Dis headcanon: Dis tried to keep busy while Thorin, Fili, and Kili were away on the quest, so she decided to make something for each of them. For Thorin, she added jewels to a dagger he’d made, runes for protection and a long life. For Kili, she had someone make a beautiful case for his art supplies and bought a few new ones, replacing ones that needed it. For Fili, she made him a few new beads for his braids (he was so proud of his mustache braids). She couldn’t look at them after the battle.

*whimpers very quietly* aaargh.

Did you see them lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried
Did you see them lying side by side?
Who will wake them? No-one ever will
No-one ever told them that a summer’s day can kill

“That gives an entirely new flavour to the motives behind the Long-Expected Party, and Bilbo’s disappearance, hmmm gdi I would totally read a fic about that, aargh” ~~~ Surely you have read The Great Shire Conspiracy? (o god i love that story, i want to print a thousand copies and thrust it at strangers on the street “have you read the gospel of our saviour Avelera? it will change your life”)

Ker-rist, yes I have and how the hell did I forget about TGSC?! whoops SORRY MAGGIE U KNOW I ADORE YOU (and sobbing angst fanboy Nali, ofc)

(thank you for reminding me, Nonnie!)
