Steampunk humans visit valinor

(Some humans in steampunk style. I hope you like it and sorry for taking my time with this. Things are sometimes better when cooked slow, and excuse the bad tittle. I couldn't come up with anything better)

Requested by anonymous

Warnings; mentions of a rough life, nothing else really, Feanor is a headache.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm gonna assume the human woke much earlier and had been surviving on their own in the darkened lands of middle earth.

They struggled a lot because there wasn't a lot of light, and the monsters would often snatch them into the darkness. They managed to survive and learn some skills from some elves who took pity on them.

I know you mentioned that they disliked the valars, but I can't help but imagine that Ulmo took notice of their arrival and helped them get through the struggle. He would give them a safe place and taught some skills to live beside the sea, and because of that, he would be the only liked valar among the humans.

When the humans managed to build a safe home, they started developing gadgets from metal and discovered further usage of water and fire. They then found technology and managed to better their lives without anyone's help.

They built better homes, great walls for protection, inventions for farming, and even went far to make the first airship. Water, coal, and oil were their most prized resources. And after discovering gunpowder. Humans managed to develop a gun, a great weapon against the orcs and other creatures of the night.

Humans knew there were other valars like Ulmo, but since they left them and everyone else on middle earth to survive on their own. The humans disliked them and didn't regard them as their rulers. They harbored the precious light and favored the elves. They did nothing to help the humans during their darkest time, so humans didn't see a point to have them in high regard.

Humans had some trifles with the avari and the people of Thingol since the valars favored elves the most but over time and discovering they were in the same situation, they overcame their conflict and became loyal neighbors. They even shared some of their technology with them.

Humans lived peacefully for years, but ever since Sauron took notice of their existence. Orcs and all kinds of monsters have relentlessly harassed them and their homes. Sauron tried to persuade them once to be on the same side, but humans didn't trust him since he was from the same race as the valars, thus the reason for the conflict.

They managed to repel Sauron and his creatures, but another severe problem came to their doors. Since humans lived in darkness, there wasn't enough light to raise crops and food. They managed to grow their crops thanks to the gems of starlight they received from the elves. They worked as artificial light, but there weren't enough gems anymore, so that caused a severe problem. Fishing was one of their lifestyles, but their fish stock was low because there wasn't enough fish in the sea anymore. Hunting was also an option, but the elves prohibited hunting more than agreed on, or they might risk overhunting.

The humans managed since they traded food with the elves, but if the crisis continued. The elves would face the same problem.

A terrible famine was coming, and one way to solve it was to have some light from the trees of Valinor. If the valars shared the tree's light with middle earth, it could solve their current food crisis and have Sauron's creatures back off.

Since the humans respected Ulmo, they asked him to persuade his brethren to share some of the tree light.

Ulmo heard their pleas and delivered the news. The other valars knew about the humans, but they didn't think they needed to interfere since the humans had managed for a long time on their own. They said they couldn't do it for some reason, but Ulmo found that unreasonable since it was their duty to care for all of the children of Eru. They promised they work on some alternative for the secondborns, but time passed, and they still had done nothing.

The pleading continued, but after several failed attempts to gain the Valar's attention. The humans decided it was enough and time to travel to Valinor for a serious meeting. If they didn't lend their ears through Ulmo, humans have to come themselves to have them listen.

Ulmo couldn't convince them to stay, so he at least told his brethren that the secondborns were coming for an audience. They didn't believe him at first until the humans finally arrived.

---------------------------

-A mysterious ship flew through the sky, gaining everyone's attention on the ground. The elves of Valinor were frightened by the giant construction and watched as it flew above them.

-The giant ship flew near one of the mountain tops, then people inside threw ropes and anchored the airship to the mountain.

-Some of the elves went to investigate, and when they got there. A hatch opened, and a ramp fell on the ground, allowing the strange people to walk out.

-The human diplomats and leaders greeted the elves and asked to be taken to meet the valars.

-Humans have arrived.

-The valars and the elves were shooked by the giant construction the humans called an airship. The valars paled a little when the humans demanded an audience to deal with the problems of middle earth.

-Ulmo knew about their coming, so he was the least surprised.

