Bomris and Dori just having the quietest, most contented tea parties. Dori makes all sorts of sweets – a mix of the cheap, easy ones that were all that he and Bomris could make for their littles in Ered Luin, and the fancy, delicate ones with the expensive ingredients that he could splurge on in Erebor. There is tea – sometimes the think, sweet workers’ tea, and sometimes expensive tea from the Eastern or Southern dwarves’ quarters. They clink their cups together and sip.

*wibbles* ohhhhhhh

Dori totally goes on an agressive mothering spree in his first few months in the Halls. Nori and Ori (and pretty soon, Bifur) are awash in new clothes and knitwear. Their hair is braided. They are fed massive amounts of food. Dori meets Bifur’s mom and makes an especial cause of feeding her.

Bomris and Dori. Dori and Bomris. 

BOMRIS AND DORI.

He’d be so gentle. She’d be so gentle. THEY’D BE SO GENTLE. 

At some point after he arrives in the Halls, Dori accidentally tries to mother Hrera. There is a massive indrawn breath. Everyone waits for the inevitable explosion.

LOLOLOL, OH DEAR! I love it Nonnie! Everyone waiting for Hrera to blister Dori with the sheer force of her personality.

Except the explosion probably wouldn’t come.

Hrera would be all

There is a collective, unspoken “uh-oh.”

And then she would suggest, rather stiffly: “Dori, dear. Tea?”

And Dori would likely draw himself up and nod, and there would be tea and maybe cake. Polite, stilted conversation would eventually become sympathetic nodding as they chatted about the utter impossibility of relatives. And the Halls would quake, because that is one hell of a formidable team.

(Hrera understands. This is something she has in common with Dori, in fact. She understands that urge to care for people that is so powerful that you cannot help but become a fusser. She understands what it is like to ache for those you love, never able to care for them ever again. And she understands what it is like, those first few months having them back – how all-consuming it can feel, how frantic the need to look after them, look after them. She gets it.)

Okay so I already have a lot of feelings about Dori meeting his brothers again in the Halls, but what about his mother? Dori apologizing to her over and over for not protecting his brothers well enough, and Zhori hugging him tight and telling him that’s nonsense, that she’s grateful that he worked so hard to keep the family together for so long after she was gone. Dori breaking down crying, because he’s had to BE the oldest and the parent for so long that he’s forgotten how it felt to HAVE one.
