nct dream and the gifts they would give you.

PAIRING. nct dream × gn!reader GENRE. fluff

WARNINGS. none

PLAYLIST. the feels by banana club

AUTHORS NOTE. ahh second thing i’ve every wrote on here, still makes me kinda nervous lol. if there are any spelling/grammatical errors pls do tell

⁆ 𝘓𝘌𝘌 𝘔𝘐𝘕𝘏𝘠𝘜𝘕𝘎. jewlery, charm bracelets (like the ones from pandora)

· i feel like mark would be the one to give jewlery as a gift to his significant other, weather it be a necklace with the both of your initials intertwined to a charm bracelet with all of your favorite items on it.

— your face contorted into one of suprise when mark randomly handed you a small pink bag, a toothy grin etched on his features. “open it” he nudged, ringing his hands together, presumably out of nerves that you may not like the gift he had gotten. carefully removing the gold-flecked tissue paper, and taking out a palm sized box you raised an eyebrow once more in marks direction. “should i be scared?” you mused, to which mark lightly chuckled. “just open it babe, i think you’ll really like it.”. and boy was he right. your eyes lit up at the sight of a silver necklace with your birthstone incrusted on a small circular charm. mark waited a baited breath on your reaction, his eyes searching yours for any source of emotion. “i love it mark- thank you baby” you stood quickly, placing a chaste kiss to his cheek.

‎

⁆ 𝘏𝘜𝘈𝘕𝘎 𝘙𝘌𝘕𝘑𝘜𝘕. something he made himself, a drawing of the two of you. or perhaps a clay ring plate

· it’s known that renjun is the offical “artist” of dream, i mean his artistic abilities are so amazing (have you seen his butterfly drawing??) . so his s/o would definitely recieve some of his best (and mediocre) drawings. may they be as gifts or just something he didn’t know what to do with. thats why i think he would give you something made by hand.

— your date at the pottery class had gone worse than you’d expected. sure, you were never one that was particularly good in the arts. but that didn’t mean you didn’t try it out everyonce in a while. renjun and you had planned to make matching plates, so when they were side by side the heart that was painted on opposite sides would connect. sounds like a good idea right ? well, maybe it was, but only for the artistically inclined. everytime you tried to paint the heart it either came out lopsided or the paint began to clump on the ceramic.so you were left with a perfect plate (renjun’s) and one that seemed to be done my a six year old (your’s). “i’m sorry i couldn’t put your idea to good use�� you had apologized in the car. renjun had simply waved it off, “it’s nothing babe. at least i know this cup i painted for you won’t go to waste”. he pulled out a tulip covered cup, his eyes shining in a feeling only described as pride. “i hope you like it, i thought you would like something like this”. your hands quickly grasped for the cup, taking it and exzamining it as if the royal jewles were clasped between your fingers. “jun! i love it, thank you so much bubs”.

‎

⁆ 𝘓𝘌𝘌 𝘑𝘌𝘕𝘖. flowers from flower shops he’d pass whilst biking

· i, 1000% agree that jeno would randomly give you flowers after a bike ride. i mean lets say he was passing a cute shop on his way home and thought “hmm maybe y/n would like a flower or two for her dining room table”. and bam a cute gift.

— the minute jeno had walked through the door to your apartment, he handed you a few peices of lavender, some baby’s breath and a larger iris. still clad in biking wear. “i brought you flowers, you were saying your place could use some life and color earlier and well...” he motioned to the bouquet grasped tightly by the middle. “aww thank you baby” you smiled, pressing a linger kiss over his lips.

⁆ 𝘓𝘌𝘌 𝘋𝘖𝘕𝘎𝘏𝘠𝘜𝘊𝘒. playlists, or songs compiled into one ( songs that remind him of u ofc )

· hyuck is probably the type of bf to make playlists of random moments you’ve spent together. like “that one time y/n painted my nails” or “when we went for a late night drive”. so he probably would gift you some of the hundreds ones he’s made.

— the buzzing of your cell-phone broke you out of the sleep like daze you found yourself in. one of the many senders, was not suprisingly donghyuck. why would he be messaging you at this ungodly hour? to send you playlists of the extra soft moments. it was sent with a heart and cute note, “i made this for whenever you miss me :)”. and oh how your heart melted at the innocent heartedness of your usually teasing boyfriend. so when he became soft, you often releshed in it. sending a quick “i love you” back, the only task at hand was to find your air pods and listen to the mere declaration of his love in the form of songs.

⁆ 𝘕𝘈 𝘑𝘈𝘌𝘔𝘐𝘕. cookies, sweets, anything he’s cooked

· we all know how jaemin cooks for jisung whenever he asks, so why not for his significant other? he probably will have them in cute containers wrapped cute with a note and some stickers or something. i mean like how adorable??? (im dead)

