    Summary

    "How is he?” Bilbo asked softly, trying to keep the worry from his voice.

    Balin’s face went dark, and he sipped thoughtfully on his tea. “... It’s slow, but his fever has begun to break,” he said. “Still, it’s the worst I’ve seen him. I think it’s the worst he’s ever had.”

    ~~~

    Thorin recovers from both physical and mental afflictions. As with all recovery, the path of healing is non-linear and agonizingly difficult.

    Summary

    When he was a child, Bilbo was told of soulmates. They were a legend, really, so rare they only happened in the shire every few hundred years- but his parents had sworn up and down that they were meant for one another, cut from the same cloth or different sides of the same coin.

    Bilbo had believed, and wished himself- that one day he might find his other half.

    And then his father died, and his mother turned into a shell of herself, alive but really quite half-dead.

    She’d died a few years later of natural causes, yet far too young.

    Bilbo wonders if there’s such things as soulmates in Dwarven culture.

    Or: hobbits soulmates will die if their other half does. Bilbo finds out the hard way.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was ready to die. He'd sailed to the West, left Middle-earth behind — and carried a grief that had never faded.

    But the Valar offer him one final gift: a single night back in Bag End, at the very start. One last chance to see Thorin and the Company, to remember what was lost.

    He doesn't expect Thorin to look at him like that.
    He doesn't expect it to hurt this much.

    And he certainly doesn’t expect morning to come.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins comes to the realisation that the world is a very different place than he first expected - any world he's in, at any time, and mostly due to the fact that Thorin Oakenshield exists in all of them.
