dwavern holidays: discuss

bro loving the freedom and creativity this brings me

okay so dwarves all have their maker, Mahal, whose Aule right? im not fact checking right now so correct me if im wrong, but dwarves don't really treat their maker with a typical religious pursuit, its more like "oh yeah he's there he exists we go to him when we die ig" and thats that, theres no priests or religious rites or anything, so i assume their holidays aren't centered around him either.

also dwarves live a much longer time than humans do, so im also gonna assume that their bigger holidays aren't annual either. like maybe they're every 3 years or every 5 or 10 years, or they're in accordance with celestial shit. but the thing that gets me about celestial holidays is that dwarves are creatures that roam below the earth, the caverns and caves are their home, not the stars and the heavens, so holidays that come around every few years or so make more sense.

this brings the question of what exactly would dwarves celebrate then? we know canonically they have Durin's Day, an annual holiday that signals the start of the new year, however, i feel like besides new years, their holidays would be in accordance with the things dwarves value most. This includes smithing, crafting, mining, the riches of the earth, feats of strength, and value of close friends/family, greater than any treasure. Some dwarven holiday ideas i have are listed, with hc's around each of them.

Durin's Day- the dwarves new year. Not a huge holiday, but a nice short one, like one night of festivities. I feel that most celebrations would be more family/small group centered with this holiday, maybe a small feast and some form of dancing and music. This holiday is mostly focused on the improvements in development from one year into the next, and just a last way to celebrate before going into the depths of winter. The New Years was proclaimed by Durin the I, and has since been named in his honor.

The Fire Festival- this has been stewing in my mind for a while now. every 5 years, for two whole weeks, a huge display of dwarven craftsmanship and skill is celebrated and admired, with dwarves of all different crafts in relation to fire presenting stalls of their best works. We're talking smithies, glassblowers, candlemakers, you name it. Its a celebration of the fire that produces such great works of beauty. and the outfits... bro the outfits make this festival. everyone is decked out in reds, oranges, blacks, blues, and yellows, and positively dripping with gold and gems. the make up is usually charcoal or some sort of bright/shimmery pigment, and the hair is done in so many braids weaved with different ribbons and precious metals. fires are constantly lit, with one giant fire pit kept burning continuously throughout the entire festival, and fireworks are set off on the first and last days (we know dwarves can make fireworks from balin in the hobbit). the food is superb, with a lot of spicy main menu items and citrus and bold sweet fruits imported, and the dishes are prepared almost artfully. music and dancing play a huge part, and some dancers spend years leading up to the festival to try to capture the movements of the flame in their steps. its a bit like coachella except much much better.

Meragel (or feast of all feasts)- this whole holiday would probably occur every 25 years or so. It is, as the name implies, a feast to rival the gods. Like this is a week of feasting the whole community takes part in, and everyone eats at least the first meal together in a great hall or a large open space. A large array of meats, ales, wines, whiskey, breads, sweets, grains, root vegetables, spices, fruits, and cheeses are brought to the many many tables, and every group brings a dish (or several). This feast i feel, is explicitly a time for family and friends who love each other dearly to meet up and talk of their lives. people will travel many miles for an opportunity to connect with their loved ones again, and what better way to bond than over a delicious meal? side games and music are to be expected, though whether or not people will be able to dance depends on their ability to hold their liquor.

Rites of Strength- physical prowess and power are very important in dwarven culture, and this whole holiday is an event specifically for that. typical dwarven sports games (i wholeheartedly believe they'd have some version of rugby but as a rugby player im biased), lifting, wrestling, sparring, some form of rock/discus throwing, any shows of skill involving weaponry, and most importantly, a display for younger dwarves to prove their worth going into adulthood. I'm thinking this holiday would be around every 10 years, since that's a good window for older teens and young adults to be showing off their skills. One huge challenge is set up, with all the younglings competing against one another over the course of a moon cycle to become a champion (a new challenge is presented twice a week, and over the course of these challenges the number of competitors decreases based on skill alone, until there is one remaining). The prize for the youngling in the end is Honor and a Hefty purse of gold. Dwarves will travel to the nearest village/city of the head of one of the 7 dwarf families for the competitions, and while the challenges are ongoing it gives the adults and wee pebbles opportunities to have good rough fun with one another. also hc'ing that dís was the champion during her tournament.