— it was an understatement to say you were suprised by the pink cloth clad package placed on your door step. the only indication of the person behind it was a mere sticky note with the words “Y/N <3″ etched across it. at first, you were skeptical (as i think most people would be if a package of food came to their door step with no explination. carefully opening the cloth, another note appeared. this time signed by jaemin himself. “ dear y/n, i know school has been treating you badly and im sorry i can’t be there all the time to cuddle your worries away. so please accept food in apology. love jaems :)”. you could’ve broken down in tears then in there. jaemin was so sweet. sending a thank you text his way, you began to induldge on the meal your angel boyfriend had prepared

my thoughts on every Hellfire Gala outfit (in order of appearance in the Guidebook)

emma frost - all 3 of her outfits capture her seductive persona perfectly, as well as showing the world how influential she can be, if she so chooses; overall one of my favorites wardrobes at the event (and probably in comic books in general)

rogue - *just chef’s kiss* again, one of my faves; the 80′s vibes with the collar and the sunglasses are immaculate

angel - an almost perfect blend of simple and chic, but could’ve done something to add to it (a halo or a design on the pants?); how dope would an archangel dichotomy look on him in the future

rachel summers - im in the minority when i say i adore this outfit; it just is an amazing homage to her old spunky outfit with more flair, but i do agree that the make-up is a bit much

captain britain - not one of my favorites, but still very adequate; the red really doesn’t mix with the flag dress for me, but the butterflies were a nice touch

storm - just a simple 15/10; if she wore this outfit as her normal costume, i wouldn’t even mind - in fact, i would cherish that fact

kitty pryde - not a fan; kitty’s color has never been red for me, but i can see why people would like it and the meaning it has regarding her “red queen” status in the hellfire club

penance/m - very eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing; big fan of the make-up as well, overall would give it a solid 8.5/10

jean grey - do i need to even explain how amazing and how much this outfit suits her; one of the best outfits at the gala, no doubt

cyclops - not a strict favorite, but still a very good design with an interesting visor concept

mastermind - very steampunky and fitting for an ex-hellfire club member; i dig the shade of brown and the cuffs’ color interaction with the cane

selene - too safe; so much more could’ve been done, even if the look itself isn’t horrible

madrox - very confusing to the eye; again - the eye makeup is on point, but an outfit more closely related to his multiple man costume would’ve been the superior choice

sunspot - cool concept, dissapointing execution; if his look would’ve been “less clothes, more mercury-esque type of outfit”, where his outfit was built upon his mutant physiology, it would’ve had a much more pleasing outcome

wolverine/x-23 - not bad, but maybe too safe and basic; the top half of the dress looks decent but more shapes and designs that play on her figure would’ve made for a much more interesting ensamble (cuts where the blue “wolverine” stripes were?)

synch - breathtaking; absolutely no gripes with this design

cannonball - love the cape/poncho element, but i would’ve liked some more color or a motif to make the overall suit more interesting to look at; the goggles were a nice touch

sunspot - magnificent; the mask tying in with the coat masterfully, solidifies this as a 10/10

colossus - another winner; piotr looks absolutely menacing and powerful with the long flowing cape and even the ushanka, capturing his roots with a simple but elegant black and red color scheme

polaris - model-worthy dress and a captivating silhouette, but a lackluster addition of jewlery, make-up and hairstyle are a 6/10 for me

aurora - glamorous dress, but again very uninspired regarding the little details and the hair

northstar - very “leather-bound prince” vibes, which isn’t a bad thing but nothing really to stand out; still a good 7.5 though

eye-boy - i absolutely revere this design, as i see virtually no flaws with it; trevor really rocks this “deity” look

daken - boring, dull and utterly bland; the lack of shoes cements this suit as possibly one of the worst designs at the whole gala imo

kyle - now we’re talking; blue is really kyle’s color and the silver accents just tie this whole design up, but the bottom being so uninteresting makes this outfit slightly less appealing (some silver around the ankles or on the thighs could’ve really made that bottom part stand out)

prodigy - makeup and dress are absolutely impeccable, but the wings and shoes are kind of confusing me as they really don’t match neither prodigy neither his powers

bishop - the only good thing i can say is that his shoes aren’t terrible; very unpleasant and again out-of-touch with bishop’s personality and character

sebastian shaw - kinda all-over the place, but the fur coat gives him some shoulder volume; what is with the red shoes and the blue suit?

pyro - very simple, yet classy; some rings or a belt could’ve really elevated those plain areas

banshee - sharp and neat, exactly as it should be; nothing showstopping but beautiful in it’s simplicity

iceman - what is with all the wings on characters with dresses?; nothing cohesive about this design, just screams - “notice me, i’m here”

psylocke - the blossoms are beautiful, but nothing else really stands out; her plunging neckline adds to her personality as a seductress, but the bottom of the dress is really unfitting for the style it was going for

mr. sinister - charming and very “high-class”; all the edges really make sinister’s silhouette stand out, a good 8/10

exodus - a little bit all over the place, with the gigantic shoes and multiple shades of purple but the cape with the gold shoulder plates is dashing

havok - one of my personal favorites; simply fantastic and very in-touch with havok’s whole character and his past gear

mystique - exquisite dress, with the feathers really adding to that “evil queen” type of look the designer was going for; the jewlery adds some shine to her dark color scheme - an amazing idea with an amazing execution

dazzler - for being a pop diva, this design is anything but dazzling; a flowing dress as an homage to her 80′s jumpsuit with the rollers would’ve been much better than a “light show to hide the blandness”

mercury - okay now we can work with this; you could chalk this up to me being a fan of the “outfit being part of the character’s body” trope, but this design speaks to me with the only thing i’d have changed being a more sophisticated hairstyle

loa - THE LIONFISH DRESS; that’s all i wanted to say, 11/10

nightcrawler - okayyy, big “hellfire club x pirates” vibes with this one; peculiarly suits kurt, i even like the musketeer hat with the oversized feather

pixie - the uncanny (pun intended) “dark fairy” aesthetic suits megan; even if it isn’t one of my most favorite designs, i can appreciate it for what it is and yes here the butterflies and the wings tie into the character and her powers

