Title: a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
Fandom: Hobbit movieverse
Disclaimer: not my characters; title from Maya Angelou
Warnings: modern-day AU; mentions of torture/kidnapping; victim blaming by the victim; suicidal ideation; in my head, both Fili&Kili have been sexually assaulted -- Kili way in the past, Fili during the story, though off-screen. None of it is directly stated or shown, but the implications are there
Pairings: pre-Tauriel/Kili
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 2150
Point of view: third
Prompt: The Hobbit (Film), Tauriel/Killi, Avengers AU (Kudos if they are like Clint/Natasha)
“I’ve a puppy following me,” Tauriel tells Legolas over the phone. Sindarin means no tap works because only a handful of people in the world know the language. She and Legolas made sure of that.
“How long until you put him out of his misery?” Legolas asks.
