To Fix What Was Broken by hobbitoutoftime

Summary
When Mahal himself offers to send Thorin back to the start of the quest to save the line of Durin, he is determined to make amends for all of the mistakes he made the first time around.
When Bilbo wakes up in Bag End eighty years in the past, all he knows is that he has somehow been given the chance to see his beloved dwarves again and he'll be damned if he doesn't take it.
Both dwarf and hobbit are desperate to prevent the quest from ending in tragedy, but neither will be able to do it on their own. They'll need to work together if they want to keep the entire Company alive and whole --but first they need to realize that they are not alone in their efforts, and they have to stop getting in each other's way at every turn they make.
Hopefully, they'll learn some things this time that they failed to learn before. And maybe, just maybe, they'll find their happy ending that both have been yearning for.

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.Series

When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in his old bed in his old home in his old body. Is this death? Or a trick of magic? Either way, Bilbo recognizes a second chance when he sees one, and this time his adventure with Thorin is going to go a bit differently.

Summary
Belladonna Baggins grew up as a mostly respectable Hobbit, though the songs that often echoed through her mind were not those heard around the Shire. But when a Company of thirteen dwarves arrives on her doorstep at the behest of a wizard she hears the song in person. With a split second choice she joins the company, desperately curious to know if one of these Dwarves was the one being she was fated to meet.

Summary
After the fellowship disbands, Legolas and Gimli find themselves back at Rivendell, neither knowing where their next purpose lies. Luckily, their dislike of idleness isn't the only feeling they share.

Fear and Family (Or, the One Where Kíli Is the Sensible One) by Lumeleo
Fandoms: The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)
01 Mar 2016
Tags
Summary
After the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo isn't sure of his welcome in the mountain, and thus returns to the Shire as soon as he can. Somewhat to his surprise, Ori goes with him -- but it turns out Ori has his own reasons for leaving Erebor behind. Well, Bilbo's quite used to being the talk of the Shire.
The line of Durin might suffer of thick skulls, but fortunately Kíli is less stubborn than his uncle and brother, and decides to fix things, even if that means taking his newlywed wife for a ride all the way to the Shire and beyond. Of course, he doesn't yet know what he'll see there -- but he does know how to fix things. Even if it means giving up his claim to the throne.
(Let's not kid ourselves -- that's his favourite part.)

Soulmates And Where to Find Them by Lumeleo
Fandoms: The Hobbit - All Media Types, The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)
30 May 2015
Tags
Summary
Hobbits, Bilbo finds, have an exceedingly simple way of finding their soulmates: You fall in love with who you will, and once you both feel the same, you'll get your marks. Dwarves, in typical dwarven fashion, do everything backwards, getting their marks first and then trying to find the matching one. Really, he's quite content to be courted by Thorin, who has no mark at all.
Kíli has no mark, either, until they come to Mirkwood, and things get needlessly complicated. Because of course elves do things yet another way, as though Bilbo didn't have enough of a headache already.
Of course, there's also the ultimate question: how to tell about your pregnancy to a partner who is not only gold-mad, but also doesn't believe in the existence of illegitimate children?

One of These Days (Again and Again) by authoressjean

Summary
“Right,” Fili said. “We need to all stay alive, then. That shouldn’t be too hard.”
“You try it,” Bilbo muttered. “See how well you do.”
~
By a curse or a blessing from the Valar, Bilbo finds himself repeating the same horrific day of war outside of Erebor again and again. His repeats are always triggered when someone from the company falls. He suffers days and days on his own before the others begin to repeat the day with him.
One would think that with the whole company, an elf king, and a bowman all knowing what was to come, Bilbo would have an easier time getting them all through the day alive.
One would think that, wouldn't they.

Velle by DeHeerKonijn, Roselightfairy
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien

Summary
Velle (Latin): to want.
“It was the act of bodily union that achieved marriage, and after which the indissoluble bond was complete.” -J.R.R. Tolkien, “Laws and Customs Among the Eldar”
For the whole year they have been living and working in Minas Tirith, Legolas and Gimli have postponed their marriage – planning to wait on even their elven wedding until the conditions are right for the dwarven ceremony as well. But on the eve of their parting to Ithilien and Aglarond, faced with the prospect of an indefinite separation, they decide they can wait no longer. They want to be wed now, so they can part as true husbands – and so they can finally satisfy long-deferred desires.
To both of their distress – and the great amusement of Legolas’s companions – they are soon to learn that some desires are not so easily deferred . . . and that the formation of the marital bond is only the beginning.

Summary
Aragorn’s hunt for Gollum was interrupted by what seemed at first but a village disturbance—a stray child in distress, or so it appeared.
Yet there could be no mistaking the points of her ears, nor the light that lingered in her gaze. Long had the Eldar ceased bringing children into a fading world.
Yet here she sat, perched on a common oak, her bare feet swinging, her copper hair alight.
How had she come to be? And why, when all wisdom said such joy had passed from the world?

Summary
Gimli closes his eyes, an old Dwarf on the brink of death in the home he had built with his husband in the Undying Lands, and opens them again as a young Dwarf in his childhood home in Ered Luin. He's returned to the tumultuous week before The Company set out to recruit their Burglar from his cosy hobbit hole. Gimli, once again a impetuous teen in the eyes of his family, must get into that Company--the lives of his loved ones, and the very fate of Middle Earth--depends on it.

Summary
'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.
Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.
To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'
The night before the Battle of the Black Gate, and several days after.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
Sigrid knows next to nothing about Dwarves, except some saved her and her siblings' lives when they were children, fifteen years ago. Since then, she has had little contact with them unless it was necessary for diplomacy.
Kíli knows something of Men but isn't terribly impressed, and even a bit wary of them, given their poor treatment of Dwarves at large.
Soon, they are to be wed when tensions between Dwarves and Men reach a boiling point. In each other, they will eventually find their One, as much as hearth and home.

A Modern Girl's Guide to Middle-earth by Anonymous

Tags
Summary
For as long as internet fanfiction culture has existed, the trope of a modern girl falling into the world of Middle-earth has been part of it.
Some love her, some hate her (Fanlore, 2025). But no one can deny the permanent impression the Modern Girl has made on LOTR fanfiction as a whole.
This guide was written for all the fans who have at some point wished for their own adventure in Middle-earth, as well as a heartfelt thank you to all the authors who have sent their OCs on amazing journeys for our entertainment.

Summary
Amy somehow ends up in Middle Earth, falling into Bilba Labingi’s garden. While she fairly quickly understands where she is, there is the small problem that she has no idea when, at least not at first. Also, this is clearly not the version of Middle Earth Tolkien wrote about. For one thing, Bilba has the wrong gender. And for another… Amy can’t understand anything Bilba—or anyone else for that matter—tells her. She needs to learn a brand new language, while going on an adventure that might just possibly kill her.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, she starts hoping that this isn’t a Bilbo/Thorin romance, because she may just possibly be falling a bit in love with a certain grumpy dwarf.
