[thorinsghivashel]

I have to admit that...Dwarves are more attractive when riding the mountain goats...

THORIN IS EVEN MORE MAJESTIC ON THAT GOAT....the straight posture, the aggression, the fierceness, the confidence, the leadership 😍😍😍😍

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life is transient for some, a curse for some, and a blessing for some. But for elves, life is as insignificant as the blink of an eye. It was as good as non-existent for them, why should it be when you live forever, when you break away from this world and go to a better realm into the light of eternity, where everything is so beautiful that you feel like you are among the stars in the sky.

That's just how it was and that's how it would always be, not only for the elves, the old and new creatures of the world, who would last for centuries and millennia before they disappeared and became legends and myths like elves.

That was life in Middle-earth and that would not change, not for the simple farmers of men, the dwarves in the mountains or the Mirkwood King Thranduil and his wife, his beloved light of life.

Both had seen the seasons come and go and while her husband took no conditional joy in any of the repeating events, he was all the more pleased when he saw the shine in her eyes when autumn came to the surrounding lands.

When the colors changed to a reddish orange and the sun seemed to bathe everything in a liquid gold, it was the months, the passing moments that pleased the queen the most, especially the day when the royal couple set out to find new parts for the crowns that they had made every year. ,,If you're ready, my light, we can go,” she heard his voice.

She looked into his eyes, which had been gazing at her with the same love for thousands of years, and saw the royal couple riding on the elks with a group of soldiers as a patrol behind them.

But even if she had seen something, she had learned to ignore it. ,,Nothing stands in the way of our harvest except our ability to see too much grace in everything,” she replied, hearing the silent smile from his lips before the couple swung themselves onto the majestic animals and rode out through the castle gates, over the bridge and into the forest.

A ride they had both done thousands of times for each season, four times a year, and it never got boring, the forest had beauty and treasures that could be rediscovered over and over again.

She looked to her left and saw her husband's thoughtful expression, the slight narrowing of his eyes as he considered which plants, flowers and berries he would choose. He looked cute, she thought, remembering his first years in office when he was not yet fully aware of his power.

Taking her hand from the reins and going to his, she squeezed it lightly, seeing how she brought him out of his thoughts and he gave her a briefly wounded look before shaking his head at himself and giving her a kiss on the forehead, ,,Thank you, my light,” he said, and the couple continued on their way.

Sometimes it only took an hour and they were back, much to the delight of Legolas, who wanted to spend more time with his parents. Sometimes, however, it took hours if the couple could not make up their minds and felt that the forest had other concerns to share.

Being the king and queen of Mirkwood was both a curse and a blessing, but whenever she saw his loving gaze, when he took her hand and kissed her on the forehead, she knew that everything would be all right.

When the sun shone through the thicket of trees and bushes, warming her skin and bringing the forest to life, she saw the orange among the bushes and made her stag stop.

,,You're thinking too much again, my dear… I'll take this pumpkin with maple and oak wood,” she announced to him and to the group, who had a basket ready to collect the said ingredients from the surrounding area , although they had already gathered it themselves, but after they both sensed something approaching from afar that was not good for them, they knew that the safety of the kingdom and especially of the two of them was greater.

She couldn't stop the smile that crept across her lips and her sensitive ears caught the snort that her husband let out, ,,Once again I am surprised by your connection to small things, things, my love,” he said in a slightly snide tone that turned into laughter when he saw her bewildered expression and he brushed an apologetic cheek against her.

She felt the cool rings on her skin before she leaned forward to return his kiss, which they exchanged before they went back, knowing that her beloved would make the same choice of crown as she had.

If he chose the crown alone, they would stand here for another hundred years and make no progress. ,,My heart is yours,” she heard him murmur before she turned back to the castle and ran her fingers over his one last time before he followed her.

The couple made their way back to the palace, where they were not only greeted by a relieved Legolas, but also received a warm welcome from the king, who fetched a fine wine from the cellar for the loving ruling couple.

Y’know, the ending of botfa was such a wonder to behold. BEAR WITH ME HERE OKAY, HEAR MY POINTS.

I’ll start by breaking down some of the scenes. So first, we have the scene were Fili is momentarily captured by Azog at the top of that old abandoned fortress-thing with all of Azog’s army behind him. Then good old Azzerz (thats my name for azog) does his speech about which order he’d kill everyone in his plan that went horribly wrong, f in chat for azog.

