    Summary

    When Bilbo puts himself between Thorin and Azog's blade, his mithril shirt protecting them both, it isn't long before some dwarves whisper that 'Oakenshield' might not be the best epithet for their king anymore. But for Bilbo, barred from Thorin's sight since the battle, this new epithet only adds to the sting. Spending his days caring for the recovering princes, Bilbo wonders how much more of this he can take, not suspecting his place at the center of a silent divide in the company.

    Summary

    Thorin, now human, experiences vivid, haunting dreams of how Bilbo grieves and struggles after his death as a dwarf, from moments of despair and loneliness in Bag End to his final days at the Grey Havens. These visions leave Thorin shaken, terrified of ever causing Bilbo such pain again. When he wakes, though unable to recall every detail, the weight of the dreams compels him to change: he clings to Bilbo with renewed devotion, determined to cherish him in the present, mend the neglect of the past, and build a life of simple joys, love, and shared time together.

    Summary

    In Arda, music is a fundamental and powerful force, originating from the divine Music of the Ainur, which created the Universe. Elves, Dwarrows, and Wizards all harness music in unique ways—to heal, build, and shape fate. Among mortals, each person is born knowing how to play one instrument: the key to their heartsong, a melody that connects them to their destined other half. Some sing instead of playing—these rare individuals are said to be whole. Rarest of all are those whose heartsongs span multiple instruments, suggesting a soul resonating with many melodies.
    Bilbo Baggins, however, avoids his own instrument, hidden in his basement. When he plays it, he feels conflicting emotions—sorrow, anger, and unsettling confidence—suggesting his other half is brash and difficult. Bilbo would rather not deal with that at all.

    Summary

    Dwarves have been gifted by Mahal with the ability to recognize when they have met their One, their soulmate. He also gifted Thorin with the ability to sustain a massive amount of denial.

    Thorin begins to feel the Longing as soon as he enters the Shire, but he holds out against accepting the reality of it for quite a bit longer.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins may be a respectable Hobbit of the Shire, but on his mother’s side runs the wild Tookish blood, and with it a far older, stranger legacy. Long ago, one of the Tooks wed a fairy, and from that union came not only their fabled adventurous streak but also a spellbook—an heirloom filled with enchantments meant to guide and protect their descendants. Most in the Shire dismiss it as old nonsense, but Bilbo, drawn reluctantly into an adventure he never sought, begins to wonder if that book might hold more truth than tale.
