    Summary

    **I'm sorry I'm so slow in updating this. I promise it will be finished! Eventually. But it will be! :p

    Thorin wasn't always so dark and brooding...

    Years after the horror of Smaug and miles away from Erebor, Signí is a young dwarrowess working in her father's shop. As fate would have it, exiled dwarven prince Thorin finds himself living in the same village. Alienated and lonely in the world of humans, the two former childhood friends find themselves in love and finally have a chance to be together... but something sinister is lurking in the shadows. How far would Signí go for the love of her life? Will they create a new life together, or will the madness in Thorin's family prove to be too much?

    This is the life of Thorin Oakenshield.

     

    (This is a headcanon that won't leave me and fills in the years of Thorin's life between the arrival of Smaug and the quest for Erebor. I will try to stay as true to the events in Tolkien's texts as I can while exploring what he doesn't say, though for this story the characters look like they do in the films.)

    Summary

    Erebor falls to the dragon. Only that this time, it is not a red dragon named Smaug, but a green dragon named Bilbo that claims the mountain as his home.

    And with it all the dwarves inside.
    He doesn't kill them or hold them hostage - oh no. He will protect them, from anything and everything. He devotes his life to Erebor, swears to serve them until his last breath. Even if it means forsaking himself. Even if it means to die for them. Just who exactly has taken up residence in the mountain?

    Or: how Erebor ended up with a personal guard-dragon.

    Updates 2-3 times a week.

    Summary

    With the flowers gathered, gifts made, and his every word planned down to the pauses, Prince Fíli sets out to Dale to propose to you. What he doesn't plan on is finding you in your father's tailor shop with one of his Uncle's lords doting on you in a wedding dress! However, things are not always what they seem, and after months of hiding your desire for the Crown Prince of Erebor out of fear of rejection, Fíli is willing to do whatever it takes to convince you that the prince can love the tailor's daughter after all.

    [Use of the 'Misunderstandings' trope is brief and completely resolved through a (hopefully) entertaining conversation (communication is a good thing!). After that, well...things heat up very quickly.]

    Summary

    Dwalin Fundin/Ori Ri, Dwalin/Ori, Dwori, Balin Fundin/Dori Ri, Balin/Dori, Darlin. Soon Nori/Bofur, Eventual Fili/Sigrid, and Kili/Tauriel, Several OC dwarrows. Eventual Thorin Oakenshield/Bilbo Baggins, Thilbo, Bagginshield,
    Ori of the Brothers Ri is a freelance scribe in the poorest part of the City of Dale. He rushes to rescue his trouble-making elder brother Nori and finds a life, romance and food in the Mountain among royalty. Dori has secrets! And there’s nothing like a fairy-tale of scandal and lost nobility! The story is completely from Ori’s point of view. Expect appearances from Thror, Frerin (who is an utterly spoiled brat - apologies to Frerin worshipers), Lady Galadriel, Thranduil and practically everyone else. This is totally safe for Dain fans!
    Smaug never hatched and Isildur listened to Elrond (somebody has to) and the one Ring no longer exists. Sauron is just a bad guy with orc armies.
    There are some serious bits, but mostly it’s just a lively romp with food. Did we mention the food?

    Summary

    After centuries of enmity and misunderstanding, the fates of Thorin Oakenshield and Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, become entwined in ways neither could have foreseen. What begins as resentment—Thorins' deep-seated anger toward Thranduil for not aiding his people when Smaug took Erebor—slowly shifts into something else entirely.

    Through battles fought side by side, wounds tended, and unspoken truths revealed, Thorin comes to learn the depth of Thranduil’s burdens, the scars he has hidden, and the impossible patience he has held for over a century. Thranduil, in turn, watches Thorin battle his own demons, the gold sickness, and the weight of his crown.

    A promise was made—if Thorin could free himself from his sickness and honour his debts, then Thranduil would hear him. And now, in the wake of war and hardship, with Erebor and Dale rebuilding, they find themselves standing at the precipice of something fragile and undeniable.

    With dwarven braids woven by elven hands, whispered words in Khuzdul and Sindarin alike, and an intimacy neither of them ever expected, Thorin and Thranduil must navigate what it means to be bound—not by hatred, but by something far stronger.

    Summary

    The Hobbit told how I thought it went. As well as how it should have ended. No one dies. A mix of the book, the movies, and a few personal touches!

    Not really good at writing summaries. Whatever. Keep in mind that I'm only in high school, have no idea how to write, and that English is NOT my first language! I'll do my best to keep this comprehensible :,D

    Summary

    With mounting worries of wolf and orc attacks in The Shire, the Thain calls upon an old agreement with Durin’s Folk of old— a marriage of convenience. Bilbo Baggins, the Thain’s grandson and Master of Bag End, represents the hobbits of The Shire while Thorin II Oakenshield, Heir Prince Under the Mountain, represents the dwarves of Erebor. Both must abide by this ancient agreement with the pressure of their families and for the betterment of their people.

    Bilbo and Thorin will enter the courting of both cultures— Thorin will travel to the Shire for nine months, and then Bilbo to Erebor for nine months. All hope everything goes well...

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins’ letter was different from all the others Thorin had received at that time.
    First, Bilbo actually got his name right. Very little people cared to learn Thorin’s name those days, so most of his packages were sent as “to the blacksmith in the woods”. He used to have a name, a title and a kingdom. And then, after the dragon fire, all was left were ashes, a hunted kingless kingdom and the bitter taste of defeat.
    Yet, somehow as if a miracle, there it was: “To Mister Thorin, Blacksmith from Erebor”.
    ⊹˙⋆˙⊹
    But what shall they do, when a long awaited prophecy finally comes? When the war is sure, when the dragon wakes up, will love be enough?
    Duty calls, Erebor must be saved.
    or
    Alternative Meeting AU where Blacksmith Thorin meets the most curious hobbit by pure luck. And they fall in love with each line of their letters to each other.
    ALSO, Alternative journey to Erebor! With new kin, new characters, new adventures and two dumbasses in love trying not to die!

    Summary

    In which I attempt to answer the question: what if Thorin and Bilbo met before the formation of the Company? How does their first meeting change when there is no dangerous quest looming over them? (A partial AU where most of the canon events happen the same way except they are married the entire time).

    I have all ten chapters outlined and most of them will include prompts from a Year of Bagginshield. Expect updates about once a month (I hope!).

    Summary

    It's Bilbo’s birthday! He gives The Company gifts the week leading up to his birthday to celebrate, and they are scandalized. They start avoiding him and giving him the cold shoulder and he doesn’t understand why. What's so wrong with a little bit of Shire cheer?

    Summary

    Rosuanne “Ro” MacZorya never expected her twenty-first birthday to lead her into Middle-earth—one year before Gandalf ever came knocking on Bilbo Baggins’ round green door. The Shire welcomes her with orchard paths, flour-dusted kitchens, and tea parties that feel almost like home.

    But Ro carries a secret: she comes from the far future, from a world where magic has long since faded and Middle-earth survives only as a half-forgotten legend. Now, in a land still alive with song and shadow, the past begins to stir, voices whisper her name, and even the gentlest bird’s song may carry the weight of destiny.

    Ro may have found a home in the Shire, but fate has other plans—and some stories refuse to stay forgotten.