And then Fili does that badass backwards spinning-kick and knocks Azog to the floor, then he dodges all of the army like a pro and kills like 75% of them (we all know how it goes so there’s no point going through it. But fili was awesome in that moment so i just want some appreciation for him there)

And THEN we cut to Kili, Bolg and Tauriel. I love the dynamic between Kili and Tauriel in that moment as they work together to take out Bolg, jumping off rocks and attacking him from both sides and being fabulous as always. Especially that bit where Bolg grabs Kili then Tauriel walks up behind him and kicks him in the balls. What an amazing scene. Then they manage to chase him to Legolas and that sketchy bridge that looks like it would collapse at any minute and Legolas starts flexing his skills and spins and slashes and runs up the bridge as it collapses in slow motion and nearly falls then flips himself back up again and does that cool thing where he stabs Bolg in the head and bounces off his shoulders and the whole bridge sinks then collapses and Bolg dies from fall damage then just in case he wasnt dead, the piece of rubble falls on him. Then Tauriel and Kili finally kiss and see Legolas stood far in the distance and wave at him and he finally accepts that Tauriel friendzoned him but he’s totally chill with it and it’s so wholesome.

AND THEN WE HAVE THORIN VS AZOG!! AND THORIN COMPLETELY WRECKS HIM! So they fight on the ice and Thorin uses Azog’s weight against him. We all know how he picks up Azzer’s big old wrecking ball thing and throws it at him and Azog goes under the ice. Then Thorin starts following him which tbh could have been quite a risky move and could’ve got him killed, but he sees Azog’s eyes open and does a BACKFLIP to avoid Azzer’s sword and does a majestic hair-flip, then yells a dwarvish war-cry and starts attacking him. Then it goes a bit downhill as we all know and how as Thorin’s pinned against the floor, Bilbo comes running at Azog and knocks him off and Thorin’s like “omagawsh ma husband here to save me <33” then Azog is on the floor cus bilbo wrecked him, and Thorin does that thing where he waltzes up to him holding bilbo’s hand and stabs Azog in the back and its so cool tho

and then Thorin proposes to bilbo, they reunite with Fili & Kili and they all hug and they’re tearful and Dwalin shows up and gives them a big old bear hug and its the sweetest. And then the eagles show up and take them all away from the oncoming army.

then when bilbo’s going home, thorin basically does the same as sam and bilbo’s like “i’m going home alone.” Then thorin says “of course you are. And I’m coming with you!!” It’s such a nice nod to lotr and i cried my eyes out there. Then they kiss again and all the dwarves cheer and Kili’s there holding tauriel’s hand then BARD AND THRANDUIL SHOW UP and make up with thorin and the company then Bard and Thrandy kiss too and Thranduil proposes to Bard then Kili proposes to tauriel and thennnnn (sorry for the long post) they all have a joint wedding at the shire and all the hobbits are like 0.0 “wat” at the sight of all these dwarves and elves and men but they embrace it all confused like “those are gonna be some interesting kids lmao!!”

then you see thorin moving in with bilbo after giving the crown to Fili and i cried again when they adopted frodo and you see Fili as King under the Mountain with lots of children and you can see how he looks slightly older and Peter Jackson and the makeup crew did such a good job portraying all the horrors they SURVIVED and LIVED to tell the tale of. And then it cuts to Gandalf showing up like 50 years later and you can see thorin sat in the back in an armchair reading a book and i cried again. overall such a wholesome movie and my favourite out of all three. Love that movie to DEATH haha, death’s a funny thing to mention considering how little of it there was 😅

sorry again for the long post but i had to rant about that movie!

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

Skrungly elf lady with shit posture and missing teeth you can always see bc she’s always grinning, one side of her face drooping from when it got melted by dragon fire, no make up just layers of dirt and dried gore, local ridiculously long lived magical humanoid out here living her best life making bad choices until it actively kills her and she has NO mental illness at all. The only tragedy in her life is that one time a group of friends threw her into a river and scrubbed her with soap while she was fully clothed so a monster would stop tracking them with the scent of it’s dried blood on her. She’s still looking for that monster. In her heart of hearts she clings to the hope of someday finally fighting it again, she doesn’t know it’s great-great grand spawn probably died a century ago.

Fancy dwarf lady who shrieks if the wrong kind of sediment gets on her bc it’s clashing with her carefully styled beard, cannot be trusted to buy or barter anything when she will give the clothes off her back for what is to the uncultured a completely normal grey rock but which other dwarves of taste will confirm as a very cute normal grey rock, she thinks smithing and stone work are the unethical domestication of majestic wild stones and refuses to handle any of the stuff, wears zero jewels or metal, enjoys breaking stone buildings or metal chains as an act of protest against the rock-abusing status quo. Uses stoneskin potions or actual basilisk stares for “meditation” where she tries to understand stone by becoming it, basically addicted to being petrified, possibly also very turned on by it. Her ideal woman is a Medusa who won’t wander off right after turning her to stone.    

the skrungly elf lady once asked fancy dwarf lady if ice counts as a rock, and if that means all water is just melted stone. fancy dwarf lady was horrified. fancy dwarf lady is now also obsessed with taking cold damage and possibly freezing solid the entire material realm and every other plane of existence she can get her totally not evil hands on. skrungly elf lady thinks that sounds like fun~

Of Dwarves and Hobbits:

Huzzah! This is a piece I did for Thorin’s Spring Forge 2023! This piece accompanies a work done by the lovely, luminous, and majestic @ironfoot-mothafocka whose piece “Of Dwarves and Hobbits”, you can read right here!

