Summary
Erebor falls on a Tuesday.
The bond fires three minutes later, because Mahal has always had terrible timing.
Dwalin son of Fundin is standing in the wreckage of everything he has ever known, surrounded by three hundred grieving dwarves, with a rut cracking open his chest and no face to put to the one who caused it.
His One is somewhere in this.In the smoke, in the dark, in the flood of bodies pouring off a dying mountain.
He searches for twelve days.
He finds Nori instead.
This is either a cosmic joke or a love story.
The difference, as it turns out, is about sixty years.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins hasn't had a heat since his tweens—not since he tucked that part of himself away with the rest of his foolish, romantic instincts.
Thorin's Rut has been triggered for the first time in his life—something sacred among dwarves, only ever meant for a One.
They are both fighting it. Failing. And the only thing keeping the king himself from tearing the world apart to get to Bilbo is a crumbling barrier of decency, some very helpful goats, and three very tired chaperones.
Meanwhile, corrupted magic stalks Beorn's lands, a celestial Maia begins to stir awake in the forest, and the Company tries desperately to keep their burglar comfortable, clothed, and not climbing their king like a tree.
It's not going great.
