    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.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins of the Shire never finds love for himself, and so, to fill the quiet ache in his heart, he devotes his time to helping others find theirs. With gentle words, patient listening, and a surprising talent for mediation, he nudges romances into bloom all around him, convincing himself that watching love flourish is enough. What he does not realize, too busy tending to everyone else’s happiness, is that a certain stubborn, soft-hearted dwarf has been courting him all along.

    Summary

    “Thorin.”

    He made a noncommitted sound in response to his husband while he drank his lemonade.

    “I want you to know that despite your stubbornness and lack of faith in me, I forgive you, and I love you more than anything. And that I told you so.”

    Without another word, his One stood, swept at his shirt to rid himself of crumbs, and turned to face the now watermelon sized acorns hanging from the tree in wait.

    ------------------------------

    Bilbo begins his and Thorin's family. Thorin thinks his husband has gone insane, as dwobbits do not grow on trees.

    Except they do.

    A time travel series, where Thorin is sent back after his death to do things over again.
    This series is updated as I get inspiration, so the fics aren't going to be in chronological order. I'll do my best to make it clear when each fic happens though.

    Summary

    “I just wish…”

    “What do you wish?”

    “I wish I could have changed it all.”

    For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?

    Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.

They managed to strike up a friendship (at least partly because Thorin is less of a prat when he isn’t wearing the mantle of an exiled king)... and then years later the quest begins

    Summary

    You do not have to be good.
    You do not have to walk on your knees
    for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
    You only have to let the soft animal of your body
    love what it loves.
    -Mary Oliver, Wild Geese

     

    Or, in which this is another Dragon!Bilbo fic. Over the last 200 years, Bilbo has found contentment within his life at Bag End, and he does not long for adventure, much less to face one of his kin. But he does so anyway, because the ruin of Erebor has deprived him of his favorite tea for the past sixty years, and finds that, in spite of his life of cruelty, he does not have to be lonely.
