    Summary

    Sequel to Gold of the Daffodil.

    Using a mix of book and movie canon, this is a re-telling of the Quest for Erebor with The Company of Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins. A partial AU where most of the main canon events still happen but with a new dynamic added in: Thorin and Bilbo are newly married.

    Their relationship will be tested over and over again. They will find out if their deep connection and love for one another are strong enough to survive elves, evil creatures, a dragon, gold sickness, and the constant threat of death.

    Written as part of the Acorns & Oak Leaves WIP Round-Up event. With original art by youbetyourbuttons! 😍

    Summary

    In a rain-soaked Northern England town, two insomniacs find solace in the only light that matters: The one burning in the window across the narrow alleyway.

    Bilbo Baggins, a gentle author and bookseller drowning in self-doubt, and Thorin Oakenshield, a brooding carpenter carrying the weight of a failed legacy, have spent months as silent companions in the dark. A 2 AM cigarette. A shared understanding of heavy silence. The comfort of knowing someone else is awake.

    But when loneliness finally forces the neighbours to cross those twelve feet of cobblestone, they discover that the line between friendship and something more is as fragile as the sleep they've been chasing.

    Summary

    Hobbits are the children of Yavanna. Dwarrow are the children of Mahal. Yavanna tasked her children with the care of all growing things, but especially her husband's children, and gave them sex magic to heal the dwarrow.

    **************

    Hobbits and Dwarrow, at one time, lived and worked in close association with each other - a symbiotic relationship, to the benefit of both. Over time, however, that knowledge was lost, and the two races drifted apart.

    Enter Bilbo Baggins, The Baggins of Bag End, of the Shire - who is offered an opportunity to improve the lives of 13 dwarrow, unexpectedly. How will this connection, these gifts, change the outcome of an unexpected journey?

    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.
