[meme] The everyone survived AU

[goldenplaits]

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".

[She chuckles softly.] Let us not cause trouble too soon. He has been good to us and he has not forced his company on us as he could.

[Well, he did raise Galadriel. He might have some experience. Of a sort.]

[huntingorcs]

[ He heaves a put upon sigh and pouts cheerfully at her ]

Oh fine. I will behave. I suppose he has been very kind and patient. I just do not want anything to upset you.

[silvergift]

Thank you, darling. Your grandmother trusted in him to help, we should as well. And we cannot afford, I think, to pull away from family.

[huntingorcs]

I guess. [ He grumbles a little but it's mostly for show at this point - can't be seen to give in too easily, after all! ]

And I suppose it would be nice to get to know some of the family here.

[silvergift]

[She glad he's giving in, recognizing the signs.]

It would help us settle and I am sure they have been anxious to know us. [She takes a breath, finishing her tea with a smile.] I think that helped. I do not feel quite so tired now.

[huntingorcs]

[ He grumbles but nods ]

I suppose that makes sense. [ He leans against her again ] Good. I'm glad you're getting better, nana.

[silvergift]

[She sighs, content, as he leans.] Should we try a walk around today? Or would you rather we relax here for the day?

lol

[huntingorcs]

[ He shrugs a little, jiggling her as he moves, his cheerful mood restored ]

We could. I don't mind, nana. Where were you thinking? The gardens, you think?

[silvergift]

The gardens, hm. That sounds lovely, actually. Fresh air and flowers, what could be more relaxing?

[huntingorcs]

That's true. [ He agrees ] Maybe we'll find some plants that we don't have in Middle-earth!

[silvergift]

I am sure that we will. Mother once said that all plants that have ever been grow here. [Or in Lorien's garden at least.]

[huntingorcs]

.... All plants? [ He looks a bit doubtful ] Even the ones that need different climates? That seems a little strange...

[silvergift]

Even those. [She nods and smiles.] We shall have to find them for ourselves.

[huntingorcs]

Well if you say so! I suppose no harm in looking - daereneth would be best suited to know after all. [ He shrugs and grins at her ] Maybe we can find some of those fruits that the trade caravans sometimes bring through from the East.

[silvergift]

No harm at all. And I will have my brave protective son with me just in case. [She laughs softly.] I am sure we will and we can bring some back as a treat. I doubt anyone will mind.

[huntingorcs]

If we find some I will make sure to help you make something with them. [ He smiles back, pleased to see her looking so well ]

I wonder what treasures we will find?

[silvergift]

That would be wonderful, darling. It has been awhile since we have made anything and I am sure everyone here has had a severe lack of Imladris' treats. [They could wow them all.]

Let us find out.

[huntingorcs]

[ They will make everyone realise that Imladris has the best kitchens ]

They will be green with envy! [ He grins and sits up, offering her his hand ]

Shall we, nana?

[silvergift]

[The very best. Imladris was the best in general though.

With a smile, she stands up and takes his hand.] Lead on. Wherever you prefer first.

[huntingorcs]

[ Absolutely ]

[ He grins and tucks her hand into his arm ]

Forth to adventure! [ He crows cheerfully, as they used to do when they were much younger, and leads her out of the room. ]