mirage/moonstar - not many good things that i can point out, even if the design isn’t bad per se, it’s just not something i see mirage wearing - to a gala, ball, party or whatever

warlock - i mean you really can’t do much with warlock, but yeah, a bowtie and a middle part don’t do it for me

karma - bewitching, that’s the word; i would’ve added some more jewelry somewhere, but that’s the my only gripe as the hot pink IS karma’s colour

magik - my absolute favorite design out of the new mutants; the flamboyance, the vibrance, the vivaciousness, the horns - the only thing slightly throwing me off are the hooves, but i’m willing to overlook that for the sake of the argument that she IS the queen of limbo, after all

warpath - imo a very chaotic and jumbled design; contrary to everyone’s opinion, my favorite part are the spikes which to me are it’s only saving grace

magneto - pops has style, i’ll give him that; the gold makes him seem like royalty but it is a bit overkill

frenzy - jo looks f-i-n-e and that’s all i’m gonna say, perfect on all fronts

wiz kid - not my thing, even if i can see why anyone would find it enjoyable; the shade of red is a bit too vibrant for my liking and the weird cross things are too disorganised, but again - isn’t an atrocious design

khora - i’m gonna be honest, i had no clue who khora was before seeing her design; since then i’ve looked her up and despite me not really caring for her character, i find her design spectacular as she is giving me “space girl” vibes (also i like the use of the joan of arc hair here)

manifold - one of my ABSOLUTE favorites; everything about this suit is just flawless - from the color scheme to the patterns all-around

jubilee - while i don’t hate it, jubilee is much flashier than this dress allows for; the lotus design also isn’t horrible but so much could’ve been done to do her character justice

gambit - another design i’m indifferent towards, but again - gambit is such a flamboyant character, his charm can’t carry a bland black suit with a speck of purple on it’s own; missed potential™

monarch - the all-white was an interesting choice, and while i know the reason behind his outfit i would’ve enjoyed a white suit with gold details, akin to magneto and professor x’s a little more

gloriana/meggan - literally the definition of “blue fairy”; completely indifferent towards it, but something more interesting could’ve been explored

rictor - i’m in the minority here when i say that i absolutely love this outfit; from the cape down to the makeup i find this outfit great, as it shows rictor is back to more vibrant colors :)

wolverine - understand the choice between it, but one word is enough for me to describe it - bland;

sage - i actually enjoy sage’s outfit as simple as a black dress is; definitely far from a favorite but suits her character and shows enough of her legs, which adds to that model look

domino - again, i know why she’s wearing it, as she and the rest of these guys are like the “bodyguards” of the gala but c’mon - some details could’ve been added to make these suits a bit more interesting and more personalized

beast - i’ve already stated what i think of these suits, but here the choice of shorts for hank puzzles me

kid omega - look at how they massacred my boy; hot pink isn’t present anywhere, in any form, in his clothes, so an automatic 1/10

professor x - what?

+bonus

speed - how adorable does tommy look in his little “fairy prince” get-up; the make-up (akin to david’s) really adds to him and his boyfriend’s palettes that clash in the most perfect way

abigail brand - PIRATE QUEEN PIRATE QUEEN PIRATE QUEEN

shatterstar - i mean i would comment on his outfit, but he isn’t wearing anything but shorts but yay, our boy is back; i can overlook this uninspired look, seeing as this is gaveedra’s official return to comics

pete wisdom - sometimes less is more, and while i don’t hate it, pete normally wears a suit as his costume so the design really didn’t stray too far

stepford cuckoos - nuns? really? not horrible but c’mon, they are emma’s girls - their style should be octaves higher

tempo - absolutely on brand; don’t know much about tempo, but some eccentric make-up would’ve really put the cherry on top, but as a “welcomer to the party” of sorts i see why they didn’t go too crazy

rhapsody - as simple as the dress is, it really suits her well and clashes with her skin perfectly; something wilder could’ve been done to the hair, but then again - she should be able to see the strings to play after all

christian frost - nothing here is enunciating “white bishop” at all for me; not absolutely horrible, but more could’ve been done to let us know of his status in the club (an homage in the form of a 1800s suit wiith some modern touches perhaps?)

shinobi shaw - finally something worth talking about; shinobi looks dapper, as i love the design on his suit - clean, sleek and simple, but oh so fitting

wilhelmina kensington - it’s just... eh?, she’s just wearing a dress and her hair is in a simple bun; nothing to write home about, but seeing as she’s supposed to be a fashionable character at her core, this was kind of dissapointing

fenris - now, as weird as it seems i don’t despise this design... yes, something more interesing could’ve been done to make them stand apart, but somehow the “gladiator” looks work for the pair; i adore the head accesories as well

roulette - look i understand the color choices, but really? they couldn’t have played up her powers or shown them on her design in any way? i don’t believe that; a pink dress with black/white dots somewhere, or just straight up her discuses as her dress would’ve made this look so much more memorable

catseye - alright we get it, the hellions yada yada... but give our girls something more eye catching to wear or at the least include some detalis alluding to their powers, they just blend in the crowd for me

skin - i mean, was that really the best he could do? skin’s outfit could’ve been played with a lot more, don’t just make him a hipster and think “job well done, let’s pack for the day”; the only thing i liked is that it included his generation x colors, and even that is a stretch (pun intended)

