#dwalin drabble

[multi-fandom-imagine]

If possible, could you do Dwalin giving reader a Dwarven bead for her hair as a courting gift?

A/n: I hope you like this and I hope I did him justice! 😩

Au: Where everyone lived and no one died.

The battle had long passed, Thorin was somewhere barking orders as the others wanders various parts of Erebor, and the air was now filled with the softer clang of hammer and forge, the smell of stone dust and fire-heated metal. Erebor had begun to rebuild, and so had its people. But amidst all the restoration and duty, Dwalin found his eyes wandering more than they used to—specifically toward you.

You, with your stubborn strength and quiet laughter, who had wormed your way into the very stone of his heart without even realizing it. He didn't know why he was so drawn to you, you weren't a dwarf, just a friend of Bilbo and Gandalf that had decided to tag along.

He’d never courted anyone before. Not truly. Not with the intent to build something lasting with the one he cared the most about, But you….you made him think of warmth, and peace, and mornings shared in kind silence.

And so, with calloused fingers and a gruff sort of determination, Dwalin carved a bead.

It wasn’t overly ornate—he was not one for frills—but it was solid and meaningful. A pattern of interlocking runes etched around the circumference, ancient symbols for loyalty, protection, and strength. Your name, hidden in Dwarvish script, lined the inner band where only you would ever see it.

And today will be the day he will give it to you and hopefully you will say yes. With a deep breath and the bead in his hand he made his way towards you, he had found you alone in a small sitting area, the early morning sun catching on your hair. You smiled when you saw him, and he felt his heart thud like a war drum.

“Oi,” he said, clearing his throat as he stepped into your path. His fingers curled around the bead inside his palm like it might burn him.

You tilted your head. “Yes, Dwalin?”

He huffed. “Got somethin’ for you.”

You blinked, watching as he reached into the pocket of his leather coat and pulled out the bead. The moment it caught the light, your breath hitched softly.

He held it out with an awkward grunt, not quite meeting your gaze. “It’s… for your hair. I carved it m’self.”

You reached out slowly, fingers brushing his as you took it. Your eyes widened as you traced the rune markings.

“It’s beautiful,” you whispered, cradling it like something precious.

Dwalin gave a nervous grunt, shifting on his feet. “It’s a courting bead,” he said, voice quieter now, more uncertain. “Meanin’… if you wear it… it means you’d have me. If you want.”

You looked up at him, stunned, then back down at the bead. For a moment, you said nothing—and Dwalin braced himself for the worst.

But then, with the smallest smile tugging at your lips, you pulled your hair over your shoulder and began to braid it, right there in front of him. With deft fingers, you slipped the bead into place and secured it tightly.

When you finally met his eyes again, the smile was radiant.

“I’d have you, Dwalin,” you murmured, voice as warm as a hearth. “And gladly.”

The warrior’s shoulders sagged with relief, and for once, the fierce tattooed Dwarf looked a little flustered.

“…Good,” he grunted, trying not to smile. “Good.”

He walked beside you the rest of the way in silence, but your fingers brushed against his hand more than once—and he didn’t pull away.

Deadly's Tolkien Masterlist

Thranduil x Reader

Forbidden Cells

Years prior Thranduil had been torn away from you after your relationship had been discovered. Under the impression you had left Mirkwood he never expected to find you in one of Mirkwood’s cells when he became king.

Unrequited

Over the years you’d managed to fall in love with your childhood friend, and kept your feelings hidden, terrified of ruining your friendship, but now years of hiding your feelings are catching up to you, making you unwell.

All Grown Up

When you receive a letter stating your son’s intentions to join the Fellowship of the Ring, you’re understandably distressed, but Thranduil is always there to talk you through it, important meetings or not.

A Marriage Overridden

Keeping your relationship with Thranduil a secret backfires when your parents arrange a marriage for you. Thankfully, all arranged marriages have to go through the elvenking himself.

An Execution

When you’re forced to witness an execution performed by the man you love, Legolas shields you from the sight, but Thranduil still has to reassure you later.

Fears and Bandages

Thranduil’s composure cracks as he waits for you to come home from battling the spiders. He’s only able to put his fears to rest once he’s bandaged you up himself.

Legolas x Reader

A Token Of Love

Legolas has been acting suspicious, but you soon find out why when he presents you with a gift.

Mistletoe Kisses 🎄

During a Yule celebration at Minas Tirith you introduce Legolas to mistletoe.

