Kili and Tauriel and what might have happened after the credits. Now a multi-chapter story covering the time from Kili being healed to Smaug attacking Lake-Town. T for some dwarf-swearing.

Post-Desolation of Smaug film. Kili awakens in the morning to find his arrow wound on its way to recovery and his brother Fili angry for his recklessness. And once he realizes the She-Elf Tauriel is still in his company he can't resist but to try to convince her to deny the conventions of their respective kinds and stay with him...permanently.
