    Summary

    Thorin will never forgive Bilbo for his betrayal, for his stealing the Arkenstone.

    Bilbo will never forgive Thorin for the way he’s treated him since their return to Erebor.

    Their arguments are tense, awkward and often fiery… before long, one of them is going to snap. And not in a way that either expect.

     

    Or: Thorin and Bilbo rile each other up in more ways that one…

    Summary

    When the fifth Durin's Day celebrations of reclaimed Erebor are nearing, Bilbo recieves an invitation he didn't think he'd accept.

    So Bilbo finds himself returning to the halls under the mountain as Erebor celebrates its rebirth —and finds that peace is a stranger to those who have spent too long surviving.

    Summary

    For 81 long years, Bilbo felt a perpetual emptiness. A melancholy permanently etched into his heart. He had his nephew and his friends, yet something was missing, a gap in his life left hollow. It shouldn't be. Not really. He'd known them for a mere one year. Yet in that one year they had etched themselves into his soul. Just as they dug into stone, they had dug their way into his life.
    His dwarves.

    When they died it had felt wrong, as if the world had misstepped and by mistake taken from middle earth what it sorely needed. Taken its breath, stolen its sunlight. The fire within the forge had been put out and grown as cold as the stone surrounding it. Bilbo knows it wasn't meant to be that way, knows they were meant to live.

    When Bilbo gets a second chance to keep that fire alive, he makes darn sure he fans the flame.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins, in the last days of his life, departed Middle-earth bound for the blessed realm with his companions. Until the Valar intervene. The Valar offer him a chance to change his fate, and with it the history of Middle-earth. He sets out to save the line of Durin and to prevent the ring from ever going to Frodo...but the Ring of Power has a will of its own, and its power is not one to be lightly thrown aside.

    Another Battle of Five Armies fix-it, because we can never have too many stories where there is more to their story than death and grief. Though in this case, there is still some lingering grief. This timeline will be a mash-up of the book and movies, along with some lore and events from the later trilogy (LOTR), and assorted other Tolkien lore taken from various essays, works, and one very entertaining interview between Richard Armitage (Thorin) and Martin Freeman (Bilbo). Anyway, hope you all enjoy!

    Summary

    As Bilbo skimmed through the contract, Thorin leaned closer to Gandalf, voice low, "I cannot guarantee his safety."

    "Understood," the wizard nodded.

    "Nor will I be responsible for his fate."

    "Agreed."

    "And you are certain he can handle my sister-sons? He does not look to have any children of his own."

    "I'm sure he will manage." Gandalf gave him one of his signature smirks, one that managed to both calm Thorin's thoughts and make them significantly worse at the same time.

     

    OR: When Bilbo decides to join Thorin's Company as a burglar and a babysitter, he expects to watch over Thorin's nephews, maybe tutor them a few times a week, and eventually steal something from the Lonely Mountain. He did not expect, however, to really care for these dwarves in a way he had never felt about any other hobbit.
