    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the youngest Commander in ISS history; straight-backed, closeted, and so tightly on his own leash that seven months in orbit with Ilya Rozanov have not produced a single crack in his composure.

    Ilya Rozanov is the Russian cosmonaut who should have had his job, won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball off the walls, and is still looking for a fissure. Thankfully, a solar storm finds it for him.

    or: Near-death, zero gravity, and the wrong man’s hands in exactly the right places.

    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.

    “Comes Around Again” by scarletjedi

    Gimli’s life ends when he closes his eyes in the house he shares with his elven husband in the Undying Lands. He then wakes up, young and beardless, just before Thorin’s Company sets out to take on Smaug.

    Summary

    The Dwarves are returning to Erebor reclaimed, and the elves uphold their promise to safeguard the caravans as they pass through Mirkwood.

    One particular Dwarf has wit and spark enough to match Legolas Greenleaf - perhaps even outmatch him.

    It's hate at first sight.

    “Hearts Will as Hearts Must” by determamfidd

    Legolas escorts a group of dwarves home to Erebor and spends most of the journey bickering with a young Gimli. They continue insulting each other via letters, and eventually things cool into an epistolary friendship, or perhaps more. Dain is the first to suspect and Thorin the last.

    Summary

    “Well, of course!” Master Baggins spoke his observations in such a factual manner. “Handsome beards on the line of Durin indeed. Surely, I’d only look all the more foolish sitting next to you.”

    Thorin blinked and felt heat rush up beneath his cheeks. Prayed to Mahal that his humble beard might survive the sudden praise. For again, he had always wished that Master Baggins might find him attractive in spite of his less than suitable beard, but here was Master Baggins ever the Unexpected. And here he was dolling out such lovely compliments.

    “Not his beard,” Dwalin let out with a mirthful scoff. “It’s not any better than Kíli’s.”

    “Oh, nonsense!” Master Baggins furrowed his brow. “You mean to tell me that you dwarves consider it unattractive to groom one’s beard so short?”

    “Compression” by CBlue

    By Dwarrow standards, Thorin and his beard are nothing to look twice at. Good thing Bilbo is a hobbit.
    Everyone Lives AU where Thorin deepens his understanding of his affection for Bilbo and realizes he is already squarely in love. But does Bilbo return his feelings?