Exhibition of the Sciences and Arts- dwarves have a deep love of creation and making sense of things, and science and art are so deeply intertwined that dwarves have a celebration for the two of them together. haven't thought about the time for this one, but possibly every 3 years? not sure. anyways, architecture plays a huge part in this festival (its probs the most perfect combination of the two fields, and we all know how dwarves love their geometric halls), as well as practices of logical medicine (throwing this in there but im thinking dwarves have logical medicine that they know for fool-proof physical healing and illogical medicine that is like groovy witch-craft reading signs and superstitious stuff), carving art, mathematics, acting, singing, writing, and so on so forth. its a knowledge share and a place where intellectuals feel most at home, and isn't so much a party as it is a nerd expo. super fascinating and interesting though, and a great place to find talented scientists and artists for commissions and job opportunities.

The Craft Trade- a huge market that comes along every two years where crafters display their wares for about 2-3 weeks, during the summer solstice. i feel like this would be a huge display for potters, weavers, quilters (i hc that quilters are widely respected in dwarven culture), textile merchants, tailors, cobblers, jewelry makers, spice traders, bakers, ect. its a mesmerizing and amazing place, perfect to trade and buy gifts. It's also considered good etiquette to bring food to the sellers, as dwarves are notoriously protective of their works, and they don't wish to risk leaving their stalls for too long during the day. a lot of pop up entertainment is around, from buskers to party tricks and games.

On Weddings, Birthdays, and More- Weddings are kind of a huge deal in dwarf culture, bcs you only marry if you find your One. there can be years of preparation going into a wedding, and while the actual ceremony and creation of the marriage contract (canonically, dwarves are obsessed with contracts) lasts only a day, the feast, even without the couple present, will last for a week at least. the families/friends of both parties are present and taking their well deserved break from preparations. On birthdays, the day of birth is most joyously celebrated. trusted friends and family are invited to celebrate the successful birth of another dwarf (its a long and rare process for dwarves to be born, celebration is almost a necessity) and the gifts presented to the child are spectacular, as well as the feast in the child's honor. Full birthday parties are held maybe every 30 or 50 years, and probably the largest party will be a dwarf's 100 and 200 year party. annually, not a whole lot of special emphasis is placed upon a birthday, maybe a favorite meal and small gifts given by your closest companions. afterall, when your lifespan is nearly 300 years, annual birthdays grow tiring.

welp my wrists are tired and im slouching like a shrimp, but i had so much fun writing this!!!

How do you or would you headcannon Bilbo and Thorin accidentally proposing or getting engaged and how would they proceed when they find out or the other accepts the proposal?

Oh wow thanks for the question, since I have been a bit absent in the Bagginshield ship it took me a while to think it through.

But the accidental proposing of course would be some cultural misconception as in hobbittish culture one thing would mean proposing in dwarwish that thing would be a trivial or thing of no consequence and in reverse.

"Plant your trees(here), watch them grow."

I think if Thorin said it to Bilbo as a an invitation to stay in Erebor. And like would give him a seed box or better a treasure box full of acorns (to go with the oaken symbolism here). It might be understood by Bilbo like a proposal.

Meannwhile on the reverse maybe Bilbo giving a comb or hair accessories he made himself, like wooden ones. Maybe in dwarwish culture you need to do them yourself, you chose your ore etc to match your future spouse and you engrave them with your family name/symbol. And so Bilbo made a comb and some beads for Thorin unbeknowst to him that this is actually what would occure if he was to propose to a dwarf.

These might be just some parts of courting ritual and not like one symbolic gesture.

And to the second part of question about consequences. Of course misunderstanding ensues after those events. Bilbo is all flustered and wide eyed. And asking Thorin if he's sure. And Thorin saying that of course, that even though he knows nothing of plants he knows they are needed in Erebor too.

And because the official "planting" is like whole wedding event. Bilbo prepares and goes asking Balin and Bofur how the ceremonies should be prepared and they are baffled at first what does he mean and that's how they are first to know what happened. And try to explain it to Thorin. When Thorin finds out he is mortified at first but then realizes that yes of course he wants to marry Bilbo. And they don't reveal to him he didn't know but since then Thorin starts asking more about hobbitish traditions especially regarding courting and couples.

