    Summary

    Early in his travels with the dwarves, Bilbo has a growing fever but says nothing for fear of being seen as weak and slowing down the quest. He presses on until he literally can't anymore and the company is forced to wait on him to recover. Bilbo wants nothing more than Thorin's approval, but a small series of missteps and ill-timing has the dwarf frustrated with Bilbo's vulnerability, and Bilbo questioning whether he should have ever come on this quest in the first place.

    Summary

    „We all lost family that day,“ Balin choked out.

    Bilbo stared at him across the fire.

    „The day the dragon came,“ Dwalin continued in a low voice, „we‘ve lost our baby sister, our Freya. It was my fault. I should not have fought with her. I couldn’t find her that day, no matter how long I searched. I have no right to call myself her brother.“

    Dwalin stood up and left the lit space. The company fell silent again.

    The hobbit heard a lot of stories from the dwarrows along their journey, about home and family, but seldomly about loss and not once from Dwalin and Balin about the day the dragon came.

    Bilbo could see how Balin sheepishly wiped away some tears, and he witnessed an expression in Thorins face he had never seen before. Regret and the pain of a broken heart.

    ~

    Freya's ear itched as if someone was talking behind her back. Probably Thranduil, that pointy eared drama queen of the woodland realm. She shifted her attention back onto her son, a splitting image of his father, riding a large black bear as if it was a pony. She could not help but smile, pushing away the sorrow in her heart, as she thought about her brothers and how she had lost them the day the dragon came.

    Summary

    In a land far northwest of Middle-earth, the Shire settled with the greenest hill in all of Arda. The inlands and uphills are inhabited by small creatures called Hobbits. They are peaceful folks, and the other people of Middle-earth have known them for the peace and bliss they have lived in for hundreds of years.

    Hobbits are not fighters. They are healers, crafters, caregivers, gardeners, cooks, and more and are not suited for impromptu frontline combat like the rest of the races of Middle-earth. They are simple creatures with simple desires in life. Change has been long unwelcome in the Shire, for they believe that things don't need to change and things are perfect the way they are and have been for hundreds of years. Shire folks strive to achieve peace. Peace makes things simple.

    And yet an ancient whisper travels the wind. A tale foretold that when the fatherlands are in need of a helping hand, the once hidden race will come out of their hills and stand forth finally to assist with their gifts and finish what others had failed to do.

    What these gifts are, nobody knows. Not yet at least.

    But it is close to knowing. So close indeed.

    Summary

    “For things are made to endure in the Shire, passing from one generation to the next.” – Fellowship of the Ring
    Hobbits are not what the others races believe. Crafted by the Valar and blessed with inherited magics called knacks, Hobbits have been ensuring the peace between the Free Peoples for a long time. No one else knows and Hobbits are content to keep it that way. However, years ago Shire life was disrupted by the marriage of Gerontius Took to Adamanta Chubb, originally known as the dragon Arradeth. Years later Bilbo Baggins is paying the price of being an odd hobbit, having inherited both Took and Baggins knacks along with his grandmother’s blood, and is the only one of her line to also have a dragon form. Now Gandalf the Grey is once again in need of a hobbit for an adventure and Bilbo must decide. Should he accompany the wizard and his group, face a dragon, and risk revealing Shire and family secrets? Or does he abandon his people’s sacred purpose and allow a stubborn king to send part of Middle Earth into war? Not to mention that if Bilbo does go he risks not only his life, but losing his dragon Heart to a band of suicidal dwarves. Either way, the choice of Bilbo Baggins may rule the fate of all Middle Earth.

    Summary

    “Are you absolutely sure you saw a halfling?” Thorin demanded.

    Kili paused as he looked at his uncle. For the first time, he almost thought he saw some hope in those dark blue eyes. His smile softened, he knew how important this was to his family, and to his people. Finding a hobbit was the only redemption for the dwarrow of Erebor, especially for the line of Durin.

    He took his uncle's calloused hand and said, “I swear it uncle. At least one hobbit still lives.”

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Of all the tales in Arda, there was none so tragic as the history of hobbits.

    Bilbo lived a peaceful life hiding in the Shire. It was quiet, safe, and a little bit lonely. Though loneliness was a small price to pay if it meant keeping his existence a secret. After all, getting captured by the savage dwarves of Erebor meant certain death. At least that's what the stories his mother used to tell him warned.

    Never trust a dwarf.

    Summary

    ‘At the beginning of their quest, Dwalin had no idea what to make of their burglar. She was a small, sweet thing and while undeniably beautiful, Dwalin was uncertain how she was meant to be an asset to their company rather than a liability.’

    Dwalin’s feelings for Bilba grow from protectiveness, to admiration, to love. Plus throw in some ‘Hair is sacred to dwarves’ because that’s always delicious.

    Summary

    Dwalin has never seen anything so delicate and perfect as the sweet thing in front of him. Bluebell came in a close second, right after the tray of cookies she was holding.

    Dwalin falls for Blue's cookies first and Blue shortly there after. He is firmly in denial that his Heart Lode is a feisty, courageous, sarcastic, kind, loyal Hobbit. Once everyone finds out though they do their damnedest to make him admit it and that the little Hobbit is head over heels for him even if she won't admit it.

    Summary

    Balin has been adviser to three generations of the throne at this point. He started out late into King Thror's rule after the kings last adviser died (Was murdered by King Thror for trying to tell him something he didn't like). He didn't really count his role to Thráin II since the man was so out of it that Thorin had been named regent as a tween.

    Being Thorin's adviser had been his greatest achievement, even as tween the crown had suited him. But being an unmarried king had drawbacks and Balin had spent just as much time getting Nori to 'dissuade' pushy suiters as he's spent helping Thorin with royal matters.

    Bilba Baggins is a breath of fresh air and Balin has been planning the royal wedding since she wondered in to their lives. Now he just has to get her here for it.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was undeniably different from the other Hobbits, whether it was because he was the only one with curly black hair or because he had learned to use a sword with the help of the Elves. The thing was that Bilbo Baggins was not completely a Hobbit, he was half Hobbit and half Dwarf. His mother was left at the altar pregnant, by none other than Thorin Oakshield, after all the Dwarves have strict rules against marrying someone outside their race. And Bilbo Baggins lived without caring to meet his biological father, but everything changed with the arrival of Gandalf who offered him the opportunity to meet his father and also to find the other half of his soul. It's not like Bilbo could say no, after all.
