~ <3 ~
The sound of birds and soft conversation was what Kaia heard when she began to wake up.
After the events with Thorin last night, he and Kaia had walked back to the camp. Most of the Company was asleep, except Kili and Bofur, both of which had smiled as she returned, and given her a knowing look as Thorin pressed a kiss to her head before settling in for his watch.
She approached the pair, and Kili offered her his hand. Kaia took it, smiling as he pressed a kiss to her knuckles.
“How are you, amrâlimê?” He asks, pulling her down gently to sit between him and Bofur. The hatted dwarf presses a kiss to her temple before he continues whittling away at a piece of wood.
“Better than I have ever been, my love.” Kaia murmurs, resting her head against his shoulder.
“Me too.” Kili says kissing her head.
She didn’t remember falling asleep, but she could remember closing her eyes as Kili and Bofur spoke quietly beside her.
Now, she could feel a soft blanket below her, and a warm arm around her stomach. She was warm, two bodies pressed to her sides.
Cracking open her eyes slightly, she looked up at the bright blue sky, soft rays of sun floating through the overhead leaves. A bird flew over her head, singing a sweet song that had her smiling sleepily.
Moving her head to the right, she came face to face with a sleeping Kili. His face was peaceful, mouth slightly open as he took shallow breaths. Kaia resisted the urge to kiss him, not wanting to wake him up.
She turned her head, and found Fili sleeping on her other side. He was snoring loudly, leg bent over her own, moustache braids out of whack. She lifted one hand up to play with one, and he sighed in his sleep.
Shuffling by her feet made her look away from the blonde prince, Bofur’s head popping into view.
He smiled, before dropping to his knees and army crawling over her. Kaia held back a laugh as he settled above her, giving her a dopey smile.
“Morning.” He greeted, his voice still raspy with sleep.
“Morning.” Kaia chuckled.
He leans forward to press a kiss to her lips, before flicking Fili on the nose, causing him to shake awake.
“Bofur, you fuck.” Fili sleepily groans, swatting him.
Kaia laughs, pushing Bofur away. He nips at her lower lip, before standing and offering her his hand. Kaia kisses Fili’s cheek before standing, letting Bofur guide her towards where the others are eating breakfast.
“Good morning, lass!” Balin greets, smiling brightly at her as she approaches.
“Hello Balin, lads.” She greets them all, and they all offer her nods and smiles. Bombur hands her a bowl of porridge, smiling fondly at her.
As she walks to sit amongst the feasting dwarves, she spots Dwalin. He sits sharpening his axe, but his eyes light up when he sees her. Kaia walks over to him, giving him a smile.
“Good morning, Dwalin.”
“Lass.” He responds, raising his head as she leans down to kiss him. He hums slightly against her lips, a small smile on his face when she pulls away, “I could get used to that.”
“So could I.” Kaia blushes, before taking her seat beside him.
Bofur sits on her other side, pulling out his pipe. “Comfy?” He asks, looking her over.
“I could be comfier.”
“Come here.” Bofur puts his pipe between his lips, extending his arms for her to lie against his chest. As she reclines, Dwalin hooks his hand under her knee, bringing her leg over his own. He nods to himself, content.
Kaia sighs happily, snuggling against Bofur’s chest.
“Comfy?” He asks again.
“Comfiest.” Kaia giggles, and he presses a kiss to her hair.
Bilbo walks into the clearing, slightly damp and running a hand over his face.
“Where’ve you been?” Nori asks, looking over the hobbit.
“I went for a wash.” Bilbo says, accepting a bowl from Bombur.
“You’ve been gone for hours!” Nori chuckles, wiggling his eyebrows, “Get up to anything fun?”
Bilbo blanches, grabbing a twig and throwing it at him. “I will have you know, I had to walk further down the stream… trying to find a place that hasn’t been tarnished by some people’s activities!” The hobbit says, rolling his eyes.