cypher - classic tuxedo... doug looks nice, but compared to the wild designs there he blends with the crowd like a needle in a haystack; should’ve played around with some warlock motifs somewhere imo

neal shaara - as much as that pink suits neal, nothing here says “thunderbird” for me; now i know he stopped using that moniker a while ago, but at least a little nod towards that would’ve been enough, a 2/10 ‘cause i like the color

stacy x - really stace? as a former dominatrix i was expecting more than a “medieval peasant”, completely not her style; in the context of the story it kinda makes sense, but still - outfit changes aren’t off the table at any event

callisto - even though the white dress suits her, we’ve seen her wear exclusively white since her start as the white knight, i think a small design on her eyepatch or some kind of motif (a flower? fleur-de-lis? something royal?) on the dress itself would’ve elevated the good, while masking the dullness in her attire

the five (hope, proteus, tempus, egg & elixir) - i’m grouping the five in one (put intended) as all their outfits were such a minor cry from their usual uniforms that it’s almost criminal; was expecting a lot more for hope and elixir espeically, but again proteus is on point with a slightly altered physiological outfit and i’m a sucker for those

boom-boom - from what i’ve seen fanarts do, the boring pink dress was extremely underwhelming; the sunglasses are a staple and the dress is cute, but this is THE boom-boom we’re talking about, her fashionista side has always been a major side of her character, c’mon now... missed potential™

wolfsbane - literally gave us nothing. nothing i tell you... wolfsbane has SO MUCH potential to go all werewolf, to incorporate some crosses & other religious imagery.. but no, her costume. how dissapointing...

gimmick - we all have our thoughts on children of the atom, and even if mine are on the “bad” side, i have to gulp it down and admit that carmen looks absolutely breathtaking here; the amazon look really is something else, beautiful contrast with her skin, just wow - better-dressed than some of the x-men 🤭

armor - hisako absolutely “ate and left no crumbs”, i can’t see a single flaw here - from her dress, to her hair and especially those armored accents, with my only minor gripe is that something a little more eccentric could’ve been cooked up as far as make-up goes, but even with that an elegant 10/10 is in order

marrow - simple but elegant; set out to be self-contained and achieved that with grace and perfection, a really great, if not a bit too modest look

legion - orange pants. that’s it. -10/10

graymalkin (& anole) - again grouping the two as they basically did the skin gig and just put on a random tank top in a random colour and called it a day... guys, do better...

galura - i don’t know anything about the character, but what i do know is that she dresses well and she knows it; appearing as karma’s dance partner, her almost “angelic” attire compliments karma’s hot pink coat beautifully

do Icy please <3

I will! She’s a gorgeous femme lesbian and is super fashionable which contrasts well with Blooms warmer and more casual fashion sense.

To start this, in my opinion Icy is supposed to be one of the most beautiful characters in the series. She’s like a winter wonderland, cold and breathtaking.

I see Icy’s style as very feminine. She likes to match small bottom and small tops, so she wears skirts ans cropped sweaters and tees. She’s not the kind of person to wear oversized clothing, the closest she’d get would be warm, knitted sweaters or cardigans, but since the cold doesn’t bother her, she usually doesn’t bother to wear warm clothes on cold days. If she does wear outerwear though, it’s in the form of a long black cloak.

Her color scheme is pretty close to what we see in canon. Blues, whites, cool colors, often bright colors. Just as we see in canon she likes monochrome outfits. They look fashionable and flattering on her.

She really cares about her appearence. She always smells nice and makes it a priority to always have her hair well made, as it expresses her perfectionism. Her nails are always painted in white or blue and every time she notices a chip or the slightest imperfection she files them and reapplies the polish. Icy is, in my head, about average height and very in shape since she is determined to never be useless in a fight even if her powers were to fail her. Despite this, she keeps her hair long even though she knows it can be used as a weapon against her if she ever gets in a fight. Same thing with wearing heels. Icy always wears them even though they’re hardly optimal for combat, she just wants to look tall and intimidating. Icy can be vain; and sometimes that gets the best of her.

She doesn’t wear much jewlery, apart from a couple of light silver pieces. She hates wearing earrings and never wears them, she doesn’t like needles and doesn’t have them pierced. Her hands are very graceful though, and she likes wearing minimalistic silver rings. She aims to look perfect and clear and shining, just like ice. I hc that she doesn’t go very heavy on the eye makeup as she doesn’t like how it looks with her pale skin. She likes wearing mascara, eyebrow powder and lots of highlighter.

Worthless Little Shadow (chapter 3)

Worthless Little Shadow (Chapter 2)

Worthless Little Shadow (Chapter 1)

Fili sees you are entertained by the man in the square and decides now is the time. He moves behind you and whispers to his brother, "Keep her entertained. I'm going to go through her pack and see what she needs for life in the mountain. I'll meet you back at the pony when it's time to leave. Keep her safe, Kee. She is my One." Kee grins and nods.

Fli goes off to dump out your pack and had just made a mental note of what all you needed when Dwalin comes up to him. "Just what do you think you're doing, Laddie?" He says as he squats down. "I'm looking to see what Little Shadow needs for living in the mountain. Dwal, she has next to nothing! Her clothes are so threadbare and you saw her boot, how it tore open! She has no coin to buy anything!" Fili exclaims quietly as he puts your stuff back into your pack like you had it.

Dwalin nods. "Does she know yer doing this?" he asks. "No." Fili replies.

Dwalin chuckles. "Why don't you just tell her she is your One and get to courtin' her?!?" Dwalin asks with an impish grin.

