    Summary

    Yâsithâlh barufur, zyungur; yâsithâlh gem.
    Those that marry with family, with love; those that marry three.

    -

    On the long road to the Lonely Mountain, Bilbo Baggins was becoming quite the scholar of Dwarven customs, whether she liked it or not. It often felt as much a curse as it did a blessing, but as this quest proved, her boldness and curiosity had a nasty habit of overriding her good sense.

    And, of course, her ill-considered fascination with one burly dwarf in particular was simply another example of that.

    Summary

    Tree and flower could speak, and they had much wisdom to share and much fun to play at—but rock and jewel could sing!

    Gimli had told him that once upon a sleepless night; a passing thing, a more well-known convention of the Dwarves compared to their pantheon of secrets. Legolas had paid it little mind then, for they were on the road and surrounded by root and grass anyhow, so he thought it mattered little.

    The Elf cursed himself for that negligence now. It was not his way to hear the song of rock and jewel, but certainly he could see its instrument, for the ridges of the walls were like the strings of a famed Dwarven harp. And he wished so badly to hear its song.

    Or: A few looks into Legolas' sea-longing, and the joyous things that make it more bearable.

    Summary

    Ori absolutely will not be complaining about her work. She will not. It’s nobody’s fault Balin needs more help than she can give. No one’s at all and so she’ll keep her mouth shut.

    Summary

    Before her father died, Bilbo Baggins swore him a secret, that no one would ever find out that the steadfast heir of Bag End was female. No one could ever know that she was, in fact, not a he. It was a secret she had planned to keep until the day she died. She didn't expect, however, for Gandalf the Grey to turn up at her doorstep with a company of Dwarves who wanted to reclaim their homeland from a dragon. Nor did she expect to follow after them.

    But she did. Because she felt something towards their story. Because she knew, deep down, what it meant to not truly have a home. And it definitely had nothing to do with their leader with his heroic figure and his haunting voice. Nothing to do with Thorin Oakenshield at all.

    She followed them on their dangerous journey across the world. But she knows that she has to keep her distance. It doesn't matter how charming they are or how kind. None of them can know. She has to keep it secret. She must keep it safe.

    Summary

    The Dwarrowdams of Dori's family had disguised themselves as male Dwarves ever since Erebor fell, first for safety on the roads, then to avoid trouble in villages of Men, and somehow it never seemed safe enough to stop. When Thorin called for Dwarves to join on the quest to reclaim their home, Dori and her sisters signed on as the brothers of Ri with no one suspecting a thing.

    Summary

    “It is one thing to know that your child will grow up and fall in love with the one that shares their mark and an entirely different thing to see the proof before your eyes; proof that your child will not only lead a different life from you, but be taken from you by someone who you may never get the chance to know…”

    -From the personal journal of Belladonna Baggins

    Billa Baggins had grown up knowing that she was different, and it was not simply because of the fact that she was a Took-Baggins. While that was a partial factor to her strangeness, what was more definite was her flowering on the back of her left ear. Unlike other Hobbit flowerings that marked out the name of their soul mates, Billa’s flower was in a different language that was clearly not Hobbitish, with rough runes that were slightly warm to the touch.
    Everyone in the Shire knew that Billa was not ever going to marry another respectable hobbit.

    Summary

    Bella can't believe her eyes when she receives a letter in the post from Erebor. She had thought to never hear from the Company of Thorin Oakenshield in this life.
    She hadn't thought to write not wanting to remind them of her existence more than they might already remember her. Now there was a chance of a visit where it would be discovered the treasure she brought home with her.

    Summary

    "Please Gandalf... please don't tell him." She begged, her voice thick with emotion and unshed tears.

    Gandalf met her eyes with as forlorn an expression as she'd ever seen on his face. There was such sadness held there at the answer she knew he had to give.

    "It would be a promise I cannot keep." He told her as kindly as he possibly could. "I'd rather not keep a father and his child from each other- a King and his heir even less so."

    Billa looked away but didn't flinch when a warm, rough hand touched her shoulder offering comfort. She desperately needed it. She was so frightened.

    "Did you love him?" She heard him ask. She clung to the sympathy in his voice and nodded as her eyes brimmed with tears.

    "Do you still?"

    The answer was barely a whisper- as small and secret as the fluttering heartbeat under her shaking hand.

    "Yes."

    Summary

    Legolas knew Gimli’s body as well as his own, and he knew when it was subtly different. An immortal Elf never changes, and the workings of time upon his lover were a marvel to him. It fascinated him. It enchanted him. How could one person be made of such endless, enthralling variety?

    Now, he only had to convince Gimli of such.

    (Easier to convince the moon.)

    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.
