The ending gave me a lot of feelings so I went back and drew one of the happy middle parts.  Featuring Dain fishing with Fili, Kili, Thorin Dainul, Gimli, and Gimris, whose ages I may have guesstimated/fudged for optimal adorableness.  Also featuring a piglet and a picnic, staples of every happy occasion.

Oh my gosh. ..!!!

Kili showing little thorin Stonehelm how it’s done! Gimris on dain’s lap! COSY SNUFFLY PICNIC PIGGY AHHHH I LOVE IT THANK YOU SO MUCH

So Gimris was helping deliver one of Bombur’s grand babies a few chapters ago – did Bombur live long enough to meet that little one?

Yes, he did. Geri’s child, Gara, was born later that night after a very tricky labour. The baby was breech, and so there was a lot of touch-and-go. 

Bombur met her briefly, and he held her once. He is very good at holding babies, after all. “Hello, little love,” he said in his soft, shy voice. “I am your grandpa, and I love you already.”

“That’s your nose,” Gimris said, smiling tiredly.

“Nah, it’s hers,” he said, and tapped it with a gentle finger. “That’s her perfect little nose, that is.”

The baby, exhausted after her tricky entry into the world and with the opportunistic ability of all newborns, blinked with her unfocused little eyes, and promptly fell asleep.

At some point, Dori makes Gimli and Gimizh matching sweaters. Gimizh just about explodes with happiness.

OH MY GOOOODDD

HE WOULD

HE UTTERLY, TOTALLY, COMPLETELY WOULD. And he’d badger Gimli into wearing it all the time, so that they would match as often as possible. Gimris would shake her head and try to hide her smile. Dori would be pleased. Bofur would giggle aloud at the look on Gimli’s face. Because it’s one thing to wear it at home, but quite another to try and pair it with his armour and gear for patrol. 

Mahal help the first Dwarf who laughs.

Erebor with all sorts of little hanging gardens for herbs and plants. For kitchens and the medics and to keep the air fresh. Gimris has made little glass containers for many of the ones in the healers’ areas. Gimizh always snacks on the edible herbs.

Awwww, I love that idea! I also think Dwarves would cultivate bioluminescent plants. Just. Yeah.

(ohmygod, Gimris as a herb-gardener – I am sold on this headcanon, yes yes! She absolutely has the stubbornness and the attention to detail needed. And she’s not in the slightest afraid of muck: she’s a doctor. She’d have to wrap her hair and beard up to do it, though – dirt and mud in hair that long is not a fun time!)