Fili sighs. "Dwalin, you know Uncle expects me to marry some princess I've never met. When we were halfway there, we got a raven bringing us word that the princess just disappeared. No trace of her could be found and no one knows her whereabouts. Her father sent his apologies and told me I was free to pursue other options. So we turned back and decided to join you in protecting this caravan.' Fili told him.

When we first found her by the water barrel, I realized she was my One. I just don't understand why she is shying away from making friends with the other dwarrow and why she doesn't talk. She obviously can, as she cried out when Oin set her shoulder." Fili said puzzled.

Dwalin shook his head and stood. "I don't know what to tell ya, Laddie. Are ya worried about what Thorin will say? Is that why yer not pursuing her in the open?" he asks with a raised eyebrow and arms crossed across his broad chest.

Fili nods. "Uncle would not understand. He would just remind me I'm the crown prince and am supposed to marry a princess not some peasant." he says dejectedly.

Dwalin huffs, "If she is yer one, Lad, don't let your uncle stand in your way. It's rare a dwarf finds his one. Most, like me, Balin and Your Uncle, never find one because dwarrowdams are so rare." He will get used to it and she will win him over in the end. She is quiet, but helpful. Just keep providing for her and showing her kindness." Dwalin says and pats his back.

"Now, what all does she need?" he asks. Fili tells him, and he offers to help buy stuff for you. Fili thanks him and the two head off to the markets to get you clothing, dresses, jewelry, ribbons, new shoes and boots, a warm cloak and other things that strike their fancy for you.

************

When the entertainer finishes you look around and don't see Fili. You look at Kili with a puzzled look and he chuckles. "He's probably still shopping. Come with me and let's look around. I heard there's some new vendors and there is to be a celebration in a couple days to welcome everyone from the caravan." he tells you with a cheeky grin.

He leads you over to some fabric and clothes vendors and lets you look around. He notices you feeling a dark blue crushed velvet fabric and watches as you move on and spot a hunter green satin. The merchant comes up to you and talks with you and then leads you over to a beautiful royal purple gown. Kili sees your eyes get huge and you get a little curl of your lips at the corners. He grins huge when he sees the vendor take the gown and usher you to a fitting room. His wife helps you into the gown and then ushers you back out to the mirror so you can see what you look like in it.

Kili's eyes about pop out of his head when he sees you come out in the beautiful gown. The wife had chosen a black underbust corset to put on you that accentuated your curves and clevage. He comes up to you and smiles broadly. "Oh, Little Shadow, you look absolutely stunning in that gown! It's a pity my brother isn't here to see you in it!" he says mischievously. Then he gets an idea.

"Little Shadow, will you be our date to the welcoming celebration?" he asks. "I'll buy this gown for you to wear and we can surprise Fee with it!" he giggles. You look at him unsure. Then look back at yourself in the mirror. It's been so long since you had anything beautiful. You love the feel of the gown on you and you sigh. You look back at Kili and see his hopeful smile and the twinkle of mischief in his eyes. You chuckle and cave in. You nod and he lets out a little shout of glee. He urges you to hurry and get out of the dress so Fili doesn't see you in it. He hands the merchant the coin for the dress and the corset and asks him to wrap them both in paper so his brother doesn't see what was bought.

The merchant's wife helps you out of the gown and tells you that you looked wonderful in it and she hopes you enjoy it. She tells you her name and that you can find them here in the markets each week if you decide to get other dresses or clothing. She thanks you for picking out this dress and takes it to fold and wrap up for you. You redress in your traveling clothes and come back out. Kili has the wrapped dress and corset in his arms and is waiting excitedly for you.

He holds out his elbow for you to take and the two of you continue to wander through the markets. He stops at a jewlery booth and looks over the offerings. He watches you to see what you like. He notices you tend to gravitate to Sapphires, Emeralds, and Purple gemstones like Amethyst and diamonds. He grins and holds up a pretty necklace that would look lovely with your dress. It has purple amethyst and black Onyx stones in silver settings.

He is holding it up and looking at it when you turn and see it. You gasp at how pretty it is and come over to look at it. He holds it up to you and hums. "I thought this might look pretty with your new dress. What do you think?" he asks. You nod. He spots matching earrings then notices your ears are not pierced. "Hmmmm. Have you never pierced your ears, Little Shadow?" he asks. You look down and shake your head. He chuckles, "No worries, maybe Amad will help you with that, or we can have Oin do it for you." he says and tells the vendor he wants the set that goes with this necklace. The vendor nods and takes out a wood box and places the necklace, earrings and bracelet into it. He ties the box shut with a ribbon and hands it to Kili, who hands you the coin to pay for it. You give the vendor the coin and he thanks you for your purchase.

Kili tucks the box in with the wrapped dress and corset in his arms. Then he holds out his elbow again and you take it and continue to explore the market with him.

Eventually he glances up at the sun and says, "We should be heading back to the ponies, Little Shadow. Dwalin will be cross with us if we are late." You nod and the two of you begin to head back. Along the way, you spot a book seller and pull Kili over to it. He chuckles and lets you look for a few minutes. You pick out a book and he buys it for you. "You know how to read?" he asks. You nod and hold the book like it's a precious treasure. He chuckles and the two of you head back to the ponies.