Once again, thank you so much for working with me!

This event was so fun, and I am for sure going to sign up again next year!

[eccentricmya]

MGiME but OC has transmigrated/isekai'd into a heartbroken Gilraen after Arathorn's death.

OC to herself probably: No, you cannot moon over your own child! That's so gross. Legolas though... Yeah no, he's your kid's bff, get yourself together woman!

But what can OC do? She's 23 feeling 17, a widow of a man she doesn't know, and the mother of a 2-yr old Aragorn! If she cannot be a 10th walker, then she's gonna make full use of her high status and meet all her favourite characters!

So when Elrond welcomes the mother and child into Rivendell for protection, he expects a woman barely functioning through her grief: so deep was the love between Arathorn and Gilraen.

But what Elrond gets instead is a woman who flirts with him!!?? And Glorfindel?! And Erestor too??!!

(Though curiously, when Elrohir tries to trifle with her, emboldened by her rather over-friendliness with every elf of importance in the vicinity, he is treated to her motherly fussing instead, much to Elladan's amusement.)

When the company of Thorin Oakenshield passes through, you can bet your ponies that OC!Gilraen is hanging out with the dwarves instead of hiding away, fawning over His majestic Mr. Majesty, Thorin, and trying to join his quest.

(She doesn't. Little Estel puts a stop to that madness by pouting and wobbling his lips until tears glisten in his silver-grey eyes and OC!Gilraen has always been a simp for Aragorn, be he 10 or 88. She still slips a love note to Thorin before he leaves, warning him about his impending doom, which promptly gets lost in the goblin caves, washed out as it was in the rains, changing nothing.)

Just... Aragorn growing up with a mother who is full of life and love for him. A mother who would look at him and see her favourite person in all of Arda, instead of a ghost of someone she held dearer than life.

(And when he is named Elessar and crowned king, OC!Gilraen is there, 102 but looking barely a decade older than him — more a sister in the people's eyes than his mother. And OC may be a centenarian, but holy hell, that silver fox over there, is that the Prince of Dol Amroth!!??)

Dwarves as doggos Part 1

[tinytiger]

The Hobbit - A Kili X F!Reader Fanfic

Masterlist

But Daddy, I Love Him!

In the Woodland Palace, Y/n clashes with her father, Thranduil, over her arranged marriage and her love for Kili. Despite the tension, Y/n reconciles with the Company and strengthens her bond with Kili through shared moments and a gifted talisman, solidifying their connection amidst challenges.

Tw- familial conflict, arranged marriage

The Woodland Palace stood as a marvel of elven craftsmanship, a testament to the elegance and beauty of the woodland realm. Tall spires adorned with intricate carvings reached skyward, their graceful arcs reflecting the dappled sunlight that filtered through the canopy of ancient trees overhead. Elaborate bridges spanned sparkling streams, leading to arched doorways framed by living vines and blossoming flowers. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flora, and the gentle murmur of waterfalls provided a soothing backdrop to the serene atmosphere.

Inside the palace, the grand hall was adorned with shimmering tapestries depicting scenes from elven lore, while delicate crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow over the polished marble floors. Elaborate mosaics adorned the walls, their intricate patterns capturing the ethereal beauty of the forest that surrounded them.

In this majestic setting, Y/n found herself in a heated argument with Thranduil, her father, as they stood before the imposing throne that overlooked the grand hall. His expression was stern, his eyes filled with a mixture of concern and determination as he addressed his daughter.

"Y/n, you will stay," Thranduil demanded, his voice cold and authoritative. "You will follow the plan your mother and I had for you. You will marry Erland and secure our lineage with children."

Y/n's eyes widened in disbelief, her heart pounding with defiance and desperation. "I won't do it, Father!" she exclaimed, her voice quivering with emotion. "I don't love Erland. He is a pompous arsehole and i dont love him i love-” She looked behind her to were the path that the dwarves had followed led, 

“Kili.” She declared looking up at Thorin.

Thranduil's expression darkened, his disgust evident as he looked upon his daughter. "You would throw away your duty, your birthright, for a dwarf?" he sneered, his voice dripping with contempt.

Y/n's anger flared, her eyes flashing with defiance as she met her father's gaze. "Kili is not just a dwarf, Father. He is brave, kind, and honorable. He loves me for who I am, not for some political alliance."

The air between them crackled with tension, the weight of their disagreement casting a shadow over the opulent surroundings. Thranduil's face was a mask of disappointment and disapproval, his hopes for Y/n's future crumbling before his eyes.

