At the battle, Thorin was never fatally wounded and so never reconciled with Bilbo. Fearing that Goldlust still clouded Thorin’s mind, Bilbo chose to stay near Erebor (despite his banishment) in order to better protect his friends. Set two years post-BotFA, Bilbo works in the kitchens disguised as a dwarf below and Thorin rules with regret aboveSeries

Summary
Thorin emerges from his gold sickness to find that the battle was won, but all that mattered was lost. For two years, Thorin reaps the consequences of what his madness wrought: broken relationships, harrowing self-doubt, an isolated kingdom and, worst of all, a missing Hobbit.
Unable to determine whether Bilbo is dead or alive, Thorin is unable to mourn or to move on, tormented by the slim hope that his One has survived. Thorin has nearly accepted that he will live in ignorance for the rest of his life when someone begins to hide Bilbo’s lost keepsakes where Thorin is sure to find them. Suddenly, answers seem within reach.
