Summary
Slow burn. Bilbo Baggins is a half-baked archaeologist who has put his dreams of adventure on hold to teach secondary school. Thorin is the grandson of a politically powerful figure in the historically rich and deeply isolationist country of Erebor. When he flees conflict and corruption in Erebor to settle in London, he finds his hands full with two young boys. Gandalf meddles, and Bilbo signs on as a personal tutor for the boys in hopes of getting a foot in the door to archaeological work in Erebor. He soon discovers that Thorin is a tough nut to crack. As Bilbo takes care of the boys he and Thorin grow closer, and secrets about not just the brooding stranger, but the mysterious country and politics of Erebor begin to unravel. It turns out that Bilbo isn't leaving adventure behind, after all.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins is a disappointment. To himself, to the family he still talks to, to his supervisors, to his past professors, and, hell, even to the bank employee that helped him secure the loans he needed for his undergrad. He has failed them all, in his mind. All of these thoughts come to mind as he stands at the front gate of his new place of work. His head falls back and his eyes read the ginormous, blocky letters above him: Gondor Zoo & Aquarium.

He takes a job as a security guard at an antique shop, a job well below who he had been before, but he doesn't want to be that man anymore, and it kills some time. Maybe he'll figure out who he is now that he isn't living by other men's orders.

Two men trying to figure out who they are, and who they will be, and realizing that maybe the journey will go a lot better if you walk it with another person.