"Enough!" he thundered, his voice resonating through the hall. "You will obey me, Y/n. You will forget this foolish infatuation with the dwarf and do what is best for our people."

Y/n's frustration flared at his protective stance, her own determination rising to meet his. "Father, I am not a child anymore," she retorted, her voice echoing through the hall. "I have a right to be with the company, my friends. I've made my decision."

Thranduil's expression softened, his eyes pleading with her as he spoke. "I cannot bear the thought of losing you again, Y/n. Please, stay with me. Let us celebrate your return together."

Y/n looked to Thorin for support, hoping he would speak on her behalf. But he remained silent, his gaze unreadable as he watched the exchange unfold.

Frustrated and hurt by Thorin's silence, Y/n's resolve hardened. Without another word, she turned and stormed away, her footsteps echoing loudly on the marble floor as she made her way towards the palace exit.

Legolas, sensing the tension and the pain behind Y/n's anger, followed closely behind her, his own heart heavy with the weight of their complicated family dynamics. As they left the grand hall behind, the echoes of their argument lingered, a poignant reminder of the challenges and obstacles that lay ahead for them all.

In the grandeur of the Woodland Palace, the tension between Y/n and Thranduil reached a boiling point, their voices echoing through the ornate halls as they clashed over her future.

Y/n stood her ground, her resolve unwavering despite her father's anger. "I cannot and will not marry Erland," she declared, her voice firm with conviction. "I choose love, Father, and I choose Kili."

With those final words, Y/n turned away from her father, her heart heavy with the pain of their disagreement. Thranduil watched her go, his expression a mixture of anger, sorrow, and disbelief as he grappled with the reality of his daughter's choices.

The echoes of their heated argument lingered in the air, a stark reminder of the rift that had grown between them, casting a shadow over the future and leaving both father and daughter to face the consequences of their deeply held beliefs and desires

In the sanctuary of her room within the Woodland Palace, Y/n stood dressed in an elegant elven gown, its fabric shimmering like moonlight on water. The intricate embroidery of silver threads traced delicate patterns across the gown, reflecting the elegance and grace of her elven heritage. Her eyes were distant, filled with a mixture of sadness and contemplation as she stared out of the ornate window, the beauty of the woodland realm stretching out before her, yet failing to soothe the turmoil within her heart.

The weight of her argument with Thranduil, the uncertainty of her future, and the complexities of her relationships with both her father and the company weighed heavily on her mind. Lost in thought, she was unaware of Legolas' silent entrance into her room, his concern evident as he approached her cautiously.

"Y/n," Legolas' voice was gentle, his concern evident as he sought to comfort his sister. "I know this is difficult, but you must go to the company. Mend the relationships you believe are broken."

Y/n turned to face him, her eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and determination. "Thank you, Legolas," she whispered, her voice filled with resolve as she prepared to face the challenges ahead.

With a nod of encouragement from Legolas, Y/n made her way to the prison cells, her footsteps echoing softly in the dimly lit corridors. As she approached, she heard the muffled voices of the company, their conversation serious and tense.

Stepping into the cell, Y/n's presence drew surprised glances from the company, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and relief at her unexpected arrival. With a playful smile, Y/n broke the tension, making a light-hearted joke that elicited a few chuckles and smiles from the weary group.

Realizing the gravity of her previous actions, Y/n took a moment to apologize to the company, her sincerity evident as she sought to make amends. "I'm truly sorry for the pain and confusion I've caused," she said, her voice soft yet firm. "I want to make things right."

She then approached Thorin, her eyes meeting his as she made a heartfelt promise. "I will get you out of here, Thorin," Y/n vowed, her determination unwavering as she looked upon the dwarf she had come to care for deeply.

Thorin's eyes softened, a hint of a smile playing on his lips as he regarded Y/n. "You look so much like your mother. As stubborn as well. Yet her beauty seem to pass on to you." he murmured, his voice filled with warmth and affection despite the circumstances. He looked to were Kili’s cell was. “I believe that he loves you to you know, the way he looks at you. It’s obvious. Go get him, tiger.” 

Embracing the moment, Y/n then sought out Kili, her heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and hope as she approached him. 

Kili leaned against the cold stone wall, his eyes locked on Y/n as she approached him with a confident stride. The dim light of the cell cast soft shadows on her face, highlighting the delicate features that made her even more captivating in his eyes.

"You know," Kili began, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth, "when I first saw you in that elven dress, I thought you might decide to stay and become one with the elves. You do look rather enchanting in it."

Y/n chuckled, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she met Kili's gaze. "Oh, is that so?" she teased, her voice dripping with feigned innocence. "Maybe I was considering it, but then I remembered how much I'd miss your charming company."

