Back by popular demand (lol two people but let me have my moment): the Guardianofrivendell Birthday Writing Challenge!

A writing challenge?

Yes! To celebrate Tullaina's and my own upcoming birthday on June 11th, I challenge YOU, my dear mutuals, friends and followers, to write! Because what better way to celebrate my birthday than by being creative?

You can write anything from a little drabble to a full-blown 5k+ words fic story, whatever you feel like. But about what?

Well... If you remember last year, the writing challenge was all about the Incorrect Tullaina Quotes. I’m bringing them back because it was a lot of fun, but I’m adding two more options for those who want to try something else this year or simply don’t want to write about my OC (which I totally understand!!)

You can write fluff, angst, even smut, use every cliche trope in the book if you want, but make sure to tag your work accordingly so no one gets surprised!

You can find the three options further down this post.

How do I participate?

If you decide to join this little writing challenge, I'll be forever in your debt and super super grateful that you helped by not letting this flop!

Send me an ask or dm if you want to join this challenge with the option of your choice. I'll list the participants in this post and depending of if they want to, I’ll add what option they chose so you’ll have a basic idea of what everyone else is doing (because we like that, we’re human after all)

Deadline is Saturday June 11th 2022, this means you’ll have about 6 weeks time to write your work. On June 11th, everyone can post their work on Tumblr using the tag #Guardianofrivendell Birthday Writing Challenge 2022 so we can find the fic and don't forget to tag me in it!

The day after I’ll link all the works in one big GBWC 2022 Masterlist.

Can I post the fic on other platforms too?

Sure! Go ahead and post it on AO3, Wattpad or whatever platform you use outside of Tumblr.

What if I can't write, but I want to draw something or make a moodboard?

Uh... Yes please! You don't even have to ask! Same thing, send me an ask or dm that you’ll join the challenge and I’ll add your name to the list. You can still choose between the three options!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me an ask or message! I’ll probably reblog this post a lot of times the next 6 weeks, so sorry in advance for that :)

I read this post but I still don’t understand what this challenge is or what I have to do?

Don’t worry, we all get that sometimes! Luckily for you (and me!) I did this challenge last year as well. You can read all the works and watch the beautiful art pieces here so you can see how my wonderful mutuals and friends took on this challenge like a boss! Aren’t I the luckiest one?

Alright, alright, we get it! Now get to the options already!

You can choose out of three options, or combine them if you want, go crazy:

Pick a quote (or quotes if you’re feeling ambitious) from the tag “Incorrect Tullaina Quotes”. Use it as inspiration, build your story around it or use it as part of a dialogue in the fic. Your choice!

Search the tag “Incorrect Tullaina Quotes” in the Tumblr search bar or on my blog and you’re supposed to get most of them that way. There are over 100 incorrect quotes, so I can’t link them all in this post. It would simply be too much. However, if there are enough people who do want a list with all the quotes lined up, let me know and I’ll see if I can collect them in a doc and link that doc here. It’s a lot of work, so it can take a while before I’m able to do that.

If you need more information about my OC Tullaina, you can find fics, arts and her character sheet in my masterlist.

As you all know I’m a pretty slow writer and cursed to be visited by plot bunnies all the time. This can be quite frustrating because I know I won’t be able to write them all, even if I really, really want to.

So why not challenge you to write them for me?

Under the “read more” cut you can find a selection of Tullaina Plot Bunnies, little moments out of Tullaina’s life that I was planning to write someday. Some are almost summaries of the (non-existing) fic, while others are just “what about so and so”.

Don’t be afraid to write Tullaina OOC because you can’t! If I learned anything about last year’s challenge it’s that I love every version of Tullaina that was created, not once did I think “She wouldn’t say or do that!” because I was so in the moment!

Isn’t that a question we all ask ourselves sometimes? What if?

Well, now is the moment you can find out! Under the cut are 10 “What if” questions. Pick one and rewrite a scene from The Hobbit or Lord of The Rings, or write a new one!

For example, what if you pick the question “What if Thranduil was the smallest Elf in history?”, you could imagine how the scene in the throne room between Thranduil and Thorin would go a little differently... Let your imagination run free!

Thought of a What If-question that you would love to write but can’t find in the list? No problem, then you’re choosing number 11!

