    Summary

    You know the clichéd Bilbo-the-dragon-skin-changer stories? Let’s do something a bit different.

    Dragons are less endangered than most people would prefer. Dwarves are twitchy about that sort of thing, but Gandalf isn’t going to let that stop him, because there’s one dragon that’s a hobbit where it counts, and it’s not in his appearance.

    Bilbo Baggins is not particularly ancient, or the lone member of a once great race of skin changers. He wasn’t cursed, he’s not on probation. He hasn’t got a grudge to fulfil or a debt to repay. He's a dragon, and that's not the type of thing that's easy to hide.

    Summary

    He shed his scales for skin, traded his wings for sturdy feet. But his claws remained sharp and the fire in his belly burnt bright, for he was still of the Dragonkin, no matter the form he wore. And when the dwarves came knocking, offering him a chance to exact his revenge on Smaug, how could he resist? Dragon!Bilbo AU.

    Summary

    After sneaking into the room where the Arkenstone is kept safe, a young prince Thorin touches it and a strange burning mark appears on his palm, moments before the jewel bursts apart and something hatches from it.

    Turns out that it wasn't a jewel after all, but an egg — a dragon egg. And the dragon and Thorin are now connected physically and mentally, able to communicate through their thoughts.

    Somehow, Thorin doesn't mind at all.

    (Or: The Arkenstone is found when Thorin is a child, it's actually a dragon egg, Bilbo hatches from it, and they fall in love)

    Summary

    From outside the mountain, there came an ear-splitting roar. Smaug’s head whipped around and all the dwarves froze. A shudder of sheer, unadulterated fear ran through Thorin’s body and locked his limbs mid-motion.

    Another dragon had come to Erebor.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit, that much was true. There was something that did set him apart however. He did not start as a hobbit, and he did not always take the form of one. You might recognize one of his other names. He is also known as Smaug the Dreadful, Smaug the Magnificent, and occasionally Silvertongue.