Kili's laughter echoed in the cell, his heart lightening at the playful banter. "Ah, so it's my irresistible charm that keeps you coming back for more," he quipped, his eyes dancing with amusement.

Y/n rolled her eyes playfully, her lips curving into a flirtatious smile. "Well, that and your dashing good looks," she replied, her voice soft and teasing as she moved closer to him.

Kili's breath caught in his throat as Y/n's proximity sent a pleasant shiver down his spine. "Is that so?" he whispered, the air between them charged with electricity. "I must say, your taste in company isn't too bad either."

Kili reached into his pocket, retrieving a small, intricately carved stone. Its surface shimmered with a subtle iridescence, reflecting the dim light of the cell in soft glimmers. The stone was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, its delicate engravings telling a story of dwarven lore and tradition.

"I've been meaning to show you this," Kili said, his voice gentle as he held out the stone for Y/n to see. "It is a talisman, a powerful spell lies upon it. If any but a dwarf reads the runes on the stone, they will be forever cursed, or not. Depending on whether you believe that kind of thing. It's just a token - a rune-stone. My mother gave it to me so I'd remember my promise."

Y/n's eyes widened in admiration as she took the stone in her hands, tracing the intricate carvings with her fingertips. The stone felt cool and smooth against her skin, its weight comforting in her grasp.

"It's beautiful, Kili," Y/n whispered, her voice filled with awe and appreciation. "The craftsmanship is truly remarkable."

Kili smiled, his eyes warm as he watched Y/n admire the stone. 

Y/n's heart swelled with emotion, her connection to Kili deepening as she held the stone in her hands. "Thank you for sharing this with me," she said, her voice filled with gratitude. "It means a lot to me."

As they shared this intimate moment, the stone serving as a tangible link to their shared history and shared dreams, Y/n and Kili felt their bond strengthen, anchoring them amidst the chaos and uncertainty that surrounded them.

[vaile-elenya]

Thoughts on the finale? I really loved it. It did hurt my heart a bit to see Elrond standing alone in the last shot though. GALADRIEL THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. She was amazing!! When she fell I was like “narrative parallels.” I like to think Elrond still has a healthy dose of fear of the rings but he loved her more than that fear. Also, Galadriel how did you survive the fall? Do have any explanations because I’m 🤷‍♀️ Maybe Morgoth’s crown had something to do with it or Nenya. Elrond getting mad over the texts is so me. Like yes king care about history and knowledge!

How have you been?

I LOVED IT. Honestly, this was one of the most epic masterpieces of TV. The battle? Absolute perfection. That scene between Annatar and Celebrimbor, with his almost Shakespearean prophecy, and Charles Edwards’ phenomenal performance? INCREDIBLE. THE BALROG LOOKED MAJESTIC. And when Durin, even in his grief, still sent an army to help Elrond, it had me wailing 😭 I KNEW the dwarves would come!!! I knew it!

Also, Elrond gets hotter with every episode. The moment with the ancient lore was so valid. I was furious when they destroyed it 😭 AND WHEN HE HEALED GALADRIEL??? If that’s the start of his healer arc, I will scream!!!

But it's bittersweet because now it’s over, and we have to wait another two years 🥲 (still desperately clinging to that one mention of "next year" in one of the interviews 🤞)

Thank you for the ask! 🫶🏻

[incorrectringsofpower]

In a land far, far away, there lived a young girl named Y/n. Y/n was an ordinary girl from Earth, living her everyday life until one day, she found herself falling into a portal that transported her to Middle Earth.

As she landed on the unfamiliar ground, Y/n looked around in awe at the majestic mountains and lush forests that surrounded her. She realized she was no longer in her own world, but in a place of magic and wonder.

As she wandered through the strange land, she stumbled upon a group of dwarves traveling through the forest. Among them was a handsome and brave dwarf named Fili Durin. Fili had a kind heart and a fierce spirit, and Y/n found herself drawn to him in a way she had never experienced before.

Fili was intrigued by the mysterious girl who had suddenly appeared in their midst, and he found himself captivated by her beauty and her spirit. As they traveled together, battling orcs and facing challenges along the way, their bond grew stronger.

Despite the differences in their worlds and the obstacles they faced, Y/n and Fili found themselves falling in love. Their love was like a flame in the darkness, burning brightly and fiercely, lighting up the shadows that surrounded them.

As they journeyed through Middle Earth together, their love only grew stronger with each passing day. Fili had never met anyone like Y/n before, and he knew in his heart that she was the one he had been searching for all along.

Y/n, too, knew that Fili was the one she had been waiting for. His courage, his loyalty, and his kindness touched her soul in a way she had never imagined possible. She knew that she had found her true love in him.

A true home (The hobbit Fanfic)

Chapter 7

Third Pov

Bilbo opened the door and there stood the majestic Thorin Oakenshield.

