    Summary

    Donna had wanted Carmen to say something at the funeral. What the fuck was he going to say? That he hadn’t seen or talked to his brother since Christmas, that Michael didn’t answer his phone calls, that he left the house as soon as Carmen showed up? Is he supposed to stand in front of the people who knew Michael best and beg for their attention, their forgiveness, because he couldn’t beg Michael anymore?

    --
    When Michael died, Carmen flew back to Chicago.

    He still missed the funeral.

    Summary

    Set at the start of Supergirl (2026)

    Kara Zor-El lives as a husk of a person. She lingers in a white world that is without colour until she blows off the blue flame on her drink and downs a shot, then another and another. She lets the alcohol pull her apart until she is nothing more than an unthinking, unmoving blob of a being melting against the booth of a bar in space.

    Kara has lost her home, her family, and herself. A dog, a cousin and a girl try to find her in the pieces that remain.

    Summary

    "You know how we're going back to Truham for the holidays?"

    Nick stopped running his fingers through Charlie's soft curls for a few seconds in their shared bed before returning his hand to the soothing, repetitive motion that was needed after a hectic day of being a teacher's aid at the local primary school.

    "Yeah, of course," Nick insisted, feeling Charlie's breath hitch for a moment against his own chest where Charlie was resting his head, "is everything okay?"

    "Oliver invited us to Christmas."

    "I think I hate mum."

    The way she said it, so calm and sure of herself without a thread of hesitation in her voice despite the gravity of what she was saying, was the most worrying part of it all to Charlie.

    Summary

    In Middle-earth, there is a common misconception that because Hobbits are small, their tolerance for vice must be equally diminutive. This is a fallacy that has led many a sturdy Man and stout Dwarf into a very deep, very regretful slumber. Hobbits live lives centered on the celebration of the senses. Their bodies are built like high-performance furnaces, fueled by seven meals a day and a metabolism that operates at a frequency most other races would find exhausting. To a Hobbit, a pint of ale is essentially liquid bread, and they consume it with the same casual frequency that a Dwarf might consume water from a mountain spring.

    Summary

    Gimli spotted Tauriel from time to time, though he’d never spoken to her. He’d no wish to. He’d resented her presence for so long, glaring every time he saw her, biting back the urge to shout at her to go away, to leave his people be. Gimli wanted to rage and fight, to demand she leave his family alone; they were his, not hers. Never hers. Never an Elf’s. He’d so badly wanted to take her to task for besmirching his beloved cousin’s honour even now, so long after Kíli was gone.

    He’d been furious every time he saw her at Kíli’s grave; it felt like she was stealing his time with his kin, for he could not even visit Fíli or Thorin while she was with Kíli. Not comfortably. He couldn’t talk to them with her there, so he always stormed off in anger and waited for her to leave. He was always happy to see the back of her.

    Until now, until now that he finally understood. Now he was sorry to have missed her.

    *

    When all is said and done, the Fellowship have tombs to visit in Erebor. Gimli has a lot to reflect on regarding his lost cousins.

    In particular, the romance he's only recently come to understand between Kíli and Tauriel.

    Being blonde is a rare feature in the Durin family line. It is often referred to as the 'Lucky Hair', but the truth is far more complicated than that. Frís, Frerin, and Fíli have had to deal with the repercussions of their 'gift'.

    Summary

    Thorin had fought for Erebor for years that were painted dark and red in his memories, had given more than any crown could ever repay, and suffered beyond what should have broken him. And for a brief, fleeting moment, it had been his.

    He had spent so many years shaping Fíli to be exactly what a king needed to be – sharpening him, refining him, pressing him into the mold of duty and expectations. So many years for a crown that Fíli would never feel the weight of.

    And Kíli had grown – sharper, taller, faster. Louder. There was more of him now: more noise, more light, more life. He had become someone unrecognizable from the quiet boy he had once been.

     

    Or, everything that goes through Thorin’s head in the few minutes between being stabbed and dying.

    "They are reckless. They are undisciplined. And frankly, they are far too comfortable with the idea that their uncle will simply growl and then forget their transgressions by the time the evening roast is served."

    "They are young," Bilbo reminded him, though he knew that using that particular excuse was like throwing oil on a forge-fire.
    ...
    .........
    .............
    .......
    Thorin stepped closer, his shadow engulfing the smaller man. "Since when have you cared so much about them?!"

    The words hung in the air, sharp and unretractable.

    Bilbo didn't flinch. He didn't recoil from the King’s wrath. Instead, his face set into a mask of fierce, maternal indignation. He stepped forward, poking a finger directly into the center of Thorin’s fur-lined tunic.

    "Since they started calling me 'Uncle' too!" Bilbo yelled back, his voice echoing with a finality that silenced the room.

    "Children, what are you doing on the ground?"

    The twins scream and jump to their feet. Grunkle Ford is standing right behind them. Dipper will never understand how such a tall man can sneak up on you like that. Ford has some sticks and leaves in his hair and his hands clasped behind his back. His skin is still faintly tanned from his months on the Stan' o War II which is a good look on him. He actually looks younger than he did three years ago. There is a twinkle in his eyes that has been there ever since Mabel and Dipper fell out of the bus and right into his and Grunkle Stan’s arms.

    "Are you two being mischievous already?" he asks with a laugh and leans over so he can see what they have been staring at. "The summer has barely starte-" He breaks off and just stares. "Oh my."

    "It's my fault but it was an accident!" Dipper blurts.

    "Well, my boy. If you had done this on purpose we would have even bigger problems."

    *********
    Summer is here and Dipper has already seriously messed up. Grunkle Stan has no choice but to send him straight back home... right?
