    Summary

    On his 88th birthday, Bilbo Baggins receives a gift without a sender, a gift which changes everything...

    Bilbo has lived through the canonical Hobbit and quietly raises Frodo in Bag End, when something sends him back to the winter when his parents died. It seems he has been given a new chance at everything, but how long will his good luck last...?

    Trigger Warning: Bilbo will remember uncomfortable things (character death, characted hurt, some scary situations).

    Safety Net: No major character dies in his new life. If you see a character's name listed, that character will not die.

    This story contains kisses and battle wounds, in no particular order. There is also background betting, card games, and pipe smoking, as well as direct transcripts from the movies (Jackson & Walsh & Boyens, 2012, 2013, 2014) and direct quotations from the book (Tolkien, 1937, 1951, 1995).

    Here there be feelings - and songs.

    Enjoy. 💖

    Summary

    Hollyhocking is a common hobbitish disease that crops up when a hobbit feels a sudden, deep, overwhelming affection for another. Its symptoms are in the flowers that erupt from the afflicted's lungs, and its cure is found in the fulfillment of the relationship, the removal of the flowers, or a separation from the object of one's affection.

    As far as history goes, no Baggins has ever experienced a spontaneous, deep, overwhelming, unexpected attraction to anyone. As far as Bilbo Baggins is concerned, none ever will.

    Summary

    Glancing around the room he’d been led to, he marveled at the stonework and beautiful decorations of the room, even as the dwarf led him to a cot, and he sat down, wrapping the coat tighter around himself. It wasn’t hard to do, the thing was massive on him and he felt like he was drowning in fabric and fur. Altogether the most comfortable he’d been in years.

    An older dwarf bustled into the room, setting things down on a table before coming over to look at him. “Right. What’s happening- they said you were found in the orc camp, eh little halfling?”

    Bilbo bristled at the term, and the older dwarf tried to look him over, poking and prodding at him even as Bilbo tried to swat him away.

    He didn’t want to be looked at, and he wasn’t half of anything!

    Or: After destroying a pack of orcs, crown prince Thorin finds that they'd kept a hobbit slave, whose curse prevents him from speaking.

    This is only the first mystery that this hobbit presents to him.
