First of all, thank you so much for creating for me!

I'm pretty easy to please and don't have very specific wishes for all the characters and groups I requested, but that doesn't mean I'd be any less happy about fanfiction for the ones I don't have prompts for. And if you want to write something different than the prompts I posted, please do so!

I generally don't really separate between the different fandoms, so if a worldbuilding tag from one fandom fits with a character from a different one, please feel free to mix them! Also, feel free to add other characters than I requested if it works for the story.

I do have a few things I don't really feel comfortable with, so let's get started with that.

Do-not-wants:

  • smut
  • non-con
  • A/B/O
  • underage
  • a person falling from our world into middle-earth
  • reader insert
Dislikes (if they can be avoided):
  • animal death
  • eye trauma


General likes:

  • siblings interacting
  • female characters
  • humor, crack, H/C, fluff, drama, tragedy
  • friendship to relationship
  • worldbuilding
  • cultures (including ceremonies and rituals) and cultural differences
  • prophetic dreams, visions, shared dreams, ghosts
  • time-travel, reincarnations (there are some interesting worldbuilding prompts in this exchange and I'm not sure I always have the right characters requested for them, so these tropes might be work-arounds...)
  • the uncanny, eldritch creatures and settings, horror
  • animal characters showing behaviours that are typical for their species
  • plants, gardening, landscapes
  • difficult decisions
  • characters who keep fighting despite the odds
  • characters showing an unexpected side
  • characters who do not get along at first coming to respect and even like each other
  • characters being experts or geeky about something

Below is my wish list (copied from AO3, I just prefer to have it on here as well).

The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien

Belladonna Took (Hobbit books)

Dís (Hobbit books)

Bilbo Baggins (Hobbit book)

Original Dwarf of Erebor character (Hobbit book)

Elvenking (Hobbit book)

 

Group: Balin & Thorin (Hobbit book)

Group: Bard & Thorin (Hobbit book)

Group: Thorin & Thranduil (Hobbit book)

Group: Gollum & the goblins (Hobbit book)

Group: Belladonna Took/Dís (Hobbit book)

Group: Lobelia Sackville-Baggins/Dís (Hobbit book)

 

Worldbuilding: in-universe folk tales (Hobbit book)

Worldbuilding: Tooks and Bagginses (Hobbit book)

worldbuilding: woodelves are more dangerous and less "wise"

Worldbuilding: Thorin before the quest of Erebor (Hobbit book)

Worldbuilding: Mountain wildlife and minerals in dwarven lore

Worldbuilding: dragons and dwarves

Worldbuilding: dwarves transforming into dragons

Worldbuilding: unsettling Mirkwood wildlife

Worldbuilding: people falling into Mirkwood river transform into the black butterflies

Worldbuilding: dwarves being slightly bioluminescent


Some ideas: 

1. Dragons + dwarves: I'd like to see something going beyond the known pattern of a dragon attacking and the dwarves fleeing. Trying to strike up deals, negotiations, perhaps even sharing a mountain in some way? Dwarves outsmarting a dragon or failing to do so? Dwarves transforming into dragons and vice versa; what impacts does it have on relationships, politics and myths?

  2. Anything about someone running into problems in Mirkwood (perhaps even the elves or the Elvenking himself, after the Necromancer settles in the South). I'd love to read about its creepiness and wildlife.   

3. Belladonna (or other hobbits) going on adventures. Encounters on the road, new friendships, how it changes her/them and the relationship with others. How she/they perhaps learn to embrace her/their more "Baggins-ish" side. 

4. How Gollum and the goblins interact. Does he make his way into their stories and myths? Do they tolerate him and why?


The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)

Bard the Bowman (Hobbit movies)

Hilda Bianca (Hobbit Movies)

 

Group: Bard & Hilda Bianca (Hobbit Movies)

group: Bard/Thranduil (Hobbit movies)

Group: Thorin/Thranduil (Hobbit movies)

Group: Thorin /Dwalin (Hobbit movies)

Group: Tauriel/Sigrid (Hobbit movies)

Group: Thorin/Dain (Hobbit movies)

 

Worldbuilding: Harvesting Smaug's Corpse for Valuables (Hobbit Movies)

Worldbuilding: Politics in Dale and Esgaroth (Hobbit Movies)

Worldbuilding: the connection between king and forest

worldbuilding: Thranduil's dragonfire scars

 Some ideas:

1. I like the idea of Hilda Bianca being Bard's sister-in-law (though I'm open to other ideas). I'd love seeing them supporting each other through tough times and perhaps having a secret network working against the Master of Laketown and Alfred. It would also be interesting to see how the events in the movies change things. 

2. Anything focussing on how the elf/human or dwarf/elf pairings influence politics or vice versa. 

3. Thranduil showing someone (partner, friend or perhaps someone he wants to influence) Mirkwood as he sees and experiences it. 

4. Thranduil's dragon fire scars not just changing him physically, but also mentally. Did he retain some connection with the dragon? Does he have some moments of dragonish personality?  

