    Summary

    Summary

    The room was quiet, apart from the breaths of the two men cramped together into the too small bed. A small solace, hidden between the walls and the rough texture of the uniform. A ragged breath, held desperate as he buried his face into the ranger’s neck. The arms around him tightened ever so slightly and he felt like he was suffocating.

    Summary

    “Thorin, I have a weak heart. It has trouble pumping enough blood through my body. That’s why I’m always so low on energy. And…” Bilbo swallowed, forcibly keeping his eyes on the flickering flames. Thorin wasn’t moving by his side. “And it’s failing. There are healers in Greenwood who have gifts for mending hearts, but there isn’t much chance it will work. I haven’t been very responsive to any other methods, and… Well… I don’t have very long.” Bilbo dropped his eyes to his hands. He’d ripped the four-leaf clover Bofur had given him. It seemed horribly symbolic of his life.

    Headed to Greenwood to see the healer Thranduil, Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey hitch a ride with thirteen dwarves headed to Erebor.

    Bilbo had hoped it would be like the adventures he read. That there would be orcs, sword fights, torture, revenge, trolls, chases, or escapes.

    He had never expected miracles or true love.

    Summary

    They called him Durin the Deathless because he was reborn time and time again into his own line. Some said it was because he was too powerful to be kept back by death. Others believed that he came back to lead his people in their time of need. But the truth was really not so complicated.

    Summary

    AU (Erebor never fell). The Kingdom of Erebor is rich and powerful but the dwarrow within are not happy. For an ancient curse has fallen on their Crown Prince and he had been turned to stone. Only the presence of his One will return him to normality-but if he does not meet the mate Mahal made for him before the Midwinter Festival, before midnight on the Yule Solstice, he will remain stone forever.

    When a lowly Hobbit cleaner finds a statue incongruously in a hidden corridor, he of course has no idea who he is or what story lies behind his presence. Or who the grumpy dwarf Prince is who appeared when he returned to the corridor to perform an act of kindness. If only Bilbo Baggins knew why the Prince was desperate for him to return, perhaps he could help...and cure more than an ancient curse...

    Summary

    Business pulls Bilbo to the town of Scary, but it is the journey home that changes everything for Bilbo. Family, it seems, comes in many forms, and quite possibly in the form of a scarred, silent shade of a Dwarrow Bilbo finds in a ditch.

    Family, though, is a tricky thing, and there's fun to be had when they come looking for their kin.

    Summary

    “You have a tiny Hobbit,” Fíli said, sounding astonished. “Why do you have a tiny Hobbit?” Kíli asked, his voice suspicious. “Did you get married?” asked Fíli, now sounding worried. “This is not good,” Kíli muttered, with twice the worry as Fíli. “Uncle, why are they staring at you?” Frodo asked, his voice confused.
    Bilbo fled Erebor before his friends could be buried, before he had to see Thorin encased in stone. He returns to the Shire and settles into a life of unsociability and some amount of loneliness, but finds comfort in the figures of the children of Hobbiton.
    After twenty years, however, his luck is gone, and Bilbo has to flee the Shire with Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin, and with four very young Hobbits, there is only one place he can turn to.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)
