    Summary

    Sometimes, Bilbo finds, not everything goes according to plan.

    First an injury and the coming winter delay his leaving Erebor, then word from the Shire leaves him mourning his beloved Bag End. And because getting added to Thorin's council isn't trouble enough, Kili is in love with an elf, Fili may or may not have his eyes on a certain little scribe, everyone seems to think he is a lady hobbit, and Thorin needs to find someone to marry.

    Okay. So the last part might not be trouble, exactly, except for the part where it makes Bilbo's rather hopeless attachment even more painful. Or it wouldn't if he hadn't possibly accidentally promised to provide Thorin with an heir... and Dáin just might still be scheming something.

    Fortunately, if there's one thing hobbits are good at, it's growing things. And Thorin did promise him a garden.

    Summary

    The topic of Jiang Yanli’s marriage prospects came up while Jiang Yanli sat with her parents one morning, working on an embroidery project.

     

    “Acting Sect Leader Lan suggests that you might be a good match for Lan Huan, now called Xichen,” her mother said to Jiang Yanli. She looked consideringly at Jiang Yanli, who glanced up from her embroidery. A small smile touched her mother’s mouth. “It would be a good match. We will travel to Gusu and discuss this proposition. Make the arrangements.”

     

    Jiang Yanli’s engagement to Jin Zixuan never comes to fruition.

    Somehow, someway, she finds her way to true happiness regardless.

    Summary

    “Pardon me,” a low voice said from behind them.

     

    Almost as one, the Wen all turned and Wei Wuxian had to crane his neck to get a look at the speaker. Through the sweat and pain stinging his eyes, he could still say the man was probably the handsomest he'd ever seen. A cultivator, then, but not one Wei Wuxian would ever associate with one of the established sects.

     

    "You are disturbing my mother," he said.

    It took Lan Wangji longer to mentally catalogue his injuries than it had to acquire them. He had very little doubt in his mind that he was going to die.

    (This inevitable turn of events was going to greatly inconvenience his brother and uncle.)
