    Very few times had his life been saved, but it had never come in the form of a Hobbit lass wearing a sooty burgundy jacket.

    Summary

    “I have not played nursemaid since Kili was young and in bed with pneumonia,” Thorin said.
    “You’re not my nursemaid,” Bella murmured, closing her eyes once more and tugging the blankets a little higher up. “I don’t know why you’re here at all.”

    Or: Bella Baggins falls ill in Lake-town, and Thorin tends to her, although she's not sure why at first.

    Summary

    Thorin scowled. “Fool’s luck has kept you alive today. But it won’t save you from a sound thrashing for worrying us all half to death.”

    Bilba’s mouth fell open. “You can’t mean—you’re not serious—”

    “You signed the contract, Miss Baggins.”

    Summary

    Inspired by this luscious fan art by Aegilef. It's just utterly gorgeous, and how could my imagination not take me somewhere.

    And I think that somewhere is Laketown, and Thorin suggests that Bella go to bed. Very suggestively suggests. And suggests quite a bit. Just a suggestion.

    One of my darling readers, skmitton, sweetly requested a fem!Bilbo version, and, well, my mind started running down that track. And then it started sprinting.

    Summary

    Written in response to a prompt by thotinshield on Tumblr:

    "my brain is filled with au where thorin is considered unattractive by dwarven standards, bilbo thinks hes handsome, and is pining after him, but thorin is in the classic situation of having to get married and dealing with lots of suitors and theres a bit in there about bilbo hearing some of the dwarrowdams gossiping about how thorin is "ugly" and bilbo being like WHAT"

    Erebor needs a queen, and Thorin is set to marry a dwarrowdam to be his consort. No matter how much it breaks his heart, Bilbo takes it upon himself to ensure Thorin only receives the best and decides to scope out the candidates. Everything goes well, and he finds one that looks promising, until he uncovers a rather disturbing fact about the crop of potential consorts.

    Summary

    The Urge comes around a female Hobbit's coming of age. It is affectionately called Heat by some of the older ladies. The Urge provides an innate drive to find a partner she is most compatible with. This is done by hugging or pecking random lads or lasses, waiting for the Heat to strike and tell her she found her soulmate. Its a Hobbit's most reliable way of finding them. Only for Billa, she'd never felt the Urge.
    Until she was snatched into the sudden, grateful embrace of Thorin Oakenshield himself after he woke on the Carrock. Yavanna preserve her, now she understood exactly what the elder Hobbits meant by the Heat. She was burning with desire, pursued by thoughts of Thorin. She couldn’t possibly tell him without blushing herself into a bonfire, but fate has its own design and she needn't worry for long...

    Summary

    Thorin catches her hand in his as she touches the gauze. “You still call me Thorin,” he says, softly.

    “Well,” she says, trying as hard as she can to sound businesslike, “That’s because you’re not my king.”

    “You’re under my mountain,” Thorin points out.

    Bilbo scowls, and shakes his hand loose. “I can’t believe you’re arguing not five seconds after you’ve woken up,” she says, pulling the gauze free. It’s mostly healed, an ugly scar that will be there for the rest of his life. “Though perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised.”

    Summary

    for the prompt: "Thorin tries to woo Bilbo... but fails miserably at it. In fact, he only manages to scare the living shit out of the hobbit." 

    He believed, for a moment, in this King, and thought that this was what Balin must have meant that day in the wilderness, that this was the King he saw in Moria, noble and unbroken.

    Summary

    After everything, Bilbo becomes an integral part of castle workings—and honestly, there’s not much waiting for him back at the Shire. So he stays, and decides to learn more about dwarrow culture while he’s at it. As it turns out, dwarf kings are significantly more affectionate than he’d expect...

    (Or: Four dwarf traditions Bilbo adopted, and one very pleasant custom that dwarves and hobbits share.)

    Summary

    So sue him, he’s a jerk. He wants more, he always wanted more. He’s always been the first guy to bite more than he can chew.

    He wants the full story. He wants the grisly, dismal, ugly details. All the hideous answers to his hideous questions.

    Out of the penthouse, out of Dubai.

    A soft groan, both pained and vaguely showy, reverberates in that damned silence. Daniel knows then and there he’s not getting the fuck out of Dubai anytime soon.

    He wants the full story. And for that, he wants Armand.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    “Well, my fair lady, I do sell, you have ho-”
    “Good,” she interrupted, not having the patience to deal with his weirdness, ignoring the little sound of annoyance he made she pressed on, “I’d like to get some, but, I don’t have any cash on me,”
    “Okaay,” he answered, drawing out the word as he stared at her, “I don’t really do credit sweetheart,” he added in a condescending tone before dismissively turning back to the table behind him and lunchbox on it.
    Not letting herself get discouraged she soldiered on.
    “I was thinking, I could maybe pay some other way,” she said, angling her head so she had to look through her eyelashes at him and biting at her lip. It was a look she had practiced and perfected, and it always got her what she wanted.

    OR

    Stevie is hoping that she can convince Eddie to sell to her without having to pay for it, with money that is. It doesn’t go as she had hoped.

    Summary

    “Finish it,” Armand says abruptly, reaching out to touch the bottom of the glass. He tilts it up to Daniel’s lips, the words an imperious command.

    Daniel barely opens his mouth in time. He chokes on what’s left of the watery crème de menthe and crème de cacao, but Armand doesn’t lower the glass until he’s finished every last drop. His head swims, partly because he’s tipsy and partly because of the brain freeze.

    Armand withdraws the empty glass, sets it aside, and grabs a napkin off the bar. He dabs Daniel’s lips with it, brushing the bare pad of his thumb across Daniel’s chin. His skin is warm and smooth, slightly clammy with condensation borrowed from the glass.

    Oh my God, Daniel thinks. Don’t lick him don’t lick him don’t lick—

    Clearing his throat, Armand sets the napkin aside. “You’re a journalist?”

    “Yeah,” Daniel replies hastily, looking away. “You were listening in?”

    “I caught part of your chat with Louis. You were going to interview him?”

    Was being the operative word. I’m not sure that would’ve worked out.”

    "Christ, Arthur, do you ever give the boy any personal space?" Gwaine interrupts them, simultaneously amused and scandalized. For a flash of a second, Arthur narrows his eyes, something uneasy in his eyes, but then it’s gone, and he’s laughing – as if the ale has taken ahold of him again, remaining loose and carefree.

    Summary

    Fantasy author Merlin is sick of city life and more than ready to settle down. He loves everything about his new house outside of London — especially the extremely fit delivery man. Before long he’s sending packages to himself regularly just to make sure that he gets his daily fix of blond hair, blue eyes and bulging muscles. He and Arthur have struck up a friendship, but just as Merlin is working up the nerve to ask him out properly, he finds out that Arthur may not be what he seems.
