    Summary

    Almost two years after the Battle of the Five Armies, Thorin asks Bilbo to return to the mountain with the excuse of needing a "Hobbit-Dwarf Relations Advisor." What that entails, the king has no clue, but he is willing to make up a fake title and job just to get the chance to make amends with the hobbit and, in time, make his deep affections known. Unbeknownst to Thorin, Bilbo is already madly in love with him. Through a series of ridiculous cultural miscommunications, Bilbo finds himself engaged to the King Under the Mountain, while at the same time, Thorin is heartbroken that the hobbit, his heart's desire, has found love in another.

    ~ A subverted version of the "Bilbo is married/engaged to Thorin in the ways of dwarves and doesn't know it" trope. Inspired by the omitted information from The Hobbit that reads, "curious habit in [hobbit] weddings. They kept it (always officially and very often actually) a dead secret for years who they were going to marry, even when they knew. Then they suddenly went and got married and went off without an address for a week or two (or even longer)." ~

    Summary

    Bilbo returns to the mountain after two years away, settling affairs in The Shire. When Bilbo arrives in Erebor, much has changed, and there are more than a few new faces. A bad interaction with a guard lands him in hot water, and even after demanding to speak with the king, he finds himself on the other side of Erebors' law and a power-hungry guard.

    Summary

    After a devastating winter, that took the lives of many Durin's Folk, The Dwarrow of The Blue Mountains forge a treaty with The Hobbits of The Shire ... food in exchange for increased protection. And if an arranged marriage between their King, Thrain, and one of the grandchildren of The Shire's Thain, is required to seal the deal, then the Dwarf-king will do what it takes.

    However, crown-prince Thorin Oakenshield isn't totally convinced that the Hobbits can be trusted and he sets out to find the truth behind this so-called, 'Good-Will Treaty', and the miserable mite of a Hobbit that would agree to a loveless marriage.

    Come what may, Thorin is determined to find out what tricks and deceptions this ... Bilbo Baggins has up his sleeve.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins dies a day out from the shore of the Pure Lands. While his passing was not planned, he was not surprised. When the reaper leaves him to walk his path to the Garden alone, Bilbo comes to the conclusion no one would miss one little hobbit, so instead of heading down the path, he decides to go on one last adventure. He always had meant to make it to the mountain one last time, and now he has all the time in the world.
    In the halls of Mahal, thirteen dwarrow have no idea what is coming for them.

    Due to a sudden comment with embedded private photos that DO NOT NEED TO BE SHARED and the fact this fic is meant for underage readers as well, the comment section to this fic has become moderated.

    Summary

    In which I attempt to answer the question: what if Thorin and Bilbo met before the formation of the Company? How does their first meeting change when there is no dangerous quest looming over them? (A partial AU where most of the canon events happen the same way except they are married the entire time).

    I have all ten chapters outlined and most of them will include prompts from a Year of Bagginshield. Expect updates about once a month (I hope!).
