Summary
In a rain-soaked Northern England town, two insomniacs find solace in the only light that matters: The one burning in the window across the narrow alleyway.
Bilbo Baggins, a gentle author and bookseller drowning in self-doubt, and Thorin Oakenshield, a brooding carpenter carrying the weight of a failed legacy, have spent months as silent companions in the dark. A 2 AM cigarette. A shared understanding of heavy silence. The comfort of knowing someone else is awake.
But when loneliness finally forces the neighbours to cross those twelve feet of cobblestone, they discover that the line between friendship and something more is as fragile as the sleep they've been chasing.

Summary
"Your beard obstructs too much of your mouth" is not polite to tell a dwarf, nor does Legolas wish to explain why he needs to see Gimli's mouth to know what he says.
Gimli, meanwhile, spends the first part of their journey together ignoring the elf out of indignation.
This all changes with an explanation and a belated answer to what Gimli had attempted to ask before they set out. From there on, they are friends. Or, in the words of Aragorn:
"I would have an easier time separating Gimli from his axe than I would separating him from you. And you know that he does not relinquish his axe so easily."

Summary
Tim (objectively) has it all; good looks, a cushy new job that he actually somewhat likes and a crush on the new guy working in the libraries.
After getting his number, asking the guy on a date would be easy, right?
(Tim’s had a long history of burying all his feelings under jokes. But it seems like, this time, he’s going to have to actually do something about it.)
