    Summary

    When Mahal himself offers to send Thorin back to the start of the quest to save the line of Durin, he is determined to make amends for all of the mistakes he made the first time around.

    When Bilbo wakes up in Bag End eighty years in the past, all he knows is that he has somehow been given the chance to see his beloved dwarves again and he'll be damned if he doesn't take it.

    Both dwarf and hobbit are desperate to prevent the quest from ending in tragedy, but neither will be able to do it on their own. They'll need to work together if they want to keep the entire Company alive and whole --but first they need to realize that they are not alone in their efforts, and they have to stop getting in each other's way at every turn they make.

    Hopefully, they'll learn some things this time that they failed to learn before. And maybe, just maybe, they'll find their happy ending that both have been yearning for.

    Summary

    At last, the time has come for Thorin Oakenshield to face the tests that he once failed so utterly. The Dragon. The Gold. The Battle. The Orc.

    The fate of all he holds dear rests on the knife's edge of calamity, but he has sworn not to squander his second chance.

    Thorin wakes up after the Battle of Five Armies the day the company is due to meet their new burglar in Hobbiton. He must find a way to use his knowledge to change their fate, yet dealing in secrets and subtlety does not play to his strengths. Thankfully, as always, he has Bilbo Baggins to cover his shortcomings.

    Summary

    To be fair, it was the Lamb’s fault.

    ..Maybe a little bit of Narinder’s, but it was mostly Lambert’s fault.

    After a rather embarrassing accident on a crusade, Narinder opts to be resurrected instead of healed. Only, The Lamb's anxious mind haunted by past memories bumbled the ritual, and the cat comes back cursed: conscious, aware (not that The Lamb knows that) but with an insatiable hunger for flesh. Now, until Kallamar can return with crystals to cure him, Lambert must keep the cat alive, keep him from killing any of their flock and somehow keep him fed.

    Unsurprisingly however, their husband already had a taste for mutton and is hardly taking any of this seriously.

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.