Aragorn x Reader

Charming Stranger

When a charming stranger helps you regain control of your horse in the woods, you don’t expect to see him again. You definitely don't expect him to be the king of Gondor.

A Series Of Kisses

A series of kisses leading up to your wedding night. (drabble)

Thorin x Reader

Misty Mountains

Throin helps you get back to sleep when you wake up from a nightmare while he’s on watch.

Ranger At Heart

You and Thorin grew closer than anyone thought possible as he healed, but deep down your heart will always belong to the wild.

Fili x Reader

Concerning Hobbits

Fili enlists the help of Bilbo to learn about hobbit courting customs in order to ask you out in the best way possible.

Dwalin x Reader

Men and Flowers

Insecurities creep up on Dwalin when he sees you with a young, human man. How could you ever want a dwarf like him compared to that? Little does he know, there's only one person you want, and it’s not the human man.

Day 9 : Enjoy

*･༓˚✧ ❝𝐃𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐱 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫❞ ‧͙⁺˚༓˚✧ « may drabbles/treat »

GN!Reader | Wordcount : 100 words | TWs : None

Dwalin was honoured to have been chosen to help the Company, to be one of the warriors and give council to the dwarf who would become King under the mountain. However, he hadn’t been expecting to enjoy the trip to the mountain, not at first. Travelling for days on ponies? That wasn’t what he had wanted.

Going to the Shire had made him question how well this quest would even go - until you had said you’d been joining them as well. He wasn’t sure what about you had made it better; he still isn’t. He just knows that you do.

A/N: One of the ones I'm a little insecure in. But hopefully still enjoyable!

The angstttt ����🖤🖤😭

Hi may I please request some dwalin angst? Like push me in the dirt and break my heart kinda angsty. I’m a very big fan and very appreciative of your hard work btw 😘

(Here we go, my love. Hope you like it.)

Dwalin looked over at you, an ever present aching in his chest. Every time he looked at you, he felt it. It was like something standing firmly on him, suffocating him, yet it also felt empty. A dead weight emptiness. All because he knew that you would never love him. 

He watched you giggle with Fili and Kili, the handsome Durin princes. There was that all too familiar blush that would rise on your cheeks whenever you were around them. It was their attention you wanted, not Dwalin’s. When he felt the emotions completely overwhelm him, he would go for a walk, heading off into the thickets. 

“What’s on your mind, brother?” Balin asked, stepping up behind his younger, tougher brother. 

“Nothing,” Dwalin replied sharply and turned back to look at the small trickle of water, barely even a river. 

Balin remained in front of Dwalin with his hands on his hips. The older, more authoritative son of Fundin never tolerated bullshit, and he could sense a mile away when a person was lying, especially his own kin. 

“Is it the girl?” Balin asked simply. “I’ve seen the way you look at her.” 

“Leave it, Balin,” Dwalin growled, glaring at Balin, and then stormed away. 

Dwalin was loyal to Thorin, his king, but at that very moment he wanted to disappear from the Company, head away to a far land where he could be free of everyone. He wanted mental rest from this inner turmoil he was feeling. 

Until suddenly, out of nowhere, he heard a high pitched, beautiful voice. “Dwalin, are you alright?” 

[h0neymoss]

Hi! My name is HoneyMoss! I'm a writer and just got into writing fanfics! I got sucked in, and I have no idea how I got here, but I'm here now and wouldn't trade it for the world. I write some Tolkien fanfics, mostly Fili/Ori, but I also drabble in Bagginshield and Dwalin/Nori. If I'm feeling particularly sparkly, we might also get some background Kili/Tauriel and Balin/Dori. This is my introduction to anybody out there interested in checking me out on AO3 and reading some of my stuff! I might also post artsy stuff, though I can't promise that haha... So... Hi! Come check me out sometime! https://archiveofourown.org/users/HoneyMoss

[beautifultypewriter]

I love your writing!! What does your request inbox look like currently?🥰

Hello! Thank you so much for the message! 💛💛 My request inbox currently looks a mess because I am very disorganized. Here is a breakdown for you though:

Peaky Blinders

1 for Jeremiah Jesus that is like probably over a year old

Game of Thrones

1 for Brienne of Tarth

2 for Podrick Payne

BBC Merlin

2 for Leon

1 for Percival

1 for headcanons with Leon, Gwaine, and Percival

Lord of the Rings

1 for Bofur

1 for Kili

1 for Dwalin

1 for headcanons for Boromir and Haldir

And 1 for my love, Gondor Girl

And I have my Christmas drabbles, my prompt bingo, and my fairytale imagines, and some random stuff in my drafts that are super self indulgent. Thanks for asking! It makes me feel really good that you’re asking about my writing and stuff especially since lately I’ve been feeling like I drifted too far away and now no one cares about this blog. Which only makes me drift further, so it’s a vicious cycle. Anyway… thank you!