"Gandalf, I thought you said this place would be easy to find. I lost my way, twice. I wouldn't have found it at all had it not been for that mark on the door."

Gandalf closed the door behind Thorin. All the dwarves bowed in his presence. Bilbo pushed through the crowd, entering the hall. The girls followed behind him. Kate and Renee leaned against the wall while Lily stood behind Bilbo.

"Mark? There's no mark on that door, It was painted a week ago."

"There is a mark; I put it there myself. Bilbo Baggins, allow me to introduce the leader of our company, Thorin Oakenshield."

Thorin began walking around Bilbo like a vulture circling its prey.

'So this is the hobbit. Tell me, Mr. Baggins, have you done much fighting?"

"Pardon me?"

"Axe or sword? What is your weapon of choice?"

"Well, I do have some skill at Conkers, if you must know, but I fail to see why that's relevant."

"Thought as much. He looks more like a grocer than a burglar".

The dwarves laugh at Thorin's jest. He gives them a warm smile and walks himself down the hall. The girls glared at him.

Lilith's POV

I can't believe this asshole. I walked up to him furiously until I was right in front of him. I just glared at him.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? You have no right to disrespect our father like that. You are a fucking dick. If you ever say shit like that in front of me or my sisters about Papa, you can guarantee that I will personally murder you myself. And that's not a threat. That's a fucking promise, dipshit."

I looked him in the eyes to show how serious I was. It was so tense, you could cut it with a knife.

"Lilith, that's enough."

I turned to see Kate motioning me to stand next to her. I groaned but listened, walking to her side but not before giving Thorin a dirty look. As soon as I was close enough, she hit the back of my head and let me tell you, her hits are the worst. I pouted as I rubbed my head while Renée laughed at me. I just showed her the finger.

"I apologise for my sister, she's mentally unstable. But she is right,"

Kate walked up to Thorin and stood right in front of him, arms crossed with a glare.

"You owe our father an apology."

There was a pregnant pause before I looked at Renée and we both got the same idea. We turned to Kate and started clapping. Everyone looked at us.

"That's my girl. I knew you could be a bitch if you put your mind to it. Lily, we taught her well. Mama would be so proud."

I nodded with a grin. Kate just winked at us before turning back. Thorin looked in Kate's eyes once more before signing and smiling at her.

"You have heart, young one, My apologies Mr Baggins."

He nodded at Bilbo. Kate smiled and stood next to Renee who high fived me. I looked at Fili who grinned and winked at her, causing her to blush and look at the floor.

Renée's Pov

I walked up to Thorin and smiled.

"I apologise for that. I'm Renée, the lovely and crazy person who threatened you is Lilith, don't mind her. The other lovely yet scary person is Katherine but you can just call her Kate. Now that all of that is done, would you like some food? I bet you're exhausted from your journey."

Thorin smiled and thanked me for my kindness. I offered to take his coat and put it with the rest of his companions' things. I saved some soup and bread so I dished up the soup and gave it to him. I then stood off to the side and leaned against Lilith. I was so tired that I zoned out for the whole conversation.

Lilith's Pov

The dwarves sit around the table with Thorin, who picks at the soup Ren gave him. Gandalf sits beside him, smoking a pipe. Bilbo and Kate watched from the doorway. Renee was leaning against me as I leaned against the wall of the archway. I knew Ren was tired because she looked as if she was ready to go to bed.

"What news from the meeting in Ered Luin? Did they all come?"

"Aye. Envoys from all seven kingdoms."

"What did the dwarves of the Iron Hills say? Is Dain with us?"

Thorin hesitates, frowning. All eyes are on him. I knew that it wasn't good news.

"They will not come."

The dwarves groaned and sighed in disappointment.

"They say this quest is ours and ours alone."

"You're going on a quest?"

Bilbo looked at the dwarves, confused. Gandalf taps him on the shoulder.

"Bilbo, my dear fellow, let us have a little more light."

Bilbo left the room and came back with a candle. He set it down near Gandalf, who pulled out a map and spread it across the table as Kate came to stand by us, rubbing Ren's arm in a comforting way.

"Far to the east, over ranges and rivers, beyond woodlands and wastelands, lies a single solitary peak."

Gandalf points to a peak drawn on the map.

"The Lonely Mountain?"

Kate and Bilbo said at the same time as they peered down at the map. I smiled. They really are the same.

"Aye! Oin has read the portents and the portents say it is time."

"Ravens have been seen flying back to the mountain as it was foretold: when the birds of yore return to Erebor, the reign of the beast will end."

"What beast?"

"Well, that would be a reference to Smaug the Terrible, chiefest and greatest calamity of our age. Airborne fire-breather, teeth like razors, claws like meathooks. Extremely fond of precious metals."

"Yes, I know what a dragon is."

