The Hobbit Characters' Favorite Body Part of Yours
Another one I did for LoTR a while back but not The Hobbit so here we go 😌 warning: slightly suggestive at times, one minor swear
Balin
Upon first asking, you might not know, may not even so much as consider your love as having a favorite. Greater thought yields memory, however, a realization. Balin has a soft spot for your forehead- loves pressing kisses there, quick bursts of reassurance when you are under stress or sick. Moments of affection for all to see, pure, loving, gentle. That would also explain his habit of playfully butting his forehead to yours or the way he keeps you connected before and after longer kisses.
Dwalin
It’s no secret how much Dwalin adores your legs- his eyes are ever upon you as you throw them over a saddle, bare them to wade, rest them atop his lap and give him a pretty smile when he strokes them. Straddling him is a quick way to catch his attention and earn a smile to boot, your dwarf’s hands going immediately to rub circles on your hips and his eyes completely caught up in you. Whispers of all kinds of affections make their way between you as Dwalin savors the moment, pressing your bodies as close as he can get them.
Thorin
An anchor can always be found simply by looking into your eyes. A fount of trust and care, one look can take Thorin miles in calm and reassurance, especially when it feels like all is against him. Your eyes speak volumes even if your expression is kept in steel, aiding Thorin in his quest to fulfil all your desires. Memorizing every change in your eyes is his greatest goal, forging a connection so strong you needn't any words to convey it. You look to his, too, glancing at him in moments of amusement, derision, desire. All of them bonding you further and further, warming his heart to know he is the first you wish to see, just as you are the first thought in the king's own mind.
Oin
Your chest. Not so much for the stereotypical reasons, but simply because of the way it literally holds your heart. Your gentle rhythm, your very source of life and the warmth Oin seeks out again and again. He secretly loves resting his head there where he can listen to it, let it lull him to sleep. If you allow it the healer’s lips will find purchase there, peppering their love over your heart and along your beautiful collarbones in appreciation of the wonderful life you are.
Gloin
His hands run over or comb through your hair about as often as they can; no matter the length of it, no matter the texture or the way you wear it you will have a guardian of your hair in Gloin. He makes no secret how proud he is of the honor he’s received to be the only one that can touch it. And alright, yes, perhaps he likes to show it off, too! If it is long enough, he braids your hair as soon as you consent to it, and he’ll bother his brother again and again for anything that helps care for it. Even the most elaborate of styles and routines will become second nature to him- soon you will not even be lifting a finger. The others say he’s spoiling you, to which he says “Damn right!”
Bifur
Your hands hold a special place in Bifur's heart; they symbolize your willingness to learn, the opening of your heart to someone so many closed off to, and who closed off to them in turn. The little gestures you made chipping away at his heart and bolstering his faith. You seek his attention, wave them to show him little wonders just as he does. They form words and phrases, sometimes even capturing thoughts you wish to share with no one but him. Even when static, they can communicate much- how tightly you hold onto his, the way they rest against his chest right above his heartbeat, trace his cheek to initiate a kiss he never thought he'd earn.
Bofur
Can’t resist your lips. They’re like the sweetest of candies, the greatest prize he gets to claim and him alone. Bofur never takes for granted his luck, practically worshipping your lips as he takes his sweet time with them. And who else does he have to thank for your gorgeous smile, the blessing of sunshine it brings to the world? His mission in life is to keep that smile sticking around as much as possible. And if it’s against his own smile, why he won’t complain in the slightest, simply surrendering to the wash of euphoria and thanking his lucky stars.
Bombur
Your cheeks, of course! Irresistibly adorable, Bombur loves to see the curve of them as you smile, any flush that might be visible, especially if you are feeling shy. Of course he loves to kiss them, holding you steady and peppering them with sweet love at any opportunity. Even before longer, more passionate kisses he will make his way along your cheeks first. Bombur wants to be the only one to wipe your beautiful face of any tears that may befall it, his touch so gentle as he comforts you, swiping his thumb over your cheek before you're in his arms completely, enveloped in each other's lovely warmth.
Dori
Dori loves your eyes; he often describes how when you first met, he could see your heart straight through them. Windows to the soul, subtle tells of emotion and love and things otherwise unseen, he loves to gaze into them as long as you let him. There is a kindness, a sympathy to them that grounds Dori, gives him faith when his has left him, brings calm. He loves also the way they darken, the burns of passion, flames of battle, or even looks of beckoning desire flaring up from deeper within. Such is part of why he so enjoys nights where you lay facing one another, tracing every shift in those very windows, the access one can gain from study.
Nori
Obsessed with your hips. Loves gripping them to pull you against his chest, especially if they have plenty of soft flesh to dig his fingers into. Sneaks up behind you to wrap his hands around them and press kisses to your neck. Having a hand wrapped protectively around your hip or reaching into your pocket are moments of clear intimacy, a way for Nori to show off that you're his and he's yours, no one else's. The feeling of your hips against his is pure bliss, so tug him in upon the beltloops of his trousers to give him a grin nothing will wipe off!
Ori
Your entire face is his favorite, the ever-changing expressions and of course your smile. He can try to capture each and every variation, but that would take an age. As long as he wishes he could have with you. Your smile is like pure sunshine to him, your every furrow and twitch a treasure trove of information he hopes to be able to read like a book to be at your side with what you need in an instant. Your face projects your heart and soul in the most encapsulating, beautiful way, and the very sight of it never fails to bring Ori a rush of emotion.
Fili
He favors your thighs, loves the sturdy form of them and the soft skin of he can dig his hands into. Revels ever in the sensation of your legs tangling with his every time you sit together and he holds you on his lap, gesture of lifting you up onto him punctuated with a squeeze or two or three. Your shared moments of leisure are nothing short of treasure, the way you face him and peer into his eyes, one arms slung around your waist and the other hand tracing patterns on your thigh, falling into your warmth and softness like a trap he never wants to escape.
Kili
Shows a lot of love to your shoulders. He has his habit of kissing all the way up to your arm, but you also notice it when he playfully comes up behind you and lifts you off your feet, burying his head between your neck and shoulders. If your hair is long, sweeping it off your shoulder to replace it with his cheek or lips is so utterly romantic in Kili's mind. Same goes for baring them, sliding your top down or playfully unbuttoning it for access. And what better way to help you relax after a strenuous day than a massage, running his hands gently over your shoulders and kneading tension from your neck and back?
Bilbo
There's just something about your nose- the shape of it, the little ways it twitches and gives away the smallest expressions. Wrinkling in displeasure often shared with Bilbo himself and bringing moments of laughter amidst everything. A look shared between you two, after all, speaks volumes and strengthens your bond all at once, bringing a smile to Bilbo's face that he has one he can read so well. In your more affectionate moments the hobbit loves to pull you close, placing a kiss upon your adorable nose before moving down to peck your lips again and again, his own curving upward in contentment at your proximity.
Lindir
Your hands. True works of art and their creators all in one. Purveyors of your passion, be they plucking instruments, spreading paint across a canvas, delicately turning pages upon discoveries… Lindir could watch them work forever. Not to mention the shivers that run down his spine when they fall upon him, the sparks when those very same hands that bring forth beauty and command passion caress his face, bringing him eagerly to your delicious lips. Much as he enjoys their actions in freedom, sometimes he desires to keep them for himself, holding their warmth in his, intertwining your beautiful fingers and kissing the back of your hand to display the very connection of your souls.