[fantasyinallforms]

@thatfancygirlinblack thank you for tagging me and saying you admire my work! That means a lot! 🥰🥰This looks very fun!

What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out, and would you do it again?

I tried to do POV alternating chapters in Sparks & Gardens, and I'm really trying to stick with it, but it's harder than it looks 😅

How many fics did you work on this year? (They don’t have to be finished or published!)

I published 23 works and worked on 26 not including drabbles

What’s something you learned about yourself as a writer?

I can't force an idea to happen, and if I try to force myself to write through writer's block, I'll hate everything I put down. Best to switch projects and come back later.

What piece of media inspired you the most?

The Hobbit which is pare for the course

What fandom(s) did you write for this year?

Bagginshield mostly, a dash of Good Omens, and one Murther drabble

What ship(s) captured your heart?

Bilbo/Thorin always and forever, but Aziracrow had a special place there, too ❤️

What character(s) captured your heart?

As to not risk rampant repetition please see above

Did you write for a new fandom or ship this year?

Yes actually! During Kinktober I decided to stretch my wings a little and do a Nori/Dwalin and a Thranduil/ Bard fic. I'm very proud of them. They turned out great!

What fic meant the most to you to write?

You Should Be Safe With Me. I proved something to myself with this fic, and I'm very proud of it.

What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?

That's so hard! I love all my fics and I enjoyed writing almost all of them! If I have to narrow it down, Not Yours To Touch was a freaken blast.

What fic was the most satisfying to finish writing?

ooo, ok, I'd have to say A Most Unlikely Dance Partner because I feel like the way the story came full circle felt amazing when all was said and done.  

What fic was the most difficult to write? Did you finish it?

Reputation be damned, which started as a one-shot and is now a full-blown fic, is giving me so much trouble! I have 4 of 8 chapters written and hit a stone wall in progress multiple times after chapter 3. I have no idea why, but I'm hoping to revisit it with a fresh mind in the new year.

What fic was the easiest to write?

The Proper Way To Call You Mine was a breeze. The idea came from a Tumbler post, and @conkers-theficwriter encouraged me to give the idea a whirl, given it's become my signature trope ~ jealousy ~. The concept was fantastic. It took me four hours to write, and I had a blast.

What were your shortest and longest fics this year?

If we're talking published fics, then You Should Be Safe With Me was the longest at 34,293, and Where All Others Failed, my Bard/Thranduil smutty one shot was the shortest at 1,232.

Rec a fic you wrote or posted in 2023

Modern AUs don't get enough love, but I've really taken to them. I really enjoyed working on my Happy Accidents Universe 3-part series.

What were you go-to writing songs?

I don't listen to music while I work 😅 but the song Can I Be Him by James Arthur is fueling one of my not-yet-posted projects right now.

What were your go-to writing snacks?

If I'm writing, there is an 80% chance I forgot to eat. I'm more of a beverage girly.

What was the hardest fic to title?

A Most Unlikely Dance Partner. This bad boy didn't have a title until about 4 days before I posted it to the collection.

Share your favorite opening line.

Being king under the mountain came with many perks, free time was not one of them. From …is this a bad time?

Thorin lay there long after Bilbo’s small snores filled the room. He had never prayed to a Valar other than his maker before. Now he closed his eyes and prayed to Yavanna, Vala of all things green and growing, to allow one of her children to be happy living among her husband's creations.  From Mead Makes for Loose Lips

Did you ever think you stood a chance?” Thorin hoisted Korshak up, leaning him over the forge until his face was dangerously close to the red-hot embers. “Did you think he was an easy target that you could take advantage of? Were you so naive as to think no one was watching you?! Bilbo. is. MINE . He is under my protection. I would not let the likes of you touch a hair on his golden head,” Thorin snarled.