-The valars had no choice but to hear the humans out since they came all this way. They couldn't throw them out since they didn't cause any trouble, except a minor fright with their arrival.

-The diplomats were more than respectful and subtle with the valars, so the meeting was tense.

-The elves were fascinated by the airship, and many went to greet the people on the ship. They were excited to meet the rumored humans.

-The crew members were friendly, and the visitors from middle earth wanted to do some business with the locals.

-They shared treasures and currency, and the crew members bought coal and retrieved water to refuel the ship. The other visitors wanted to buy crops and a lot of food they could deliver to middle earth to deal with the famine. So, several owners made a killing that day.

-Many inventors like Feanor were curious about the airship, so they went to see it. Feanor was frightened by the aircraft when it arrived, but when the humans assured they weren't a threat. He wanted to get inside and know its construction.

-You were the captain of the ship and leisured on the main deck. You watched the Valinor from the windows. You would have loved to go sightseeing, but you couldn't leave your position, so you satisfied yourself watching from your ship.

-You did have one of your excited crew members go out and take some pictures with a camera.

-One of your crew members asked for permission to give a couple of elves a tour of your ship. You allowed it, thinking it wasn't harmful.

-You did give them a rule, do not touch anything.

-Well, that was five minutes ago. One of your crew members came back in panic, telling the elf called Feanor was touching everything.

-You were protective of your dear ship, so you joined the tour to remind the elf lord to keep his hands to himself.

-Feanor might be a prince, but since you were the owner of the ship and not one of his people, you had the right to throw him out if he caused problems or damage.

-He obliged, but he was less than pleasing company as you showed him around your ship.

-He had good ideas on how to improve the ship's mechanics but considered most of it poorly designed.

-He was pretty much getting on everyone's nerves, especially your head mechanics.

-Feanor then got curious about your gun which was strapped against your waist and stole it a couple of times for an inspection.

-You had to unload it in panic before he accidentally shot himself.

-You had enough when his son, the little copy of him, almost tampered with a system that would have caused a severe explosion.

-You ended the tour since they had seen everything and made them walk out of your ship.

-You were polite toward strangers, but when it came to your ship. That's when you cross the line.

-You ordered your crew not to let any inventors inside. Ordinary people were okay, but not the inventors.

-If Feanor came back, he was to be shooed away with a broom.

-Unfortunately, even with your warnings, some inventors were stubborn and tried to get inside and scramble everything.

-You had a headache, so you hugged your cat for therapy.

-Luckily, your head mechanic knew how to relieve your headache and showed some love to motivate you to get through the day. He was your fiancee, so there was nothing weird about it.

-Some locals gave you two weird looks since your fiancee was an elf. They questioned you a lot because humans were mortals and elves immortal. They shouldn't be together. Well, jokes on them, your brother is marrying an elven princess in the next summer of twilight.

-In the town, Galadriel's attention was caught by a young refined-looking elven lord dressed in silver, who came to visit some relatives.

-Lord Celeborn, a representative of Thingol and his people in middle earth.

-When they saw each other, it was love at first sight, and Celeborn became clumsy, which got teased by the humans.

-Melkor, who was released from Mandos and allowed to walk upon Valinor, was surprised but interested by the humans and their technology.

-He had an idea to influence them to his side, but surprisingly, the pride of humans was almost bigger than Feanor's.

-They knew him well and his wretched subordinate Sauron, so they hated him on the spot.

-Sauron had managed to replicate some of their technology and weaponize his orcs which humans considered a great insult to their successions. Sauron was nothing but a wretched copycat.

-The diplomats wanted nothing to do with him, and you didn't allow him inside your ship since he creeped your people out, so he didn't get through with humans.

-It would frustrate him since you arrived when he planned to destroy the trees and steal the silmarils, and it didn't look like you were going to leave any time soon.

-Melkor was stuck postponing his plans, valars were stuck with angry humans who refused to leave until the valars gave in to their demands, and you were stuck with a pretty stubborn elf trying to dismantle your ship.

