Tolkien started rewriting the Hobbit in the style of LotR, but what I really want is the Silmarillion in the style of the Hobbit. 

In a hole in the fabric of the universe there lived a god. 

Now, this was not one of those minor gods of bedtime stories or petty wars for heaven; this was the One God, all-loving and all-knowing, who created the world – only he hadn’t created the world just yet, which is why he was sitting in a hole in the fabric of the universe.

and it is glorious

Things that the more irrepressible (probably Sindarin) elves of Rivendell have dared each other into asking Bilbo to do, #3785.

Elrond had to contain his horrified face.

Gandalf, on the other hand, went out on the balcony, shut the door, and had the best laugh he’s had this Age. He promptly copied it to take home and share with Lorien, Tulkas, Estë and Varda, because they’d all get a kick out of it.

(Manwë would pretend he didn’t and pretend to be Disappointed as Varda’s whoops of laughter accidentally create three more constellations, but she’s always felt he takes himself too seriously anyway.) (Also inside he’s a goey marshmallow.)