“Ooh, someone’s grumpy this morning.” Bofur laughs, “It’s not like we shagged in the water, we have some decency!”
“Yeah it was against the bank!” Kaia giggles around her spoon. Bofur plays with her hair, smiling innocently at their friend.
“Well, I was worried you might have done things on the rocks around them, too.” Bilbo sighs, shaking his head. “I had to find a boulder away from the camp to leave my clothes to dry.”
Kaia’s eyes widen, and she looks over at Dwalin, as a smile begins to form on the warriors face. “Um… Bilbo. Whereabouts was that rock?” Kaia asks.
“Oh, it’s over there somewhere.” Bilbo points… in the direction of the clearing where Kaia and Dwalin got intimate.
Dwalin laughs heartily, surprising the hobbit. The rest of the dwarves snicker, with Dori tutting and Ori going red. Bilbo eyes the dwarves, confused.
Then his face drops. “No…” He gasps.
“Yes.” Kaia chuckles.
“You didn’t…”
“We did.” Dwalin chuckles.
Bilbo stares at them, jaw dropped and face pale.
“For fucks sake!” Bilbo exclaims, rubbing his hands over his reddening face and pulling at his clothes as if they are tainted.
“Language, master Baggins.” Dori chastises.
“Is there a section of this forest you haven’t shagged in, Kaia?” Gloin chuckles.
“If there is, we’ll rectify that before we leave.” Fili’s voice calls as he enters the clearing. He winks at Kaia, who blushes at him.
“Is that a promise?” She asks, and he grins at her as he leans down to kiss her.
“Might even be a threat.” He growls, nipping at her nose.
The rest of the dwarves settle into a pleasant conversation, as Kaia lets the morning wash over her. She sits with Bofur and Dwalin for a bit, until Bofur leaves to help Bombur and Bifur with washing away their dishes, and Fili takes Bofur's spot beside her.
"Are the princess' catching up on their beauty sleep, or what?" Dwalin grumbles.
Kaia looks around the camp, her eyes searching for Kili and Thorin. No sign of them yet.
"We need to get going soon!" Balin says, shaking off his bedroll as he gives Kaia a look.
"You want me to go wake them?"
"Better you than us!" Gloin comments.
"Yeah, you're the one climbing in their trousers." Nori chuckles, and Fili flicks him around the ear, synchronised with Dori who smacks him around the head, "Alright, alright, no need to gang up on me!"
"You're lucky I'm too far from you, Nori!" Bofur calls over, "Don't talk to our lass like that!"
Fili and Dwalin grunt in agreement, and Kaia kisses them both on the cheek before standing up.
"I'll go check on the remaining Durin's." Kaia sighs, stretching her arms, "Someone's got to keep them in line."
"Thank Mahal that's no longer my job!" Balin chuckles, patting her on the shoulder.
"There's three of them, you know." Dwalin says, earning a faux-hurt look from Fili.
"And I have all my faith in Kaia being the one to keep them in line." Balin says, sending her a wink.
She smiles back at him, before walking away from the clearing, in search of her One and her missing lover.
-
Kili remained asleep. More spread out now than he had been when she left, his legs splayed in an unnatural way and his arms wrapped around Kaia's blanket.
She smiled at the sight, before biting back a laugh at a particularly loud and un-princely snore Kili emitted.
Crouching by his side, Kaia reached down to tuck a strand of his wild hair behind his ear, his pretty face visible to her now.
"Kili..." She murmurs, dragging her finger over his cheek, "Kili, darling, you need to wake up."
Kili groans, stretching his arms out but makes no move to get up.
"Kili." Kaia chuckles, running her hand sthrough his hair, before lightly tugging on it. Kili gasps slightly, his eyes opening as he looks u at her.
"That was a dirty play."
"Yeah, well, got your attention, didn't it?" Kaia smirks, leaning down to press a kiss to his cheek.