In other way if it was Bilbo who proposed. Thorin would be blushing and grunting and be bashful all of sudden. And would just storm away being very very happy inside. Probably not even realising how he reacted to poor Bilbo. And Bilbo would be going around confused. Meanwhile Thorin would start to prepare for the wedding and making proposal gifts on his own. While avoiding Bilbo, cause that is the dwarven tradition or something. And of course he would also find out from someone else what has happened. And he would seclude himself to think things through cause he wasn't planning on proposing but yes he loves Thorin and he is not sure about Thorin's feelings so he hopes he didn't force dwarven king into marriage with him. And so he sneaks into Thorin chambers to talk to him simply. And well they clear out confusion. And maybe Bilbo stays the night even though it's sort of against dwarven courting traditions but Thorin doesn't care, he is the king after all and no one will know if Bilbo slips out in the morning. And of course because Kili wanted to play a prank on his uncle and had no idea Bilbo is in his chambers he finds out first. And then babbles everything out by accident later.

How do you or would you headcannon Bilbo and Thorin accidentally proposing or getting engaged and how would they proceed when they find out or the other accepts the proposal?

I'm so sorry for not noticing this ask sooner, but thank you! I rarely check this blog since I mostly stay on my main blog. And tbh it's been sooo long since I've been invested the fandom, so I'm not sure this answer will be the best thing I've come up with. I'm gonna need a refresher on Hobbit/LotR lore after this 😅

Well, to me, an accidental bagginshield proposal would occur one of two ways:

1) let's say that in dwarven culture (headcanon), giving your intended a great gift like a family heirloom or something personalized, would be a form of proposal.

Thorin giving Bilbo the mithril mail could have been his proposal, and while the other dwarves and Gandalf understand the meaning, Bilbo doesn't and no one tells him bc to everyone it just seems obvious. Everyone starts treating him with the same regard that they do with Thorin, their leader, and Bilbo notices the change in demeanor and asks either Bofur, Balin, or even Gandalf about it and they're like "Mr. Baggins, didn't you know? Thorin proposed to you, you are his consort! Congrats on being the only one to get through his rock solid heart!" And then he says something like, "I'm sorry, what?! What do you mean I'm his consort?!" "Don't you remember, when Thorin gave you the mithril vest? In our culture, giving a fine gift like that to your intended is a proposal! And you accepted his gift, so you sealed the deal." And Bilbo tries to tell them that he didn't know, that this is a mistake. But when he's asked whether he would like to return the gift and end the proposal, he can't do it, he doesn't want to, so he just goes on with the knowledge that he's the King's consort. Thorin would be so pleased that now he can be touchy feely with Bilbo, and it wouldn't really be much of a change from what they were like before, but now everyone knows and accepts. (And if you want the angst feelings, the scene at the end where he tells Balin what he feels about Thorin after he dies hits harder.)

2) if Bilbo proposes: like I said, I need a refresher on the lore so if there's a canon explanation for a Hobbit form of proposal or anything, just excuse me and let's pretend.

So, hobbits really love food and simple living and comforts, right? But that's not really possible when they're on a long journey, so Bilbo has to make do with what he has. Maybe they're short on their food supplies one day, and Bilbo has some food from back home that he packed and it's wrapped in a nice package, and he was saving it for himself, but offers it to Thorin and Co. And we all know Hobbits love to eat, and they eat a lot, so a few rolls of bread is like a snack to them, whereas for others it's a full meal, so the dwarves think he has a feast and is enough to feed them all for the night. Bilbo unintentionally proposed to Thorin by giving him a gift of a homemade 'meal' in a nice package, as is the custom (headcanon), and for a moment Bilbo forgets about it and just feels good for providing his friends with some food. Later that night, Gandalf reminds him, teasing him, about his proposal and Bilbo blushes and coughs nervously, saying he didn't mean to, but luckily, neither Thorin nor the other dwarves know about it so he thinks he's safe. But, Kili and Fili, sneaky little guys, were eavesdropping on their 'private' conversation and rush to let Thorin and everyone know about the meaning of Bilbo's gesture. Thorin scolds them for being nosy and that they probably heard wrong anyway, but the next day Thorin asks Gandalf and he confirms. Thorin says nothing but now that he knows, he allows himself to get physically and emotionally closer to Bilbo and from there, they kinda just live as a couple and no one questions it, they're happy for them!

