Due to recent events in the movie world, it seemed like we needed one of these again...

THE ARDA AU MEME

{source}

All the AUs! With classics as the obligatory and all important

> EVERYONE LIVED AU. Maybe you're at Thorin's festive coronation or a drinking game between Boromir and Haldir after the end of the War, or Fëanor and Thingol finally talk to each other. Maybe Belladonna comes with her son on adventures, or Maedhros spends some very awkward hours at Elrond's wedding. U know the drill.
> but let's not forget the staple COFFEESHOP AU either
> or the no less important WHAT IF AU: What if the Silmarils were glowing bunnies? What if Bard hadn't managed to take down Smaug? What if Maeglin had not betrayed Gondolin, what if Galadriel had accepted the One Ring? What if Sam had a giant afro?
> and really any other AUs that you can think of.

As a note, since not everyone has seen BOFA yet and some people care about not being spoiled, please make a note in your top level comment/the subject line of a comment if you might bring up spoilers in threads or don't want to be spoiled, something like "bofa spoilers yes" or "bofa spoilers no".

[Frerin rolls his eyes and grabs a few for his nephew, bringing another beer over.]

Here. You look like shit.

I take those, I can't drink that.

[But he takes the pills anyway]

Ow.

A sip isn't gonna kill ya.

[Clearly he's the best influence.]

No, but Oin will. Soda?

Fine, fine... [He gets up, grabbing a cold soda out of the fridge and passing it to Kili.] Can I sit down now?

If you want.

[He opens the boxes and gestures]

You picked it up, so have at it.

Thanks. [He nods, grabbing a slice and finally sitting down next to him. He props his feet up on the ottoman, closing his eyes briefly as he chews.]

This is heavenly.
