Hey guys! So this obviously is not a chapter. Before I actually posted one, I just wanted to sort of explain who each Avengers character is regarding their LOTR counterpart. Seeing how my story is going to be quite different, it may be harder to figure out some. Plus they're kinda funny, too.

I may end up changing some of these as the characters get closer to their appearances (I won't switch them around or anything once they're already in the story because that wouldn't make sense).

In order of appearance:

Laufey - Bilbo (because he and Loki are related.)

Loki - Frodo (bitch say what?)

Odin - Sauron (BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA~ I'm sorry, but I don't like Odin. Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor and all, but I just don't like Odin's character.)

Fenrir and the Norns are just thrown in there for fun.

Tony - Sam

Phil - Gandalf (they're both babysitters with a dry sense of humor and yeah seems legit)

Darcy - Pippin

- Can you just imagine these two as drinking buddies?

Clint - Merry

Thor - Aragorn (you should've seen that one coming)

Tyr - Nazgul/Witch King

Obidiah - Saruman (because he's a lying douchenozzle and I like Jeff Bridges leave me alone.)

Sif - Arwen (Because Sif is Thor's wife. And because she's immortal and Jane's not it's totally legit y'all.)

Heimdall - Elrond (he's the over-protective brother. And because if he tried to ride a horse he would kill it)

Steeebe - Boromir (Here's an example of me changing my mind. Okay, so I originally had Natasha because I wanted more than one female in the "Fellowship" besides Darcy, but Steve's shield made me do it; and it won't be all patriotic or anything that's just dumb.)

Hogun - Legolas

Volstagg - Gimli (they're practically cousins, come on)

Balder - Sméagol (because I say so. And I changed my mind, he is gonna be batshit cray cray.)

Surtr - Balrog of Morgoth (What did you say?)

Nick - Haldir (because he's all sassy when they go to Lothlórien and yeah)

Frejya - Galadriel (Another example of me changing my mind. I originally had Fury here, because reasons that would've made sense when he showed up, but now I want it to be Freyja because of mythology stuff and it's just legit okay.)

Freyr - Celeborn

Fandral - Eomer (that way Thor and the Warriors Three can eventually team up yeah? Yeah okay...)

Jane - Eowyn (Because she gets rejected or whatevs. And she's human and Sif's not. Okay? Okay.)

Erik S. - Théoden (because he raised her and stuff?)

Hulk - Treebeard (seriously though, can you just imagine him Hulking out and beating the shit out of a bunch of Asgardian soldiers for stepping on a flower?)

Natasha - Faramir (Originally Steve, but I guess her spyness and ability to choke people with her thighs makes more sense. And Steve's shield made me do it.)

Jörmungandr - Shelob (I hate spiders, man. Snakes...I can somewhat tolerate.)

Dead Jotun guys - Army of the Dead (the green glowy dudes from ROTK; you know, those guys)

I don't know who should be Grima (creepy fucker). Any ideas? And I don't know if/how I'm going to have Denethor in there because his treatment of Faramir just breaks my heart and I always cry during Return of the King when Faramir comes back from Osgiliath and he says he wished he had died instead of Boromir. Plus, I can't imagine how that would work with Natasha. She'd fucking uppercut that mofo.

And just like how the movies/books are divided into a trilogy, this will be divided into 3 parts, so not all of the characters will show up immediately. This is part 1 obviously.
