Oof, that’s tougher than it looks, because half the coolest fictional worlds would kill you in the first five minutes.

If I had to pick? Middle-earth, after the War of the Ring. Not the big hero stuff — I’d skip all the sword-swinging nonsense. I’d head straight for the Shire, find a quiet hill, breathe that ridiculously green air, and let my nervous system exhale for the first time in years. Then I’d wander down to a hobbit pub, order something I can’t pronounce, and listen to locals argue about crops like it’s the most important thing in the universe.

But I’d also want one afternoon in Rivendell. I imagine it feeling ancient and gentle in a way humans never quite manage, that hush that’s not silence, just… peace.(less)
