Sam/Frodo - Meeting the parents

Inspired by a prompt on the last round. Everybody lives AU, Frodo brought up by Bilbo and Thorin in Erebor. Somehow, Frodo meets Sam, and the two hit it off. Now, however, Frodo has to face something more terrible than wargs, orcs or ringwraiths: Hamfast Gamgee. Bonus points for: - Cultural differences - Frodo being awkward as all hell in a smial, despite having been very confident in every other setting Sam has seen him in. - Gaffer Gamgee being very disapproving of his new son-in-law who goes around wearing ironmongery, dwarf prince or no.
Modern AU - Boys' Home

Balin and Dwalin run a boys' home for kids who have no where else to go. Teenage Thorin with his two baby brothers were their first, then Dori came along with little Ori and dragging problematic Nori with him(others can be kids as well or adults who help out). Then Gandalf appears with Bilbo and says they're his last hope to help the kid. He's had problems in every other home because of a lack of social skills or the other kids deeming with 'too weird'. They've never turned away a kid in need but Bilbo really seems to rub Thorin the wrong way, especially when his two little brothers take a shine to the new boy.
"The Outsiders" AU, gen or any pairingselsajeniFebruary 5 2013, 23:37:56 UTC
In which the dwarves are greasers and Smaug is a Soc.
Thorin and his gang of dwarves are looked down on by everyone in town as greasers, hoodlums, no-good JDs. They don't mind that so much; what they do mind is their hangout [drive-in? bowling alley? playground basketball court?] being taken over by Smaug and his gang. So they recruit the help of "Pops" Gandalf, owner of the neighborhood diner, who puts them in touch with Bilbo -- the new kid at school, trying to stay out of the way of both gangs, who can't figure out how Gandalf knows that he moved there to escape a burglary rap back home.
+100 if you succeed where I have failed and figure out how the hell the elves fit into this
+1000 for lots of Outsiders-esque family feelings (older brothers trying to keep younger brothers from repeating their mistakes, etc.)
+1000000 if you get some smoking kink in there. Bilbo watching Kili or Thorin or Dwalin smoke... mmm. (Cigarettes, as AU-appropriate, rather than pipes, plz.)

thorin is the ringleader of one of the most successful circuses, The Company. watch dwalin eat swords! nori and his sticky hands can make anything disappear! fili can throw knives like no one's business, and he puts his life in his brother's hands in turn by becoming archery pratice! bifur, who speaks only in garbled russian, trains bears! ori brings his pictures to life in a mesmerizing magic act, dori is the strongest man alive, oin can come out of any injury unscathed, gloin and his son gimli have an unparalleled acrobatic act, bombur has a daredevil cannonball act to shock all audiences, and bofur is the world's most beloved silent clown. balin, the popular flame thrower, decides it's his time to retire and stand out of the limelight to become the tour manager, and thorin realizes they need another great act to fill in what they've lost

I dunno because it's been awhile since I've read "The Outsiders".
I would be interested in reading this, though.
