    Summary

    Ethel is feeling clucky — she's between daughters at the moment, the last few having foolishly gotten themselves offed by daring do-gooders. What is a hag without her coven? Well, traditionally, far less stressed and aggravated, but it's the principle of the thing! Baldur's Gate is plump with fat, nosy little children who would make fine little hags, and so she sets up her nest.

    She wasn't expecting a bloody cuckoo to come walking straight in without knocking.

    Summary

    When the pact is broken, Wyll struggles with losing his warlock powers at the moment the Blade is needed most. Not only is Baldur’s Gate in danger, his beloved Karlach’s condition is ever-worsening and his newly-mended relationship with his father remains fragile. What should be the easiest task among them—to summon the great dragon Ansur—ends in failure. Yet after the wyrm is slain, something of his power lingers.

    And then a baby drake appears.

    Or: Wyll becomes a drakewarden ranger.

    Summary

    Javert found he did not find grey to be as comforting a colour as black or white. Black and white: that is how he saw things. All his life, there had not been much thought spared to the shades in between. Man was either good or evil, an upholder of the law or a defier of it. If one strayed from the Lord's path, he could not be reconciled, not in the eyes of the law. Indeed, that is what Inspector Javert had long believed.

    But the river looked grey. Jean Valjean, a convict, had saved his life. Things were not so clear now.

    ---

    When Javert falls, Valjean is there to catch him. The unlikely friendship that follows proves strong enough to save them both. But another's love is a difficult thing to accept when one has lived his whole life without it.

    Summary

    Thorin Oakenshield wakes. The air is cold, clinging to his skin in an unpleasant way. He reaches for his sword, the memory of his defeat still fresh in his mind.

    In the distance shines the familar light of Bag End, where Bilbo Baggins is desperately trying to understand why the battlefield around him faded to the comfort of his home, the calendar mocking his attempts at making sense of the situation.

    Both of them try to navigate the violent jump back in time as best as they can, but getting in each other's way of diverting fate causes more trouble than any of them could expect. It is a lonely feat, changing the past – unless, amidst all the chaos, they manage to understand each other again.

    Summary

    “Kabru has the kind of striking beauty that would make him especially interesting to someone who has dedicated their life to the arts,” Marcille maintains the clinical edge in her voice.

    Something stirs in Laios, an unease of sorts.

    It must read as confusion on his face, because Marcille gives him a look.

    “Kabru is to artists what monsters are to you,” she puts it more bluntly.

    “Oh,” Laios mutters.

    And so unto the kingdom, the royal painter declared, ‘At long last, I have found my muse.’

    Laios just has to deal with it.

    Summary

    Bilbo had a sudden, cheerful realization. “Oh, my, this must mean you’ve already dealt with the problem of the dragon without me!”

    Bofur frowned. “Bilbo, no–”

    “Sorry, you haven’t dealt with the dragon?”

    --

    Sarel is not like other children.

    First of all, he was adopted. Second, he is blind.

    Third, (and while some may argue most importantly, though Sarel disagrees), he is Falmer.

    --

    "Found" by an Altmer researcher and scholar with the College of Winterhold, Sarel's existence has remained a relative secret, hidden behind the stone walls of the college. All of this changes on his eleventh birthday, when a mysterious stranger appears at the college doors asking after him.

    Summary

    Ninety-one years after the Fall of Erebor, and sixty-two since the loss of his father and brother at the Battle of Azanulbizar, Mahal grants Thorin II Oakenshield a boon in the form of a child, the first of the like since the Second Age. After dealing with the misfortune and poverty that has characterized his entire adult life thus far, Thorin feels a burgeoning hope of a better future for himself, his family, and his people. This hope turns into hardened determination when Tharkûn presents him with an opportunity to reclaim his homeland and return Durin’s Folk to their former glory.

    If only Thorin could overcome the sickening terror that grips him at the thought of his child and sister-sons being lost as casualties to his ambition.

    If only he could stop staring at the damned Melekûn.

    Summary

    The grand and war-torn city of Minas Tirith is not a very suitable place for a hobbit, and while recovering here after the destruction of the Ring, Frodo feels increasingly hopeless and disconnected. However, through a few honest moments shared with friends and acquaintances, he just might be able to find a great deal of compassion, a little romance, and maybe even a good night’s sleep during his stay here.

    Summary

    Bilbo woke up with a start when the boat stopped its gentle rocking. He lifted his hand to block the golden rays of the sun that blinded him; for a moment, he thought his vision had worsened, and that he would have to go through his undying days with faulty eyes, but when he adjusted to the light, he realised that it had not worsened as he had thought, but had gone completely bad. His hand… His hand. His hand, unmarred by years and adventures.

    Or, yet another fic in which Bilbo goes back in time to the beginning of the Smaug quest.

    Summary

    "Bilbo buries his face in his hands, his shoulders hitching upwards as the pain overwhelms him again. When he closes his eyes, he just sees Thorin’s dulled eyes, the blood running warm over their joined hands as Bilbo tries to stop it. Thorin’s softened gaze, his words rasping in Bilbo’s ear as he had struggled to get them out, the weakening grip Thorin had held on his hand…. "

    In trying to ensure Bilbo's safety, Thorin only makes things even more complicated for them.

    Summary

    “I should have known you’d be here,” Bilbo said, closing his eyes contentedly. He might’ve guessed that even in death, he could not escape the meddlesome ways of the wizard.
    “Well, I must say, I am rather pleased that you remember me,” said Gandalf.
    “I never forget a face,” Bilbo joked, still entirely at ease. After several moments of silence, Bilbo opened his eyes to find Gandalf eyeing him quizzically. “Is something the matter?” he asked.
    “That remains to be seen. I am looking for someone to share in an adventure.”
    “My dear friend, I am much too old now for adventures,” Bilbo said with a laugh.

    Summary

    (On indefinite hiatus for the time being)

    Nearing the end of his long life, Bilbo Baggins is ready for another adventure. So, with his nephew and his friends by his side, he sails from the Grey Havens, ready to face whatever might come next.

    It's just that he really wasn't expecting "whatever might come next" to mean that he would be sent back in time to just before the journey to Erebor.

    In a world where Bilbo has already lived his life through once before, he must decide how to navigate the quest, from trying to keep his friends safe to trying to alter the course of the future to trying to manage his once-again blossoming feelings for a certain dwarf (who unfortunately no longer remembers a time when he didn't completely loathe Bilbo).