Thranduil
Your neck, oh that gorgeous expanse, is the subject of much attention by Thranduil. Trailing kisses up its entirety before claiming your lips, even letting his teeth sink in ever so slightly. The woodland king's favorite method of distracting you while you work is to sneak his way behind you, hands reaching to your waist, head tilting, lips upon your neck. You can practically feel them smirk against you at the way you automatically tilt your own head to grant him access. Thranduil wants all to see that you belong to him, not as a possession, but as a promise he works to honor in all facets; thus, he indulges his love of adorning you with the most extravagant jewels he can find, standing you against his chest as he drapes his gift over your neck. For who but the king could provide such things? Tracing his hand over the jewels, he kisses your collarbones before his lips seek their favorite home.
Bard
There is something so alluring about your back- the way it is bared only for him, the tensing and shifting of muscles beneath flesh and the wonderful soft bits he can hold onto. Unable to resist running his hands up and down your spine when he holds and kisses you, Bard gets double the pleasure feeling the shivers he sends running down your skin. Plus such an area is a much more discreet place for love bites he may leave when he holds you from behind, placing kissed along your shoulders and neck.
Beorn
Beorn admires your arms. The strength they carry, the ripple of muscle with their every motion. Beyond the practical, he appreciates also the softer moments, the times you both surrender to vulnerability, arms wrapping tenderly around each other and your head falling against him gently. Trust for so long was a rarity, and yet her he is giving it, surrendering to your arms. In pauses from work Beorn often strides over to stand at your back, his hands rubbing your shoulders and trailing down your arms as he beckons you to come rest. Your eagerness brings rare smiles to his face and the way you flex your muscles even gets a laugh out of him.

That’s My Emotional Support Wife!
Legolas x Female!Accident Prone!Reader
Fandom: The Hobbit
Legolas and (Y/N) had courted for about a decade before finally deciding to marry.  (Y/N) was the daughter of Lord Elrond, just slightly younger than Arwen, and after marriage she moved to Mirkwood to live with Legolas and her father-in-law the King, Thranduil.  Legolas didn’t mind how accident prone (Y/N) was, sometimes it was even sort of cute.  And now there are 13 dwarves in the cells of Mirkwood having to be dealt with whilst the Elves continue their parties, patrols and usual antics that the dwarves were unaware of until that day.
Requests: Closed. Requested: no.
Warning(s): None.
Note: This is sort of silly, so if you enjoy a fun fanfiction, this is the one to read! (Y/C) - stands for (Your Choice) and (Your Colour).
Word Count: 2,021
[Third Person Perspective]
Tumblr media
(I couldn’t find any attached link to this picture from Pinterest, but it was under the account name “The Facegirl” when I found it. They seem cool from what I checked out.)
The dwarves were not happy to be locked up in the cells of Mirkwood under King Thranduil’s rule.  The elves would just pass by here and there as if it was an ordinary path to take.  These cells weren’t in dungeons or anything like you might expect, for the bars of the cells were incredibly tough and strong.  Therefore, there was no need to put the cells in such an inconvenient spot and instead it was closer to the main area where most Wood Elves just wandered through.  (This was also best as the Woodland Realm almost never had prisoners to jail).
So, the dwarves were trapped in their cells, waiting for Thorin to join them (hopefully with good news).  They’d tried breaking out of the cell in whatever way they could think.  From slamming against the bars with their shoulders, to kicking them with their legs and shaking them with their hands.  But still the cell bars held strong.  Bofur was the first to actually observe the elves, rather than sneer and ignore them like the others.  The others didn’t wish to make eye-contact or even look in their general direction.
Bofur watched, as many elves walked through speaking elvish and looking graceful.  Some elves were so graceful when they walked it looked almost as if they were floating across the floor, not even touching the ground.  He struggled to tell who was male and who was female, but the sounds of their voices definitely helped - even if he couldn’t understand their language.
Eventually he saw a beautiful elf with (Y/C) hair and (Y/C) eyes.  His?  Her? Dress was a beautiful mixture of pink and purple that fell past their ankles and hid their feet.  Thus, they appeared to be floating as they walked.  Bofur smiled, appreciating how beautiful the elves could truly be.  How graceful and--and she walked into a wall.  This got the dwarves quietly chuckling from they cells.
Even Dwalin was hiding his snicker.  They would laugh more openly, but they were in foul moods and didn’t want to anger the elves when the elves had an advantage against them.  The elf maiden didn’t seem to mind - hearing their chuckles with her good hearing - and laughed with them.  A shadow crossed the floor and Legolas landed with perfection as he came to check on his wife.  The dwarves’ faces immediately molded into scowls at the sight of the rude elf that found them and cast them into their cells.
They continued to watch as Legolas checked his wife’s face for cuts and smiled when she was cleared to be okay.  He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and took her hand, walking her to the staircase to continue her on her path.  She was not halfway up the staircase when she tripped and fell.  Luckily, Legolas was used to this and simply caught her and gracefully carried her the rest of the way.  He set her back down on the marble floors, kissed the back of her hand and returned to his position up high, watching over the area.  She curtsied and although the dwarves could not hear - or understand it - she thanked him.  “Ni ‘lassui en, Legolas.”
An hour later, Thorin joined his company in the cells.  He simply explained how he had not taken any deal with King Thranduil and that all the Elves could...well...let’s not translate that now.  The dwarves were upset by this news, feeling like they’d be trapped forever.  But Thorin knew there was a Bilbo Baggins somewhere out there.  And he would help free them.  He was sure of it.  Bilbo was not so sure.  Every time he thought he had a clear path to descend to the cells, suddenly a bunch of elves walked by.  He was thankful the ring he found made him invisible.
Some were going to patrol outside, some were laughing and telling jokes in Elvish, some were carrying wine and food, or decorations and others were reading a lovely looking book as they walked by.  The thing is this: Bilbo didn’t have many openings to sneak past and not bump into someone.  So instead he decided to follow them for a brief moment and saw them setting up a sort of party.  With decorations and a clear view of the sky where Bilbo could see the tinges of orange and pink beginning to appear in the clouds.
There were tables lined with bottles of wine and kegs of wine and cups for the wine.  There were a few tables of food, but mostly it was wine.  With lots of seats, some elves already perched on the staircases and some elves sitting up high on ledges already getting drunk.  Many were singing and some were possibly telling poems?  Or stories?  Bilbo wasn’t quite sure but it was a merry gathering that was forming.
‘Well,’  Bilbo decided to himself, ‘Time to find those dwarves.’  And so he walked back the way he came, sneaking down corridors of marble and past beautiful pillars with beautiful, intricate carvings running down them.  Soon his eyes laid upon, a (Y/C) haired elf with a beautiful dress and stunning eyes.  She was reading a book as she walked absentmindedly.  He decided to follow her and see where he ended up.
They walked for almost half an hour when he heard the familiar, grumpy dwarves’ voices as they hushedly whispered to each other in Khuzdul.  ‘Finally,’ Bilbo thought excitedly, ‘I’ve found them!’  He waited behind the she-elf, watching where she was headed.  By the time he realized she was about to walk down a flight of stairs and possibly injure herself, a blond elf was by her side with an arm around her waist.  Legolas was so accustomed to stopping his wife from falling down stairs it was almost a daily thing to catch her and gently lead her away.
“A, Legolas.”  She smiled to her lover with such a soft gaze he felt sure to melt under it.  Although the dwarves did not know it, ‘A’ was Elvish for ‘Hi’.  However, they simply thought it was an exclamation like the English ‘Ah’ when one realizes they almost walked off the top step of a flight of stairs.
