An Unlikely Cure by Ach-Sss-No (ItsTheBlob), ItsTheBlob
Fandom The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
20 Oct 2025
Summary
A what-if "Everyone Lives" LOTR AU. By "everyone", I mean "everyone", and by "everyone", I mean this series is focused around Gollum in an unlikely universe where he manages to help destroy the Ring without dying and, subsequently, becomes everyone else's problem, but in a very different way than he was a problem before. I read Gandalf's line "I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it" in FOTR, and started to wonder what on Earth you'd do with a friendly version of Gollum, assuming his extreme eccentricities and special requirements for darkness and raw meat would not just go away. I couldn't find much other fic about this question so I wrote this, and I grew to enjoy Sméagol's odd psychology in the process so I kept going for longer than I'd intended. I do hope you enjoy!
Boromir and Bilbo are here too! Now featuring also Gríma Wormtongue (in a oneshot)!
Please note that this is all book-based, not movie-based, and these stories lean heavily on book events that either weren't in the movies at all or were very different.

Summary
Mido said, "Do things change in the world outside?"
His fairy sparkled with laughter. "In the world, yes. But fairies don't change, and Kokiri don't. We're not made to. We don't have to. Isn't it wonderful?"
