    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

    Bilbo Baggins was born with the gift (or curse) to see things no mortal should.

    And yet Arda insists on placing its weight in his hands: threads of fire and shadow, dragons and crowns, love and loss. Guided by the Blue Lady, showing and protecting him from what is coming. Shielding himself from futures that threaten to break him.
    As darkness gathers and forces older than memory move against Middle-earth, Bilbo chooses to stand in their way.

    But first, he must help his beloved dwarves reclaim their home from a dragon—while keeping them, and himself, alive in the process. As his love for Thorin Oakenshield deepens, so too does the burden of the truth Bilbo cannot share.

    Because no one can know.

    Especially Thorin.

    Because if Thorin ever learns the truth—

    He will die.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was ready to die. He'd sailed to the West, left Middle-earth behind — and carried a grief that had never faded.
    But the Valar offer him one final gift: a single night back in Bag End, at the very start. One last chance to see Thorin and the Company, to remember what was lost.
    He doesn't expect Thorin to look at him like that.
    He doesn't expect it to hurt this much.
    And he certainly doesn’t expect morning to come.