It's been so long, but this is bringing back my bagginshield feels from back in the day 🥰

If anyone wants to write a fic or draw something inspired by this, you're welcome to do so, just let me know!

Day sixteen of my Birthday Month Art Prompt Challenge! Today’s prompt was: Poppy.

Poppy flowers are symbols of remembrance, death and lost love. It’s a fandom headcannon that while jewels hold symbolic meaning to Dwarrow, flowers do the same for Hobbits. With this in mind, I decided maybe Bilbo left a Poppy flower, as a kind of offering to honor his King. If his other Dwarrow found this odd, they did not comment on it, nor did they allow any of Dain’s folk to remove the blossom, on pain of serious injury. I’m sure the more clever and/or more sensitive members of the Company, such as Balin or Bofur, figured it out on their own.

Working alongside your significant other (Thorin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili, and Bofur)

A/N: I couldn't find the gif of thorin forging, if anyone has it then I'd appreciate it if they could hmu!

Thorin:

After the Sack of Erebor he would be reluctant to work alongside you

He does not doubt your ability or skills at forging nor is it anything about you specifically that makes him feel such a way

It is more about the fact that you are working in the cities of men and he does not trust their foul words or actions

However, if we are speaking about before the sack or after the reclamation of Erebor then he would be more than happy forge alongside you

If you do not know how to forge then Thorin would be happy to teach you - first starting off with the basics and then moving on to more advanced forgery

Dwalin:

Although more of a warrior than a forger, Dwalin would learn to forge as a lad

He did not quite enjoy it as much as fighting when he first began but would grow to enjoy it

Like Thorin, Dwalin would not be much keen for you to work alongside him in the forges

Both have a fiercely protective streak and are distrustful of anybody outside of their kin

In any other situation the quiet darrow would be proud to work with you, taking pride in not only the fact that you share a love of the same craft but also the skill in which you carry it out with

Fili & Kili:

Although Fili and Kili had not been working for as long as some of the other dwarves, they had still been on a fair few expeditions working as a travelling guard to merchants

Both lads would be excited to have their significant other along on their journey, though a bit more vigilant and weary about what you all will face on the road

Kili would be a bit more clingy than Fili but both would be confident in your ability to defend yourself (they would have been absolutely against you coming)

Both brothers would be proud of your independence and courage, not many would be willing to risk leaving the comfort of their home if it could be helped

Bofur:

Bofur is both a miner and a toy maker but after the 'Sack of Erebor there is not much time for toy making

Working in the mines is hard work and little pay off so if it could be helped Bofur would not really want you working there

However, he would respect your decision to become a miner if you decided to do so

Would enjoy working with you even if the two of you do not get much time to interact

After the reclamation of Erebor the two of you would set up a small toy store where you would work together to make toys for the children of Erebor

You enjoy spending the time with Bofur, even the silence is comfortable although more often than not it is filled with banter between the two of you

Likewise Bofur would love to have you working with him, though he did have a propensity to get distracted trying to make you laugh

Taglist: @sadndnboii-reads @thewhiteladyofrohan @shethereadinghobbit @fizzyxcustard @tschrist1 @kpopgirlbtssvt

Thanks everyone for reading!!

silly little hobbit headcannon

in dwarven culture, you show that you enjoy the food by having no manners at all. throwing your food, chewing with your mouth open, belching, being extra messy, etc.

bombur, looking heartbroken: (y/n) did you not enjoy supper? i thought that was your favorite dish..? did i not make it right?

(y/n), thoroughly confused: no you made it perfectly, i loved it! why would you think otherwise?

bofur: lass, the food went straight from your plate to your mouth, and there isn’t even any food on your shirt! you don’t have to lie to spare our feelings. it’s plain as day you didn’t like it.

How do you think the Dwarven members of the company would react to their s/o asking if they can braid their hair?

