    Summary

    Erebor was reclaimed, everybody lived, Thorin was reunited with the nephews he thought were lost, and Bilbo chose to stay in the mountain as Thorin’s “assistant” rather than return to the Shire.

    Bilbo has settled into what he's sure will be many years of peace and homely comforts with Thorin, until a brutal war with a resurgent Sauron claims the lives of the king and both his heirs. The new king Dain returns alive from the last battle and begins to reshape the court of Erebor to suit his own purposes. Overlooked and underestimated, Bilbo is left to ask himself the big questions, like whether he still has a place in the Lonely Mountain.

    And also, questions like: isn’t it awfully convenient for Dain, that everyone ahead of him in line for the throne died in the same battle?

    And also: where are their bodies?

    A story where Bilbo is basically The Constant Gardener, Dain is basically Richard III, and the descendants of Durin may be harder to kill than in canon.

    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    Stiles has a demon in his chest, a fake name, and a talent for walking toward things that are going to kill him.
    When his partner's banshee vision traces the apocalypse to a small town in Northern California, he fakes a federal badge and goes to investigate. Two women are dead. Something ancient is hunting in the preserve. And the deputy assigned to his case is the soulmate he's been running from for seven years.

    A murder mystery. A love story. A very bad plan.

    "How rude of me," Stiles said, because the silence was interesting but he wanted to see what happened if he filled it. "We've been standing here this whole time and I haven't introduced myself. I'm Stiles. And you're Peter's—what? Nephew? The broody artistic type he keeps locked in the attic?"
    "The rude part, Stiles," he said, with the precision of someone who had been waiting to finish a sentence, "was the breaking and entering."
