Spycraft and Reputation
Rating: E
Summary: Hopes that the quest would fix the Riâs reputation were found to be in vain, Nori and Dwalinâs relationship couldnât take the pressure of outside forces and inside fighting. Will life repeat in a never ending cycle for Ori and Fili? Or can Dwalin find a way out of the pit he is in and get Nori to listen for one last chance?

Paved With The Flagstones Of Ignorance
Rating: E
Summary:
Five months. Five wonderful months. FĂli and Ori have been relishing in the early days of their relationship â although despite their feelings being as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face, that elusive L-word has remained unsaid. A tragedy, really. Enter Nori and KĂli.

1. Nice to Meet You Again
Rating: Teen
Summary: FĂli grows up believing his childhood best friend, the girl who once shared his scraped knees, whispered secrets, and summer afternoons, belongs only to memory. Life moves on, distance settles in, and he convinces himself some people are meant to stay in the past. But years later, meeting his uncle's surprise lover, he sees a familiar pair of caramel eyes in a face both changed and achingly recognizable.
2. Hahdumral
Rating: Teen
Summary: Ori is not born a brother to Dori and Nori, only a cousin by blood, but fate weaves their lives together in ways none of them expect. Loss and longing reshape their family, and Ori becomes their baby brother.

A Lesson In Respect
Rating: Teen
Summary: Everyone seems to underestimate Ori, including Ori. But even the kindest of people have their breaking point and Fili might just have found it.

Summary:
A quiet moment between FĂli and Ori and a promise made in the moonlight.

A missing scene one-shot from Chapter 14 of I Carry Your Heart (but it can be read as a stand-alone!).

1. Petals on the Wind
Rating: Teen
Summary: Ori wasn't sure what to do. After decades of being best friends with FĂli, he found himself falling for the dwarf. Completely out of his depth, Ori sent a plea for help to Bilbo, the only person he can trust with something as delicate as matters of the heart. After all, Bilbo was the only member of the entire Company who wouldn't start a betting pool after being told something so personal.
2. not a lot, just forever
Rating: M
Summary: Ori and FĂli are in two different worlds. Ori is a quiet student who would rather spend time with his favorite professor than any of his peers. He keeps to himself and doesn't participate in student life if he can help it. FĂli is captain of the rugby team and popular with everyone, faculty included. He and Ori's paths do not cross until the fall of Ori's final year, in which he and FĂli end up sitting next to each other in a Baroque Architecture course. They strike up a friendship, feeling themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. Unbeknownst to the two dwarves, they are already intimately familiar with each other, due to their communication on the university's anonymous digital pen-pal program.

The Year of the Sweater
Rating: T
Summary: How to survive a Durin family holiday dinner: Remember that brandy doesnât burn hot, so you can reach into the flames. If you go outside for a smoke, brace yourself to witness some unexpected intimacy. And donât give the baby eggnog.
2. One of the Possible Questions
Rating: T
Summary: As crown prince, FĂli finds himself fending off an array of suitors keen on marrying into the newly reclaimed kingdom of Erebor. An imaginary engagement fabricated on the spur of the moment compels him to enlist the help of Ori, who's surprisingly willing to play along despite his complete disinterest in royal affairs.
Sometimes it takes a lie to reveal the truth.
3. Watch with Me (and Listen, and Feel)
Rating: T
Summary: alternative title: How to Win a Prince's Heart and Stick It To Your Cynical Brother
As the Quest takes them through perilous lands in close quarters, the friendship between Ori and FĂli develops an undeniable layer of attraction. When FĂli asks Ori to share his watch one evening, Ori expects a quick tumble behind the rocks. Instead, the night becomes something sweeter than he ever dared to imagine.
4. Grappling Dummies
Rating: T
Summary:
FĂli is teaching a group of young dwarves how to wrestle. Ori certainly isn't using his sketchbook as a cover for ogling the sweaty, half-naked prince. And FĂli definitely has no ulterior motive in asking Ori to help with a hands-on demonstration.
Nope, nothing to see here.
5. Everybody Hurts Sometimes (Everything's Gonna Be All Right)
Rating: T
Summary:
Two years after reclaiming Erebor, Ori couldn't be happier in his marriage to FĂliâeven when a celebration unexpectedly surfaces dark memories. Could sharing the pain that he's tried to forget bring him and FĂli even closer together?
(Yes. Of course. The answer is yes.)

Can I try?
Rating: G
Summary:
"Fili stared at Ori across the fire, zoning out Kili and Bofurâs conversation to the side of him as he watched the slightly older dwarf working with intense focus on something he was writing. Ever since they were children, Ori would always have a pad of paper along with quill and ink with him "
Fili always wanted to know what he was writing.

Beans & Bagels
Rating: Teen
Summary: Modern AU where dwarves/elves and all other Tolkien races just exist. KĂli owns a cafe called Beans & Bagels and lowkey plays cupid for his older brother. FĂli the slightly awkward, love-struck older brother tries to work up the nerve to ask out an adorable book-loving patron.

Pleasure Smith
Rating: E
Summary: Years before the dragon had attacked Erebor, the family of Ri had been renowned for their mastery in the art of pleasure. Their company reserved for only the most respected lords and ladies. Now, a hero of Erebor, Ori finds himself curious to learn the old ways.

Rating: E
Summary: Two years after their fateful confessions, Fili and Ori are moving in to their first apartment as a couple. Kili and Bofur help until they decide that theyâve had enough of their tension.

Rating: E
Summary:
Inspired by the tumblr post by un-father: Make out session that turns into groping, leading into dry hump that turns into "just the tip" and ends in breeding.
That's it, that's the fic lol for Filiori Fest 2026