His arms extend and warp around her waist, pulling her down to him.
"Kili!" Kaia exclaims, as she is held tightly against his chest. The dwarf merely hums, nuzzling against her as he keeps his arms locked around her. "Kili, let me go."
"No." He grumbles, voice raspy, "Mine."
Kaia giggles, kissing his nose, "We need to get up..." He doesn't move, "The others are getting ready to go..." He remains still, "...You're going to miss breakfast."
He opens his eyes, giving her a sly grin, "Okay, you've convinced me."
"Knew it."
Kili releases her, rising and offering her his hand as she climbs up also. "Such a gentleman."
"Of course, I am a prince!" Kili says, giving her a dramatic bow. Kaia laughs, smiling at him warmly. As he stands up, he beams at her, taking her hands in his own, "And you're my princess."
"Oh, is that so?"
"It is. You've got my bead to prove it." He pecks her lips, before trailing kisses over her nose and cheeks. "Amralime."
"I love hearing you say that."
"Then I will say it to you every day for the rest of our lives."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Kaia drags her thumb over his hand, resting her forehead against his own as they stand in silence for a moment.
"You should go grab breakfast now." Kaia whispers, bumping her nose with his, "Before Bilbo takes your share as his second breakfast."
"Over my dead body." Kili mumbles, pressing a kiss to her forehead before he dashes off.
She chuckles slightly, fingers fiddling with her braid. Kili's bead is rough, imperfect but beautiful, detailed and full of love... just like him.
Trying to keep her dopey smile at bay, she wanders off in search of their fearless leader.
-
Finding Thorin took more work. His bedroll was laid out near enough the rest of the group, but he was nowhere to be found. Kaia searched the bushes and the cave nearby, but no sign of him.
After almost giving up, she heard some distant snores.
Thorin was sat beneath a tree, axe in his lap and a sharpening stone in his hand. His head was leaning against the tree, face peaceful as he slept.
Kaia quirked her head at him, coming to the conclusion that he had drifted off during his watch.
Knowing what he was like when he first woke up, especially armed, she decided to grab a small stone and throw it at him. It landed squarley in his chest, and (as she expected), he sat bolt up right, holding his axe up as he looked around.
Seeing her, he lowered it, letting out a sigh.
Kaia points at him, "See I knew that was going to happen."
"What?"
"That you would be on guard the second something touched you." Kaia smiles, "I would like to keep all my limbs, Oakenshield."
Thorin hums, resting his axe back down on his thigh.
"You know... when we get to Erebor, you're going to have to let your guard down when you sleep. Especially if you're going to wake up next to me."
Thorin gives her a small smile. Almost unnoticeable, but the gentle crinkle around his eyes told her it was genuine, "Aye. I imagine that would be the case."
Kaia crouches at his feet, resting her hands over his calves and drawing lazy circles over them.
"I'm still a novice when it comes to dwarven customs." She starts, avoiding his eye as she caresses his leg, "If we get to Erebor-"
"When."
"Huh?" Kaia asks, looking up at him.
"When we get to Erebor." Thorin says. He looks more relaxed today than he had been yesterday morning... or any morning Kaia had seen him. It makes her glow, inside out.
"Haven't seen you so sure in a while."
"Perhaps I have a new reason to be optimistic."
Kaia blushes, looking away. She hears him moving, and feels his strong hands wrap around her, pulling her close to rest against his chest. His axe lays at his side, his hands laid gently upon her waist and arm, calloused fingers
"You were asking me something." His voice rumbles.
"Oh, right." Kaia clears her throat, "When we get to Erebor... If all goes the way I hope, me and Kili will court, properly. And then, I imagine we'll marry. What does that mean for the rest of you? My lovers?"
"In what sense?"
"When will I see the rest of you? I imagine we won't all be sleeping in one massive, fuck off bed. Do I seek you out after the sun has fallen, like some night stalking hyena?" She jests, prodding his chest. He laughs, his chest vibrating and sending pleasant sensations along her body.