5. People harvesting Smaug's corpse for valuables - and someone had some sort of connection to Smaug, be it Thranduil through his scar or a dwarf because Smaug was a relative or friend who transformed (see prompt for Hobbit (book)). How does this affect them and how do they react? 

6. For Dwalin/Thorin, I'd be interested in reading something about them going separate ways for a while during their exile. Up to you if they were in a relationship before (and after?) that, or if they only got together after reuniting. (Other ideas are great too, obviously!)

I'd prefer to have no Kili/Tauriel though.

Barrow-wights (LotR books)

Gilraen (LOTR books)

Lady of the Blue Brooch (LotR books)

Old Man Willow (LOTR books)

Ghân-buri-Ghân

Ivriniel

Fredegar Bolger

 

Group: Arwen & Éowyn & Lothíriel (LotR books)

Group: Belladonna Took & Círdan (LotR books)

Group: Gildor & the fox wandering through the woods on business of his own (LotR books)

Group: Gandalf & the Old Took (LotR books)

Group: People of the Enedwaith (LotR books)

group: Rangers and Hobbits (LOTR book)

Group: Aragorn/Denethor                         

Group: Boromir & Faramir

Group: Faramir & Ivriniel

Group: Finduilas & Ivriniel

Group: Deagol & Gollum (LotR books)

 

Worldbuilding: Barrow-wights and Barrow-downs (LotR Books)

Worldbuilding: Belladonna Took and the Sea

Worldbuilding: Fornost (LotR books)

worldbuilding: healing and healers

Worldbuilding: legends of Rohan (LotR books)

Worldbuilding: Motivations of Sentient Trees (LotR books)

Worldbuilding: culture of the Drúedain

Worldbuilding: other towns in Gondor

Worldbuilding: Dol Amroth

Worldbuilding: the sea bringing strange things to the shores of Gondor

Some ideas:
1. For any combination of Faramir, Ivriniel and Boromir: I'd like to read something about Faramir going to live with Ivriniel for a while during his youth. How did it influence him? How did it affect his relationship with Boromir? Or if you don't want to add Ivriniel in, I'd also be interested in reading about the brothers having a disagreement for once and then forgiving each other.

2. Aragon/Denethor: I like the idea of them having had a relationship during Aragorn's time as Thorongil. How did things go sour and end? Did Denethor guess who Thorongil really was? (Bitter endings for this pairing are completely okay!)

3. Arwen & Eowyn & Lothiriel: did they have a rocky start and perhaps rivalries in the beginning? How did this turn to friendship? I'd also love anything about them comparing childhood memories and their cultures and legends.

4. Gandalf & the Old Took: How did they meet and how did their friendship develop? Did they have any disagreements or arguments?

5. Old Man Willow: what does a tree perceive of the world and how does it react to the constant dangers? I'd also be interested in the communications with other plants (wood-wide-web with mushrooms?)

6. I'd love to read about the interactions, misunderstandings and reconciliations between the People of the Enedwaith. What happens after the events of LotR? Do they have interactions with sentient trees?

7. Anything about the lives of the Barrow-wrights before their transformation. How did they experience the transformation? Is the Lady of the Blue Brooch one of them? And who did they manage to trap?

8. For interactions between hobbits and rangers, I'd love to read something about the Fell Winter and what exactly happened that an agricultural society like that of the hobbits had to be supplied with food by the far less agrarian society of rangers. I'd also be interested in general interactions, dependencies and their consequences.

9.  Anything about Fredegar Bolger's friendship with the hobbits of the fellowship before and after the events of LotR, and his character development in general.

10. Gilraen's life beyond her roll as a mother.

11. Anything about Deagol's and Smeagol's interactions before the ring was found. I imagine their relationship had it's ups and downs and rivalries even before then. Maybe also Gollum remember Deagol afterwards.

12. Anything about the different cultures of middle earth, their myths, interactions and misunderstandings. Stories about any slice of history are also great!


Crossover Fandom

Group: Ancalagon (Silm) & Scatha (LotR books) & Smaug (Hobbit book)

Group: Celegorm (Silm) & the fox wandering through the woods on business of his own (LotR books)

Group: Denethor of Ossiriand (Silm) & Denethor II (LotR books)

Group: the Blue Wizards (LotR books) & Maglor (Silm)

 

Worldbuilding: Hauntings (Crossover)

Worldbuilding: in-universe folk tales (Crossover)

Worldbuilding: Seeing Stones (Crossover)

Worldbuilding: Sentient Weapons & Jewellery (Crossover)

Worldbuilding: Water Magic (Crossover)



Some ideas:
1. For Ancalagon & Scatha & Smaug, I'd be interested in seeing something exploring the origins of dragons, the connections between the three and common memories they may have. Do dragons reincarne? Do they have some sort of hivemind or telepathy? Is there some kind of hierarchy between them?

2. The blue wizards and Maglor: did they know each other before the blue wizards arrived? Was it a chance meeting? Are they supposed to bring him a message? Do they ask him for help in their mission? Is Maglor even still interested in the goings-on in the world after all that time?