However, (Y/N) was so accident prone she was no longer surprised when someone stopped her from walking into a wall, or a door, or out a window and this case was no different.  Bruises and cuts from falling down stairs was common for our silly she-elf lady.  Legolas sighed fondly.  “Hiril vuin, please do fall down the stairs before a most wonderful celebration.”  ‘Hiril vuin’ was Elvish for ‘my lady’ and was a sweet and simple way for Legolas to remain caring, but serious, in front of the dwarvish prisoners.
Bofur spoke up with a chuckle from the cells below, “Is falling down the stairs a common occurrence?  I would love to see such a performance everyday!”  He joked.  The dwarves laughed in agreement except for Oin who could barely hear what Bofur said.
“What did he say?”  He asked Gloin who was in the cell beside him.  His question went unanswered as Gloin continued to loudly laugh.  Legolas glared down at the cells whilst (Y/N) simply laughed with the dwarves.  She had a wonderful sense of humour - she has two older and fun twin brothers after all - and she was also used to these jokes which made it even more fun in her opinion!
Once the laughter had settled down a bit (Y/N) chuckled out, “I knew I should’ve been the King’s jester!”  and the howls of laughter sprung back up again.  Their thunderous voices bounced of the walls and echoed through the building.  Even Legolas and Bilbo chuckled at (Y/N)’s joke.  As the dwarves continued to laugh, crack jokes and sometimes just rest in silence, Legolas decided to simply ignore them and inquire about his wife’s current book.  “Oh!  It’s a book of Elvish poems and short love stories.  I fell in love with it after reading the first couple of love poems.  It even has some poems specifically to be read just before you sleep.  Oh!  I’ll find one of my favourites for you!”
She began to carefully flip back through the previously read pages, keeping her bookmark on her current page as she did so.  Bilbo took this chance to quietly sneak past the couple and down the stairs to the cells in order to look for the keys.  Legolas smiled adoringly as his wife quietly muttered the poem titles until she found the one she was looking for.  Although the Elvish is truly beautiful and wonderful to read, here’s the English equivalent instead:
“ Your Divine Beauty,
The stars crown your head, As you rest peacefully in bed, And the moon bathes you in its’ light, Kissing you with all its’ might.
Such beauty even the sun bows down, So its’ colours may reflect onto your white gown. Pink, orange and gold, Dare not touch or enfold.
For they will not dare, To hide your beauty nor ensnare.”
Although Bilbo and the dwarves had no clue what she said as it was in Elvish, still they folded to the sound of her melodic voice when she read aloud her favourite poem.  Legolas gently kissed her forehead when she was finished and sighed wistfully.  “I adore that poem so much now.”  He smiled down as their foreheads rested together.
“I’m glad you liked it, dear.”  She grinned, returning his kiss with a giggle.  Only a moment had passed when they heard approaching footsteps.  Bilbo snuck back to a corner in case they should pass him and the dwarves returned to their original scowls as two Elven guards came to a stop in front of the couple.  The woman curtsied to the guards and they returned with a bow.
“We’re sorry to interrupt, but the celebrations are beginning.”  They explained, carefully watching Legolas’ eyes as he sighed.
“Very well.  Then I shall not keep you any longer, my dear.  Please, go enjoy yourself and do not wait up for me.  I will join you shortly after I have finished my patrol over the cells.”  Legolas kissed his wife’s hand with a tenderness and care you only hear and see in romance books.
“Thank-you, darling.  I shall join them, but I shall still wait for you.”  She grinned with a cheeky glint to her eyes.
“Why do I bother to tell you to not wait, you don’t listen anyway.”  He chuckled sweetly.  “Very well.  Now go, before my father is disappointed with both of us being absent.”
“Ah, yes, I should hurry then.  Take care, darling, and try not to roughen up the dwarves too much.”  She kissed him once more before leaving with the guards to the celebrations.  Legolas sighed wistfully once more and did not move until she was safe out of sight with the guards.  He trusted them to catch her if she should fall.
But even if she is injured, they have healers that are always pre-prepared for her anyway.  He turned back and before he could ascend back to his post, the dwarves spoke up.
“So she and you are...well...together, huh?”
“She’s my emotional support wife.”  Legolas grinned mischievously, knowing fully well she could still hear them with her excellent Elvish hearing.  A second later his ears heard her voice in the distance,
“I heard that!”  And he smiled hearing her voice once more.
“You’ll do well to not disrespect her whilst you’re here.”  Legolas stared the dwarves down as he finally returned to his post, just out of their line of sight above them.  The dwarves rolled their eyes and proceeded to taunt him with funny comments anyway.  All were harmless, but they were fishing for a reaction from Legolas so they did their best to make it sound almost like insults.  He didn’t care enough to hear though, he was ignoring them and mentally reciting his wife’s favourite poem so when she was having a bad sick day he’d know it off by heart.

Replying to your request for prompts:
Could you write a super cute fic of Reader being on the quest with the other dwarves, and having extreme menstrual cramps, and the dwarves being overly gentle, kind, and worrying? maybe even thorin uncharacteristically gently rubbing her back as she curls up beneath her blanket?
The Company When You Have Cramps
Tumblr media
warnings: female parts/female reader, menstruation, cramps, lmk if there's anything else !!
having woman parts sucked. and you were well aware of this when you set out on the journey to The Lonely Mountain with Thorin's company and prepared accordingly.
however, what you weren't prepared for, was cramps so bad they could rival the power of the gods (or so you thought).
you had carried on traveling for as long as could until the pain was quiet literally unbearable and you were ready to double over and just lay in the middle of the road.
at first you thought that the others would be mad or just tell you to suck it up and keep moving, but actually it was the exact opposite. they stopped and started setting up camp for the night and Oin even asked why you didn't speak up sooner seeing as you where in so much discomfort.
they didn't have any issues with you rolling out your bed mat and curling up like a ball with your blanket while they set up camp. you wished you help but you were in so much pain you didn't even think you could get up if you wanted to.
Bomber started cooking shortly after everything was set up and the fire was started. Oin had mixed together some herbs and it dulled the pain slightly but it wasn't much help, you were still in a lot of pain.
dwarves don't have a lot of women in their ranks, so imagine they take these struggles and the pain that women go though very seriously. they treat their women with the upmost respect and care.
as you laid there curled up with your head just barely peaking out from over your blanket Thorin came and squatted down in front of you. he has a sister, so I imagine he's pretty familiar with the struggles you're dealing with.
"how are you feeling?" he asks and after a moment you sit up properly next to him. "pretty shit actually."
he chuckles at your remark and hands you some warm soup, when you take it he moves his hand away to rub your back soothingly. the others are pretty preoccupied so they don't notice his sweet gesture, but you're very grateful for it.
Oin gives you more herbs after you eat and Ori joins you for a bit to talk and ask if you're alright. Fili and Kili also join you to joke around for a bit and try and get you to take your mind off the miserable state you were in. this actually works.
Bilbo also joins in on just talking with you when the others have to go do stuff like snuff out the fire or start their turn keeping watch. he brings you water and snacks/more food because food makes everything better. He is also the only one who thought to get something heated for you to put on your stomach.
he takes your water pack and as the fire is going down he places it close by and lets it heat up for a while, then he gives it you. he's very sad he doesn't have tea to offer you.
every once in a while someone will come up to you and ask if you're ok and if you need anything. just as everyone was getting ready for bed Thorin checks on you again and Oin gives you some herbs for sleep.
when you wake up you're convinced that whatever Oin gave you before you went to sleep wasn't just to ease pain and make you tired because you felt better than ever. you definitely had a spring in your step for the rest of the day.
the company was glad to see you feeling better and you helped them clean up and get back on the road. no one complained about having to stop and instead checked up on you throughout the journey to make sure you were still feeling ok.
anyway all of these guys are angles and I love them. they would def be worried and would tell you that if you're ever in pain from cramps or something again to let them know so they could stop for a bit and give you herbs.
