Summary
We all know Bofur wants to make Bilbo happy, but could growing too close make him the person who ends up hurting Bilbo the most? Can a hobbit and a dwarf who have survived war live happily together in the gossip-ridden Shire, or is Erebor where they truly belong?
What I find most interesting about Bilbo and Bofur as a couple, at least from a writing standpoint, is just how many potential problems their relationship has. Cultural/class/species differences, vastly different personalities, disapproval from friends and neighbors, Bilbo's trauma over Erebor, Bofur's questionable drinking habits, and of course, Bilbo having the One Ring. Add a few unexpected misfortunes here and there, and there could be some really compelling drama to be explored.
This is my take on a more realistic Domestic Boffins story, but don't worry. There's still going to be plenty of fluff and humor throughout!