"No, sweet girl. Whenever you need us, we will be there."
"And what if I don't need you, but I want you? ...And miss you?"
"Missing me already?" Thorin asks, smirking slightly.
"Oh, yes, you're so far! At least the distance of a fly's wing." Kaia pouts, and he leans down to press a kiss to her lips.
"To answer your question; it is customary for a dwarrowdams' lovers to live either in her home, or near it. That way she can see them whenever she wants, and they her. From what I know and from what I have seen, even when her lovers do not live with her, they will spend most of their free time by her side."
"Like ducklings?"
"Yes, like ducklings."
"But you will be king. Fili, the heir. Dwalin, your guard. I could probably drag Bofur with me by his hat for the rest of my days-"
"I cannot imagine he would complain."
"-But what about you guys?" Kaia asks, feeling anxious now thinking about it.
It was all well and good them saying they would be her lovers, when they were out in the wilds, on a dangerous quest. But when they return to their kingdom, gods be good, they will have duties, Thorin will be king for crying out loud... and who is she? A farmer, an orphaned human with no titles, no family, nothing to offer...
"We will be wherever you wish us to be." Thorin says, voice quiet and earnest.
"You cannot promise that."
"I cannot promise anything, other than our love, and our devotion. Completely." He whispers, kissing her forehead, "We take lovers very seriously, ghivashel. You will be the king's consort, as well as his heirs lover and his prince's One. You will live with us in the royal chambers."
"And Dwalin and Bofur?"
"I imagine Dwalin would not be opposed to living either with us or right by us. I cannot imagine he would want to stray to far from either of our sides. And Bofur... well I imagine he'll be like our cat, sleeping on the floor of our hallway."
"Thorin!" Kaia laughs, shaking her head. He laughs with her, playing with her fingers.
"Alright. We'll get him a bed." Thorin sighs heavily, rolling his eyes with a small smile on his face.
"I'm sure he wouldn't ask for a large one. Just one big enough for him and his hat."
They share a chuckle, staring down at their entwined hands.
"What I am trying to say, Kaia, is that we are bound together now. All six of us. When you need us, want us, miss us, we will be right beside you. Sure, you may occasionally have to pull me away from an important council meeting, or drag Dwalin away from training someone half to death, or pry Bofur away from hat-maintenance related tasks... but we will always be there, my heart. Always."
"Thank you, Thorin." Kaia murmurs, happy tears threatening to break. They remain in each-others arms, fingers dancing over one anothers, admiring each others callouses and scars from their own lives before each other, pressing kisses to any skin they wanted to as they enjoyed a peaceful moment.
"Alright, I'm getting sick of all this loved up, sappy shit, can we just have sex or something?" Kaia jokes, bumping Thorin's chin with her forehead.
"You really are insatiable, aren't you, ‘Ibinê?" Thorin chuckles, leaning his head down to nip along her jawline.
"Seeing as I will be tending to the needs of five dwarves for the rest of my days, I think that is a blessing." kaia says, enthusiastically receiving Thorin's heated kiss.
"You are a blessing, sweet girl."
-
After half an hour of... tenacious activities, Kaia and Thorin walked back to the clearing. His arm was settled around her waist, as she told him a story about her parents.
He seemed to enjoy listening to her as she talked, and she was more than willing to oblige him.
As they neared the Company, a raised voice caught their attention. It sounded like Bilbo.
"Oh no." Kaia says, sighing.
"Do you wager it was my nephews, Bofur, or Nori who has enraged our burglar this time?"
"Can I say all of them?"
Approaching the group, Kaia's smile returned when she set her sights on a much taller individual.
"Gandalf!" She greets, and he turns around to offer her a large smile.
"Kaia, my dear girl!" The wizard says, accepting her hug and patting her on the head, "It's nice to see someone is happy to see me."