Tullaina Plot Bunnies

Here you can find little snippets out of Tullaina’s life that I wrote down in a doc (literally, it’s a copy paste out of that doc minus two that I really want to write myself) because I wanted to write a fic about it at some point. But you know me, I can’t write fast so who knows when it’ll get done, if ever. Feel free to give it your own twist!

Tullaina has a nickname ‘Tulls’, but only Fili and Kili use it. They get very protective if anyone else picks up on the nickname and uses it to address Tullaina. What would happen if at some point (say at a feast or gathering), another Dwarf uses the nickname when he talks/flirts to her? Could be any period of time: Ered Luin, during the quest, in Erebor, ...

There’s a ball in Ered Luin, the first one since forever (mostly to boost morale a bit) and the first one Fíli, Kíli and Tulls are allowed to go to. It’s the first time Fíli sees Tullaina all dressed up (hair done nicely, a proper dress). His mouth runs dry and he knows it will be a long night this way. How does the evening go?

Tullaina is trained by Thorin and Dwalin, and sometimes even Fíli and Kíli. She has the normal amount of training every Dwarrow gets, but once she decides to join the Quest, her training sessions pick up. What would a training session look like? How is she doing? And why doesn’t she wield an axe? Ered Luin era

When Kili meets Tauriel (? or another OC?) and falls in love during the quest, he tells Tulls he wants to ask her to marry him. And then Tullaina wonders ‘but who am I supposed to marry now?’ because they promised each other when they were teens that if they didn’t find their One they would stick together, maybe even marry each other. And she jokingly says (but secretly also kind of means it) that she’ll forever be alone now. Fili is standing there, he wants to swoop in and say something smooth like ‘you will always have me’ but can’t seem to find his voice. The moment is broken when Bofur says just that, and it becomes one of their ‘almost’ moments.

“Uncle Thorin” moments with Fíli, Kíli and Tullaina

There was really only one other Dwarf who genuinely wanted to court Tullaina, when they're in Erebor. You can imagine how that affected Fili... How is he dealing with this? And Kíli (aka their biggest shipper?)

Fíli runs into Kíli late at night, he’s looking for Tullaina. “Have you seen her? She’s not in her room and I can’t find her anywhere.” They’ve been working all day for the past few weeks. “Do you think she could have left?” “Maybe she finally got enough of being alone, we’ve neglected her” etc etc They look for her in the library, great hall, the stables but can’t find her anywhere. Slight panic, Fíli freaking out, Kíli trying to reassure him. When they’re on their way to alert Thorin and Dís of her disappearance, they find her sleeping with a book in her lap in a nook in one of her secret reading spots.

Once they’re settled in Erebor, married and all, Fíli surprises Tullaina with a grey puppy called Mouse (kind of like a Great Dane but the ME version of it, so... BIG, Fíli hates the name she gave him), as a guard dog for her when he’s out (worried husband y’all). Turns out it’s one big softie and instead of being weary of new people he’s welcoming to everyone. Until one time he doesn’t and everyone is suspicous. Rightfully so.

What If?

Pick a number and (re)write a TH/LOTR scene of your choice with this question in mind, or create a new one (a deleted scene if you want)

1. What if Dís went on the Quest, along with her brother and two sons?

2. What if Ori was the one to fall in love with Tauriel (movie verse)?

3. What if Boromir survived the arrows?

4. What if Hobbits could talk to animals? Like tiny dr Doolittles?

5. What if Gandalf couldn’t keep a secret/can’t lie?

6. What if Smaug was a different kind of animal?

7. What if Víli, father of Kíli and Fíli, was still alive when they leave for the quest?

8. What if Middle Earth was more modern than Tolkien let on?

9. What if Elves can’t tolerate water (maybe it burns them or harms them in some way) ?

10. What if one of the Hobbits is cursed with saying everything the opposite of what they mean? (fe yes means no, I’m sleepy means I don’t want to go to sleep)

11. (your own What If question)

Kili: Why don't humans have a specific noise that means "there are bees here, let's leave immediately." Why are elephants more advanced than us. Tullaina: We do have a specific noise for it. It sounds like this: Tullaina: "There are bees here, let's leave immediately."

Why Haven’t They Kissed Yet?

I know, I know. It can be pulled out a bit, but I wanted to get this done for today.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes. I usually check it as I work, but I literally just finished it.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TULLAINA and @guardianofrivendell

Without further ado...

