#blacksmith needed

[lathalea]

Hiii , sorry to bother you

I was just wondering, could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write a part 2 for "blacksmith needed" ? I'm literally dying PLEASE

Hello Nonnie and thank you for dropping by my inbox! 💙

For a while now I’ve been actually working on developing it into a longer story and I’m currently writing chapter 2… are you telepathic? ;) Your ask gave me a huge boost of motivation to write more, thank you 🙏

Anyway, how about a tiny glimpse of the things to come?

“Good day, sister,” Thorin approached Dis, placed the basket on the table, and offered her an embrace. She returned it with a wide smile on her face, but he could not overlook the fact that she looked wan and there were shadows under her eyes. “How are you faring?”

“I am on the mend, thank you,” she waved her hand dismissively and pecked him on his cheek. “What are you doing here, Thorin? I thought you were supposed to visit us in five days.”

“I will be here in five days, and I will bring more food with me this time,” he promised. “I am here to discuss a beneficial trade agreement I was offered yesterday.”

“A trade agreement!” Dwalin huffed. “What a heap of dung!”

“Dwalin!” Balin sighed.

“Don’t listen to him, cousin,” Dwalin stepped towards Dis. “Thorin decided it would be fun to throw his honour and freedom out of the window and marry some scrap of a lass of Men! He has clearly hit himself on his empty head!”

To be continued… :)

💜- top 3 favorite lines

How about some angst? It's been a while, right? Here's a piece from Remember:

Remember those days, Brother…? 

And a whiff of wind lost in the corridors of the Lonely Mountain whispers back.

I remember, Brother…

And I’m waiting.

👻- 2 or 3 sentences from something you haven’t posted yet Okay, since you've asked nicely... ;) Some of you may remember that short ficlet Blacksmith Needed. Things may have happened - I totally blame you @mrsdurin for this and you know why (thank you!) 💙💙💙

“All of this in exchange for… a marriage contract?” Dis frowned. “You and this woman of Men? It is unheard of.”

“Perhaps it is, but the deal is no different from a customary Dwarvish arranged marriage, a mutually beneficial contract. Mahal knows how dearly we need this kind of help at this very moment.”

“Aye, aye, it all sounds very reasonable, but you forget about one thing, brother dear,” she reached into the basket and then placed an object in his hand. “Children.”

Thorin looked down at this curious offering, ignoring the raised voices around him: it was a tiny boot in dire need of mending. A boot that belonged to a little pebble who had to bear the hardships of their life as much as its parents did, and this piece of footwear was the best proof of it. And then a new image appeared in his mind, Mila with a babe in her arms, a little boy, laughing at something, giving the little one a peck on his cheek, while he wiggled in her arms, one of his tiny feet bare, and his hair... not as golden as Mila’s, but as dark as his. Thorin swallowed.
