    Summary

    Experience a tale of passion, betrayal, and redemption, where every kiss is a battle won and every embrace is a victory over fear and secrets. This story is about telling the truth and never being ashamed about who we love.

    If you are looking for an entire retelling of The Lord of The Rings with the premise of Gimli and Legolas being secretly married for years, then this is the story for you.

    “It’s me,” said Legolas, as if Gimli would not be able to recognize him even blind, deaf, and probably with a concussion too.

    The elf stepped into the moonlight, allowing the soft glow to illuminate his features, so achingly beautiful that for a moment Gimli thought maybe he still had a few tears left to cry after all. Legolas moved closer, the wrap of food held out like a truce, and a gentle smile played on his lips.

    Gimli threw the axe.

    It hit the stony frame of the window, on purpose, yet still close enough to Legolas’ face to seem menacing. “The door was locked for a reason. Only your arrogant ass would think it was an invitation to enter my room from the balcony.”

    Summary

    An army of orcs descend upon the Firien Wood in Gondor soon after the ring has been cast into Mordor. An unfortunate battle leaves Gimli captured, lost in unfamiliar trees—yet he is not alone.

    Reluctantly teamed up with King Thranduil, the currently injured dwarf-hater, Gimli must make the difficult decision to help him. After all, the enemy of my enemy is the father of the elf I'm helplessly in love with—right?

    (now with an added epilogue!)

    Summary

    Gimli closes his eyes, an old Dwarf on the brink of death in the home he had built with his husband in the Undying Lands, and opens them again as a young Dwarf in his childhood home in Ered Luin. He's returned to the tumultuous week before The Company set out to recruit their Burglar from his cosy hobbit hole. Gimli, once again a impetuous teen in the eyes of his family, must get into that Company--the lives of his loved ones, and the very fate of Middle Earth--depends on it.