Ooh I love this

(I do not own LoTR or The Hobbit or it’s characters/ gifs not mine)

Thorin

Thorin is more than happy as long as he knows you know the meaning, hair is incredibly important and he doesn’t want to have so much of an intimate moment and not have you feel the same

He’s rather bashful when he sits down to let you braid his hair to say he’s waited and imagined how it would feel to finally become so domestically intimate with you is an understatement- he’s yearned for it

Even if you’re not skilled in the art of hairstyling Thorin loves what you did it could be a simple braid or even just running your fingers through his hair it relaxes him and the smile on his face is worth more than middle earth

Whenever Thorin gets worked up or begins to get stressed and snappy telling him to sit down so you can braid his hair never fails to lift the weight on his shoulders once you’re done Thorin will tug you into his embrace, it’s not only soothing for him but it takes away the tension between the company too

He doesn’t care if he’s too tired or miserable if you braid his hair Thorin will plead to return the favour he wants to show you his boundless love and appreciation and hair is one of the most comfortable ways he feels he can - he will steal kisses a lot while doing your hair

Fili

His heart melts when you ask to braid his hair the chances of you knowing of how incredibly intimate it is are high since it’s mostly Fili and Kili that teach you about Dwarven culture

You can pretty much do whatever you like with Fili’s hair since he’s practically putty in your hands he couldn’t care if you put a plait in it or wove it together for hours whatever you design is the most perfect thing to him

Fili will try and keep in your braids for as long as possible but inevitably they fall out and as upset as he is he knows you and him will have some quiet time together rebraiding his hair

Cuddles are a big yes during hair braiding sit in his lap and braid the sides of his hair and can’t resist kissing you and tracing shapes into your skin

Hair braiding is his favourite thing in the world, Fili can finally proclaim you’re his and he’s yours by braiding each other’s hair it’s his comfort reaching to feel the braid you gave him in any given situation

Kili

Once you ask to braid his hair you’ve entered a world you can never escape from braiding his hair is so attractive and loving he can barely sit still

Once you’ve touched his hair, Kili will constantly beg for more all day and all night he always wants you to play with his hair he loves it so much

Sometimes you’ll be walking around camp after setting up for the night and Kili will walk up, carry you to his bedroll and not let you free from his hold until you braid his hair don’t worry he pays you back in cuddles are many many kisses

Like Fili he tries to keep his braids in for as long as possible but gets stroppy and upset when they come out - fix them and he’ll love you forever he’ll practically have heart eyes

Kili will get so upset if he can’t braid your hair just be careful he’ll get addicted to that too and want to do it all the time also he will 100% lay on top of you and stare at you with adoration for hours afterwards

Dwalin

He’ll be shocked for a minute before asking “do you know what it means, lass?” If you respond with yes his smile will reach his ears

Unlike the Durin line Dwalin would only let you braid his hair in private or by a stretch in a secluded area if someone did walk in on you braiding his hair he’d be annoyed, in private it feels like just you and him not everyone needs to see

However Dwalin will wear the braids you gave him around the company he’s not ashamed of them he adores them, it’s just he’d rather have intimate moments in private

Dwalin can’t decide if he likes braiding your hair more than you braiding his both are magically relaxing there’s something about seeing you wear his braids that really gets deep within his heart

He will always redo them when they fall out no matter what’s happened, he could be fresh out of a war and he’d still do your hair if it meant you were happy

Bofur

Bofur beams when you ask to braid his hair he’s so happy you want to take a step further into the relationship and be on very intimate terms he’s so giddy

Bofur will definitely give you his hat to wear at some point each moment spent doing each other’s hair is intimate but it doesn’t have to be serious and he loves bringing humour into everything

Bofur wants to do your hair so often it’s really sweet, every other night when you’re asleep or laying together he does your hair sometimes it’s absentmindedly other times his full intent is to see your face when you wake up to fresh braids

He’s so gentle with you, your hair may tangle and knot in the wind or naturally and Bofur will ease the knots so easily and painlessly and his touch is so feather light and relaxing it can put you to sleep within minutes

Hair braiding is one of the most intimate acts you share with Bofur it’s fun, relaxing and heavily strung with meaning it means the world to both you and Bofur especially since he knows he found the person he wants to grow old with

congratulations on 200 followers!! ur writing is absolutely incredible and ur general posts always make me so happy!! 💌💌 could i request a platonic/familial headcannon (or drabble or whichever format you like- i don’t really know the differences 😅 ) with the company (any members you want!) where the reader is sick and needs to be taken care of? (nothing life threatening- i just enjoy good hurt/comfort :P )

Thank you!! I decided to do some headcannons, a few of them are short, but I hope you enjoy!

