DURIN'S DAY CHRONICLES : MILITARY HOBBIT AU
A note from SMALLS - “WE’RE BACK! Severe apologies for the long wait.. real life blind sides you and next thing you know summer comes and goes and the cold comes back.. but we are far from done, we have such an exciting story to tell, and if you are following us by the movies, we are barely at the halfway point of movie 1! So, i know the waiting is a lot to ask of you, but your patience and audience is the most appreciated thing ever.. we love you and we are so very grateful to all of you! Much love, S”

DURIN'S DAY : CHAPTER 14 : DEEP WOUNDS
Bilbo frowned up at the sky.
Today hadn’t been a very good day. Not at all.
Well, perhaps it wasn’t the day, but more the night that had soured everything. The company - himself included, of course - had almost been killed. Again.
And now it was beginning to rain.

Just have to say I was blown away by the detail and care and work put into this. Marvellous :) Will start reading the fics soon. Keep it up! :)
*swoons* Thank you! I hope that you enjoy the fics - Durin's Day started with a photo manip put together by Smalls and a shared need to see our boys wearing military uniforms (and maybe looking a little roughed up) - I've been striving to live up to her art since then and it's the most fun ever!
Please don't hesitate to share what you think with us! We're happy to have any and all positive criticism!

Totally made my day with the new character profile! Keep up the great work, I look forward to all future creations!
*happydance* Yay! It's always so so good to get feed back, but positive feed back is a whole nother level of awesome!
Initially, Smalls and I wanted to post this much sooner after we hit the epic 500 mark, but new schedules and technical difficulties delayed that a touch. Still! Aren't those pics epic? Smalls is magic with the photo manips *grins*
And thank you, Anon, for your very kind words. Love from the readers is our fuel and happiness!

DURIN'S DAY : CHAPTER 13 : BAD MOON
Dwalin took a moment to reflect on the weapon in his hand. They didn’t have a moment to spare, really, but the weapon was already long familiar to him. The Grasper AX-3 was more than just a beauty, it was a comfort in high stress settings like the one they were in now.
He hefted the weapon and sent a sidelong look at Thorin, only to see his own smirk reflected back at him. That was, of course, when Gloin decided to speak up.
“You want to clear a path for us or are we stopping for a circle jerk?”
Thorin nodded and Dwalin stood. In a fluid, well practiced motion, he shouldered his assault rifle and readied his second source of comfort - The Keeper MSG, a 40 mm, six-shot, revolving multiple grenade launcher. He leveled his baby at the hangar door before returning Thorin’s nod.
“DOWN!” The word bellowed out from Dwalin and he ducked as soon as the grenade left the barrel.

DURIN'S DAY SOUNDTRACK : Chapter 13 (BAD MOON)
"Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise"

DURIN'S DAY : CHAPTER 13 : BAD MOON - teaser
“Don’t hold fire on my account, Durinson,” Dwalin could’ve snarled as the oil slick filth that was the voice of the Rat Bastard Mágol poured into his ear from the com. “I want your all.”

Chapter 12: Idée Fixe
Thorin closed his eyes and focused on his breathing.
Without the gunfire, the silence rang too loud in the ruins they still squatted in. He was painfully aware of every step, cough, and hiss of pain that came from his company, of how the worst of it came from behind him.
Just a few feet away, Oin was giving instructions to Nori, who was attending to Ori even as Oin saw to Bofur.
Thorin had wanted to tell the older man that his instructions were useless - that Nori had been an old hand at fishing out bullets when he was younger than Ori was now - but it was likely that Oin’s mild voice and clinical instructions were helping to keep Nori calm at the moment, so he held his silence.
Thorin should be helping them, he knew this. He made for a horrible medic, but he was half decent at triage, and even if his help wasn’t needed, he’d sat at the bedside of enough friends and fellow soldiers to know how to lend comfort in times of pain.
He couldn’t, though. He couldn’t even look at Ori, who’d been shot for the first time in his life, or at Bofur, who he’d been through more battles with than he could count.
Thorin himself had led the scouting group, had assigned which areas to search and who was to search them. If something had been missed - and obviously it had - then it fell on him. He should’ve had Ori dig up a layout of the place or had Bofur examine the electrical systems - and the equipment that they had bedded down with - more thoroughly. He should’ve kept sending out smaller patrols after the initial sweep, too, until every inch of the cursed place had been checked twice.
Thorin grimaced and opened his eyes.
None of that mattered now. There was much that he could’ve - should’ve - done differently, but that didn’t change what had already happened. To be honest, there were also ways everything could’ve gone much worse and he was absurdly grateful that their injuries were so few.
Behind him, Ori whimpered and Thorin took that as his cue to remove himself from the room.

Hi ! Because I can never remember who's who, could you please tell me again all the characters and their code names please? I promise I will learn them all by heart for next time !!
Ack! Good question, and no - I definitely don't mind! I like to think I do a good job of keeping them straight, myself, but, to be honest, having a cheat sheet notes helps immensely.
Below is all of the nicknames/handles/callsigns I was able to find that have been mentioned in the story so far (I think).
Thorin - Sunray Major (aka Oakenshield)
Dwalin - Sunray Minor
Fili - Foxhound Alpha (aka Day)
Kili - Foxhound Bravo (aka Night)
Balin - Overlord
Bifur - Bluebell
Bofur - Holdfast
Bombur - Shoemaker
Oin - Starlight
Gloin - Shelldrake (aka Red)
Dori - Prophet (aka Marcus Hadson)
Nori - Napalm (aka Broy)
Ori - Pronto
Bilbo - Boxwood
Also, The company currently refer to themselves as Echo One Four (E14, or the Erebor 14). When they were driving around in the cars, they were divided into four units
Ironside Unit (Thorin and Dwalin, who both rode motorcycles)
Molar Unit (Balin, Bifur, Bombur, and Oin) was resupplying
Playtime Unit (Gloin, Nori, and Bofur) was hauling supplies
Foxhound Unit (Dori, Bilbo, Ori, Fili and Kili)
I think that's everything - if I've missed thing, I cry pardon *nods* Hope this helps!

Andrew Lincoln!
... that's who our Frerin is... sorry about the outburst... go about your business... >.>
OK SO! I'm really excited sorry :S I noticed your choice for Frerin...just saw his name and now I can't remember it, but what if! Well more like, how do you feel about Clive Standen?? He's from Vikings and one of my friends just made a post saying how in the season two trailer she thought he'd make a good Frerin, I also just thought because Lara Pulver sorta's been face claimed as Dis right? Well in BBC Robin Hood Standen was Armitage's half brother. I just wanna see how you feel about that :D
(first, this question is from ages and ages ago and I have no excuses for not answering earlier - absolutely none. I cry pardon)
Clive Standen! He is a good fit! I think we have someone for Frerin, actually - I’m not sure who, exactly, as I can’t recall the actor’s name and I can’t locate my copy of the picture right now… (my home now reflects my life and is badly in need of de-cluttering) but Smalls should know!
Still, we have other characters that we’ve been adding to the fic (you’ll meet them all eventually… I hope) and we might save Clive for one of those! Thank you!