(also if Gandalf was around when you were dealing with all that he def would've sat there with his pipe and let you smoke some of it. You know, just to keep you relaxed lol).

It's Canon that Bilbo was banned from getting scissors to cut his hair. Because the dwarrow would cry about how perfect and lovely Bilbo's hair is. Dori even fainted when Bilbos successfully cut a bit of his hair.
So Thorin took a upon himself to make sure Bilbo doesn't get the scissors privileges.

How Thorin’s Company Acts Around Their Crush
Hope all who celebrate had a wonderful Christmas! Since I’ve gotten some requests for The Hobbit characters as well I thought I would start with my usual beginning! Yes I’m repping ALL of them 😤😂 you can imagine the older members’ as taking place when they were younger or not…depends how you like it 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
Tumblr media
Balin
✧ As his feelings for you grow, so too does his care for you. As if by magic he always seems to know where you are and what you need. Being more subtle and witty with his feelings, Balin is not the easiest to decipher in terms of intention but you can be damn sure you know he cares.
✧ Shares stories with you, tales of his ancestors or days as a young dwarf roaming the mountain halls, chuckling warmly at your reactions.
✧ There to catch you whenever you fall, hands gently gripping your waist as he asks if you’re all right.
✧ Tells you how much the others like you, especially if those around you are a bit tough about it. Balin hears and sees a lot more in his position so he is quick to reassure you.
✧ “Let me get one last look at you before I go- that’s all the energy I need.”
✧ Balin loves to hear your voice, so his guilty pleasure is asking you to read to him whenever you get a moment’s peace- please indulge him, he’ll be so relaxed and content!
Dwalin
✧ Acts like he's just going along with your ideas or whims, but in reality you're wrapped around his finger and he'll do anything for you, not to mention go anywhere so he can ensure you're protected. The way he always makes jokes for you and shows off in your presence may make it easier to tell how he feels!
✧ Offers you a drink at any opportunity, bringing you a mug or glass of whatever you prefer most, even if it’s just water.
✧ Playfully spars with you if you’re game, complimenting your form and encouraging you to try more daring moves.
✧ Does anything in his power to make you comfortable and stand up for you. The log you’re sitting on is uncomfortable? He stands right up then and there to carve it down. If he sees an orc get a strike in on you you’ll know who’d getting beheaded next.
✧ Laughs at jokes he wouldn’t normally, like if the others tease him Dwalin will probably smack them or snark back, but if you say it he’ll just laugh and roll his eyes, maybe lightly elbow you.
✧ I’m pretty sure it’s both book and movie canon that this man dwarf plays the violin??? So you know he is going to whip it out to impress you! And maybe it’ll make for an excuse to dance and sing together too!
Thorin
✧ Thorin is the sort to orchestrate his entire romance to a T, so you will not be able to decipher his intentions until the exact moment he plans to tell you, and that will take some time getting to know and trust you.
✧ Always moves you behind him when danger strikes, readying himself in a moment to stand in and defend you. If you've been separated, you're the first person he seeks to check on.
✧ “Give me your hand.” Anytime the terrain is rough or you could fall, Thorin takes your hand in his to gently but firmly guide you over/across it.
✧ It’s hard sometimes to defer to others especially with all the pressure of being king, but Thorin is intentionally very considerate with you, asking for your input and following your counsel.
✧ Drapes his coat over your shoulders if he sees you looking cold, his hands lingering a bit longer than necessary…
✧ Rather than tell his story, Thorin prefers to ask yours- he wants to know where you came from and why you care about the things you do. If nothing else he craves a feeling of understanding passing between you two, a deeper relation and connection. He’s not afraid to ask deep questions like if what legacy would you most like to leave behind or the most important character trait in your eyes because his partner needs to share his values and be comfortable with deep discussions.
Oin
✧ His biggest tell is the way he dials up the gentleman act for you and only you, behaving so much more politely and attentively.
✧ Sometimes people don’t take the time to have conversations with him due to his hearing difficulties, so he makes sure to be extremely attentive and show his appreciation whenever you talk to him. Expressive listening and reactions are his specialty!
✧ Having skills as a healer, Oin does anything in his area of expertise to ease your travels, whether it’s pain relief, soothing oils for your muscles, steam treatments for your breathing, etc.
✧ He knows a lot of games, too, so if you’d like Oin would love to sit down and teach you some. If you ever look bored or down he will approach you with cards or dice in hand asking if you’d like to while away some time or thoughts.
✧ In turn, any hobby you have is something he’d be eager to learn about. You like to see? Show him how! You paint? Well, what do you make your paints out of? He wants to find a way to support your joys.
✧ Does silly things behind the others’ backs when only you can see, making fun of them or just shaking his head no if they give bad advice. Acts completely innocent even if they catch you laughing.
Gloin
✧ The ability to speak one's intent and feelings clearly, perhaps even with a bit of poetry, definitely runs in his family 😌 He will pay you the best compliments you've ever heard, leaving you to wonder what wheels are turning in his mind as he speaks them.
✧ Unafraid of telling you how nice your outfit looks on you whether it’s the color or the fit or, as is most likely, both! Tells you, in fact, that you’re more beautiful than any gem he’s ever seen.
✧ Teaches you how to play all his favorite tavern games! Subsequently always asks for you to be his partner at them.
✧ “Oh, you’ve got a little…” Extending a hand, he gently removes a small leaf from your hair, gently brushing it back into place.
✧ Won’t give the others the time of day if you’re talking to him. “Can’t you see I’m talking to them and not you?”
✧ Becomes your designated lifter of heavy objects and opener of difficult things, flexing as he tells you that pretty much everyone comes to him for it (even if it isn’t true) 😌
Bifur
✧ Absolutely becomes a showoff whenever he sees you, especially when he's sparring. You're like an energy of your own, bringing him new vigor and passion to overtake his enemy before he flashes you a smile. It's fairly obvious what he's doing, but you can't deny its effectiveness.
✧ Gets you familiar with his signs so he can spill the tea about the others when they aren’t looking 👀
✧ Elbows you lightly to get your attention, then waves at you or wiggles his eyebrows teasingly when you peer at him.
✧ Strings together some beads he has on hand along with some pretty rocks that he found to make you a little necklace or bracelet! Looks so proud as he holds it up for you too 🥺
✧ Gives it his all in every fight where you’re in harm’s way too because it’s not just about him making it out anymore.
✧ Sharpens your weapons for you without you even having to ask 😌
Bofur
✧ Bofur is incredibly sweet around the one who draws his attention, always smiling when you look his way and address him and always laughing at your jokes. His actions could be seen as just friendly but he's incredibly generous and giving around you which is a bit of a tell.
✧ Starts breaking touch barriers! Just with little things like resting a hand on your shoulder as he teases you or expresses sympathy, offering a helping hand to stand back up, or taking your hand or wrist to look at your jewelry.
✧ Yours is the first hand he reaches for when Bofur starts up a song and dance. He holds you so gently but twirls you so eagerly, a smile on his face for you the whole time!
