#balin/bilbo

[wolpertingerprompts]

So I’m going through my wips/ideas folders, and I found this opening paragraph to an idea I had where Bilbo realizes that he has a thing for Balin’s reading glasses. Feel free to shame me, I was lamenting how there aren’t more Balin/Bilbo fics on ao3. I’m not really into The Hobbit anymore right now, so I’m posting it to the graveyard that is this blog in case anyone wants to use it:

-

The first time Bilbo notices Balin's reading glasses, is when the contract is brought out and presented to him. He'd idly noticed them perched on Balin's nose, but at the time, he'd had much bigger things on his mind (like the fact that he had thirteen Dwarves and one infuriating wizard invading his smial). At some point between the reading of the contract and when Bilbo woke up the next morning, the glasses were tucked away again and there was no sign of them once he managed to catch up with the company.

bagginshield fandom how we feeling

just imagine a final panel showing balin’s long suffering face cause he literally just had the same conversation with the hobbit in question five minutes earlier.

there are many benefits to being a royal adviser. getting pestered for dating advice is not one of them.

📕 (Page 2/9) In the original text, Thorin is not only snarky, but impatient, and also apparently very hungry in the mornings!!!

The company: So what's for dinner?

Bombur: I can't tell you, it's a soup-prise!

The company: ...

Gloin: Is it soup?

Bombur: I soup-pose it could be! *winks*

Dwalin: Please, enough with the soup puns!

Bombur: Wow, you're soup-per mean

Thorin: STOP

*one hour later*

The company: It's fucking roast beef?!?!?!?

Bagginshield-tober / Day 4: Company Dialogue transcript below!

Bofur: Now laddie, don't be shy, tell us all about how you got into His Majesty's good graces? Ori: Oh, Master Baggins! So the rumors are true about you and Thorin Oakenshield? Tell me everything in detail if you can. Bombur: With how loving he was hugging Bilbo on the Carrock, I knew he was smitten, Ori! Nori: Bofur, quit teasing the poor thing. He's turning bright red! Dwalin: Master Baggins seems just like your type, Thorin. A gentle fellow, hmm? Balin: Say the word Thorin. Once we reclaim Erebor, I'll have the wedding planned within the week!

Bilbo and Thorin being worried about each other in the thick of danger, we love to see it ♡

A Headcanon For Each Member of Thorin’s Company

Mini post between full request posts! Just felt like jotting these down hehe

✧ Balin knows a little bit of Elvish, but never lets on to that because, quite simply, it’s infinitely funnier not to. What fun would it be letting the elves shit talk him if they knew he picked up on bits of it?

✧ Dwalin’s dream wife is someone super soft and sweet. He’d die before he admits it, but he loves the idea of being the hero for his princess even if he acts like it’s an inconvenience.

✧ Some of it is natural, too, hardening from many of life’s experiences, but part of why Thorin puts on such a tough act is because he actually feels really awkward in conversations. For example, thus man dwarf cannot flirt to save his life.

✧ Oin hates being dismissed because of his hearing, but also? It can so be used to his advantage. The younger ones are squabbling over something stupid and trying to bring him i to it? Oops, sorry lads, can’t hear ya.

✧ Gloin is the proudest father. He can barely go a few minutes without busting out his locket’s picture of Gimli or telling a story about him…or both! Practically ready to throw hands with Bombur, who isn’t even competitive, on who has the coolest son.

✧ Bifur was quite the heartbreaker back in his heyday. He’s still a great flirt, but less people can understand him now so his lines often go unnoticed.

✧ Bofur quietly envies his brother’s family. He may not want fourteen kids or anything, but being around the wee ones warms his heart and he especially lives the idea of having a little girl someday if Mahal so blesses him.

✧ I of course adore the fanon/cast canon that Bombur has a huge family, but also? By dwarf standards his wife is super hot, so the others may make fun of him, but can’t deny that he scores!

✧ Dori is a way better cook than he seems like he is. The role tends to get passed to Bombur as he loves it the most, but since he grew up taking care of his brothers Dori knows his way around the kitchen!

✧ Nori loves cats. If he sees a stray in a village he offers it food and coaxes it over. The others marvel at how much the creatures love him, too, like some sort of instinctive trust.

✧ The others talk big about the ravishing women they’ve seen and he tries to keep up, but Ori doesn’t really actually get it. That’s how he realizes that, even though there isn’t such a word for it, he is demisexual. He also is more attracted to human women, they just seem softer and sweeter to him.

✧ Part of the reason Fili carries so many blades is because he enjoys crafting them. It’s a skill he learned from his uncle Thorin, standing at his side and helping before taking up the craft himself.

✧ Fili was the one who defended Kili from derision by other young dwarves when he chose to learn archery, an unusual form of combat in their culture. From then on, Kili vowed to become stronger and faster so he could defend those he loves, too.

✧ Bilbo bonds with Ori over sewing and knitting, smiling as he learns he has company because quite frankly he never thought a dwarf would know such arts, let alone join him as they teach each other.

📕 (Page 8/9) I'm starting to think that the dwarves didn't start their journey very perceptive 😬

[thethirdtreeofvalinor]

thorin to the company: which one of you dwarves, who i call kin, stole my fucking arkenstone?

thorin to his burglar for hire of a different race he’s known for a year that he’s distrusted for half the journey, in the same breath: it’s you and me against the world

[pilkypills]

the rest of em didn't notice

[thorinswaggerson]

Balin: Bilbo, if you want to court Thorin, you must first understand how truly literal minded dwarves can be. You really have to spell it out if you want to tell him you're interested. Bilbo: Ok. I've got this. *turns to Thorin* I'm extremely attracted to you and I want to be your boyfriend. Thorin: *looking sad* Are you rehearsing so you can propose to your hobbit love back home? Bilbo: Wow.
