I Carry Your Heart (I Carry it in My Heart) by HazelBite
Fandoms: The Hobbit - All Media Types
01 Feb 2026
Tags
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.

Yavanna Loves Her Husband's Children by Dragoness2525

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 DenverPerhaps 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
In the aftermath of the Battle of the Five Armies, Thorin's belief in Bilbo's betrayal has lessened, but not enough to take back his banishment.
Bilbo Baggins, accompanied by meddlesome wizard Gandalf, journey back toward the Shire with heavy hearts. When they reach Rivendell, Lord Elrond convinces Bilbo to start a new life amongst the peace and plenty in the Hidden Valley. Bilbo agrees, knowing that the child he carries will be endangered on the road and that the warm welcome and healing expertise of the elves will be just what he needs to start anew.
However, as part of the new found peace amongst Erebor and its neighboring lands, an envoy is sent to Rivendell in gratitude of the shelter they provided the company of Thorin Oakenshield. In this envoy are several members of said company.
Faced with this reunion, Bilbo must decide if keeping his secret and thereby preserving his heart from possible hurt is more important than forgiving mistakes and moving on from the past.

Summary
In the aftermath of the Battle of the Brothers, Nori has negotiated a peace treaty. Of sorts.
One which identifies a new target for our warring factions:
Who can most effectively initiate a courtship between Thorin Oakenshield, he who would be King Under the Mountain, and Bilbo Baggins, surprisingly-evil-good-natured Hobbit gentleburglar?
Without, of course, arousing the suspicions of either party.

AU: In which Bilbo does not intend to adopt two dwalfling children. But that is what he does when he finds them all alone in a bush on the edge of his garden shivering in the cold.
The thirteen dwarfs that follow, the wizard and the (admittedly) really attractive former Prince and Lobelia shrieking down his ear that follow he could really do without.
But there you are.

Summary
What was it about this would-be dwarf king? Bilbo had enjoyed his share of youthful indiscretions, but for many years he’d been settled into comfortable bachelorhood, the fire in his blood well-banked if not entirely extinguished. Then Thorin Oakenshield had quite literally crashed through the front door, with his bright eyes and his sonorous voice and his bothersome quest, and Bilbo had lost his wits.
The story of a relationship between a hobbit and a dwarf, from flirtation to consummation to disaster . . . and back to hope and home again.

The Company shows their affection for Bilbo in accordance with dwarvish tradition. Bilbo... has no idea why everyone keeps giving him gifts.
(Dwarves give gifts of craft to start friendships or romance. Everybody lives AU, canon-compliant through the first movie.)

Summary
In which I attempt to answer the question: what if Thorin and Bilbo met before the formation of the Company? How does their first meeting change when there is no dangerous quest looming over them? (A partial AU where most of the canon events happen the same way except they are married the entire time).
I have all ten chapters outlined and most of them will include prompts from a Year of Bagginshield. Expect updates about once a month (I hope!).

To Fix What Was Broken by hobbitoutoftime

Summary
When Mahal himself offers to send Thorin back to the start of the quest to save the line of Durin, he is determined to make amends for all of the mistakes he made the first time around.
When Bilbo wakes up in Bag End eighty years in the past, all he knows is that he has somehow been given the chance to see his beloved dwarves again and he'll be damned if he doesn't take it.
Both dwarf and hobbit are desperate to prevent the quest from ending in tragedy, but neither will be able to do it on their own. They'll need to work together if they want to keep the entire Company alive and whole --but first they need to realize that they are not alone in their efforts, and they have to stop getting in each other's way at every turn they make.
Hopefully, they'll learn some things this time that they failed to learn before. And maybe, just maybe, they'll find their happy ending that both have been yearning for.

Summary
Ishrimabî Amrâdu. Death's Blemish. A slow disease with no cure, one that could sweep through a mountain hall in days, felling all it touched.
He closed his eyes, thinking of all those who sheltered from the harsh winter within Erebor's walls. They made do in a kingdom that was more akin to a tomb, tumbling into ruin around them. Repairs were underway, but they would take years to complete. He would never see this place restored to its former glory. Those would not be his days to reign.
His fate, it seemed, was sealed.
When disease strikes at Erebor's heart, consigning Thorin to a lonely death, Bilbo makes a choice that could change the path of their destiny. Can they heal together and find their way to the love they both hope to claim, or are they doomed to nothing but tragedy?

Buck's mind goes blank: suddenly and perfectly blank like a briskly shaken Etch A Sketch, the tracks of his thoughts swept clean. Eddie's mouth is on his. Eddie's nose bumps his nose, and his stubble rasps, and Eddie is kissing him.
And this is probably a bad idea.
The thought surfaces briefly. This is probably a bad idea. They don't do this. They haven't talked about this. Until thirty seconds ago, he was perfectly certain that Eddie was straight.

Or: Eddie's love life gets some supernatural meddling.

Summary
“Why don’t you come lie down beside me,” Thorin said. “We could have more of this private talk.” He did something funny with his eyebrows; Bilbo thought he was trying to smolder at him seductively. The result was somewhat hampered by the way he was focused at a spot several inches to Bilbo’s left.
“You have a head wound,” Bilbo reminded him. “This isn’t going to go the way you’re hoping, you ridiculous dwarf.”
