The Hobbit Prompt #3: If Dáin Wasn't King

What if Kili, or Fili, or both, survived the Battle of the Five Armies? What would've happened if one of them became King-Under-The-Mountain rather than Dáin II Ironfoot?

Does Fili survive and become King? Does Kili? Or do both survive and Fili becomes King while Kili is his heir? Or do they both get to rule as King?

Writing from the POV of either Fili or Kili (or both if you choose for both of them to survive), write about what happens after the Battle of the Five Armies, and the events and actions they took and the thoughts they had as they bring Erebor to its former glory!

This prompt can be used for both the book or the movie -- or both, if you so wish.

Long live the King-Under-The-Mountain!

Author's Note: Mae govannen, mellyn! Here's another Hobbit prompt for you. I've always wondered what would've happened had one or both of Thorin's nephews survived the Battle of the Five Armies and replaced Thorin as King, instead of Dáin. So this prompt came into being. I hope you enjoy this.

I'm going to be posting two prompts -- maaaaybe three -- to celebrate "LOTR Writing Prompts" getting 100 Views and being #46 (now #59) in writing prompts as of yesterday! I'm so excited! Thank you everyone for your loving support and enthusiasm for these prompts! Let's see if we can't get this work HIGHER in ranking! XD

The fanart is made by Seraphim Crystal, if you're wondering.

See you soon.
