    Summary

    Sure, Thorin wasn’t the prettiest dwarf in sight, but nothing that warranted the disgust Bilbo seemed to harbor towards their King. Dwalin will be damned if he let this hobbit disrespect Thorin like that, his dear friend and King. That’s no way to integrate into their already closed off group, Dwalin thought, however much he knew some of the dwarrow were eager to make Bilbo’s acquaintance.

     

    Based on the lovely headcanon that Thorin is ugly by dwarven standards, and Bilbo couldn't disagree more. His Gay Yearning (TM) is mistaken for utter repulsion by the rest of the company, which causes some problems.

    Edit: 10/9-21, slight rewordings and overall improvements! No storyline changes, but hopefully a couple months' experience makes for a less cringey read and fewer spelling/grammar/punctuation errors. Shout at me in the comments if I missed anything!

    Summary

    “I speak of Thorin’s marriage,” Dain announced.

    Bilbo’s mind stuttered to a stop. “What?”

    “Thorin’s upcoming marriage. It is widely expected.”

    Everything in the Great Hall suddenly seemed louder, almost suffocating. A cold tension swept through Bilbo’s body as the idea tried to take hold. Thorin? Marriage? To whom?

    Summary

    Bilbo knows his soulmate is a dwarf, so he joins the Quest for Erebor. Even if he doesn't meet his soulmate along the way, at least he will help that unknown dwarf return to a well deserved home. Still, it would be nice to meet his match. Dwarves, after all, are unexpectedly attractive. Particularly their king.
