“Off or Through?” // sons of durin-verse; gen

Title: “Off or Through?”

Rating: Gen, no warnings

Summary: After the events at Beinn Chuirn, Bilbo retreats back to his flat with two bothersomingly fond young men who have a habit of speaking in riddles to each other.

Word count: 509

A/N: I don’t really write fic….at all….but this idea plagued me while I was trying to sleep last night and through my classes today. It’s based off of the Sons of Durin verse (which I hope KivrinEngle won’t mind!), where the little canon-ity comes up a few times that Kili and Fili speak in this odd sort of clipped English. This ended up with Kili eventually not learning proper English until he was around four, because Fili always knew what he wanted without normal speech, and it occasionally comes up, even as young men.

I’m still working my way through the Children of the Lonely Mountain, so apologies if this has been done. Also, there’s a couple of translation notes on the boys’ speech at the end, if you’re curious! …And I’m sorry for my theme, it’s not really fic-compatible and I haven’t got an ao3 account/invite.

if there’s one thing i know about russia and book covers it’s that they never fail to disappoint

i honestly don’t even know what to ask about first so here’s a list

THE FRONT:

• is that martin freeman to the left?
• no wait who the fuck is that in the front? kili? did his head slip into a woodchipper? lose a fight with a sword? lose a bet with nori? 
• either way it looks like kili’s and ori’s clothes had a lovechild
• we’ve got what looks like fili and no-hawk nori just chillin in the background
• but wAIT WHO’S BEHIND THEM I LEGIT DON’T EVEN KNOW
• i think i’ve seen him before was he in vikings
• i think he was in vikings
• holy shit is his hAND OKAY?????

THE BACK:

• why do dwalin and thorin have matching daggers is this a marriage thing
• just some large men having a candlelit dinner no biggie
• thorin’s giant cigar looks like a finger sometimes and i imagine he’s saying “waITER”
• is that…merry and pippin in the background??? what the fuck are they laughing at
• no seriously what is so funny guys is this like that time when dom and billy were comparing dicks in the trailer
• and if you look to your right you’ll see a tall-ass gimli and….is that boromir or thranduil with a beard the world may never know

sometimes when it’s late at night and i’m about to drift off to sleep, i whisper a name of protection to help me through the night

“chillbro swaggins”

oops i accidentally hot dwarf’d

they’re getting out of the barrels or something and kili was probably way too psyched meanwhile you’ve got thorin cursing at everything in the distance because he’s two goddamn seconds away from blowing majestic chunks everywhere

idk maybe i’ll clean it up eventually thEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE WET AND LEANING ON ROCKS OR SOMETHING BUT I GOT LAZY AND JUST DREW BOXES FOR KILI’S HANDS
