Notes:

Tolkientober 2026, prompt #14: RIVERS.
Fictober 2026, prompt #14: You’re telling me this was the best solution?.

I’m not a writer, English is not my first language and the fic is also unbetaed, so... Sorry! :D

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Thorin would be furious if he would find out. He had repeated them over and over not to bother the Elves in Mirkwood: the relationship between them and the Dwarves of Erebor was delicate to say the least, and Thorin hated to waste time in diplomatic issues.

So it would be better that he would never know that Fili and Kili had brought little Gimli with them for an “incursion” in the Woodland Realm’s wine cellar.

Unfortunately, when the three of them emerged from the barrels brought by the Forest River, their king and uncle was there waiting for them.
