Thorin surges forward and begins inspecting the gates but he knows they will not open. They are not designed to. A roar of irritation leaves his throat at this and he presses himself against the gate, pushing. Perhaps this should not be but he must see it – he must see him. He is there and Thorin must touch him once more. He must see bright eyes and he must hear a chiming laugh.

I was commissioned by the talented @vtforpedro to illustrate her fanfic, “it’s been a long day without you, my friend”! 

It’s such a moving fic, please click here to read it!!

Summary:

In which Thorin lives his life, wishes for more, and learns that wishes sometimes come true.

A fair warning: this one will break your heart. (But give me a minute, because that’s not the end-all of it.) It will break it with a grand blow and small, slow increments of pain, delivered through excellent characterization, achingly poignant description and top-notch dialogue.

And those very same tools will tinker your heart right back together. Eventually. I’m not going to lie: by the end of the story I was grinning like something that should be locked up for their own good, and went on doing so for a long while after.

This is the story equivalent of really good chocolate: just the right blend of bitter and sweet. Enjoy!
