And Kíli is married to Tauriel (or another Non-Dwarf spouse, or two)...
Then with Fíli married to Ori, the potential for shenanigans is further strengthened.
If we go with the headcanon that Ori grew up as childhood friends with the brothers, then he would know intimate details about Fíli, Kíli and Thorin's lives. He could tell the other consorts things they wouldn't know.
Also, Ori might be quiet, but he could be mischievous, too. Ori could teach the other consorts about certain Dwarven cultural things that maybe Bilbo, Tauriel, etc. wouldn't know? Which could be used for good, or pranking.
I just think that you can take this in A LOT of directions, but there's POTENTIAL.
(Also, platonic bonding moments? Family fluff? Friendship and fluff?)
The line of Durin's spouses would need to bond to survive them all. /lighthearted, joking. Lol.
Thráin is SO over his family in an Erebor Never Fell AU I'm writing. He loves them, but he wishes they would love Dwarven nobility instead.
However, rather than that there's....
Thorin - In love with Bilbo Baggins.
Frerin - In love with the Crown Prince of the Greenwood, AKA Legolas.
Dís - In love with Lobelia Bracegirdle.
Fíli - In love with his childhood best friend who is NOT a noble, AKA Ori.
Kíli - In love with the Crown Princess of Dale, AKA Sigrid.
Thráin, at some point, during a family dinner - "Does anyone in this family wish to marry a Dwarf?"
Fíli - *raises his hand*
Thráin - NOT YOU. *face palm*
Also, Thráin - One of your children WILL be in an arranged marriage to Dwarven nobility.
Everyone else, humoring him - Of course, Adad. / Sigin'Adad.
(Otherwise known as the only fic I am writing Thráin so far where he isn't an asshole, but a family Dwarf who loves them but is very TiredTM. Lol.)
ALSO, for age context - Sigrid is in her 30s, only having just gotten together with Kíli, meanwhile, mentally Fíli, Kíli, and Ori are her age equivalents.
Bilbo would therefore then be nearing his 70s, etc.
This moodboard is based off of my entry for Day 1: Yearning, where I posted Beside The Sea, I'll Wait For You.
"Sigrid rose to her feet, running for the sand, uncaring whether her dress became wet once she reached them both. Soon, arms surrounded her, the scent of salt and sea clinging to their bodies, and then her. Even so, in them a home existed for her, where it didn't with anyone else."

Self-rec time! What are your favorite five fics that you've written and why? After replying to this ask, feel free pass on to five other writers to spread the love. 💗
Ooh, thank you SO much for this ask! I needed some time to think about it, because the last time I was asked, I had even less posted. Now, I've got 175 things on AO3, and... yeah. Lol. (So, I think it can be assumed by this point that anything KnittedLion is my absolute fave, and for that reason, I am going to skip over a few of theirs in favor of other rarepair fics I've been thoroughly loving writing then reading.)
The other times I've answered this are here, here, and here, so I'm going to go down the line from those. <3 (Leaving everything under the cut, because this is quite a long post.)

16. A Love Worth Waiting For
Rating: E
Pairing (s): Fem!Fíliori (KnittedLion), Kíliel
Word Count: 18,875 words. (COMPLETE)
Summary:
When Lady Orianna, known to those closer to her as Ori, and her cousin Tauriel visit the estate of Lord Duke Thorin Durin, both are allowed love stories of their own choosing at last.
OR: Fíli and Ori's respective meddling but loving family members who know each of them well, also known as Kíli and Tauriel, try their hand at matchmaking, leading to the best possible outcome. The result surprises only the two women drawn together, who find in each other a once in a lifetime love story wholly their own.
Explanation: So, essentially, I just love this fic for the story itself. Which, if I hadn't been sick whilst writing it, or had a deadline, I would have actually expanded a bit more. There were many things I wanted to include, but due to time constraints, could not. Overall, I am very proud of this fic, for my first Regency, and I just really love Fíli and Ori here, as well as their various family members who make an appearance. I made a playlist for it, and have a Gigolas sequel planned, because I love it that much. It lives rent free in my head always, and is a comfort fic I re-read often.
17. Making A Memory
Rating: E
Pairings (s): Fíliori (KnittedLion), but there's minor pairings, the most notable ones being Kíliel and Gigolas.
Word Count: 30,995 words. (COMPLETE)
Summary:
Ori and Fíli both thought they would never see each other again. However, thanks to one best friend and the best brother ever, that isn't the case.