“Fine, one more round.” Thorin lunged, and Bilbo parried the blow and backed up, waiting for Thorin to advance. When he did, Bilbo repeated the tactic. Curious where this was going, Thorin let Bilbo guide the match until finally, Bilbo had nowhere else to go, and Thorin had him backed into a tree.”  “Always be aware of your surroundings, Burglar, Dea-!!!!” Bilbo balled his fist into the front of Thorin’s tunic and yanked him down as hard as he could, crashing their lips together. It was such an overwhelmingly lovely sensation that Thorin dropped his sparring sword and braced one hand on the tree behind them. The other hand was now firmly behind Bilbo’s head, pulling him into an even deeper kiss.- From Bet On A Kiss

Pairing: Dwalin x Reader

Word count: 1807

Warnings: Mentions of sex

Dwalin was known as the grumpy and gruff dwarf but, beside everything he was a true fighter. He fought many battles and the scars were still visible. He may looked tough, but every warrior has a soft spot. Living in the Blue Mountains, he found himself in the forges everyday. Working hard and breaking many a sweat. Dwalin was a lonely dwarf who never wed. Not that he never wanted a wife, he just thought it wasn’t something for him. He could never picture himself with a wife and children. He was alone and he was content with it. Something Balin could never understand. But there were times Dwalin had needs as well. 

Tonight Dwalin stood in front of a brothel. Someplace he’d always promised himself to never turn to, but tonight he did. He despised himself for it. It was located in a dark alley, a secluded place far from town. In front of the entrance hung a thick red velvet curtain. He looked nervously around him, praying he wouldn’t see someone familiar. Two sparsely dressed dwarrowdams walked past by him closely, as they heard them whisper something to each other, words he wished he’d heard. The two women disappeared into another alley. Dwalin looked up to the sky, it was a full moon and the air was cold. He was attempting to sort his thoughts, but he couldn’t. He took a deep breath as he stepped towards the red curtain and pulled it away. 

He stepped into a small room, with in the back a wooden counter. There were dwarrows everywhere he could look. The usually tough and burly dwarf never felt smaller and more insecure than in this very moment.

An older dwarrow welcomed him. “Goodnight master! How may I help you?” She asked politely. 

“I-I’d like a room please.” He answered nervously. Was he really doing this? 

She looked questionable as she furrowed her eyebrows. “Very well! Tonight is not very busy, so we have enough girls to assist you.” She smiled. “Is there anyone of your liking?” 

Dwalin took a quick look around. Sure they were all beautiful but none of them really caught his eye. And then his gaze landed on you. You wore a blue robe, made of a see through linen and left almost nothing to his imagination. You made him think of a warm breeze on a summer evening or a red wine with with hints of peaches and plums. 

“Her.” He said without breaking eye contact with you. “Marvelously!” She said joyful. “Y/N will you take it from here?” 

You nodded and without saying a word you walked up the dark wooden stairs as Dwalin followed you. Walking past by three other doors you reached yours. You didn’t even had a key. When you opened the door you let Dwalin in first, you followed after. Your room was small, and only contained a bed, a couch, a wooden chair and a small cabinet for your belongings, which weren’t many. 

He sat down on the end of the bed while you stood in front of him. “What’s your name?” You asked sudden and you looked into his eyes. You heard the fire crackling in the fireplace behind you. “Dwalin.” He answered shortly as if he wanted to keep it a secret. “Well, I’m Y/N.” He hadn’t shown any reaction. “Is this your first time here?” You wondered when you turned your head sideways a little. He nodded. “Do I need to explain how this works?” You said as you stepped closer to him. Your hand reached for the buckle that kept your robe together but then you felt a large hand on your upper arm. “Don’t.” Dwalin enjoined. “I’ll pay you so you’ll be not getting in trouble.”

“W-why? Am I not what you expected?” You startled and took a step back.

“No no you are. It’s just…” He paused. “It doesn’t feel right.” He said and took a glance at you.

You felt relieved, not understanding why. You’ve done this many times. You put on your grey robe, which covered most of your body now. Dwalin sat down on the old couch and you sat down on a dark brown chair at the opposite of him.

“I have heard about you. You’re well known in the Blue Mountains.” You acknowledged. 

Dwalin chuckled softly, it sounded more like a grumble. “Positive things I hope?”

“Yes, about your battles. How many you’ve won.” You turned your face to him. “But I never expected to meet you in a place like this.”

“Me neither.” He chortled. “What about you?” He questioned.

“I have worked here ever since I was young. I really don’t know anything better than this.”

“Was it your own choice?” He questioned. You shook your head while staring at the wall.

“The lady downstairs, I assume she’s your boss. Does she treat you well?”

“She is, and she does, in her own way.” You shrugged and lied. Dwalin nodded.