____________________________________________________________

Thorin Oakenshield was going to die alone... or, at least that's what it looked like. He was committed to finding a way back to Erebor, married to his work. That meant the lineage fell to any nextborn son of Durin....

... which happened to be Fili.

Since the day he could walk, Fili Durin began his training to be the Durin heir. He had to walk the kingly walk. He had to present himself princely. He had to speak royally. Every day, Fili would see other children his age being kids and having fun. And every day, Fili was stuck in prince school.

Ironically enough, he found solitude with his uncle. People would have expected Thorin to be the most strict with his nephew's tutorage, but it was Thorin who was most lenient on him. His mother, on the other hand, lost no opportunity to scold either of them.

Sure, Thorin would role model for him, but he made it fun. Made it something the boy wanted to do, not what he had to. That especially came in weapons training. Fili earned his first blade at a young age. He was adequate at it, of course, but not proficient enough to ease his mother. The first day Thorin had brought over the blade he'd personally made for Fili, Dis had given them an ear full. But while his sister paced around blindly, Thorin whispered to his nephew behind his sister's back and ended up giving the boy the blade anyway. Fili practiced his sword skills any chance he got, and Dis took his sword away any chance she got, which usually meant more time in prince school.

And of course, the next heir to the throne needed a mate to continue the Durin line. Which meant every other dwarf family was busy having second born daughters to present to Fili Durin.

One such family happened to be the Longbeards.

Four years after Fili was born, the Longbeards were blessed with a baby dwarrowdam. They named her Tullaina. She had freckles dotted across her nose, which sat atop a perfect little mouth. Her most definitive feature was a tuft of black red hair, which many lined up to see. Tullaina was a charming young girl growing up, sweet and innocent, but no short of cunning.

Trouble brewed when she was put in the same children's group as the Durin's second born. Always the teacher's pet, Kili was thrown for a loop by the arrival of sweet Ms. Tullaina. Every day of the first week they'd met, they tried to one up the other using charms and every other trick in the book. Kili took to calling her Tulls, and Tullaina took every opportunity to remind him she was older.

Their bonding happened when they were put in detention together. Their warden wasn't a very attentive warden, not that she stood a chance against their allied mischief. From that day on, the two became the best of mates; fine alone, chaos together.

That only lasted until Tullaina was whisked off to prince school. Compared to her first class, Tullaina found this one rather boring. Thankfully, she wasn't alone. While the rest of the class fellows were dying to woo him-they were all dwarrowdams, after all, put there, well, born really, for the one purpose- the object of their affection was dying to run out of the room. Luckily for him, he found a partner who was just as eager to escape.

Their runouts almost always ended up at uncle Thorin's shop. That's where Tullaina learned her weapons. Fili worked with her on knives, while Kili, when he was there, partnered with her in archery. Skilled as she was in weapons, Tulls liked to use her wit more. Once Kili came to know how his best friend and brother had met, he lost no opportunity to tease them about ending up together.

Other times, (sometimes to avoid Kili), they ended up on little adventures together. Exploring Ered Luin together. It happened so often, that aside from addressing Fili as the little king, the town took to calling Tullaina the little queen. Tullaina detested courtlife and fancifulness, but enjoyed the pleasantries that came with. Other dwarrowdams however, didn't give up dressing up and putting on their charm for the little king, given that the 'little queen' was in no way fit for royalty.

When they were young, it became fun between the three, for Fili-and Kili- to give in to the ladies just to mock them. But as they became older, the romances became a bit too grown up. And as much as Tulls liked to disagree, it bothered her when Fili humored other girls.

Luckily-or unluckily- she was the only dwarrowdam to accompany the boys on the quest, given that Thorin was proud of her skill. And the rumors followed. Before they bet on the hobbit, the Company made a bet on when Fili and Tullaina would end up together.

Their tension went so long, even Tauriel-who'd joined their trio after the quest- picked up on it. One afternoon, on a particularly lazy day for all of them, the elf brought it up. They were all sitting under an open gazebo, each doing their own thing, when Tauriel loudly thought to herself.

"Do you ever think of two people and go 'Why haven't they kissed already?'"

"Every day of the past four decades," Kili casually replied.

The following silence intrigued the other two and they looked to each other before turning to look at the other couple, finding Kili and Tauriel staring at them.

