Title: A Different Path
Fandom: The Hobbit
Pairing/Characters: Fili/Kili/Tauriel, Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield, Dis, The Company
Summary: Kíli’s version of the events of An Accidental Engagement.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long (16,195 words)
Disclaimer: None of this belongs to me, except the things I made up about dwarf courting.
Notes/Warnings: Includes incest, obviously, and some suicidal behavior.  An Accidental Engagement should probably be read first even though this is very different in tone.
Excerpt: Kíli knew that he needed to convince Fíli that yes, he loved Tauriel- but he loved Fíli too and if he did nothing else for the rest of his life he would find a way to be with both of them, whether such a thing was customary among their kind or not. Kíli also knew that he was only likely to get one chance to do it, so it was going to have to be perfect.

And as Fíli would have told anyone who asked, getting things right in one try was not one of Kíli’s specialties.

So, I had a stupid little argument with myself over whether or not to do the "I'm really proud of the snippet.  You liked it?  Well, tough luck sucker because that's all I have written of that fic" version of this meme, but I drew the line.

These are all from stories that are at least 80% done and may will surface not too long from now.

( An Accidental Engagement- The Hobbit, Bilbo/Thorin )

( Something Blue- Once Upon a Time, Belle/Rumplestiltskin, Doctor Who AU sequel )

( The Three Curses- The Musketeers, Aramis/Athos/Porthos + Constance/d'Artagnan, Fairytale AU )

Look, they even have titles! (I'm so bad at titles it's not even funny)
  

I saw The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies yesterday.

Some thoughts from the trailers:

Latest in the ongoing saga of remaking perfectly good movies because we have better special effects and must use them gratuitously, we have a new Mad Max.  I like Tom Hardy, it's a shame this movie looks so stupid.  Just because you can make a thing look realistic in your movie doesn't mean you should.

In the Heart of the Sea: I don't even know what this is, but seriously since when did Moby Dick come from a true story?  Maybe it did- I'm just saying I've never heard that before, and this trailer had a very "As we all know..." tone to it.

Then there were two trailers for films already in my theater, the new Night at the Museum movie and Into the Woods.  Movies take so long to come out now; it's surreal (and sad) when a film comes out with an actor who passed away some time ago as with Night at the Museum. I doubt I'll see the movie itself.  I actually saw the second one recently and found it more entertaining than I expected to.  I did learn from the trailer that the guy I was calling Not-Tom-Mison in my head based on the poster is meant to be Sir Lancelot, but he would still be improved by being played by Tom Mison.  I doubt I'll see Into the Woods either; I've never been a fan of that musical.  It was a well-made trailer, though.

( And my thoughts on the film )

It's interesting how well post-BOTFA fix-it fics hold up now that the film is out.  I mean, I haven't read The Hobbit in years, but the one I wrote is still pretty valid.  I may post it sometime soon, but that'll require typing it up.  Meh.