✧ Hype man. Believes in you like it’s a given- of course you look amazing, go on, you can do it, don’t be scared, they’ll love it. In his words, “Don’t dull that great shine you’ve got.”
✧ Sharing little running jokes is his favorite. Whether you two were the only ones to catch another company member say something ridiculous or Bofur was the one you shared a certain story or fact with, he loves those little points of connection and will never let them die.
✧ Loves to take care of you, so when you’re seated together at meals he’ll load your plate and pour your drink for you- you won’t have to do a single thing but enjoy your time!
Bombur
✧ Such a quiet sweetheart! You may not be able to tell he likes you because he's so subtle with his little gifts and waves sent your way, but he's always asking about you and trying to show he cares.
✧ Lets you sneak tastes of whatever he’s making even though he’d usually smack their hand away 🥰 Also he always serves you first at the end of the day and gives you the best bit of whatever he's made! And if you're a lady, he always says “ladies first” with the sweetest smile ☺️
✧ The absolute best if you get anxiety, like he will learn exactly what is best to do for you whether it’s breathing, words, serving as a living weighted blanket for you, a phrase or sensory experience, you name it! He just wants to see you smile again 🥺
✧ Quietly leaves you flowers by your bedroll when you aren’t around, just little surprises to bring a smile to your face at day’s end.
✧ Bombur has the most hilarious theories about how he thinks he can predict the weather, so rather than have you ask Gandalf he’ll explain them all in depth until you’ve got stitches in your sides from laughing.
✧ If you break touch barriers, expect the most shocked, happy :o face from him followed by a smile that slowly grows more and more lovestruck.
Dori
✧ Another case of 'could be interpreted as friendly', Dori practically fawns over you to make sure you're comfortable and have everything you need, but because he's a big brother it can come across like his natural sibling instinct.
✧ Anyone who bothers you gets the biggest scolding of their life- watch out!
✧ Making tea is his love/connection language. He'll offer to make you a cuppa if you're cold, stressed, need some energy, you name it and he'll do it for you!
✧ Practically shushes everyone to get your opinion when a ruckus emerges over some company decision or another, making some creative excuse why you have sway over it.
✧ Dori is definitely the sort to always check in and make sure you ate and got a drink too, always getting certain you’re keeping up your strength and care for yourself.
✧ Invites you to take walks with him when he wants fresh air and time away from his brothers, just the two of you enjoying nature and some one-on-one chatting and laughter.
Nori
✧ Shameless flirt! You'll know by the way his eyes travel up and down, by the way he smiles and approaches you, by his complete and utter lack of fear in complimenting and teasing you.
✧ Probably hits you with a pickup line as one of your first interactions, seeing you and immediately stepping in with the 'what's someone like you doing in a place like this'.
✧ Naturally he always volunteers to pair up with you on watches or lookout duty…just to make sure you’re safe, you know!
✧ Tells maybe, just possibly, exaggerated stories of his feats of heroism…or just gambling, whichever.
✧ One hundred percent the one who tries the old ‘yawn and put your arm around them’ trick one night by the fire or on watch.
✧ If his exploration leads him somewhere interesting you’re the first one he’ll be pulling over to check it out with him, pride written all over his face at your amazed reaction!
Ori
✧ He's so shy and polite around you that you can't help but wonder if his flustered state and smiles are connected to you. He also gets clumsier, suddenly walking into things and dropping them. What can be said, you just have an effect on him 😉
✧ Always points out animals he sees on your travels because he knows you like looking at them. Will sketch you pictures of your favorites so you can carry them with you!
✧ “Ooh, ooh! Sit with me!” *proceeds to not know what to say or do with himself once you get there*
✧ Knits for you, whether you request a scarf or gloves or a hat Ori will make it for you. “Here. This’ll keep you nice and warm,” he tells you as he passes it over, smiling sweetly as your hands brush.
✧ Tries to replicate anyone else’s feats. Fili threw a knife and hit a bullseye? Well watch this. Bifur balanced three bowls on his head? Care to see Ori do four? And if he doesn’t, please don’t laugh too much!
✧ Asks your favorite everything, like what flower you like the best, what meal you enjoy most, what’s your favorite color. Your favorite flower will forever make Ori think of you, and in fact it becomes his muse. He dedicated two whole pages to pressing and sketching them, one for him to keep and one for you!
Fili
✧ Epitome of 'if he teases you, he likes you'. Always shooting you jokes and smoothly grabbing your attention to show you things. Fili just gets a twinkle in his eye around you and his behavior clues you in.
✧ Teaches you the best way to throw knives, standing behind you to help you get the best angle 😏 asks if you’d like to give a name to the one you do the best with!
✧ Such a great listener. Goes full-on chin in hand just watching your animation intently, nodding and smiling as you speak.
✧ Struggle with something in Fili’s sight and you’ll never lift a finger at it again. He swoops right in to help you, always reassuring you it’s no big deal at all.
✧ Opens his arms immediately if you’re stressed or grieving, offering a warm, comforting embrace. He gives amazing hugs, too, a hand sliding soothingly up and down your back as he pulls you in.
✧ Trips and falls in front of you, but saves it by saying he lost his footing because you were so stunning 💁🏻‍♀️
Kili
✧ If he teases you he likes you part two. He also shamelessly flirts by winking at you and doing anything in his power to hear you laugh, so you'll be able to see what's up pretty quickly.
✧ He has a habit of taking things to see if you notice, just small things like if you leave your comb sitting out or lay down your weapon to go talk to someone, he'll snatch it up and hold onto it to see how long it takes! "Just keeping it warm for you ;)"
✧ Takes it upon himself to teach you archery or help you practice, making lots of corrections to your stance, especially with guiding hands on your hips 👀
✧ One night Kili has a coin perched on his hand. “Heads or tails?” You call your guess, and as luck you call it correctly. “Well, that means you get to sit with me tonight,” Kili replies with a wink.
✧ If you don’t mind it, he’ll probably end up giving you some sort of nickname, whether it’s based on some sort of inside joke or just something you like or remind him of.
✧ Conversations he’s involved in quickly involve you, too, as Kili can find a reason to think of you amidst even the most mundane topics.
Bilbo
✧ He isn't flustered around you, but he behaves with a certain awkward consternation that you wonder at. If you have a tougher time reading others like me, you might think he's just plain studying you, confused even, but in truth he is hyperfocusing on every little part of your interactions!
✧ The type to always stick by you, making sure he's the one seated next to you at mealtimes and placed next to you at the campfire.
✧ “Perhaps we ought to hold hands? Just to keep together. After all, it’s quite crowded out here.”
✧ Being introverted as he is, a big sign of Bilbo’s care for you is the way he approaches your time together- even at the end of the day he will still come to you, making it clear time together with you recharges. It equates to ‘me time’, which is big for him.
✧ Asks a lot of questions about your home, the cultures you come from and languages you speak. Bookish as he is, Bilbo will undertake learning your other language(s) and trying to bring pieces of your home right to you!
✧ “So, have you ever… you know, thought about settling down someday? After all this is over.”

Can't "Rise" to the Occasion by LordOfTheRazzles
bagginshield | during the quest | 2.3k
Every evening the Company of Thorin Oakenshield gathers for food, stories, and rest around the campfire on their way to Erebor. Some stories are fun, others are adventurous, but tonight’s theme is scary. Bilbo’s idea of scary and the dwarves’ understanding of hobbit customs throws Thorin’s mind for a loop.