200 follower Celebration

Thorin:

When he notices you’re a little sick, he has the company take it easy. Still on the road, but with more rests and always keeping a careful eye on you. If it gets worse, he’ll have the company stop somewhere safe for a couple of days. He probably won’t give a lot of direct care, but will help with simple things such as bringing you water/food, extra blankets, and making sure you’re comfortable. He’ll leave the medical side of things to Oin.

Bofur:

Bofur will try and keep your spirits up, entertaining you with little stories and jokes. “After all lass, laughter is the best medicine!” *cue Oin grumbling*. He’ll watch your condition, and if he thinks you’re doing too much or getting worse, he’ll call for a rest or talk to Thorin about lessening your workload. Will make sure you get the first serving from Bombur.

Bombur:

He’s very good with sickies, as he must be, with 14 children. Thankfully, he is a dwarf and you a human, so he won’t catch sickness taking care of you. Will 100% make you the best food and ask for what you want. He might even find the resources to make your favorite sweet! Will give you his big and cozy sweater, and insists that you wear it. It smells like cinnamon and pastries, and definitely helps you get through your sick bout.

Bilbo:

He’d be a very good caretaker, always knowing what you need, when you need it. Expect lots of herbal teas from him, and extra portions at every meal. Oin barely needs to check in on you, since Bilbo does such a lovely job of taking care of you. He’ll tell you stories 24/7, about the shire, about his family history, and just hobbit fairy stories. A bit like a mother hen, and can be strict, but he knows what’s best.

Fili:

He feels very responsible of you when you’re sick. Just big brother instincts kicking in. He’ll make sure you’re safe, as comfortable as you can be, and happy. If you feel like pure shit, he’ll wrap you up in blankets and give you all the hugs. Or, he’ll give you space, depending on what you need. He’ll move your sleeping roll closest to the fire, and make sure you’re in the center of camp, so everyone can keep an eye on you.

Kili:

When Kili notices you’re sick, it’s platonic cuddles 24/7, if you’re comfortable with it. He’ll probably ask if you’d like to ride with him, since a sick person needs to stay warm, and Kili is a dwarf-heater. He’s always asking if you need anything, which can get annoying, but still endearing. If it’s more than a slight fever or coughing, He’ll definitely force Thorin to stop until you get better.

Oin:

Obviously, he’s the most helpful towards your body healing and recovering. He’s a bit gruff, and loud (I know I hate loud noises when I’m sick, so it would be a pain for me to be treated by Oin), but still very caring. He may not be the best comforter, but the rest of the company more than make up for it!

A dragons wish Chapter 6

Read here

Reblogs appreciated

The dwarrows hadn’t moved an inch since Bilbo had left the forges running after Ruby. They stood around the cushion-castle the little girl had built, like fierce guards made of stone, staring into space. He stopped, right in front of Balin, frantically trying to catch his breath.

“The… The dragon! It was huge. A gigantic beast! Even larger than I ever dared to imagine,” he huffed.

Instantly he had their attention. The dragon was real, and very much alive. A cold shudder ran down the hobbit’s spine. The whole situation had just drastically changed.

The eyes of the company simultaneously shifted from Bilbo to Thorin. The king hadn’t said a word so far, in fact he hadn’t shown any kind of reaction since the young girl had left them in a hurry.

“Thorin?” Balin tried it again.

He didn’t react, didn’t move. Thorin just stared into the empty hallway where Ruby had vanished not long ago.

Ruby!

“It has Ruby,” Bilbo whispered in horror.

Just now he remembered the clothes the dragon had in his massive claws. Looking up he could read the same horror in the faces of the dwarrows.

Yes, he was their king, and yes he had become a good friend for Bilbo over time, but his behavior was just too much!