"Why are you staring at us?"

"I wonder why," a new, low voice spoke informedly and they turned to find Thorin leaning against a pillar, his arms crossed.

Fili and Tullaina looked at each other and jumped to their feet, brushing down their clothes as they moved away from each other.

"Whaaat?"

"We? Kiss? We're just best friends!"

"Yeah, she's just my best friend!"

"Oh, good!" Thorin patted his thighs as he stood up straight. "Then I could really use Tullaina at court. See, I've found her a good mate who'd be really us-..."

Before Thorin could finish, Fili grabbed Tullaina by the elbow and pulled her back, kissing her as she came on to him. They took a bit too long, and sighed at each other as they pulled away, oblivious to the others around them.

"Sorry," Fili said to no one in particular,

"She's taken."

In Love

Guardianofrivendell Birthday Writing Challenge

Words Count : 667

Incorrect Quote : In Love

Pairing : Fíli x Tullaina

Warning : None

Author's Note : My second fic for @guardianofrivendell 's Birthday! I hope you will like it, friend!

All the members of the Company were sitting in a circle. In its center, a fire crackled quietly like a soft melody accompanying Gloín’s stories of his wife. He spoke about her with the most tender and loving words, making Fíli’s heart flutter a little inside his chest.

In a manner that he hoped to be discreet, he glanced at the beautiful lady that was sitting to his left. Tullaina’s shoulder was pressed against his, her warmth enveloping the prince’s entire body. It was intoxicating, and Fíli thought he would start suffocating at any moment given. And, really, he would love to. Was there a better way to die than in such lovely company?

Fíli’s lips twitched in a small smile and he caught the questioning look his brother shot him from the other side of the fire. Although, he did not pay much attention to it. Actually, he was not paying attention to anything anymore. Even Gloín’s words seemed so far away now, barely audible. All he could focus on was the featherlight touch of Tullaina’s arms.

It was not just her touch, it was all of her. There was her scent, sweet like honey, yet salty from the sweat. And there were the few strands of her soft hair brushing against Fíli’s face whenever the wind decided to blow in his direction. At some point, the crown heir figured that Gloín must have said something funny because Tullaina laughed quietly. It made him feel nauseous in the best way possible.

It was only when Dori, that had been sitting on his right, stood up that Fíli’s attention was brought back to his companions. One by one, they began to walk away from their storyteller, preparing their beds for the night.

Eventually, Tullaina stood up as well, taking her warmth and lovely scent away from him. Fíli sighed quietly and moved to his feet. He watched her as she walked away, picking a spot close to his brother.

As she put her bedroll down, Tuallaina looked in Fíli’s direction and offered him a small smile. The prince’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned away from her.

Tullaina had the most beautiful smile Fíli had been gifted to see. It was worth more than every single bit of gold in this world. She was worth more than all the gold in this world.

Not feeling very motivated, Fíli walked up to where Bofur was sitting, puffing white clouds of smoke. Both of them would be on the first watch that night.

The blond heir flopped down next to him with a loud huff. He glanced at Tullaina again. She was lying with her back to him, her hair falling like a dark cascade down her shoulders onto the ground.

“Ye feelin’ alright, laddie?”

Fíli turned to look at Bofur. The older dwarf was staring at him with a glint of knowledge in his eyes that sent shivers down the prince’s back. Fíli shrugged.

“Aye,” he replied, picking at a string from his breeches. “Was just thinking.”

“ ‘bout a pretty lass?” Bofur asked again, smiling widely at him.

Fíli shot him a glare, hoping to have him stop talking. Of course, it only encouraged him and Bofur nudged his shoulder playfully.

“C’mon laddie,” he said. “We all know yer in love.”

“I am not in love with Tullaina!” Fíli snapped, perhaps a bit too loud because some chatters died down.

The prince did not realize his mistake right away. It is only when Bofur’s smile grew even wider, if it was even possible, that he felt his heart sink. What an idiot.

“No, I meant…” he tried. “I did not… Bofur!”

Bofur burst out laughing and clapped his shoulder. “Never said any name, laddie.”

Around them, some began to laugh as well, making Fíli kick at the ground angrily like a petulant child. He looked at Tullaina who still seemed peacefully asleep. At least, he hoped she was.

Perhaps one day he would tell her...