Thorin: Guys, I have to tell you something... I love Bilbo
Thorin: Yes, I know you might be shocked, but please don't tell him
Balin: Thorin, we all already knew that
Thorin: Wait... you already knew? How?
Balin: You see, Thorin, there are these things, called eyes...

Thorin’s Company reaction to Modern!Reader w/ Hiccups
Thorin’s Company x Modern!Reader w/ Hiccups
Fandom: The Hobbit
So recently I learned that humans from our world probably only experience hiccups due to our fish ancestors, so I thought: ‘how would the dwarves, elves, hobbits, humans and wizards of Middle Earth react to Modern!reader with hiccups as none of them would ever have experienced it?’  Y’know, because they were born from Gods/Goddesses?  So expect more of this but for the others lol <3
Requests: Closed. Requested: no.
Warning(s): None other than the occasional mention of reader being a woman but other than that this is simply some fun headcanons.  :D
Note: Enjoy these headcanons <3
Word Count: 4,366 (roughly)
[Second Person Perspective]
Tumblr media
(This image is from ‘Elrond’s Daughter’ a tumblr account from 2012 and 2013 ish.  This was posted by them in 2012 so check them out if you like this <3) (You might also recognize this from my previous ‘Thorin’s Company’ fanfic, it’s just very convenient to use).
Thorin: (Romantic):
♡  Thorin didn’t care that you were basically from an entirely different world when he met you through Gandalf at the start of their quest for Erebor.  He was more focused on the fact that you were his One and you were human which he felt meant you needed extra protection and support.
♡   Even though you reassured him you’d be fine and you could handle yourself in battle.  You were trained by the Elves of Rivendell themselves afterall.
♡  Thorin knew what to expect with women more so than the other dwarves so he wasn’t surprised when you - his significant other - had stomach cramps or mood swings.
♡  He felt prepared for anything you might need or want.  He almost always knew how to help you even if it was just hugs that you needed.
♡  That was, of course, until the first time you started making weird, jostling squeaks.
♡  Every time you made one of these squeaks your body would shake a bit, sort of like a flinch.
♡  He was so confused.
♡  What was happening?  Why were you making weird noises?  What should he do?
♡  Was this a human symptom of death?
♡  Did you need food?  Water?
♡  You had to reassure him that they would stop on their own eventually.
♡  He didn’t believe you.
♡  So you said “I am not a fish” and your hiccups stopped completely thus proving your point.
♡  ??Why did you say that??  Did you need to rest?  Are you overtired?  Are you insane?
♡  You answered “yes” to that last one.
♡  He wasn’t amused.
♡  It took a while but he eventually got used to them.
♡  He still offered Oin’s medicinal remedies whenever you started to hiccup again, but you always declined because they’d just go away on their own anyway.
♡  His concern was so sweet but don’t think for a minute he would let you fight with those things.
Fili: (Romantic):
♡  He thought you were weird when you first met.
♡  But in a good way.  Weird in a good way.
♡   You both hit it off the instant you met and shared lots of jokes and pranks with Kili.  Mostly minor pranks that do no damage but are enough to just be funny.
♡  Thorin doesn’t mind unless you delay the journey a few extra minutes.
♡  Luckily you guys never actually get in any real danger or trouble, and when fighting you’ve got each other’s backs.
♡  Kili thinks you’re great and knew you two would eventually court.
♡  As soon as the company had the guts to tell you what their courting traditions were, but until then you had been left to your blissful ignorance and just happily braided Fili’s hair and played with it at the end of long days.
♡  He did not mind one bit.
♡  The company didn’t say anything about it, they thought it was cute and knew you were clueless to its meaning.
♡  After all the adventures you two had been on and all the time spent together, he felt he knew your every quirk and habit.
♡  Fili could read you so well, he knew when you were tired and hungry before you even did.
♡  He’d share his food with you, you’d reciprocate.
♡  So you can imagine his bewilderment when you two are hanging out and you suddenly start squeaking out of nowhere.
♡  He wasn’t really concerned, but he was definitely confused.
♡  Fili knew if it was hurting you, you’d speak up about it but you remained silent in regards to the squeaks the whole time.
♡  After they’d settled and he’d gotten you some water, he decided to ask about them as politely as he could.
♡  He didn’t want to cross any boundaries.
♡  So you happily explained what they were and how you couldn’t control or stop them.
♡  He was honestly glad you were fine, but gosh you’d had him a bit worried.
♡  “Is there anything I can do to help?”
♡  “Actually, water is nice and does help a bit.”  You smiled.
♡  So he made sure to always bring you water whenever you had the hiccups.  He was really sweet and attentive.
♡  You weren’t about to reassure his worries more than you had.  Let’s be honest here, you liked having his attention whenever they occurred.  It was so sweet.
Kili: (Romantic):
♡  Meeting Kili was very interesting.
♡  That’s it.
♡  Nah, totally kidding, here’s the story!
♡  Gandalf had decided to head to Rivendell to find you and have you join the company.  His plan was to leave with you after a good rest and receiving Lord Elrond’s help.
♡  Unfortunately, you’re incredibly unpredictable and constantly climbing trees and buildings like a cat.  Like all the time.
♡  So two days after arriving in Rivendell, the dwarves were getting settled and having fun just relaxing.
♡  The two Princes (Fili and Kili) were casually wandering Rivendell, just exploring the area by themselves, not causing any trouble or bothering anyone with minor pranks for once.
♡  It was a very quiet and uninteresting day.
♡  Until you slipped from your spot on a tree - trying to catch a squirrel - and you fell landing directly on top of Kili.  Just...absolutely destroying this prince’s poor spine with your weight and fall.
♡  Luckily, you were uninjured as a soft, cuddly prince broke your fall!
♡  And that’s how you both first met and Gandalf finally found you and invited you to join the company.
♡  I say “invite” but he dragged you along no matter your answer.
♡  Despite such a rocky beginning you both got along really well and Fili even liked you.  Especially because you apologized a lot for falling onto Kili and he quickly forgave you.
♡  You guys had made good time travelling to Erebor by the time you first had hiccups around the group.
♡  Kili started panicking and began gently shaking you by the shoulders.
♡  “IS THIS HELPING!?”
♡  “no?”
♡  “WHY!?”
♡  It took some time and lots of Fili pulling Kili off you and Thorin pulling the brothers away from you and Balin checking on you and my God you didn’t have a single chance to catch your breath I’m so sorry--
♡  Once you had a sip of water and two whole minutes of quite, your hiccups stopped and you felt so much better.
♡  You gave the best explanation you could and a very better summary.  Because the explanation wasn’t good enough for Kili, he seriously needed to know how to help you next time.
♡  The next time they attacked you, he was ready with honeyed tea and cinnamon.  It didn’t help the hiccups, but it did help your dry throat from the snowy, cold air so you didn’t say anything about it.
♡  Besides!  Kili makes a damn good cup of cinnamon and honey tea.
Dwalin: (Romantic):
♡  This tough, gruff man could not easily trust or care about some stranger he just met for the first time.
♡  Everyone had hidden motives and intentions until proven otherwise by lots of conversing and close watching.
♡  He could easily weed out any spy, evil person, selfish aristocrat - you name the evil, he could spot it and scare them away.
♡  Dwalin had this skill from protecting the line of Durin and serving Thorin for a long time, basically being his bodyguard and most trusted with Balin being the second most trusted and Thorin’s advisor.
♡  So you can bet he wouldn’t care for some strange woman Gandalf forces to join the company.
♡  Right?
