Summary
After years of traveling to Erebor to celebrate the New Year with his dwarven friends, Bilbo Baggins decides that the time has come to stay in the Shire. He has certain familial obligations that have gone unaddressed for too long. Specifically, an orphaned nephew who needs him. Much as he will miss the Durin's Day celebrations, and a certain dwarf in particular, his travels must end. Fortunately, that does not preclude others from traveling to visit him.

Summary
“–Come Durin’s Day, the Mountain will host great entertainments, games, and feasting in your name and in the names of the other thirteen of the Company. Your path through all of Arda shall be made smooth to ensure your welcome in our lands, Bilbo Baggins. I bring this summons as it was sent from the Throne of Thorin, King Under the Mountain.”
Bilbo’s heart, racing as it had been from this thrilling invitation, seemed to trip over itself at the name. “Thorin?” he whispered, and he stepped forward without thinking.
--
Or: Bilbo learns that his story isn’t actually a tragedy, and that happy endings still take a bit of luck.

Summary
"Bruce?" he said, voice hoarse and cracking. "Bruce, what—what's happening?" His throat worked. He tried again to move his arms, himself, and failed; again the chains rattled. His gaze flickered away from Bruce, and found the nearest of the open containers that surrounded him: not large, not many, but the mouth of each crate glowed steadily green. "What are you doing? Did I—what did I—" He stopped, squeezing his eyes shut, sucking in an uneven breath. "I don't remember—"
An unsurprising and uninventive tactic. But then Bruce supposed he should've expected as much. "Let go of him," he said, without inflection.

Summary
Batman's heartbeat keeps speeding up whenever Clark is around. For instance: when Clark greets him, half-naked, on a Gotham rooftop. Or when he uses his superstrength to save a busload of schoolchildren. Or sometimes even just when he smiles.
Clearly the poor man is terrified of him.

Summary
Harry Potter spent his eleventh birthday in a cabin on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea, listening to his cousin snore on the couch.
When a knock sounded on the wind-swept, rain-drenched door, it was not a giant fist (or a half-giant's fist). It was a short sharp rap that sounded once, twice, three times before Minerva McGonagall simply charmed the lock open and stepped inside.
"Apologies," Minerva said crisply, as Vernon raced out brandishing his rifle and Petunia pulled Dudley up off the couch and behind her. "I wasn't sure you could hear me over the weather.” The rain fell down behind the professor in a roar. She was perfectly dry.
Minerva fished in her pocket without looking, because the only things allowed in her pockets were only ever exactly what she needed. “I've come to deliver this," she said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Harry, who was cross-legged on the floor, "because our owl post seems to have been unable to get through.”
“And I've come to deliver this," she added, pulling out a second letter, "because Hogwarts by-laws require a professor to hand-deliver acceptance letters to Muggleborn families for their explanation and comfort."

Summary
“Come on, boss,” Tim says. “You’re going to have to help us out here. If it’s really you, give us a meow?”
Jon hates all his assistants. Every single one of them. But, on balance, he supposes it’s best if they are cognisant of the whole situation, so he reluctantly opens his mouth and gives his crossest, least friendly meow.
*
Or, when Jon reads a Leitner and is turned into a cat, Martin is the only one who can take him home overnight. And, to top things off, it’s a Friday, so they’re going to have to spend the whole weekend together.
Surely things can only go downhill from here.

Summary
To die — to sleep. To sleep — perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub! For in that sleep of death what dreams may come?
The first thing Jon does when he wakes up, sprawled naked across the messy satin sheets, is grab for the thick fur blanket folded up at the foot of the bed. It feels heavenly against his cold skin, soft and warm, and the dark behind his eyes is empty and comforting. He won’t be able to sleep—he doesn’t let himself sleep—but he needs ten full breaths to rest and recover. Jon squeezes his eyes shut and curls beneath the blanket and breathes. He’s alright. He’s alive.
He’s alive.
