For the anon who requested ”fic recs”. Here’s a list of my favorite Kíliel fanfics (with some Tauriel centric, Legriel and even Thrandiel additions). I’ll place my absolute favorites at the top and the rest, randomly, behind the cut.
The Heir Apparent by chasingperfectiontomorrow
Tauriel saves Kili’s life during the Battle of the Five Armies and alters the course of history, forever. (Highlights the years between The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy).

Reckless by chasingperfectiontomorrow
What would happen if Smaug had never taken Erebor and Kili had grown up a Prince while Tauriel was still the Captain of the Royal Guard? How would events unfold if they met and were attracted to one another?

A Lover of the Light by CircusBones
A possible adventure, between a posturing youngster Dwarf and a sheltered Elf Captain.

Chasing Sunlight (deleted scene - to be read after chapter 13)
Though far Away by CircusBones (unfinished but AMAZING)
By popular demand, an alternate outcome to A Lover of The Light. The sons of Dis survive, though Thorin Oakenshield has fallen. Fili is a King who feels he’s far too young, Kili can’t get over a very inconvenient attraction, and Balin would appreciate a day off.

Should there be Starlight by PrincessQuill
Tauriel sacrifices her life in Mirkwood and her position as captain of the guard to act on her convictions. With Legolas’s help, she pursues the orcs hunting the dwarves to Laketown, where the Elves rescue Kili and the others. This Kiliel-ish fic offers a possible progression of events beyond DoS, with multiple POVs and a synthesis of movie and bookverse. It will go through to BoFA.

To turn the Tide of Heaven by littlebigspoon
(Based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice) Kili dies in the Battle of the Five Armies. Tauriel refuses to let it end there.