♡  Wrong!
♡  To be honest he fell for you the moment he first laid eyes on you and watched as you walked directly into a solid brick wall.
♡  It was kind of funny.
♡  You both got along very well and he found you were actually very knowledgeable and had lots to add in conversations.
♡  He never had to worry about small talk ever again when you were near.
♡  You could handle all the small talk for Dwalin and then just hold a normal conversation with him.  It was perfect, he just got to stand there and politely nod when needed until the person left!
♡  This man is incredibly strong with very good reflexes, so every time you trip, slip or go to walk into a tree he’s there to catch you and redirect you.
♡  You have long-sighted vision, so you’re one hell of an archer, but you can’t see shit three feet in front of you.
♡  Literally you learned to read from 6 feet away from the damn book, but hey it worked for you!
♡  Dwalin is thoroughly impressed by your ability to see so far so perfectly when his own vision is becoming quite the opposite.  It gets harder for him to see long distance every decade that passes.
♡  After months of travelling, adventuring and laughing together you finally started courting.
♡  And it was a month after this that you first experienced hiccups around Dwalin.
♡  Dwalin grew quite concerned and quickly got you water, food, a dog to hug, he gave you his coat, started the fire in your room.  Your hiccups lasted quite a while but after some water and food they died down.
♡  A gentle conversation about how much you appreciated him ensued.  BUT you also explained how all of that wasn’t quite necessary as hiccups go away on their own.
♡  You could explain how hiccups occur to this man as many times as you want and he will forget every time.  But he does remember that they’re uncomfortable, uncontrollable and involuntary.
♡  So he makes sure every is very respectful whenever you have the hiccups and no one dares to even flinch or cough until you’re both a safe distance away or the hiccups stop.
♡  Very protective man, but very fun to tease.
Bofur: (Romantic):
♡  You and Bofur make toys and trinkets together (he taught you) and this is how you spent a lot of your time.
♡  Out on a date?  Gathering materials for your creations.
♡  Spending time together just relaxing?  The room is decorated with your trinkets and jewelry.
♡  Sometimes he’d create the items and you’d paint or tweak them, making sure that there were no missed spots or details.
♡  One day, whilst painting you began hiccuping and had to take breaks between painting the trinkets so you wouldn’t ruin it.
♡  Bofur grew concerned after a minute.
♡  At first he was certain it was just a strange cough, but it kept going.
♡  He checked on you multiple times and you reassured him you were fine until he finally gave up and stood up.
♡  He offered to take you to Oin and when you said ‘no’ he offered a walk in some fresh air.
♡  You needed a break and said ‘sure’ and decided to explain the hiccups during your walk because he kept questioning you all about them.
♡  He was surprised to hear it was normal and common for you.
♡  He’d never encountered such a mysterious little squeak in his entire life.
♡  Bofur made you some tea after the walk and picked you some flowers for your room.
♡  You put them in a vase and sat them on your bedside table.
♡  He continued to offer aromas and scented things in case they helped, but you didn’t mind because the smell of lavender was actually very relaxing.
♡  Whilst you and him had time apart he came back looking a little more excited each day and soon you found out why.
♡  He was making you a toy that makes a little ‘ding’, or bell sound, when you press a button on it’s back.
♡  “It’s like your hiccups”  He explains with a cute smile.
♡  Please marry this man.
♡  You gave him a big hug for the cute little invention and it sits right beside your bed all the time.
Balin: (Platonic):
♡  Balin had seen many things in his time in Middle Earth.  From Erebor before Smaug and after they took back the mountain and Thorin reigned king.
♡  Balin taught you a lot of things, especially about Dwarven culture when you took a liking to Thorin.
♡  He could see the relationship blossoming between you two and always looked out for you and helped teach you anything you wanted to know about.
♡  He was wise, gave great advice.
♡  So you can imagine the fear and worry he feels when he encounters something he’s unfamiliar with that appears severe.
♡  Like your hiccups.
♡  He first saw these when Fili and Kili startled you awake as a prank and you were all laughing.
♡  Until you started hiccuping and the laughter quietened.
♡  You reassured them everything was okay but the poor brothers thought you were experiencing a heart attack and desperately tried to help you.
♡  You were pushing them off until Thorin and Balin shooed them away.
♡  Balin gave you some pats on the back and a “you alright, lasso?”
♡  Even when you nodded he didn’t believe you and helped you stand up and pack up your gear.
♡  He decided to give you some room to breathe and once they died down he checked in on you again.
♡  After a thorough explanation he still didn’t quite understand but he nodded anyway.
♡  “It is what it is, no use dwelling on something we can’t change.  I’m glad you’re alright.”
♡  He gave you another pat on the back and off you were back on the road with the group and some apologies from Fili and Kili.
 Bifur: (Platonic):
♡  You can’t tell this man anything.
♡  He struggles to communicate because you don’t know his Dwarvish sign language and he doesn’t know your English sign language.
♡  You can speak, but you’re mostly mute and non-verbal.  But you make an excellent fighter and cook so the company loves you.
♡  They met you when they picked up Bilbo actually and during the journey were quite surprised when anti-social “i only like my family” Bifur hung around you.
♡  He started acting like a protective uncle despite the communication barrier and always brought you food when you were busy setting up camp or gathering firewood.
♡  The company watched intriguingly as you and Bifur slowly learned each other’s sign language through constant, but slow, communication.
♡  When he talked it was only Dwarvish and when you talked it was only ever very quietly.
♡  You sort of bonded over this and fought together, like watching each other’s backs.
♡  He made sure you got extra food, showed you how to sharpen your weapons and polish your armour.
♡  Made sure the group didn’t give you trouble by making sure it was clear you were family to him.
♡  So when you squeaked and ‘flinched’ during a sign language discussion he flooded you with Dwarvish questions both out loud and in sign language.
♡  He was high-tailing it to Oin and Bofur whilst carrying you on his back like a log of wood.
♡  He was also shouting a string of Dwarvish insults at anyone in his way which happened to be poor Nori and Kili trying to set up camp.
♡  You took the medicines Oin made you and appreciated Bofur’s comfort, but needless to say, communicating the hiccups and what they were took all night.
♡  That’s not exaggerated this man is stubborn, needs a translator, Bofur needs time to process what the fuck you’re saying to then translate it.
♡  Everyone else is asking so many questions.
♡  By the end of the night you got halfway through the explanation.
♡  The next day was spent traveling and explaining the rest.
♡  Yup, the entire day.
♡  And then you had to re-explain during the night.
♡  The stubbornness of Dwarves to receive new information was going to be the death of you but you got through it.
♡  Not a fun experience, 2/10, but just because Fili and Kili laughed for two hours making jokes about your world’s strangeness and Bofur sung songs about fish.
♡  Bifur was super understanding by the end of this three day, yes three day, adventure though.
♡  He gave you several hugs and pats on the back which is high praise from this man.
Ori: (Platonic):
♡  PLease, the first time you began to hiccup around him he was so startled he messed up his drawing of a flower and you felt so bad.
♡   It was a constant back and forth of “I’m sorry!” and “do you want help?” and both of you were saying those to each other.
♡  He was worried, but he felt bad that his concern might be overwhelming you and you felt bad you messed up his drawing and were offering to help him fix it.
♡  It was great.
♡  You were both crying by the end of the moment and you still had hiccups.
♡  Ori took you to Dori because he had no clue how to help you and you were still crying with him so you couldn’t explain it.
♡  Dori was startled from his work by two crying - practically children - young adults covered in dirt.
