    Summary

    Sequel to Gold of the Daffodil.

    Using a mix of book and movie canon, this is a re-telling of the Quest for Erebor with The Company of Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins. A partial AU where most of the main canon events still happen but with a new dynamic added in: Thorin and Bilbo are newly married.

    Their relationship will be tested over and over again. They will find out if their deep connection and love for one another are strong enough to survive elves, evil creatures, a dragon, gold sickness, and the constant threat of death.

    Written as part of the Acorns & Oak Leaves WIP Round-Up event. With original art by youbetyourbuttons! 😍

    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

    “The door remained hidden and the air was cold, lapping at him like waves in the distant seas of songs. The shadow enveloped him with a father’s tenderness. The world was slowly waking up. He was soaked to the bone, and the sun shone weakly upon his brow. Thorin Oakenshield was alive.”

    Against all odds, Thorin survives the Battle of the Five Armies. Bilbo, grappling with his feelings, decides to stay in Erebor. But when the magical ring he’s been keeping secret starts whispering to him in the night, Bilbo knows he must heed its call. Thorin follows him, haunted by a strange vision. A second journey, a kingdom’s rebirth and many terrible truths await them under the mountain…

    Summary

    Violet is happy to helm story time for the early-learners group occasionally—it is her bookstore after all—but she has no interest in catering it for the holidays. None. Nada. And for the last time, there will be no tinsel in this building, Ridoc!

    Enter Xaden Riorson: handsome tattoo artist and single dad. He's just trying his best to make ends meet, get his daughter to that reading-session-thing she likes so much, and make sure she has the best Christmas now that she's old enough to remember it.

    Oh, and convince the gorgeous bookstore owner that the holidays aren't so bad after all if they celebrate them together. That too.

    Summary

    Violet Sorrengail just wants to survive her first summer back at Aretia in nearly two years.

    Older now, with new fears and new grief, she worries how she'll find her way back. But when she returns, the mountain is the same, with its cool, fresh air. The cabins still have graffiti-covered rafters and creaky floors. And there is Xaden Riorson, still shooting her glares and wicked grins from across the dining hall.

    ***

    Xaden's frozen, his gaze midnight, flickering over my loose, mused hair. His eyes snag on the beginnings of a braid. I huff, shooting him a look and dropping the strands I’ve been trying to weave again. “Today it's just not cooperating.”

    His smile is sly as he meets my gaze in the mirror. “Let me.” I flash a disbelieving look as he steps forward, hands wide in an appeasing gesture. “I lived with Sloane for nearly a decade. I can French braid, or Dutch if you’d prefer.” He quirks his brow at me in our reflections, and truly, how is this man allowed to exist?