“I have a ten-year* old daughter, her name is Mera.” You revealed. “I really don’t want to let her grow up in this wretched place. I hope one day we can escape this. I’m saving every coin I can.” You looked down while fiddling with the fabric of your robe.

Dwalin sighed, his heart was swelled with sympathy. He couldn’t believe he was going to ask this. “Would you like to move into my house?” He asked, glaring at you. 

“Do you really mean that? I’m not sure if I can accept such an offer.” You said surprised. Dwalin nodded. If any other man would’ve asked you this you would’ve definitely said no, you could already guess their intentions. But something about him felt…reliable.

“This is no place for a child to grow up.” He paused. “My house, it’s not big, but it’s decent.” You didn’t know what to say. “You can find a job in town and find your own place for you and your daughter when you’re able to.” He continued, sharing a glance. You could even see a twinkle in his eye.

“I don’t want to seem like as if I’m taking advantage of you.” You said. “I would love to come with you, but aren’t you afraid of what people are going to say?” 

“Couldn’t care less about what the folks may think.” 

You smiled. “Alright, I’ll just go grab my stuff.” You walked towards the drawer as you pulled out a large bag and started to gather your most important stuff. The last thing you packed was a stuffed animal, a rabbit, for Mera. 

“I’ll go fetch Mera.” You said. She was with your friend, Bronn, on the top floor, where the living space was located. “Yes, just take your time.” Dwalin said. 

You walked out of your room, heading towards the stairs and then Bronn’s room when you knocked on the door. “Amad!!” You heard a high pitched voice scream. The door flew open. “Sanûrzud!” You said lovingly as you picked her up, her little arms around you neck. “Shouldn’t you be asleep my dear?” You asked curiously. “No Bronn let me stay up!” You smiled at the chemistry they had.  “No I didn’t! She just didn’t want to sleep!” Bronn chimed in as you laughter followed. 

But then your face turned serious. “Bronn I need to tell you something."

"What is it?" She said when she sat down on her bed. Her long brown hair fell in waves over her shoulders. You sat down next to her with Mera on your lap who quietly snuggled into you.

"We're going to leave tonight." You paused shortly. "Permanently."

Bronn needed to process it all. "Where are you going?"

"I had a client tonight. We didn't do anything, he even gave me money so i wouldn't get in trouble. And he offered me to go with him." You told her.

"I understand, I would've done the same. You want the best for Mera." Bronn acknowledged. 

Tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm going to miss you two girls so much!" She said, hugging the both of you. “We’re going to miss you too!” You said as you embraced her. “We will meet again, I’m sure.” Bronn nodded, almost crying. 

You stood up while carrying Mera on one arm, she fit in perfectly. Bronn walked you towards the door and embraced you once more. “Take care.” She said at last.

While walking down the stairs and towards your room, you felt a relieve. None of these rooms you will ever see again. 

“We’re ready.” You said while standing on the sill and Dwalin rose  from the chair and smiled when he noticed Mera in your arms, who couldn’t fight the battle of sleep. “So this is Mera.” He said, looking delighted, mimicking your expression. You chuckled. “Yes, this is my little ball of sunshine.” His gaze softened. 

You looked around your room, as if you we’re saying goodbye.

“I’ll take your bag.” He said, when he picked it up from your bed.

“You ready?” Dwalin asked. You nodded slowly as your gaze turned to his. 

“Ready.”

Miss Vogur, your boss, looked up disapproving when she saw you walking towards her counter. “And where do you think you’re going?” She never took a liking of you, and when you became pregnant she treated you even worse. No matter how hard you tried to be nice to her, she always found something on you to pick on. “I’m leaving for a better life.”

“A better life.” She almost choked on her words. “You should be thankful to me for taking care of you all these years you ungrateful girl.” Miss Vogur said with a mocking voice. It made you shudder. 

“You were born a whore and you will always be a whore!” She spit the words in your face as you took a step back, in shock. 

“That’s enough!” Dwalin chimed in and stood in front of you protectively. “You’re nothing!” Miss Vogur was the last thing she managed to say when Dwalin led you towards the exit of the building. The sudden quietness and the cold air outside immediately calmed  you down. “What a wretched woman.” He said. “Trust me, I’ve met women worse than her.” You answered with a glance.

You looked down at Mera, who managed to sleep throughout the entire argument. This was really for the best. For the both of you.

“This way.” Dwalin said and gestured towards an alley. You let out a soft sigh as you walked next to him.

This was your way to a new life.
