    Summary

    Have you been missing a time travel Tomarry where Harry and Tom are on somewhat equal footing? Where Tom is a plausible budding political leader? Where Harry can stand up to him and their relationship doesn’t seem toxic? Where the surrounding events and characters don’t go unnoticed? I have, so I gave writing one a try.

    “The war is over and the Wizarding Britain has been slowly rising from the ashes. Harry just wishes none of it ever happened – what will he do when he’s given a chance to change the past? Was Dumbledore right about “the power he knows not” after all?“

    Summary

    “Of all the arrogant, self-important pricks,” Harry fumed, slamming his bookbag down on the chair next to Alphard. The only thing keeping him from shouting was the librarian’s wrath.

    Alphard blinked up at him. “Who did what?”

    “Tom Riddle,” Harry sneered. “Who does he think he is ordering me around, telling me what to eat and when to study? I’m eight—sixteen years old!” he amended. “He’ll be trying to issue a bloody bedtime next!”

    Alphard looked confused. “Tom? I didn’t even know you knew each other.”

    “He assigned himself to be my bloody mentor,” Harry grumbled. “Like I need a babysitter.”

    Alphard’s mouth dropped open. “Tom is your alpha? But he’s never taken an omega before!”

    Harry winced at what he was pretty sure were sex terms. “No. I’m not calling him that.”

    Or

    Harry goes back in time to stop everyone from dying and ends up in a weird Slytherin hierarchy and saving the world by distracting the future dark lord with sex.

    Summary

    "There are white flowers at Thorin's feet.

    He stared at them, wondering why the sight of it was so befuddling, until he realized that they were still alive."

    Bilbo is the god of Springtime and Thorin is the Lord of the Dead. He knew it would never work between them, but then Bilbo always did manage to surprise him.

    Summary

    "Gandalf, of course, would say that he did not expect Thorin to use those exact words he had used, and so one could hardly blame him for being surprised and failing to intervene on time, but Bilbo insisted that Gandalf should have seen the possibility of a misunderstanding, precisely because one does not show up to a hobbit's home to whisk them away!

    Summary

    “We can train Frodo but no barging into the room and waking up your uncle.” Thorin said. “If you wake up, I’ll come to your room and we can train after. Okay?”

    “Okay!” Frodo cheered. “Thank you Uncle Thorin, you are the best.”

    Ouch. Okay that hurt. Of course Thorin was the best but… Frodo was the only reminder of Shire Bilbo had in that mountain, his only kin and still he wasn’t the best in Frodo’s eyes. He must have sucked royally for that to happen.

    or

    Bilbo and Thorin adopted Frodo and Bilbo is jealous how Thorin seems to connect with the boy better than him.

    Summary

    As Thorin lay dying on the ice below Ravenhill and passed out, he thought he heard someone speak Khuzdul to him. Which could not be, since the only other person there was Bilbo. Not only does he not die against all expectations, but what he first dismissed as hallucinations turns out to be the truth after all. Bilbo knows Khuzdul.

    Summary

    “My birthday’s September twenty-second. We’re exactly a month apart.” Bilbo had grinned at him so widely then that Thorin barely registered the implication of what he’d said.

    “Yours has passed too,” he frowned when he realized. “We shall have to do something for next year.”

    “Next year? You’d… want me to stay through next September?” And the hope that Thorin knew Bilbo was trying to smother shone so clearly on his face that he’d wanted to throw all caution to the wind and show him exactly how close he wanted him to stay.

    AKA

    Hobbits and dwarves celebrate their birthdays differently. Chaos and confusion ensues.

    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!).

    Summary

    [ "what is it?" Bilbo repeated, adjusting his coat. he was used to much lighter clothing, nothing he could feel so profoundly as it was draped over his back.

    "you look…" Thorin sighed and shook his head. he had been sat on the bed the entire time and Bilbo didn't even have a good reason to dismiss him; simply saying that he felt a tad vulnerable as he tried his finery on wouldn't be reason enough. "you look like you were meant to wear my colors."

    "oh, hush, I look silly," Bilbo mustered a half-smile as Thorin rose to his feet and strode across the room to wrap his arms tightly around him from behind.

    "silly? but never in my life, my heart," he put his chin on the top of Bilbo's head and his hands on his waist, humming in consideration and squeezing lightly. ]

    there is a celebration coming up in Erebor and Bilbo doesn't feel very confident in his new festive attire.
    Thorin shows him just how beautiful he thinks he is.

    Summary

    Thorin Durin had lived in his new flat for approximately eighty four minutes when things started to go terribly, terribly wrong. The wrongness came in the form of a package, delivered to his door, wrapped in brown paper and string, with a small tag wishing him a very sincere welcome to the building.

    Summary

    Once Bilbo has ambled off, Fíli turns to Kíli, who’s still crunching away at his apple unconcernedly. “… He was just joking, right?”

    “Of course he was,” Kíli dismisses. “He’s Bilbo, the sharpest mind in the entire Company. It’s not like he could have missed the fact that Uncle’s been courting him since the end of the Battle. He’s just having us on!”

    Or:

    In which Bilbo is getting slightly exasperated with the fact that no one will tell him why he has such a big role in Thorin's wedding, what he is supposed to be doing there, and who Thorin's betrothed is. And is also a little confused about why the thought of Thorin marrying someone else bothers him so much.

    Summary

    Inspired from a post made by wheeloffortune-design on tumblr.

    Tired of his lonely kitchen in Yavanna's Garden, Bilbo Baggins wonders if the dwarven love of being underground is true in death. If so, maybe his dwarves are living (ha ha) under the very land Bilbo is weeding.

    With that thought, Bilbo goes and asks Hamfast for a shovel.

    Summary

    Bilbo was fairly certain he had never been so nervous in his entire life. And he had fought a heart condition since he was a tweenager. Not to mention he'd battled Goblins and flown on an eagle.

    Meeting Thorin's family shouldn't have even made it onto the list of things to have a panic attack for.

    Summary

    “Thorin, I have a weak heart. It has trouble pumping enough blood through my body. That’s why I’m always so low on energy. And…” Bilbo swallowed, forcibly keeping his eyes on the flickering flames. Thorin wasn’t moving by his side. “And it’s failing. There are healers in Greenwood who have gifts for mending hearts, but there isn’t much chance it will work. I haven’t been very responsive to any other methods, and… Well… I don’t have very long.” Bilbo dropped his eyes to his hands. He’d ripped the four-leaf clover Bofur had given him. It seemed horribly symbolic of his life.

    Headed to Greenwood to see the healer Thranduil, Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey hitch a ride with thirteen dwarves headed to Erebor.

    Bilbo had hoped it would be like the adventures he read. That there would be orcs, sword fights, torture, revenge, trolls, chases, or escapes.

    He had never expected miracles or true love.

    Summary

    For as long as Frodo could remember, his beloved Uncle Bilbo was known around the Shire for his shocking habit of disappearing for long periods of time. Bilbo never told anybody where he was going or when he expected to be back, and didn't seem to care what other people thought of such disrespectable inconstancy.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins has been a hobbit for many long years and he should very much like to keep it that way, thank you very much.

    An old friend drops by Bag End with the offer of an adventure and despite Bilbo's refusal, the idea of only thirteen dwarves and a wizard facing a dragon may just convince him yet. After all, he has experience with the Great Dragons of the North. Once upon a time, he was one.