♡  He had to give you both cookies and milk until you calmed down.
♡  Once you explained the situation and your hiccups, Dori left you both with some big brotherly advice and a slice of cheese each before leaving you two alone again.
♡  You and Ori enjoyed your cheese and you helped him fix up his drawing.
♡  From then on Ori was more aware of your hiccups and didn’t mind when they happened.
♡  He mostly ignored them unless they went on for like five minutes straight, then he’d look at you pretty concerned.
♡  He decided to write poems about the hiccups and draw cute little mini-yous hiccuping in his books.
♡  Come on now, you found this absolutely adorable, I mean who wouldn’t want to read Dwarvish poems about how hiccups startle and frighten the hearts of young men in the midst of fierce battles.
Dori: (Platonic):
♡  Dori is like the eldest of his brothers, Nori and Ori.
♡  So when you meet and join the Company on their quest for Erebor, he starts treating you like his younger sibling.
♡  Although he’s super protective, caring and considerate, he also gives you a glass of wine whenever he can if you’re feeling even slightly under the weather.
♡  “Wine and cheese cure anything” he reassures you.
♡  Ori and Nori nod their heads in agreement and even admit during your travels that every time they were sick Dori would, in fact, give them a slice of cheese.
♡  So when you first hiccuped around the company, Dori immediately snuck you a piece of cheese.
♡  You thanked him and gave him a sort of ‘sliced cheese in hand’ salute.
♡  He nodded.
♡  The cheese did not help.
♡  You were still hiccuping.
♡  But rest assured!  He was a fast learner!
♡  He had more cheese <3
♡  You didn’t know where he finds his cheese until you see Nori going out of his way to steal the cheese and then give it to Dori like a cheese-dealer.
♡  At the end of the day you just explained what they were and why they were happening.
♡  He was relieved it wasn’t an illness you were hiding from them or anything.  He reassured you that if you did have an illness you could tell them.
♡  Again you thanked him and he gave you a glass of wine.
♡  So, as softly as you could you told him the cheese didn’t really help, although you really appreciated it.
♡  “Nonsense!  Cheese always helps.  Especially sharp cheese.”
♡  “Ohh, sharp cheese, you can never go wrong there (Y/N).”  Bofur agreed with a chuckle, sitting across from you both.
♡  Look, let’s cut to the chase, you were there all night explaining hiccups until you finally made progress with Dori.
♡  The next time you experienced hiccups he didn’t give you cheese.
♡  He gave you wine.  :)
Nori: (Romantic):
♡  You and Nori often commit minor cases of thievery together like any normal average couple would.
♡  That was until you began to make silly squeaking sounds that gave away your location and you two had to book it out of there.
♡  You ran for miles and by the time you were both safe, you both collapsed in exhaustion.
♡  He let it go for the night in case you were sick, but mostly because he was tired.
♡  The next day he questioned you at like, the crack of dawn with a candle hovering over you head.
♡  The candle was newly stolen.
♡  “This could have been us stealing it together, but you had to almost die.”  He sighed dramatically.
♡  You calmly, but tiredly explain your hiccups.
♡  You couldn’t get him past the ‘evolved from a fish’ part because he was laughing hysterically.
♡  “Imagine entering Aule and greeting your first ancestor!!”  Nori cackled.
♡  “My dear, please.”  You begged.
♡  “BLUB BLUB BLUB BLOB PFFFTTT”
♡  It took a lifetime and a half but once he understood it, he let it go.
♡  Before you went thieving together though he would always ask if you were feeling “fishy” just in case you could tell when you’d have the hiccups.
♡  You remained patient through his comments but salted his water the next day claiming it to be an ‘ancient fish tradition of showing love’.
Oin: (Platonic):
♡  He thought you were sick when you first had hiccups.
♡  You were his medicinal apprentice and he was teaching you everything he knew so you could protect and help the Company when he wasn’t around.
♡  So when you had the hiccups on a cold winter night just before bed he immediately jumped to making a little sleeping aid, a cough calmer, a throat soother and a hot cup of tea to warm your chill.
♡  You were so grateful for your master (apprentice’s boss) but you felt bad he was doing all this for nothing.
♡  Well not entirely, the sleep aid actually really helped as well as the throat soother.
♡  So at the end of the long discussion you were sleepy and warm so you didn’t really mind anymore.
♡  From then on every time you started to have bad hiccups he’d give you a throat soothing mixture and if they were particularly violent he’d make you a cough calmer anyway.
♡  Very caring, but pretty hard to explain anything to because of his slight deafness.
♡  You could tell this man 100 times over that you didn’t need rest or medicine but he still would need you to tell him again.
♡  At least you get a nice cup of tea at the end of the day though,
♡  He makes the best teas.
Bombur: (Romantic):
♡  Poor sweetheart.
♡  He thought it was his food the first time you started hiccuping.
♡  This was because it happened as you were halfway through a nice lunch he cooked and oh boy did he panic.
♡  Bombur thought you were allergic or something, he’s heard cases of people being unable to eat certain foods.
♡  He felt so bad no matter how many times you said it wasn’t the food.
♡  “I am not a fish” you reminded your brain and the hiccups stopped.
♡  “It was the fish?  Was it the river bass or the salmon?”  He asked.
♡  “No, no it wasn’t the fish at all!”  You reassured him.
♡  “It was the salmon wasn’t it?”
♡  “Bombur, no-”
♡  He actually cares about you so much.
♡  Every time you experience hiccups, even if it’s not during a meal, he’ll give you more water and food.
♡  If you hiccup during the day’s journey he’ll sneak you like two extra spoons of food and a cute smile.
♡  If your hiccups seemed particularly violent or long he’ll share some of his own bowls of food.
♡  Let’s you choose most of the meals and spices just in case the food is the problem, because you’ll know what food to avoid.
Gloin: (Platonic):
♡  He’s literally married.
♡  He knows everything a dwarf needs to know about women and the many problems they can suffer with.
♡  But he didn’t know that was a fucking thing??
♡  You were practically his child, he always made sure you were safe and healthy and got a good share of food before anyone else.
♡  Dwarf dad™.
♡  The panic he experienced when you started making strange squeaking sounds and flinching.
♡  He thought you were in danger until he got closer.
♡  Then he thought you were dying.
♡  “Oh no, my wife’s gonna kill me if I let you die, child.”
♡  “I’m an adult?”
♡  “Oh sweet child” He cried and hugged you tightly.
♡  Once you explained to him you weren’t dying and it was just an occasional thing that happens he calmed down but still needed a very long explanation.
♡  After you explain hiccups at least five times he continues to ask if you need medicine.
♡  Regardless of your answer you are given medicine. :)
♡  He pretends not to mind if you don’t take it, but you catch him glancing at you throughout the day or during mealtimes until you take it and he finally calms down.
♡  Overall, he gets used to it pretty quickly.
♡  But every time you get hiccups he will be giving you more medicine.
♡  You’re pretty sure the medicine is a pain killer.
♡  You’re grateful for his concern anyway.

the hobbit is the perfect base for a found family story. A long journey with a bunch of strangers? As you travel you get to know each other, your weaknesses and strenghts and how to overcome them? Each one of the 14 members (f u gandalf) can be an interesting individual and have unique dynamics with other characters? brotherhood? families of choice?? friendships, family and love??? a dramatic ass wizard???? all that on a journey which goal is to reclaim the dwarves' home? bless
ao3 writers who write thorin's company as family and give them cool dynamics I LOVE YOU!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!
