    Summary

    The Company arrives not on the same day as Gandalf’s appearance outside Bag End, but the next day- right around the time of Bilbo’s luncheon to celebrate his venerable Aunt Flora’s birthday. To avoid total scandal and humiliation, he must find some way to hide an ever-growing number of dwarves within Bag End, including one who happens to be his true love. Surely not impossible, but where’s that dratted wizard gotten to…?

    There is a long fluff which was a pluss. Angst is not that deep and quickly resolved. Bilbo had some edge to him by the end.

    Summary

    Great-aunt Pansy Baggins had claimed from the very beginning that nothing good would come from the marriage between the most respectable of the Baggins and the most rebellious of the Tooks. No one believed her when young Bilbo, born too soon and too weak to cry, survived his first weeks into the world.

    They changed their mind when, at four years of age, Bilbo transmuted his mother’s cutlery into a flute and began to play the elven lullaby Belladonna sang for him every night.

    It caused a scandal. For the Baggins side of the family, anyway. The Took side had a good laugh.

    Hobbit with alchemy. Really good pacing. Bofur is a shield-brother, also cute.
