Summary
Bilbo felt exhilarated, like flying on an eagle without the fear of falling. It was more than the thrill of a tremendously good jig, or kissing cheeks with Daisy Cotton behind the Party Tree – more than stealing down a long dark tunnel to cross verbal swords with a dragon. Bigger than fear, warmer than sneaking unseen through goblin-tunnels with the aid of a magic ring, was this thing between them now, a handful of coals cradled close against the winter wind. Something precious, something lasting, if only they could take good care of it.

Summary
So it went: the mountain was reclaimed, and the kingdom was reborn in war.
There were elves, dwarves, men, horses, orcs, wargs, running, fighting, yelling, dying. Bilbo, too, ran, but he had eyes for one thing and one thing only:Thorin.
And he found him, there, on Ravenhill, battling the great white orc, right where Bilbo knew and dreaded he would be. And as he dreaded, as he feared like he had never feared anything before, Thorin was struck down before his eyes, and Azog raised his blade for the killing blow.
Bilbo didn’t even have to think. He slipped off the ring, and he charged.
Or:
After the battle, all seems like it's ended better than anyone could possibly have hoped for. The company is alive, and Thorin and Bilbo are soon to be married. But all is not the happy ending it seems.
Something is wrong with Bilbo.

Summary
When Bilbo puts himself between Thorin and Azog's blade, his mithril shirt protecting them both, it isn't long before some dwarves whisper that 'Oakenshield' might not be the best epithet for their king anymore. But for Bilbo, barred from Thorin's sight since the battle, this new epithet only adds to the sting. Spending his days caring for the recovering princes, Bilbo wonders how much more of this he can take, not suspecting his place at the center of a silent divide in the company.

Summary
Shortly after midnight, Bilbo Baggins crept through the halls of Erebor like the burglar he was. If most burglars tended to wear a little more than a dressing gown, it was only because most burglars were out to steal more than a few minutes alone.
Bilbo sneaks into the baths at night, hoping for a chance to wash up privately. Fortunately, his plans go awry when he sees Thorin already bathing alone. After watching the king for a while, he overcomes his hesitation and joins his friend.
