    Summary

    The gift of hobbits is a secret not known to dwarves. Bilbo’s gift saves the Company—repeatedly—and they don’t even know it until after Smaug is dead. But by then, just about everybody knows there’s a hobbit in Erebor, and the invading orcs decide to keep Bilbo and his otherworldly gift for themselves.

    Summary

    After being rescued by Bilbo, Thorin begins to realize that his feelings for the halfling are more than simple gratitude. But past ills cannot be so easily undone, and the growing need inside him proves difficult to understand or control. And although he might be king in name, a man without land or wealth has little to offer anyone.

    Summary

    It would have been easier had he gone away with Gandalf after the battle, before the hollow place Bag End left inside him was filled with something new.

    After weathering out the winter months in the mountain, Bilbo's stay in Erebor draws to an end. But as his departing date creeps closer, he begins reflecting back over the past year, contemplating the meaning of 'home' and where he truly wants to be.

    This is the one with Thorin stomping down the horse trough! Also has Bilbo achingly lonely in the Shire, which is always delicious

    Summary

    Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins have been parted for many years now, despite the love they bear each other. Now Thorin's research has uncovered a dire threat to Middle Earth--the Ring he carried a little while and then gave to Bilbo. Together with a group of companions composed of the different Free Peoples of Middle Earth, they must attempt to destroy the artifact before its Dark Lord can re-capture it.

    Begins in 2968, twenty-six years after the events of "Clarity of Vision" and fifty years before the canonical events of "Lord of the Rings." Thus, characters' ages and the geopolitical situation will be different than LoTR canon!

    Summary

    Thorin’s time in the Shire is growing its bark, as they say, but it makes for a lonely little sapling. Hobbits prefer the company of other hobbits; the hobbits of Hobbiton are no exception.

    Bilbo’s cousin changes this by accident.
