's just a big emotional teddy bear.

WIP Game

Thanks for the tag @curufiin!

Rules: Make a poll with the titles of all your current WIPs. For whichever one wins, write 300 words and share a snippet if you want.

So my WIP list has been reduced thanks to me cutting a lot of stuff out and some is also for other fandoms, but here's what we got:

All WIPs marked with * are either for a non-Tolkien fandom or for our d&d campaign. Since I keep those private/to their own blogs/keep this blog Tolkien-focused, I most likely wouldn't share snippets for them here. Not comfortable atm.

No pressure tags: @sauron-kraut @armenelols @serene-faerie @sidroq @saintstars and everyone else who wants to :)

lucifers-legions

I wasn't tagged but this looks like fun! You can find summaries and moodboards for all of my fics in my masterlist.

I did not include all of them in this poll because some of the fics can't be started yet. All of these are for the LOTR fandom except the last one, which is from ACOTAR.

Anonymous asked:

if you could 'borrow' one of your mutuals' ocs and introduce them to one of your ocs who would you pick and who would you introduce them to?

sotwk answered:

Eeek what an interesting Ask! <3 Thank you, Anon!

Okay, I am going to pick FIVE (there's no rule that says I can't, right?). I have so many talented writer friends who have created wonderful OCs, and to be honest I just haven't gotten around to reading about all of them. These are just a few OCs whom I know well enough and could immediately see as great "guest stars" in the SotWK AU.

TOLKIEN OCS I WOULD BORROW FROM MY MUTUALS:

@lathalea's Litha (a Dwarf-elleth) from "Dwalin Has A Bad Day". I would introduce this spunky yet sweet Dwelf lady to Elvenqueen Maereth. I'm certain Maereth would want to meet her and discuss how Mirkwood can help her people and end the bad blood that has formed between them.
@meluiloth's Findoron (an ellon). I admit I only know bits and pieces about this OC so far, but I think it would be interesting to see if his angst against the royal family couldn't be fixed somehow (even just a little bit?) by interactions with some of my OC Thranduilions. If not Queen Maereth herself, maybe Prince Mirion or Arvellas. It's very hard to hate those guys.
@from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras's Eadlin (a Rohirrim woman) from "Into the Breach". I had matched Eadlin to Prince Turhir Thranduilion in my OC Matchmaker game, but I honestly think a lovely platonic relationship could exist between these two, echoing Turhir's alliances and affection for Eadlin's ancient Northmen ancestors.
@missiemoosie's Baylee (a Hobbit lass) from "Her Dreams Became Nightmares". Moosie already created fanart featuring Baylee and Prince Gelir Thranduilion long ago, and I still think it would be awesome if the two could actually have a story together someday!
@scyllas-revenge's Beatrice (a modern girl) from "Burn Like Cold Iron". Gosh, I enjoy sassy, funny, silently kick-ass Bee and I would just LOVE for her to come to Mirkwood somehow and hang out with Thranduilions and see them through her eyes. Dunno how it would work timeline wise, but oh well.

BONUS: Other great OCs I have my eye on (I just need to read more, and you should check them out too!):

@dilettantefeminist's Sîrwen from "Cultivation"
@fishing4stars's Lossrilleth from "The Forest in Winter"
@softboiledwonderland's Anna from "Gifts of the Water"
@niennawept's Palariel from "Scars of Silver and Gold"
@lucifers-legions's Anael from "Garo Estel"

Okay, so this kind of got out of hand and unintentionally turned into a Fanfic Rec list. But... that's good, right? :)

GO TOLKIEN OCS GO!!!

GIF by whatareyoureallyafraidof

from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras

I would be SO PUMPED for Eadlin to enjoy a lovely platonic friendship with a giant, badass, somewhat emotionally damaged elven prince!!! I loved that match when it came up through your Ask game, and I love it just as much in friendship form. They could help each other heal from their respective traumas!

Also, big “I second this” to so many of the great OCs on this list! @sotwk and I have similar tastes and so, unsurprisingly, love many of the same fics and OCs.

lucifers-legions

Anael would definitely love to hang out in Mirkwood! Though I will warn you that she'll probably try to befriend all of the spiders, so someone should keep an eye on her. 🤦‍♀️
