    Summary

    Though not well known outside of the Shire, it has long since been the case that Hobbits cannot survive the loss of their soulmates once they choose to let the bond form, their grief Withering them away only days or weeks after their other half dies. Most Shire-folk refuse to take the risk, finding love elsewhere, but if this quest has proven anything, it's that Bilbo is not like most Shire-folk.
    The battle is over, and Thorin is not dead. Bilbo seems to be Withering anyway.
    .
    Óin can't help but chuckle when he enters the healing halls to find Bilbo asleep next to Thorin. It's hardly the first time their Hobbit has found his way to Thorin's side since they moved from the battlefield to the mountain, supporting his One as Thorin slumbered on.
    It was not the first time he'd found Bilbo sleeping by Thorin's side.
    It was the first time Bilbo didn't wake.
    .
    (Can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    The detail that had taken the most time (as small as it was), were small oak leaves. Three spanned the width of the bead, so no matter which way it was twisted one would always show.
    A symbol of the strength and resilience of a king, forever embedded in this little bead, personally handcrafted by Bilbo.

    In which no small act of observation goes wasted, Thorin yearns like he has no other purpose, and Bilbo's act of kindness saves the line of Durin.

    Summary

    “No! Bilbo, stay….stay with me, stay focused on my voice.” Thorin said desperately, saying the words he’d heard healers say whenever a patient under their care was close to dying and they struggling to save them.

    Bilbo tapped his hand, stroking it, or trying to, merely covering Thorin with blood.

    “Don’t…worry. Everything….will be alright.” Bilbo's breath was coming in short stuttering gasps. “You’ll…be alright, I’ll be…alright. Kili…and Fili…it will all work well.”

     

    When Bilbo jumps in front of Azog's sword to save Thorin, Thorin thinks the hobbit is lost to him. Little does he know that hobbits have a form of hibernation, called Winter Sleep, that can be triggered when they are severely injured.

    Summary

    He wasn’t dead.
    Or, if he was, the halls of his fathers were gone completely, replaced with this strange afterlife.
    But he doubted it.
    And if he wasn’t dead, and this was the quest once more… he had to make sure nothing changed.
    In battle, two simple seconds could be the difference between life and death, and they had narrowly escaped death far too many times.

    Or:
    After dying on Ravenhill, Thorin gets sent back in time to the start of the quest, and is determined to do things right.

    Summary

    Bilbo is left to tend Thorin as he hovers on the brink of death after the Battle of the Five Armies. Is love enough to save Erebor's king, or is this the last farewell?

    "It reminded him of plucking daisy petals to the litany of loves-me, loves-me-not. Yet nothing so simple as love lay on his mind. He barely dared to think it, but his question was not a matter of the heart. It was more basic, more instinctive, and he couldn’t help but feel that with each strand of hair he tended he was divining Thorin’s destiny."
