This story made me cry more than once, and it made me smile and laugh more than once. And I never forgot about it, even after waiting almost 4 years between the main body of the story and the end. It's amazing, with a great plot, wonderful worldbuilding, and amazing characters.

Summary:
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

It's amazing, with a great plot, wonderful worldbuilding, and amazing characters.
I'm going of to re-read this story. Again.