After years of not talking following their initial break up, they finally work it out the night of Gimli's stag do, thanks to Kíli's meddling.
What happens after is a second chance to begin anew, whilst making a memory, or two.
Explanation: This fic began for a number of reasons, but it took over my brain at various points during the last year and is one I repeatedly return to, personally. I love the second chance romance of it all, as well as two individuals having to re-learn each other in who they have become after having time apart to grow on their own. That and the bits of commentary I made on various little things regarding Queerness, overall. Two imperfect people, loving each other again, just gets me all mushy, I guess. Also, casual mentions of other Queer representation that are not as often shown. (This fic, like the one above, was actually meant to be longer, but I decided to focus in on KnittedLion, so that greatly reduced what I inevitably posted as the final draft.) Also, also, yes, Making a Memory by Bon Jovi was on repeat as I wrote it, though there IS a happy ending, and no cheating involved at all. Also x3, yes, there is a sequel full of fluff, tenderness, and some smut. Because I adored the initial fic so much, and I need them to have a happier fic after what I put them through. Lol.
18. Forever Begins Now
Rating: General
Pairings (s): Fíliori (KnittedLion)
Word Count: 500 words. (COMPLETE)
Summary:
Fíli and Ori were friends and then childhood sweethearts years ago, eventually separated by time and unfortunate circumstances. Before they were parted, the two made necklaces for the other to wear, which unbeknownst to them both, they each continued wearing years later.
That is, until they meet again in Bag End.
The two are overjoyed to see each other finally. Meanwhile, though a quest is about to begin, so is their love story all over again.
Explanation: This is just the shortest and fluffiest little fic, which I hope to turn into a full-length multi-chapter, one day. I love the concept and the song & edit that made me want to write it to begin with. I re-read it often, ngl.
19. Catalyst
Rating: E
Pairing (s): Kigolas (Archer4Archer)
Word Count: 2,005 words.
Summary:
Kíli was searching the greenery around the mountain when he came across him.
Prince Legolas.
Except, unlike the last time they had crossed paths many years before, he didn't look quite so regal.
OR: Kíli discovers Legolas in heat and offers him assistance. They snark and have smut about it. Somewhere along the way, a certain prince discovers perhaps he doesn't dislike the other quite so much, after all.
Explanation: This pairing took over my brain recently. After writing this fic, which I've re-read for fun a few times already, I cannot help but ship these two so hard. I love their dynamic here, and I want to continue in that vein with them elsewhere, as well. However, this actually has a sequel I can't wait to finish, eventually.
20. To Forge Hearth and Home
Rating: Teen
Pairing (s): Kíli/Sigrid (Kígrid)
Word Count: 18, 945 words. (ONGOING.)
Summary:
Sigrid knows next to nothing about Dwarves, except some saved her and her siblings' lives when they were children, fifteen years ago. Since then, she has had little contact with them unless it was necessary for diplomacy.
Kíli knows something of Men but isn't terribly impressed, and even a bit wary of them, given their poor treatment of Dwarves at large.
Soon, they are to be wed when tensions between Dwarves and Men reach a boiling point. In each other, they will eventually find their One, as much as hearth and home.
Explanation: I fell in love with this pairing by accident, as I have with many rarepairs. This fic is actually the first fic dedicated to them as a couple where they're not shipped with anyone else. Though I prefer to let Sigrid have adventure and not go the traditional route with her of another Arranged Marriage AU, this idea took hold and would NOT let go. Now, I'm building it into something beyond simply the relationship between her and Kíli, though I really love them together. They just make sense to me in my brain and are SO adorable. Regardless, I love them both as characters and have enjoyed writing from both of their POVs more in various fics.
This portrayal of my favorite Hobbit OT3 is loosely based off of them in one of my fic verses. As first shown here, in Warmth Despite the Cold (With Us You Always Have a Home) - skatesfullofsunshine - The Hobbit - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:
Kíli's stroll through Dale one day leads to him meeting Sigrid; a woman with wicked knife handling skills and a sharp eye for bullshit. However, as much as he is endeared to her then, the same can be said in reverse, which leads to a love story of their own making, that no one could have seen coming. Not even them.
Meanwhile, Lobelia is a little Hobbit, in a big mountain. She agreed to leave her comfortable life behind, to follow Dís back to Erebor for love, after a whirlwind wedding in Bree. Can she survive the world of rocks, runes and royalty?
