+if i had a boat

don't repost on any other website. reblog on tumblr from the source.

imagine: as he dies, kili promises tauriel that he'll build a boat and sail to the undying lands from aulë's halls so they can be together again. he keeps his promise (with fili along to keep him out of too much trouble). the valar set a series of trials and tribulations for them to overcome along their journey across the sea, half annoyed that these upstart punks are breaking all of the afterlife rules, and half amused by how gutsy and stubborn they are.

i still wish i'd thought of tauriel doing to sailing off to find kili herself, but it didn't occur to me until halfway through drawing this. :[ shame.
