[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".

Out of ideas, Kíli drops his arms and hugs his knees to his chest, chewing his lower lip. He doesn't know how to build a boat, but the sea is practically around the corner... "I'll find someone who can do it," he promises, earnest in his determination to help Maglor get home to his mother.

Maglor has to stay his secret, though. Apart from Fíli, he won't tell anyone about him.

"You've seen some, Mister Maglor? Other elves?"

It's better to picture them hiding among the trees than Maglor living all alone in a hollow old tree trunk in the woods.

"Ah little one. Do not trouble yourself for me, eh?" Maglor smiles at Kili fondly and does not say that he is sure any boat going West would sink for far more reasons than the boat being ill made (or would it? He would rather not take the chance).

"I have, although none recently in this area. But there was a small settlement of Silvan in these woods, although they have not been here for a long time, I think."
