    Summary

    “Why don’t you come lie down beside me,” Thorin said. “We could have more of this private talk.” He did something funny with his eyebrows; Bilbo thought he was trying to smolder at him seductively. The result was somewhat hampered by the way he was focused at a spot several inches to Bilbo’s left.

    “You have a head wound,” Bilbo reminded him. “This isn’t going to go the way you’re hoping, you ridiculous dwarf.”

    Summary

    Hobbits have the most unusual ability- when they cry, their single tear crystallizes into a colored gem... Bilbo Baggins hasn't felt emotion since the death of his parents decades ago, but being dragged on the quest and thrust into close contact with thirteen dwarves has awakened his emotions with a vengeance. Can he keep a hobbit's most guarded secret from the outsiders he's befriending, and what in the world does he do about the one he may be falling in love with? He really isn't equipped to handle this anymore! Slow build Thorin/Bilbo.

    Summary

    The meeting had gone from dreadfully long to probably-legally-classifiable-as-torture by the time Bilbo, at the end of his rope, tuned out the arguments swirling around him. He didn’t even know why he was here - except in his position as the King’s… whatever he was, and Thorin, for some inexplicable reason, wanted him there.

    Summary

    Thorin’s hand is forced into finding a Consort. Potential suitors must prove themselves through gift giving. Thankfully a pining Bilbo has a project he’s been working on for months that will hopefully stop his beloved dwarf from marrying another.

    Thorin's glare was redirected to him. "Is it so absurd to imagine me with a spouse?" His voice was bitter.

    Jealousy curdled in Bilbo's gut. It was not absurd, Bilbo had imagined it countless times, but with him as Thorin's husband. However, he couldn't say that, could he? It was obvious Thorin was looking for something, someone, else.
