    Summary

    It was sheer chance when Bilbo thought back on it. What if he’d stayed home? What if someone else had run up the lane before him?

    But it was him. It was him and it was Kíli, and Bilbo wouldn’t change it for the world.

    *

    Long ago, a dwarf child was lost and found in a storm by Bilbo Baggins. He has no idea where his young ward came from; all attempts to find Kíli's family failed. Sticking together, they make do and it's a peaceful life.

    Until Gandalf arrives with talk of adventure. Until the Company of Thorin Oakenshield arrives on their doostep.

    Or: Kíli's a missing prince. Bilbo's not about to let his (son) ward face a dragon without him.

    Summary

    With mounting worries of wolf and orc attacks in The Shire, the Thain calls upon an old agreement with Durin’s Folk of old— a marriage of convenience. Bilbo Baggins, the Thain’s grandson and Master of Bag End, represents the hobbits of The Shire while Thorin II Oakenshield, Heir Prince Under the Mountain, represents the dwarves of Erebor. Both must abide by this ancient agreement with the pressure of their families and for the betterment of their people.

    Bilbo and Thorin will enter the courting of both cultures— Thorin will travel to the Shire for nine months, and then Bilbo to Erebor for nine months. All hope everything goes well...

    Summary

    In the course of her adventures, Bilbo finds herself pregnant. Without an offer of marriage from Thorin, she returns to the Shire to raise the child with the help of her family.

    The King Under the Mountain is heartbroken that Bilbo chooses to leave Erebor, but he cannot blame her. Not after he tried to kill her. There was a time when she would have proposed marriage, but that time is clearly past. If all he can have of her are her letters, then he will be grateful for the missives.

    Getting these two to talk just might take divine intervention. Or the intervention of a particularly interested child.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins came home one sunny spring day exhausted, half starved and pregnant. His heart was broken, his name cursed by the dwarves he had saved and his house was on auction by the worst relative you could imagine. It was, understandably, a terrible day.
    Once it comes out that Bilbo is *expecting,* however, even the most prim and proper hobbits are scandalised at the poor treatment he received by the conspicuously absent father (and, by extension, all his kind). The Shire rallies around their poor, ill-treated and half-starved kinsman, and the climate of dwarvish relations takes a decidedly chilly turn.
