    Summary

    No words are spoken, but Thorin draws a rattling breath and steels himself. After everything he has done to Bilbo, he at least owes him more than this.

    “What happened?” Bilbo says, before Thorin gets there. “Did we make it to the mountain, did we find the door? The last thing I remember is Lake Town—I’m assuming the attempt to steal a bunch of weapons did not go well, then?”

    The words take a moment to sink in. When they do, Thorin finally understands what people mean when they say that the floor dropped out from right beneath their feet.

    Up on Ravenhill, Bilbo wakes a little earlier. It allows him to save Thorin's life, and almost—almost—costs him his own; which, as far as Bilbo is concerned, is a worthy exchange, no matter Thorin's own thoughts on the matter.

    If only the aftermath, and all that still stands between them, would be so clean-cut and easy to resolve.

    Summary

    “Do you think she realizes I have neither a beard nor any axes?” Bilbo said idly. “I mean, of course I know it is an idiomatic phrase, but it is rather funny when you think about it.”

    “You have a beard and axes of the spirit,” Thorin said firmly.

    ---
    Thorin has always been happy to see Bilbo adopt dwarfish ways, until it is pointed out to him that Bilbo, not actually being a dwarf, might be happier in their marriage if Thorin were to make a bit of effort to adopt some hobbitish ways in turn.

     

    Naturally, Thorin goes about this in a sensible and moderate manner.

    Summary

    In order to stay in Erebor, Bilbo must be adopted into a dwarven family, but not every dwarf is keen on that idea.

    Oh, but not because they're xenophobic, quite the opposite: Everyone wants to claim their favorite hobbit burglar as their brother!

    “One week,” Bifur grunted in Khuzdul.
    “One week,” Dori agreed shortly.
    They shook hands over the table as Bilbo tuned back into reality, and the hobbit frowned a little at the battle-ready postures on either side of the table.

    He should have known nothing with dwarves would ever be easy.

    Summary

    The gift of hobbits is a secret not known to dwarves. Bilbo’s gift saves the Company—repeatedly—and they don’t even know it until after Smaug is dead. But by then, just about everybody knows there’s a hobbit in Erebor, and the invading orcs decide to keep Bilbo and his otherworldly gift for themselves.

    Summary

    After his heroic sacrifice on behalf of the dwarves of Erebor, Bilbo will be well cared for. Naturally, he hates the idea. Crossing half the world, riding barrels, and fighting spiders was supposed to change things. No one should need to carry him anymore. Thorin understands such pride better than most, but he will stop at nothing to have the hobbit safe in his arms.
