Homeward Bound Part One: An Unexpected Journey

Summary:

Bilba Baggins couldn't be happier. She's embraced her Baggins' half and has placated her Took half with a short trip to Bree (the most adventure she ever wishes to have). In addition, she is convinced Fram Harfoot, the most eligible bachelor in all of Hobbiton, will soon declare his eternal love for her - particularly after he sees the dinner she's prepared for him. When the knock sounds on her door she just knows it heralds the first day of the rest of her life as a respectable, and entirely proper, Hobbit.

Instead of her Happily Ever After, however, Bilba gets a company of Dwarves - complete with their obnoxious leader who MIGHT be vaguely attractive if he ever stopped ruining it by opening his mouth.

Clearly the only possible explanation is somewhere, in a past life, she must have done something truly AWFUL to deserve this.

Notes:

Welcome to my very first fanfic! It's an Alternate Universe and, as such, I will be overlooking some trivial details. These details include, but are not limited to:
Gender - (only Bilbo, he's now a she named Bilba)
Age - (Bilba is much younger, in her Tweens. If you compared her to the age of a human she'd be about 19/20. This puts her right in the age range of Fili/Kili. Thorin is also younger, again in the age of a Human he'd probably be somewhere in his 30s. Dwalin is also Thorin's age as I picture them growing up together as best friends).
Timelines!
Canon!
Anything else I can think of!

The story will still loosely follow the plot of the Hobbit, and later The Lord of the Rings - you will still see Trolls, Goblins and Smaug but I don't promise the same outcomes, or even the same order.

(See the end of the work for other works inspired by this one.)
