    Summary

    There are several things that the dwarves don't know about the hobbit that is traveling with them. Things that Bilbo is glad to let them find out for themselves along the way.

    The first is that he's prepared for anything. His mother used to quiz him about what he'd do in any situation - from relatives to trolls - and Bilbo never disappointed her with his answers. Riding a pony all day gives him plenty of time to plan for everything.

    The second is that he can throw a stone or any other small object hard enough to embed it several inches into a tree trunk. His accuracy is uncanny even by Shire standards. He's quite proud of it.

    The third is that he doesn't actually say so many proverbs when at home but it seems to annoy the dwarves so he spends time thinking up all the ones he's heard before.

    And last, hobbits scold like it is no one's business. The Dwarves he's traveling with really have no idea what will happen if they truly piss him off.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins, the newly appointed Master of Bag End, has just reached his majority. He lives alone in his fine house, managing his estate, and ignoring the people of Hobbiton as much as they avoid him. When a storm lands him with an unexpected (and unwelcome) little visitor, all Bilbo wants to do is find the baby Dwarf's missing family so he can get back to his own life.

    That's not what happens.

    Summary

    “Hey, kid, what are you doing here?” the kind blonde woman asked. Steve stared up at her with a frown, crouched down next to a dumpster in New York, 1974.
    “You can’t make me go back to the doctor’s. I don’t like it there.”
    “Not a fan of Doctors, are you?” the man in a leather jacket said, crouching down to the little kid’s eye level. His smile bounded playfully with amusement.
    “No. They don’t let me run!”
    “Well, kid-“ “- I’m Steve, and I’m not a kid - ” “- Steve the Kid, then - I’m The Doctor, and this is Rose Tyler. Do you want to come run with us?”

     

    — In which Steve Harrington ran through space and time, stared into the Heart of the TARDIS, and claimed his name.
    Now, it’s 1983 in Hawkins, and he’s still running.

    Summary

    Harry wasn't one of the most observant people, he's well aware of that. Still, though, surely even he would’ve noticed if he’d been walking around reading everyone’s mind.

    Apparently not.

    So here he was, sitting opposite Snape after a particularly disastrous occlumency lesson, experiencing what he's pretty sure Hermione would call a 'paradigm shift.’

    "I did what? How?!"

    "That, Potter, is the question."

    Wasn’t legilimency supposed to be one of the most difficult disciplines of magic? Conjuring his Patronus was more difficult than what he just did to Snape.

     

    Or: how Harry became a prodigy in the Mind Arts against his will. He wasn’t sure who was more pissed off about it; him or Snape.

    But he's fine.

    No, really.
