    Summary

    Thorin holds his empty vessel out imperiously. “I suppose I could try it.”

    “It might be a little sharp or bitter across the tongue, though I suppose that’s something you’re quite accustomed to.”

    Thorin’s lips twist to the side, and if Bilbo isn’t careful he could mistake it for a taste of a smile.

    AKA Five Times Thorin drinks Bilbo's tea, and one time he doesn't quite get round to drinking it.

    Summary

    Perhaps Love
    by John Denver

    Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm.
    It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm.
    And in those times of trouble when you are most alone,
    the memory of love will bring you home.

    Winter in Erebor has set in quickly this year, one full year after the Battle of Five Armies, and word has reached the mountain of dangerous conditions in the passes of the Misty Mountains. Unfortunately, this coincides with the late departure of Kili, Tauriel, and Bilbo from the Shire, bringing Bilbo's most precious belongings back to the mountain where he plans to make his home. A rescue party sets out from Erebor, unsure if they can reach them in time, or what they might find when they do.

    Written for the 2025 Midwinter Gift Exchange on the Bagginshield Book Club Discord Server.

    Summary

    “My birthday’s September twenty-second. We’re exactly a month apart.” Bilbo had grinned at him so widely then that Thorin barely registered the implication of what he’d said.

    “Yours has passed too,” he frowned when he realized. “We shall have to do something for next year.”

    “Next year? You’d… want me to stay through next September?” And the hope that Thorin knew Bilbo was trying to smother shone so clearly on his face that he’d wanted to throw all caution to the wind and show him exactly how close he wanted him to stay.

    AKA

    Hobbits and dwarves celebrate their birthdays differently. Chaos and confusion ensues.