"You disappeared, Gandalf!" Bilbo exclaims, hands on his hips.
“I’ve been gone five minutes!” Gandalf chuckles.
“No you bloody haven’t!” Bilbo scoffs, placing his hands on his hips, “It’s been days!”
“Alright, alright, Bilbo.” Gandalf shakes his head, before giving Kaia a smile, “Congratulations, anyway, Kaia!”
Kaia raises her eyebrows at him, looking around at the others. They shrug, confused as well.
"Congratulations for what, Gandalf?"
"On your courting with Kili, of course!" He chuckles, before giving her a knowing look, "And joining in on dwarvish customs. Four lovers in one evening is certainly a record, my dear."
"Knew it!" Nori says, earning an elbow from Oin. Kaia just laughs, shrugging.
"Which one of them told you?" She asks, looking over the Company.
"None of them." The wizard shrugs, "I had a feeling."
This earns him a further confused look from the human lass, and Gandalf leans down to her, keeping his voice quiet.
"Why do you think I insisted on you joining us all those weeks ago?" Gandalf muses, giving her a conspiratory wink. She scoffs, shaking her head but unable to keep a smile from playing on her lips.
“Finished!” Ori calls from across the camp, blowing over the piece of paper he had been scribbling on.
“What have you got there, Ori?” Nori asks, looking over his brother’s shoulder. A smile breaks out on his face, and he ruffles his brothers hair.
“That’s marvellous, that is!” Dori says, beaming at his brother.
“What is?” Kaia asks.
Ori stands and walks over to her, crouching beside her as he shows her his drawing. Kaia gasps, sitting up as she looks in awe at the paper.
It’s a drawing of Kaia, and her five dwarrows. There are six individuals drawings, five smaller ones around the edges with a larger one in the middle. The five drawings include Kaia with each one of her lovers;
Kaia and Kili as he braids her hair, then Kaia with her head on Fili’s shoulder as he holds her hand.
In one, she’s leaning against Bofur’s chest while she laughs at what he says, and in another, Dwalin and Kaia are walking hand in hand back to camp.
In the last smaller one, Kaia and Thorin are sitting next to each other as Kaia tends to a wound he received a few weeks back.
In the centre, the larger picture shows Kaia with all five of them, surrounded by them all as they smile. She's wearing one intricate braid down one side of her head with smaller braids littered through her hair.
It was truly beautiful, and she wraps her arms around Ori in a hug as he gives it to her. “Thank you, Ori.”
“You’re welcome, Kaia.” Ori says, smiling at her.
“Aw, my hat looks great!” Bofur beams, tipping his hat.
“I do not smile that like.” Dwalin grumbles, and Kaia smacks his chest.
"Amazing, Ori!" Fili says, with a wide smile on his face, "I hope you realise that when we get to the mountain, I'm going to be asking you to make me a dozen drawings of us all!"
“We’ll put that in our chambers when we get to Erebor.” Kili murmurs, kissing the spot below her ear.
Kaia beams, leaning into him as she traces her fingers over the charcoal faces of her dwarves.

fantasy biology but it’s weird and kinda horrifying like real biology: reproduction
was thinking of a few posts a while back about fantasy reproductive biology and was Inspired by recent Wikipedia rabbit holes, so
Elves are technically all female, and reproduce by self-fertilization. Elves are long-lived enough that they do not quickly accrue harmful mutations and deleterious effects from this. However, they have another mechanism to mitigate the harmful effects of self-fertilization: they regularly engage in horizontal gene transfer with the endosymbiotic algae that live in their skin! These algae act as a reservoir for genetic diversity. Some elves also have similar exchanges with the parasitic plants that grow on their heads…yeah no, those are not flower crowns.
Dark elves do not have the recourse of algae, and are instead similarly symbiotic with fungi.