"The task to win back the mountain would be difficult enough with an army behind us. But we number just thirteen, and not thirteen of the best."

"We may be few in numbers, but we're fighters. All of us, to the last dwarf."

"And you forget, we have a wizard in our company. Gandalf must have killed hundreds of dragons in his time."

"Well, no, I wouldn't say that I -"

"How many then?"

"What?"

"How many dragons have you killed? Go on, give us a number!"

An embarrassed Gandalf started to cough on his pipe smoke. The dwarves groaned, hopeless. The girls and I tried to not to laugh but he was making it very hard. Thorin rose to his feet and shouted in a language that I didn't understand.

"If we have read these signs, do you not think others will have read them too? Rumours have begun to spread. The dragon Smaug has not been seen for sixty years. Eyes look east to the mountain, assessing, wondering, weighing the risk. Perhaps the vast wealth of our people now lies unprotected. Do we sit back as others claim what is rightfully ours? Or do we seize this chance to take back Erebor?"

The dwarves jumped up and cheered. Balin got to his feet and raised his voice.

"You forget, the front gate is sealed! There is no way into the mountain."

"That, my dear Balin, is not entirely true."

With a twiddle of his fingers, Gandalf produces a Dwarvish key ornately wrought. Thorin looks at it in wonder.

"How came you by this?"

"It was given to me by your father, by Thrain, for safekeeping. It is yours now."

Gandalf hands the key to Thorin. Everyone looks on in a proud astonishment.

"If there is a key, there must be a door."

"No fucking shit Sherlock. What the fuck did you think the key was for? A Window that you guys need to climb through?"

At this I can hear the girls chuckling. However most of the company didn't seem to have heard me.

"These ruins speak of another passage into the lower halls."

The wizard points to runes on the map. Kate looked at them and it almost looked like she understood what it said.

"There's another way in."

"No duh hey! Jesus, you two are fucking idiots I swear to the gods. What are you expecting the key does? Suddenly turn into a carpet and fly you in?"

I said I'm already sick of the two idiots my sisters have fallen for.

"Well, if we can find it, but dwarf doors are invisible when closed. The answer lies hidden somewhere in this map and I do not have the skill to find it. But there are others in Middle Earth who can."

The dwarves looked at him, listening carefully. I noticed Renée perked up so she stopped leaning on me and walked to Gandalf .

"The task I have in mind will require a great deal of stealth, and no small amount of courage. But, if we are careful and clever, I believe that it can be done."

"That's why we need a burglar."

"A good one too. An expert, I'd imagine."

"And are you?"

Bilbo freezes, half confused, half afraid. I walked up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Am I what?"

"He said he's an expert!"

"Me? No, no, no, I'm not a burglar. I've never stolen a thing in my

Life."

"I'm afraid I have to agree with Mr. Baggins. He's hardly burglar material".

"Aye, the wild is no place for gentlefolk who can neither fight nor fend for themselves."

As Dwalin said that he looked at us. Renée gave him her scary glare and Bilbo just nodded. Kate shook her head as I just rolled my eyes.

Renée's Pov

I can't believe this man. I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.

"Excuse me? You think that we are gentle? Oh honey, we are anything but gentle. We don't need anyone saving us and especially not you lot. We can fight just as well as anyone can with the proper training. Lilith is very good with swords and axes not to mention she did martial arts. Kate is brilliant at throwing daggers and pretty decent with swords. She's also done self-defence and martial arts. I'm great at archery and swords. I've done martial arts and we are very flexible so we can easily get out of tight situations. So don't think for one fucking minute that we are weak. And that goes for the rest of you. We aint no fucking damsels in distresses, Well maybe Kate but still."

Kate hit the back of my head and I pulled my tongue. She always does that. No wonder I have no more brain cells left. I went to where Lilith was and pouted. She just rolled her eyes at me. Meanie.

"Hobbits are remarkably light on their feet! In fact, they can go unseen by most if they choose. And while the dragon is accustomed to the smell of dwarf, the scent of a hobbit is all but unknown to him which gives us a distinct advantage."

Gandalf turns to Thorin, determined to make his point.

"You asked me to find the fourteenth member of this company and I have chosen Mr. Baggins. There's a lot more to him than appearances suggest, and he's got a great deal to offer than any of you know, including himself. You must trust me on this."

Thorin sighs. He scans the room, weighing the outcome.

"Very well, we'll do it your way. Give him our contract.'

Balin hands it to Bilbo. Kate and Bilbo looked through it and spoke aloud. I zoned out and I didn't hear the rest of the conversation. I don't know why but this scene looks just like the one in my dream. I felt like I knew what was going to happen next.

I looked at Bilbo and noticed how pale he was getting. I moved closer to him. He stopped for a second and fainted but before he could touch the ground, I caught him.