Ori sat down next to him, taking a break from barricading the large entrance with massive boulders. The young scribe was by far stronger than he looked. When Bilbo had complimented him for it, Ori had only shyly mumbled something about having it inherited from their mother and that Dori was even stronger.

Glancing to the side he could spot a familiar book in the scribe's hands. The book he had received from Ruby. It was bound in leather and rather plain looking. There were no golden ornaments or embedded jewels on the cover.

Thinking back, the hobbit hadn’t seen any fancy jewelry or other valuable things on or near Ruby. The braids in her hair were held together by wooden clips and beads, she hadn’t worn any bracelets, rings or necklaces. Even her clothes looked rather old and had many patches and parts that were repaired.

“What is it about?” the hobbit nodded towards the book, watching the nimble fingers of the scribe caressing the worn pages.

“Stories, it seems, about adventures and magical creatures from faraway places. One is about a young elven woman visiting her grandmother in the dark forest. Sadly the grandmother had been eaten by a warg, which now posed as the grandmother to also eat the young girl. Luckily a ranger comes by, freeing the grandmother as well as the young girl. Which is highly unlikable, but still… I like the happy ending,” clutching the book even harder he stood back up, rejoining his brothers.

Bilbo was the only one who noticed the faint brushing of the young scribe's hands against the rough palm of the warrior as he passed by him.

Dwalin sighted. This was not what he had hoped for, not at all. Still, having the little scribe by his side gave him strengths to press on. With a last look on the youngest of the dwarrows he left the front gate to inform his king of the newly arrived visitor.

“Thorin,” upon entering the grand hall of the forges he noticed how the king hastily straightened himself, “we have a guest on our front door.”

Hope sparked up in the blue eyes, but almost instantly died down again as Dwalin lightly shook his head. Thorin’s head dropped, facing the floor. His hand clenched around a silver necklace of some sort, he continued to stare at the floor in front of him.

“Who is it?” Thorin managed to ask after a moment of silence.

The warrior tried to gloss over the amusement in his voice with a khoff. This was really not the time to laugh at the childish reaction of his friend. Still, seeing Thorin, king under the mountain, his brother in arms and on the battlefield sitting in the middle of a cushion castle, surrounded by fluffy blankets, soft cushions and pressing a vibrant pink, flower-shaped cushion against his chest, was rather unsettling and strange.

“Bard the bowman from Lake Town is asking for an audience with you,” the warrior simply answered.

Thorin didn’t react. He hadn’t really moved since Ruby had left and had holed himself up in the forges as soon as the devastating news Bilbo had brought them had gotten through to him fully. Even now he was only staring into the empty hallway, while his fingers fumbled with the strange silver necklace.

Dwalin sighted again. If he hadn’t saized command shortly after Bilbo had returned, who knows what would have happened. Sure, they all were shocked and devastated at the horrible news of the dragon returning and taking the wee lass with him, still, Thorin was their king, their leader. The warrior hadn’t seen his friend like this since Frerin had gone missing. Enough was enough! There was a pile of work left and Dwalin was rather sick of it.

“Thorin, you are my king and friend. I respect that you are…” not sure how to describe the sight he saw before him Dwalin coughed again and continued on, “You will come with me and if I have to drag you there myself. You ought to be king and welcome our kin not long from now, so behave like one!”

Bombur nearly choked on the bite he had just taken from the large sandwich Bifur had brought them all. Hastily he took a large swig of the water he held in his other hand. Blinking twice the cook realized that this was no daydream or illusion at all. There was Dwalin, which was nothing out of the ordinary, striding down the hallway and dragging something behind him.

Only after looking a second time he identified the thing as a person, huddelt into a fluffy blanket and clutching a bright pink and flower-shaped cushion as their king. The glare thorin gave him was not to be misunderstood. Still, how was anyone able to take their leader seriously after seeing him like this ?!

Shoving the rest of the sandwich into his mouth he poked Bifur in the back. The old warrior spun around and the axe in his head gleamed in the low light. Letting loose a wave of rapid Khuzdul he picked up a pebble and threw it across the hallway at Gloin, who was currently talking to Balin.

