    Summary

    “A soulmate,” he says to Gale, “is someone who is perfect for you in all ways.” Gale wrinkles his nose. “Someone who’ll love you for everything you are,” he says. “Soulmates, Gale, they—they feel the same pain you do, they get the same bruises and same cuts. Because if you’re meant to be in pain, so are they. Your pain hurts them, their pain hurts you."

    --

    Madge Undersee has a hickey that doesn't belong to her. Gale isn't sure he wants a soulmate.

    --

    Happy Gadge day! <3

    Summary

    It happens on a random morning in May when Alex, age fourteen, pads into the kitchen to greet his mother and steal a waffle from June's plate and sees a man sitting at their breakfast counter, reading a newspaper, a cup of coffee raised to his lips. Like he belongs. Like it's the most natural thing in the world. June doesn't seem to give the man a second thought. She merely flicks Alex on the forehead and takes back the waffle. Ellen isn't worrying, either. In fact, she's talking to him. Asking what his schedule is like. Making plans for dinner.

    Alex has never seen this man before in his life.

    Summary

    After everything, Bilbo becomes an integral part of castle workings—and honestly, there’s not much waiting for him back at the Shire. So he stays, and decides to learn more about dwarrow culture while he’s at it. As it turns out, dwarf kings are significantly more affectionate than he’d expect...

    (Or: Four dwarf traditions Bilbo adopted, and one very pleasant custom that dwarves and hobbits share.)