When you arrive, you find Fili's pony loaded with packages and he is grinning like a Cheshire cat. Kili grins at him and nods. Fili lifts you back up onto the pony and climbs on behind you. Kili hands you the packages with the dress and jewelry in it. "Hang on to these, Little Shadow, don't set them down until you get to your room, ok?" he tells you. You nod. He grins and gives you a wink.

Dwalin makes sure everyone is back and then hollers to head out. He leads the caravan out of the gates of Dale and off to Erebor you go. Fili brings up the end of the caravan with Kili and they talk about the upcoming celebrations to welcome everyone. They explain to you what has been done to celebrate the first caravan and you chuckle at their excitement. Kili is excited to see Tauriel again as she always comes to the celebrations.

Kili tells Fili he invited you to be their date at the celebrations. Fili looks at him confused. "You're bringing Tauriel though, Kee." Kili winks, "Yeah, but YOU'LL need someone to spend the evening with!" he teases with another wink. You giggle." Fili looks down at you and says, "I think that's the first time I've heard you giggle, Little Shadow!" he says with a grin. You duck your head and blush. He chuckles and pulls you to lean against him as you ride the stretch to Erebor.

When you get closer, he tells you to sit up and look. You do so and a small gasp escapes your lips. The whole host of Erebor have gathered to see the incoming caravan. "Look! There's Uncle and Amad on the Ramparts!" Kili says excitedly and waves to them. Fili swallows hard and you feel his hand wrap around your waist tighter and his body tense suddenly. You look up at his face and he looks worried. "Stay with me until they send you all into the celebration hall. Try to work your way to the center. They will begin along the edges and work their way in to the middle of the group. Try to make it so you're one of the last ones, Little Shadow." he says quietly to you. You nod and pull your hood further over your face.

You watch as the caravan slows as the dwarrow enter and begin to dismount their wagons and ponies and rams and greet loved ones and friends before moving to the celebration hall. Thorin, Dis, Balin and Bofur come over to the boys and greet them.

Thorin is frowning when he sees Fili with you on his pony. "What is this?" he asks pointing to you. Fili squeezes you.

"We found her on the road, unconscious and injured from a fall down an embankment. We have been nursing her injuries and have been helping her to survive the trip. No one knows who she is, and she hasn't spoken a word since we found her. I promised her we'd take care of her and see that she lacks for nothing. Oin examined her when we found her and said she was severely malnourished at the time." he explains.

"What happened with the arranged marriage we had sent you off to do?" Thorin growled.

Fili felt you flinch and held you a little tighter.

"I got word from a raven they sent, that the princess had run off and disappeared. They searched for her and could not find her. Her father apologized profusely and begged our pardon. He told me he was sorry and encouraged me to pursue other options since no one knew what became of his daughter." Fili explains.

When you heard his explanation, you let out a little whimper, which only he heard. He gave you a gentle squeeze. "Amad, Little Shadow is still recovering and regaining her strength. Can she stay with us since she knows no one else here?" he asks.

Dis thinks for a minute and walks around to look up at you. You glance down at her with frightened eyes and she looks at you with a smile. "You are a little thing, aren't you!" she exclaims. She reaches up to help you down off the pony. You hand your packages to Fili and he holds them until his Amad has helped you to the ground, then he hands your packages back to you.

You are shorter than his Amad. And despite the heavy cloak of her son's that you are wearing, she can see how thin you are. "Have you boys not been feeding her?" she exclaims as Dwalin comes walking over. He chuckles, "Dis she has been getting the biggest portions out of everyone in the caravan!" he teases. "Oin told Bombur to give her double what everyone else got to help her regain her strength. It took her all evening to eat it all, but her bowl was always empty by the time she slept." he said with a wink to you. "If you think she's tiny now, you should've seen her when we first found her!"

You ducked your head and blushed. Balin came over and greeted you. "You appear to have discovered my brother's softspot." he teases with a wink. "Welcome to Erebor, Miss?" he pauses waiting for you to fill in the name.

You only nod and look over to Kili. He clears his throat. "Balin, we don't know what her name actually is, we just decided to call her "Little Shadow" since all her clothes in her pack were dark colors.

Dis looks at him sternly, "And why were you digging in her pack, Young Dwarf?"she scolds.

Fili chuckles. "Amad, Oin asked us to look and see if we could find some different clothes for her. The clothing we found her in was in bad shape and he had to cut them off of her to take care of her injuries." he explained.

"Oh, well if Oin told you to, then I guess I can't be too upset." Dis huffed. Everyone chuckled.

"Come, Sweetheart, let me take you to a chamber you can stay in and lets get you settled." she says and takes your hand. You look back at Fili and he gives you a smile and nods.

"Boys, bring her pack and belongings to the royal wing. Thorin, which room can I put her into?" Thorin frowns and looks at Balin. Balin looks at the room assignments and says, "Dis, put her in the Amethyst room for now. Most of the others are filled with guests. It is the closest one to your chambers." he informs her.

Dis nods and pulls you off to follow her into the mountain. Balin and Thorin head off to see to the new dwarrow who arrived in the caravan. Bofur wanders off and leaves the two boys to unload.

Kili comes over to his brother and whispers, "Well at least Amad likes her. You stand a chance of courting her if she can get Amad on her side!" Kili teases.

Fili nods and still looks nervous. He moves to start unloading the pony. "What are all these packages for, Fee?" Kili asks.

Fili smirks and Dwalin chuckles as he comes over to help. "They are for the Lass, Kili." he says quietly so Thorin doesn't overhear.

Kili looks at them both dumbfounded. "ALL of them?" he asks.