TROP Fanfic Prompt

Sauron repents and becomes an ~Istar~

After watching the entire series and reading all the theories, headcanons and AUs my Plot Bunny got overexcited and wouldn’t leave me alone untill I shared this with others.

With this in mind, this prompt is completely up for adoption and fanwork, just tag me, please.

Summary:

Au in which Mairon got on that raft, and he did so trying to get to Valinor and repent for his sins as Sauron and he made it.

(Expands from that moment to the end of the LOTR)

Once in Valinor, he gets judged and the Valar decide that his punishment shall be what he always wanted: The healing of ME. He’ll join the Istari in the aid of the peoples of Middle Earth, so they may recover from the horrors Morgoth and him caused.

Still, the Valar they aren't stupid, he can't be allowed to be the most powerful being in ME and go around showing off and Maiar-handling people into doing stuff like he did as Sauron. So his Istar Terms and Conditions are a bit more strict than most.

Instead of just being forbidden of expressing his powers like the other Istari in the order the Valar decide to separate his Maiar powers from his “fëa” (I know Aïnur don’t really work like this, but if Tolkien said he could bind his power to the One Ring to the point of being formless without it, I say the Valar con do something similar).

His fëa gets bound to a mortal form (Halbrand’s) which will be prone to all weaknesses known to mortals, except aging. (None of the Valar want to be responsible for reincarnating the fucker every 50 years). He still can die from wounds, but it would only mean he would get thrown back to Valinor for the Valar to reincarnate. (And no fucking way is Mairon, as either Sauron or Halbrand, going to give them that satisfaction)

His Aïnur powers get casted into a ring. Which is then given to Curumo/ Saruman for safe-keeping. (See where I am going with this?).

At first it all goes well, the six Istari get thrown to ME and things go great, it’s grueling work, specially for Mairon, who still has a few bad habits he has to break from (bad habits = being a fascist industrialist cunt), but with some nudges and punches he starts getting the right idea about how thinks must work like in ME. One of his first tries to do good leads him to Eregion where he finds about the elves plight and he decides to help them taking a page from Aüle’s book about how rings can contain power and certainly they can also amplify it? (Yes, this can be when he meets Galadriel, who tries to bash his head in with an anvil, road runner style, but gets stopped by both Elrond and Gandalf)

But then, lo and behold someone goes dark AND IT’S NOT HIM.

Turns out giving a ring with extra power to Saruman just before sending him to get a look at the chaos that is ME was not a great idea, cause as an absurd amount of Aüle’s apprentices, he has a weaknesses for authoritarianism and an unhealthy fascination for Melkor’s “Mein Kampf”. And he’s decided to use the ring as a means for amplifying his powers and take his spot in the Book of Dark Overlords.

From here on the story goes on much like we know it to go, but instead of Sauron being the Lord of the Ring, the title goes to Saruman, who can get some new uncool nickname that referes to his innability to make a single wise choice, and Sauron taking up a role as a proto-Dunedaïn, that gets voluntered to partake in all of Gandalf’s shite-schemes and then some, in his quest for peace and healing not just ME, but himself from Melkor’s wounds.

To Varda, Ilúvatar said: 'I will give unto thee a parting gift. Thou shalt take into Eä a light that is holy, coming new from Me, unsullied by the thought and lust of Melkor, and with thee it shall enter into Eä, and be in Eä, but not of Eä.'

Here’s the thing.

Many Bagginshield shippers, especially in fics, focus on how Bilbo never got over Thorin, to the point where some describe Bilbo’s life as sad and unfulfilled because of that loss.

Don’t get me wrong: I do agree that he suffered terrible loss and undeserved torment by the Ring. And the fact that he never marries probably does have some connection to the memory of Thorin.

But, y’all, don’t forget or ignore the fact that, in Tolkien’s text, Bilbo does move on from grief and live the rest of his life well.

He does not become bitter from his pain. He retains his kind heart.

He is generous with his wealth, helping in every way he can the very community that ostracizes him.

He sees in Frodo a kindred spirit and takes it upon himself to be the parental figure that Frodo so badly needs as an orphan.

He and Frodo develop an uncle-nephew (really more like father-son) relationship built on trust, keeping no secrets from each other, to the level where he tells Frodo the truth about his encounter with Gollum. (And probably the truth about his feelings for Thorin, too.)