Gloin reacted as expected. Angrily he turned around to look for the person who was responsible for interrupting his chat with the king’s advisor. Before he could utter a curse his eyes locked onto the scene right in front of him. Dwalin, dragging what looked like a pink-reddish lump of clothes behind him towards the main gate. The pebble surely couldn’t have hit him that hard!

Balin on the other side only buried his face in his hands. He was used to seeing his brother doing impulsive and sometimes rather stupid things, as he had always been there to help him out in the end an straighten things out. But this was a first in case of stupidity and impulsiveness. Dwalin had to see how to get out of this mess afterwards all on his own.

Bilbo stopped abruptly in his movement. He had rushed to the front gate as soon as the raven had delivered the message that the rest of the company and two other people were making their way towards the mountain. He didn’t want to wait any longer to finally see Bofur again. Surely he would get an ear full, cause he had left his dwarf behind and didn’t wake him in time. But at that time Bilbo was rather fond of the idea to at least assure Bofur to survive the wrath of the dragon.

Bofur, still holding the hobbits hand, was forced to stop as well. Questioning he followed the line of sight of his beloved. With the utmost of his will and control he was able to disguise his laughter as mere coughing. Bilbo’s elbow in his ribs made him turn towards the hobbit again, he also couldn’t contain his wide grin. For the dignified leader of the company to be dragged through his own mountain at that!

Bilbo’s amusement vanished and was replaced with worry and sorrow. For a moment there he had forgotten the reason for the king’s odd behavior. Bofur frowned, there seemed to be more to this situation than they all had let on.

“* Kidhuzel , what is the matter?” concerned he lightly squeezed the hand holding his.

“I’ll tell you the story behind that in a bit,” Bilbo promised him, before moving on.

(*gold of gold)

Oin had stayed with Bard and Tauriel to chat some more about medicinal herbs after reassuring himself that the two princes and especially Kili were alright to go on on their own. The elven woman had fussed some more over the dark haired prince, but respected the decision that she would have to wait outside.

Kili still leaned on his older brother even though he tried his best to walk on his own. Facing down he made sure not to trip over anything and to burden Fili any further. Strangely enough the floor was sparkly clean aside from the trail of mud the others must have left behind.

To his own surprise the front gate was almost unscratched and not missing as he had assumed from his uncle's stories. Even more, it was warm inside and the hallways were lit! There was no foul smell of dragon or whatever he might have left behind. It felt almost homely and welcoming. The others had accomplished so much in such a short amount of time! He could do nothing else but be astonished by their capability.

Fili stopped abruptly and nearly let his brother slide from his shoulder. Luckily Kili was quick enough and steadied himself before kissing the floor.

“By the beard of-” looking up, Kili had wanted to lecture his older brother on how to properly handle hurt and ill dwarrows, but stopped himself.

There must be some poison left inside his system, which made him hallucinate once more. No other explanation was reasonable or possible. With his free, left hand he rubbed his eyes. Still there.

Pinching Fili’s arm he tried to wake himself. The immediate response, a light jab in his stomach assured him that this was real.

Not being able to take his eyes off of the unreal scene in front of him he wasn’t able to see the unbelieving look in Filis eyes and how the blond prince's jaw seemed to drop even further.

“Uncle… is that really you?!” Kili was not entirely sure if he was seeing things or if this was reality, but either way, it was hilarious.

He couldn’t wait to write to his mother about it! This would provide them with amusement and embassesment from the king till forever! Fili also seemed to have overcome the shock. Leaning onto his older brother Kili could feel the faint shaking, which got stronger by the second, signing that Fili was trying his best to hold in his laughter.

A sly grin appeared on Kili’s lips. He would certainly have to help his older brother, no? With a hearty jab of his elbow he forced the first prince to break into laughter. Not able to hold in his own amusement he joined in and filled the halls with their voices. Even the deathly glare Thorin was rather known and feared for couldn’t stop them. The pink cushion and the blanket he was wrapped into made him look rather ridiculous than intimidating.

“I brought the king.”

Tauriel’s face turned to stone, expressionless as only elves were capable of, while Bard tried his best to keep his mouth shut, the face strangely red as if he had forgotten how to breathe. Confused Oin turned around, the rather worn trumpet in his hand. What was going on?