Dwalin nods. "Don't worry, Kili. We split the list and each bought her stuff she was going to need. It will be a welcoming gift from us to her since she had so little and what she did have was nearly threadbare." he explains quietly.

Dwalin sees Ori walking by and calls him over to help carry stuff to your room. "Ori, lad, come help us bring Little Shadow's stuff to her room." he tells the young dwarf. Ori looks up surprised but comes over and helps. They get all the packages and boxes and bring them up to your room.

Dis had just finished showing you around your room and was chuckling at your expression of bewilderment when there was a knock at the door. She went to answer it and you turn when you hear her chuckling at all the dwarves carrying armloads of packages into the room for you. You stand there mouth agape and don't know what to say.

Fili comes over with Dwalin and tells you. "These are for you, Gehyith, to welcome you to Erebor. You will need them to help you be comfortable here. Amad can help you unwrap them. Make sure you try them all on and any that need to be altered to fit you, she will know what to do with them. If you find there is something you need or want, tell her or me or Kee or Dwalin and we will see you get it. Okay?" he says as he gently holds your hands and grins at your reaction.

You cover your mouth and can feel tears well up in your eyes. You nod and he gives you a hug. Dwalin chuckles. "Aye lass, we hope you enjoy it here and stay with us." he grins and gives you and Fili a wink. You nod and give him a hug too. He is surprised at first and looks at Fili, who just smiles and nods. Dwalin pats your back and chuckles again.

"Come on now, Lads, let your mother and Little Shadow get her unpacked. I'm sure your uncle wants to hear about the trip." he says as he ushers the brothers to the door. They groan and you chuckle and wave.

You turn and look at all the packages and shake your head. Dis comes over and smiles at you. "It appears Dwalin and my boys have taking a liking to you." she says. You shrug and nod a little. "Did they treat you well after they found you?" she asks. You nod.

"Good." she says. "Now, let's see what Dwalin and the Boys bought for you!" she says excitedly. You are ushered over to the sofa and one by one, she hands you a package to open. There are a lot of dresses, traveling clothes, some jewelry, hair pins, ribbons, toiletries, shoes, boots, a couple small daggers, a new traveling pack and water skin, a brush and hair comb made out of ivory, and a new winter cloak.

Dis sees the packages you came in carrying and asks, "What's in these?" you grin and open the one with the purple dress and the black corset. You hold them up to you and Dis' eyes light up. "oooohhh! Let's go put it on you!!! I want to see how it looks!" she says. You grab the jewelry box and your hair comb and brush and the hairpins and the two of you go into your room.

Dis helps you into the dress and corset and then you show her the jewelry. She smiles and claps her hands. "Oh! those will be lovely on you!!!" she helps you out of the dress and corset and hangs them in your closet. Then she runs out into the sitting room and gathers all the clothing. She brings them into your room and has you try on each one. The ones that need altering, she marks and pins where it needs to be taken in and then sets those aside.

She squeals with glee when a dark Durin blue velvet dress fits you perfectly and tells you that you should wear it tonight for supper. You smile and shrug. She chuckles and helps you out of the dress. She hangs up all the clothing that fits you now and then shows you to the bathroom.

Your jaw drops at the in ground stone tub. She giggles and goes to show you how to fill it and empty it. She runs hot water in it and tells you to go to the cabinet and pick out some bath oil, soap and shampoo. You do and come back with peppermint and lavender oils and soaps and shampoos.

She helps you wash your hair. "My dear, why is your hair so short?" she asks, concerned. You shrug. "Did someone else cut it?" she asks. You shake your head, no. "You cut it?!?" she asks taken aback that a dwarrowdam would hack her own hair so short. You nod sadly. "Why???" you don't answer. She looks down at you and sees tears running down your cheek. "Oh, dear! I'm sorry! It's just that hair is such an important part of our culture. Most dwarrow would rather die than have their long hair shorn so short!" she tells you. You nod.

She helps you finish rinsing your hair and then leaves you to finish bathing. When you are done, you drain the tub and wrap yourself in a fluffy bathrobe. Dis helps you oil your hair so it doesn't get all snarly and staticky.

She helps you dry your hair and styles it in a pretty updo. Then she helps you into your blue velvet dress and wraps your black corset around the outside of it. She cinches it for you and makes sure it is not too tight. Then she helps pick out a simple sapphire and diamond necklace and some black flats for shoes. "There!" she says. "Now all we need is earrings." she goes to put on a pair of earrings in your ears, when she realizes your ears are unpierced. "Oh! Well, we can skip that for tonight. Tomorrow we'll have Oin do that for you if you wish." she tells you. You nod.

Suddenly there's a knock on the sitting room door. She gets up to go answer it and you follow. Balin comes in and greets her. He stops dead in his tracks when he looks up and sees you. "Well, now, don't you shine up nice like a new penny!" he says with a grin. "Thorin has invited you to join us for dinner, at his nephew's insistence." he said. You blush and nod. He chuckles and holds out an arm to each of you and you three walk out the doors and down the hallway.

You look back to see a guard pulling your doors shut. He nods and goes back to his post along the wall. You turn back and Balin is chuckling. "They were assigned to guard your door, miss. Apparently someone wants to make sure youre safe and can easily find your way around. If you decide to wander with out the boys to chaperone you, ask one of the guards and he will escort you to where you want to go." Balin informs you.