"Nice job. Really great job,"

I glared at Bofur. Kate sighed and helped me take him to his chair. Lilith took Thorin's bowl and washed it up. When we were done, the girls and I walked to Thorin and Balin.

"Um excuse me, I was wondering if we could come with. I mean we might be of some help. If you need an extra burger, I could help. I'm very good at it. And Lilith is very good at healing and shit. She has some...experience with wounds. Kate is also very good at coming up with cool and very effective distractions."

Lilith helped me out and so did Kate. The two dwarves seemed hesitant but they listened nonetheless We managed to convince them in the end. We signed a spare contract that Balin had. I first read through it and asked questions to be safe.

We gave it back to them before bidding them good night and packing our bags with whatever we needed. Kate went to tell Bilbo. We brought our stuff to where the dwarves' stuff were to save time in the morning.

We made sure that we had the next day's outfit ready. We came in and sat on the floor. Everyone started humming.

My eyes felt heavy so I gave into the darkness and leaned against Lily. I can't wait for this next adventure. I just hope that we can prevent the end of the line of Durin. I will do whatever I can to save them.

This is for @hobbityalse who wanted to see some platonic Bofur and Bilbo. Thank you for this! I had a lot of fun with the duo. 🥰

Shadow Puppets

Characters: Bilbo & Bofur

Type of Treat: Fluffy platonic

Word Count: 673

Bofur knew there would be a lot of work to do once they arrived in Erebor. He certainly wasn’t one to shy away from it. If anything, the fact that he was a rich dwarf just made the job more enjoyable! He got to pick and choose his jobs instead of taking anything available. So when Thorin asked for volunteers to investigate the mining tunnels, Bofur found that a fairly easy job to put his stone sense to good use. That’s when he saw the hobbit sitting by himself.

Bilbo was like Bofur in the sense that he liked being useful, but there were a significant number of jobs that were beyond the scope of a hobbit in a dwarf’s world. Thorin thought he was doing Bilbo a favor as he already felt guilty over how much the hobbit did to get them there. However, Bofur could see the truth of the matter. Picking up a lantern, he passed the handle into the surprised hobbit’s hands.

“Come on. Let’s do a little bit of exploring.”

Bilbo popped up immediately. “Oh! Um, of course! If you’re sure?”

“Aye! You’re good at maps, and I’m good at reading stone. It’s the perfect job for us.”

Bilbo gave a pleased smile and a nod, lighting the candle in the center of the lantern before pressing forward after Bofur. It amused him a bit at how seriously the hobbit took to the task, but Bilbo really did prove to be the best assistant. He already had a good sense for the layout of the mountain, and only really was confused if they took one too many turns. Bilbo explained that the Shire was also built with winding paths, and that’s why he wasn’t as directionally stunted as most non-dwarves. Bofur was willing to accept that the hobbit was just that intelligent. In any case, they had put in a hard day’s work, and deserved a little treat.

“Set the lantern down on that ledge there, Bilbo. I think it’s high time you saw my secret talent.”

The hobbit looked skeptical, especially as Bofur twisted his fingers into odd shapes. Then his eyes turned to the wall, and he gave a delighted chuckle as Bofur had his bunny continue nibbling on his carrot.

“Shadow puppets! My father used to be so good at these.” Bilbo confessed, taking a seat on the ground.

“Mine too.” Bofur stated before changing the bunny into the mouth of a dragon.

Bilbo looked a bit ill. “Maybe a little too close for comfort.”

Bofur chuckled. “Aye, ya might be right about that. Here, I’ve got the best one yet.”

It was a bit of work, but he managed to manipulate his hands to look like a dwarven warrior. But not any warrior. It was very close to resembling…

“It’s Dwalin!” Bilbo blurted before laughing himself silly.

Bofur chuckled as well before doing his best impersonation of the warrior.

“I don’ trust anyone, unless it's my own axeheads.”

Bilbo fell to the ground, rolling in laughter. “Wait! Wait! Wait! I can make this better!” He gasped.

Adding onto Bofur’s fingers, Bilbo added his own to give the dwarf majestic flowing locks and…

“I don’t get it. What’s supposed to be on his forehead there?”

“It’s Thorin’s scowl!”

Bofur was finally able to recognize what was meant to be eyebrows rising well above his skull, and the dwarf lost it. He and Bilbo laughed long and hard, clenching their stomachs at the pain from such joy. When they finally calmed down, backs against the cool stone, Bilbo spoke up, his voice still pinched with amusement.

“Thank you for that, Bofur. I really needed it.”

Bofur patted the hobbit’s shoulder as best he could. “Anytime. I think you’ve perfected your Thorin impression of silently glaring into the distance.”

That got the two of them rolling again, and when Thorin found them later, tears in their eyes. He could only glare and shake his head, not sure why that had the both of them laughing at him.