He and Frodo have so much fun, going for walks every day, studying the Elvish languages, and throwing big birthday parties to show the community a good time. It’s plain to see that caring for Frodo filled that massive void inside Bilbo, finally giving him someone to love and devote himself to looking after, after his first chance at that (albeit the first being a different kind of love) was taken from him.

He does not see himself as superior to the lower class despite his riches, and always treats the Gamgees with the utmost respect.

He teaches Sam to read and write.

He tells his story to the younger hobbits, inspiring more of them to want to learn more about the outside world and not be so sheltered and ignorant…an effort which ultimately saves Middle-earth because the Travelers learn from him to be curious and interested in the lands outside the Shire, and he inspires them daily, as they constantly say to themselves “if Bilbo could go there and back again and face great danger, so can we.”

He even learns to love having a tarnished reputation, ultimately taking advantage of being “mad” to play a fun prank.

When he is no longer at rest in the Shire, he gifts Frodo all his property which will ensure Frodo is set for life, and through all his passive aggressive gifts to his relatives, he gives the Gaffer genuinely useful items that he knows will help him, including ointment for creaky joints.

He gets a peaceful retirement among his Elven friends, which he spends writing his memoir so that future generations will know all about his lost friends.

And ultimately, he embraces the special gift of an exception from the Valar and rare permission to set foot in the Blessed Realm for one last adventure, where he will continue to look after his beloved nephew.

And the fact is, he never would’ve gotten any of these things if he’d stayed in Erebor. He would never have developed that special bond with Frodo - he may never have even met him - and consequently, Frodo may never have met Sam.

Yes, a lot of his life was lonely and somber. But much more of it, even after experiencing such a tragedy, was full of love and joy and fun and excitement. He became an invaluable caretaker and mentor to the next generation of hobbits, got a taste of fatherhood, passed on his expertise and his story, and spent his last years surrounded by friends and family.

Bilbo Baggins may have lost the love of his life, but he did not give up on life itself, and he lived a full one. Don’t forget that.

Steampunk humans; magical edition

Hey, this is like a separate part where the steampunk humans have some magical companions. I really wanted to make this part, so here’s like a different edition.

I know you said the humans survived on their own without magic, but I got a couple of ideas when making the first one.

-------------------------------------------------------------

-Imagine humans taking in lowly spirits who got forgotten in the darkness of middle earth. They call them sprites, and they help with powering up engines and other devices.

-Imagine the humans developing a language to communicate with the sprites. It could be similar to elvish and the language of the valars.

-As a captain of an airship, you have several fire sprites living in your vessel. They took care of the engines and made sure it was warm inside.

-My original thought about why you didn't allow Melkor to enter your airship was because his presence made the spirits anxious and fearful. That way, you knew he was bad news.

-They also panicked when Feanor almost dismantled every piece of machinery.

-I had an idea that the humans have service animals, thus why you had a cat, but then I imagined service dragons.

-Imagine humans during their darkest time, discovering tiny dragons, which Melkor threw away, considering them failures. Humans adopted these little creatures, and they became part of human society.

-There were bird-sized dragons, which most kept as pets. Some dragons are bigger than big cats, and they work as service animals for those with special needs, and then there are dragons, bigger than horses, who help with construction and delivering mail.

-I can bet the valars felt uncomfortable if the humans arrived with their dragon companions.

-One diplomat had a bird-looking dragon as a pet, and there was one kid with a horse-sized service dragon.

-The humans would be protective of their dragon companions if the valars made crude remarks about them. The dragons were their most valued friends and harmless, so there was no need to ridicule them.

-I think Melkor would feel happy about it. It was a shock his failures managed to become something more, but the thought his creations are living peacefully with the secondborns without any conflict made him feel smug about it since his brethren rejected his dragons.

-He would enjoy watching the other valars watching his supposed corrupted beings wander among Valinor, and they couldn't do anything about them since the humans valued them. They already had a bad reputation, so they couldn't risk angering the secondborns.

-Well, that's pretty much it. I hope you enjoyed reading it!
