Knee-deep in this Thorin fic
Dear Friends and Followers: Thank you for your patience while I attempt to hyperfocus on this Thorin fic that is past deadline and I need to complete within 6 days! I have written approx. 3,500 out of a projected 7,000 words (yeah, this bad boy has grown), so I really need to put my nose to the grindstone on this one. I do not want to flop and fail on my first writing event. (*sob*)
I just had to make this quick announcement because I have left a bunch of Asks and Messages and Tags unanswered (not to mention fics unread and unreviewed!) these past couple of weeks, and I feel anxious and guilty about it. I promise I will get back to regular blog activity once I fulfill this important commitment. I am not ignoring or forgetting any of you! <3
Thank you to the mods of @thorinsspringforge and my event partner @cycas for their kindness, patience, and understanding, and I hope I don't let you down!
And I definitely hope the finished product will be worth the wait. (Oh, the pressure! XD)
PS. Yes, Thranduil guest-stars in this Thorin story, because the Elvenking is still everything to this writer. ;-)

There's a lot of design philosophy out there that is super cool and interesting but I think one of the core beliefs that is apparent in my home is just...I think it's fun when a house surprises you. When you don't know what the next door is going to lead to, when the layout is not quite what you expect, when it's silly and fun and comfortably fancy. So yes, I've been doing fun colors and patterns on the insides of every closet, because why not? They're small spaces. They can be ridiculous and functional at the same time and they make me smile when I open up the closet doors, and nobody expects it.

there's so many things in tsc that just come at you all at once, so it's hard to focus on just one thing to break down, but the most glaring thing that stood out to me is how hard it is to really put someone back together. especially someone so shattered that it's nigh impossible to glue them back and pray they don't crumble under your ministrations.
if jean is neil's foil, then jeremy is andrew's direct antithesis. whereas andrew is a steady bedrock because he's been broken too many times to know how to weather the storm, jeremy is too soft hands and an even softer soul. he cares and cares and cares. so empathetic and so gentle it almost breaks your heart. you pray for the impossibility that jeremy can survive knowing the truth because if he doesn't, then what hope does jean have? so you pray he can be steady too. that he can weather the storm as well. that he will not break when knowing that just under the surface lies shark-infested waters.
but then you remember the beginning. "even knowing everything could go completely sideways, you'd make that choice every time"
in every other universe, jean has not survived. but in every other universe, he did not have the trojans.