Goblins are like fungi: they don’t have differentiated gametes, and thus no real biological basis to call them “male” and “female.” When goblins reproduce, two goblins will come together and merge, splitting into four “sibling” goblins that are combinations of the parents’ genes! The siblings also retain some of their parents’ memories, meaning goblin history is literally passed down biologically!
The exception to this is goblins that live deep underground, adapted to blindly navigate in the darkest caves. It’s pretty hard for goblins to find other unrelated goblins to create offspring with, so instead, some goblins, termed “King” or “Queen” goblins (though as I said, goblins don’t have differentiated gametes like that), will grow to an abnormally large size and roam about seeking mates. When a King/Queen goblin merges with another goblin, it does not split into offspring, but instead absorbs the other goblin, a little like a female anglerfish does to her mates. After a long time, King/Queen goblins begin living a stationary life, producing new goblins from amalgamated genetic material by budding. The goblin hordes will take care of the King/Queen goblin until the horde grows too large, at which point some goblins will migrate to new territory, beginning the cycle anew.
Orcs are all born male. The biggest, strongest orc (or sometimes pair of orcs) in an orc band will become female, much like a clown fish, and will be protected by the rest of the band, spared the risks of an Orc warrior’s dangerous fighting lifestyle, so her genes will get passed on the most, and subsequent generations of Orcs will be strong. Orcs do not, however, share human concepts of gender, and many Orc warriors that spend time in human society decide they feel more affiliated with what humans think of as “women” anyway.
Dwarves, like some reptiles, develop based on the temperature of the caves they are raised in. Dwarves in cooler caves grow up to be male; dwarves in warmer caves grow up to be female. Female dwarves are associated with the fire of the forges and the power of creation. Dwarves are not, however, sexually dimorphic, and asking whether a dwarf is “really” male or female is deeply personal and offensive, since an individual’s ability to become pregnant is invariably none of the asker’s business. It is common for dwarves to reject any affiliation with gender entirely, but those that care for that sort of thing have some very elaborate and colorful genders.
Halflings are a little like slugs; they are all capable of producing both types of gametes simultaneously. They also recombine genes like crazy. A halfling can have a single biological parent or over a dozen—though too many parents is discouraged, because it creates halflings that have to roam about too much to find unrelated partners when they grow up. It also means that inheritance can get pretty complicated.
Not one of my normal posts, but:
Who do you think would go hunting for the Company during their travel to Erebor?
Would it be Dwalin?
Bifur?
Would Kili and Fili go out to hunt for the food?
Or would it be Thorins purpose also, to provide for his companions as the leader of the adventure.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I’ve thought overnight about it, and:
I’ve got a lineup (from most often to least often)!!!
1. Gloin (we all know this man makes everything a completion, his game is the best, his wife is the best, his hair is the nicest copper color, his son is the best, we could go on and on) he prides himself on the kill he makes for the company.
2. Bifur I cannot use words to describe how vicious yet clean this dwarrow is with his kills. When Bifur kills an animal, it is left so perfectly, it looks like it’s alive, perfect for cooking and using every bit of the body they need
3. Suprisingly is Dwalin! We know our warrior is a bit rough around the edges all over, but he cares for his fellow kin in a subtle way, such as making sure they eat so they can “Put that food to good use and use your brain for once!”
4. Fili and Kili (cuz they a duo) Kili normally does the killing of Deer and such with his arrow, while Fili will take down physically with a dagger, Fili normally goes for the neck right away, Kili goes for the lungs of what he shoots at when hunting
A recent series of commissions for a D&D group. The character descriptions had a good sense of humor (a plum smuggling Elf, a socially awkward Dragon/Wizard, etc). I tried to take the Alex Toth approach and kept it simple, stupid. I don’t often get to do one off character designs so I had a lot of fun drawing these.

@likeadeadbattery this what I’m talking about
My new D and D character Vallen Gadson a Dwarf Swashbuckler/Alchemist for an upcoming campaign. If you like this picture and want me to draw your OC let me know
