AUGH CUTIES. YES.

But Dain with all the people in the Halls!!!!! Frerin is probs going to have another inadequate-younger-brother fit. Balin and Dain are going to have an awkward “I don’t want to tell you I told you so” moment. Hrera descends in a fit of braiding and decides that Dain is even better in person. Nain and Daeris (and Gror + spouse) are fit to burst in (grand)parental pride.
(Heeeeee, I am looking forward to the Dain + Frerin moments. It’s going to be super cute, I hope you will like it! Frerin, for once, is going to be very very happy.)
LOL, Hrera trying to braid Dain’s hair and nearly screeching because he won’t stop making quips that cause her to lose her concentration.
Nain having a huge mutually proud heart-to-heart with Thrain (that ends in a beer – or twelve). Daeris Greyswords sparring with her son for the first time in over two centuries… and losing (well, he was just a little lad when she died).
Gror and Stera (who was a Guildmaster in the Iron Hills, she led the Healer’s Guild) fussing over him constantly – and Dain smiling and letting it happen because he’s missed it so. (Gror and Stera were the ones to care for Dain through his recuperation after he returned to the Iron Hills following Azanulbizar).
And Thror coming up to Dain and quietly thanking him for restoring his home and his life’s work to its former glory.
Expecting some massive crushing Durin guilt when little Durin grows up and reclaims Moria. Hrera practically pulls her hair out by the roots worrying about her hubby and her son. Dain worries frantically for his grandkid.

OUCH NONNIE.
Thrain and Nain totally have the best underrated brotp. First cousins without sibs? Super-close. Also feat. Fundin and Groin. They all get together and brag about their kids and bake cookies.
*kisses post and frames it on the wall*
YES.
Since we have no idea what Groin was doing during Azanulbizar, I posit that he was with the combat healers, as was Oin (if Dain and Dwalin and Gloin were there). It was one of Groin’s greatest regrets that he was on the opposite side of the field when his wife, brother and sister-in-law died, even though he knows he couldn’t have saved them. Groin then found himself with four dwarflings (his sons and nephews) to take care of by himself, while stopping his cousin Thrain from doing anything stupid
AUGH NO

Thror and Gror having a state visit after Nain is born where they just go and hang out for a while, leaving weedy fifteen-year-old Thrain with the baby. They come back to find them both asleep. Nain is mostly on Thrain’s head, bottom in the air.
AUGH TOO MUCH CUTE I MUST BECOME ONE WITH THE PILLOW

When Frís became pregnant with Thorin, Thráin was ecstatic and when she announced her expectation of Frerin he could barely control his excitement and now she is giving birth to their third child. justatouchofgoldsickness

SO. EFFING. CUTE. Thank you so much Battlepig! THIS IS SO ADORABLE. (and it’s now the only explanation I will accept for why Dis is called ‘sister’ yaaas)
*whispershouts* THRAIN THE GOOD DAD YESSS
What were the company’s families thinking, watching the quest? Were Fundin and Groin arguing over whose sons were better at killing goblins? Zhori wishing she could knock Dori and Nori’s heads together? I imagine it could have been a very frustrating experience, watching that journey.
Yes, VERY frustrating, Nonnie! It’d take too long to cover absolutely everything – there are a lot of moments during the quest that would affect different parents more than others, for example, and to detail them all would be exhausting. So here’s some brief overviews of how they acted for the majority of the time.
Fundin and Groin TOTALLY argued. Fundin and Groin ALWAYS argue. Unless someone attacks them/their loved ones. Then they turn it all onto that person like a spotlight, hahaha! BETTER RUN, THE SONS OF FARIN ARE COMING.
(aaaaand Fundin won that particular time. Well, it’s Dwalin. Awesome as Oin and Gloin are, Dwalin is sorta a one-Dwarf army!)
Dweris and Haban watched their boys with approval. And their husbands with exasperation. Who were the children here? URGH.
Zhori watched with annoyance, mostly, her lips pursed. Silly boys. And who is doing Ori’s hair these days, tcch. He looks like a mushroom!
Genna and Bomfur were very proud. Their lads were doing a good thing. (though Genna worries a bit). And they passed the time by commenting on everything and making off-colour jokes.
Nain and Daeris were tense. Oh dear Mahal, no. Not another battle, not another bloody summons. Family reunions are not exactly that family’s forte.
Bomris was quiet and worried, her hands wringing. Kifur was hopeful, and tried to reassure her.
Vili watched with a mixture of pride, irritation, and desperate concern. Pair of little terrors. Good shot, that’s my boy! OH, you pair of ragamuffins. Oooh, nice move. Your mother would skin you for that! No – no, pay attention to – oh, now you’ve done it. Stop being so much like me and keep your mind on the job, are you trying to get yourself killed?
Thrain and Fris, of course, worried constantly. But under that worry lay a tiny thread of desperate hope: will Thorin succeed where we all failed?