You look at him surprised and then nod. Dis just chuckles. When you get to the dining hall, Dis lets go of Balin's arm and opens the doors. Balin ushers you in and you quickly look down when you hear all conversations stop as you walk in. He chuckles and pats your hand. "It's ok lass. You're doing just fine." he tells you quietly.

You look up at him from under your lashes. He is grinning and gives you a wink.

Kili grins a huge grin and elbows Fili, snapping him out of his trance as he stares at you. He clears his throat and slowly walks over to you.

"Wow! You look wonderful in that dress!" He whispers.

You blush and Balin lets go of your arm. He pats Fili on the arm and goes to walk over and talk with Dwalin, who is grinning like a Cheshire cat at the scene.

"You picked that dress out didn't you, little brother!" Balin said to Dwalin. Dwalin gives him a half grin, but his twinkling eyes betrays him. "The lad needed a nudge to ask her if he can court her." he said quietly.

Balin sighs, "She is not noble or royalty, Dwalin. How can Fili expect to be able to court her??? We don't even know who she really is!!!"

Dwalin chuckles. "It doesn't matter, Balin, she is his One. Either Thorin agrees to the marriage, or Fili said he will step down and marry her anyway." Dwalin says with a smirk.

"Aaah, I see." Balin says. "Thorin's not going to like that. What does Kili have to say about it?" Balin asks.

"Kili said he will refuse the throne as well." Dwalin says with an even bigger smirk. Balin's eyes get huge.

"Thorin would rather see his nephews happy and ruling before he would ever allow the throne to be handed over to Dain." Dwalin says. "This way, Thorin doesn't have much of a choice. If both boys refuse the throne because Thorin won't allow the marriage of Fili and Little Shadow, then he will have no choice but to turn it over to Dain's line, which he will refuse to do. He would rather cave to his nephew's demands than see Dain's line rule. Besides if Dis likes Little Shadow, then Thorin won't get his way. He never stands up to Dis. What Dis wants, Dis gets when it comes to her brother."

Balin thinks for a moment then grins, "Very clever." he says and leaves it at that.

"She will grow on Thorin, Brother, don't worry. Just give her a chance. She is quiet as a mouse, but she sees more than she lets on." Dwalin says to Balin.

They watch as Fili ushers Little Shadow over to the table. He sits next to Thorin and looks at Kili. Kili nods and leaves a chair between him and Fili for Little Shadow to sit in. Thorin's eyes narrow and he scowls. But, not wanting to cause a scene, he says nothing. Little Shadow sees he is not happy about where they placed her and goes to move, but Kili grabs her hand and whispers, "Don't. Stay here. Fee is testing the waters to see how his uncle will react." She looks at Kili with a puzzled expression. He just grins. "Just enjoy the meal, Little Shadow." he says and pats her hand.

Supper is served and she sits quietly and observes the conversations. She replies with a shake of her head to any yes/no questions asked of her, but otherwise observes, keenly aware of the unhappy King glaring at her during the whole meal.

After everyone is done eating, Dis suggests they have some music and dancing. Thorin sighs and nods. They move to the music room and the musicians begin to play some songs. Thorin sits by the fireplace scowling and watches.

Fili and Kili look at each other and nod. They grab your hands and pull you out onto the dance floor and whirl you around first with one and then the other. Balin and Dwalin laugh as the two boys share the dance with you. Your face is glowing a lovely shade of pink and your eyes are twinkling at the fun you're having. Dis and Bofur dance and Bombur comes and joins the dance with his wife. Gloin and his wife arrive and they too join in.

Dwalin chuckles. "That's the first time I've seen her smiling and laughing since we first found her. Normally she is quiet and mousy and avoids interacting with other dwarrow." he chuckles. Balin nods. "I think she needs some rescuing though. Otherwise those two will wear her out before the evening is through." he nudges his brother. Dwalin smirks and nods.

The next time Kili comes close to them, Dwalin steps out and whisks you out of Kili's arms, leaving him standing there surprised. Balin chuckles and calls him over. "You two are going to wear her out before the night is done. Let some of the others get to know her, lad." he says grinning. Kili smiles and nods.

"What is your brother's intentions with her, laddie?" Balin asks, careful that Thorin is not in earshot.

"He wants to ask her if he can court her, but wanted to see how Amad and uncle reacted to her first. So far Uncle is the only one who isn't too happy she is here." Kili says quietly. "Do you think he will come around, Balin. She really is very sweet and kind." Kili says. "Fee just adores her. I haven't ever seen him so happy before." he says.

Balin nods and rubs his beard, watching his brother dancing with you and chuckles when Bofur cuts in and starts to dance with you. "She seems to be charming most of the company." Balin tells Kili. "If Fili wants to make sure no one else asks to court her, he better get a move on, though. Otherwise he may lose her." Balin comments. Kili nods.

Balin watches as Dwalin walks back to him and chuckles. "The lass tire you out already?" he teases his younger brother. "Naah, Bofur cut me off and took over." Dwalin says grinning. "She dances really well, Balin. I don't know where she learned to dance, but she dances as well as any royal or noble I've ever danced with." Dwalin said happily.

Balin frowned. Something wasn't adding up suddenly with Little Shadow. Balin walked over to the fireplace and lit his pipe and sat down. He started going over all the info he had heard the lads and his brother say about her. Suddenly he began to wonder if she was the missing princess that Fili was supposed to marry. He decided not to say anything yet. He made a mental note to send a raven to the kingdom where she disappeared to ask for a description of her.
