Summary
After the Quest of Erebor, Bilbo Baggins returned to the Shire desolate, with but a little chest of riches as his prize. For years afterwards, he regretted having done so, wishing instead that he had stayed by the side of the one he loved. Yet, he knew his place. As Gandalf had said, he was quite a little fellow in the wide world. A little hobbit like him had no business being a consort to a dwarven king - it was not done.
That was why, when he and the King of Erebor met again, Bilbo didn't think once that the impossible his heart still longed for could ever come true.

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.

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.

Summary
“Tell me, what sort of music do you listen to?” Thorin asks him, raising an eyebrow. “Do you prefer glam or thrash?”
“I—what? Simon & Garfunkel is my favorite band. I like The Smiths if I’m in a bit of a strop, Bowie if I’m feeling adventurous, I suppose,” Bilbo answers, aware there might be a note of snark coloring his words because, well. He was set up, meant to sound like a fool no matter how he answered, and he does not appreciate rude conversational traps like that. He does not appreciate anything about this situation. He does not appreciate the small, crooked, tight-lipped smile that flashes across Thorin’s face at his response, and he does not appreciate the way it makes his stomach drop.
or,
After his eccentric advisor deliberately botches Bilbo's housing application, he is forced to sublet a room with thirteen metal heads living in a condemned frat. He barely expects to survive the journey, let alone fall in love.

Summary
The Belí are a hybrid race: half dragon, half faerie, and wholly arrogant. Once impossible for Prince Keith's kingdom to defeat, they are now the country's tentative ally.
The core agreement of their truce is this: each kingdom will send a young person of royal blood to the other kingdom, to spend five years learning the customs and ways of each place.
A Belí named Lance comes this year, cold-eyed and lovely. And in full possession of the calamity that Belí so often bring, no doubt.

Summary
Kageyama Tobio is a professional racing driver, the new rookie sensation who's about to take home the Piston Cup in his first year.
But a race run recklessly leads to an unprecedented three-way tie, and a tie breaker race is set for a week's time. On the way to the International Speedway, Kageyama gets lost, and ends up crashing into Karasuno Springs - a small country town in the middle of nowhere, ruining their main road in the process. Forced to stay and fix it, Kageyama feels the whole thing is a waste of time, until he meets the town's handyman - Hinata Shouyou, a local dirt track racer.
They're very different, but a shared passion for racing draws Kageyama in, as he tries to work out why Hinata is just a handyman in the first place despite his talent for racing. And over the course of the week he ends up discovering that maybe there's more to life than winning races all by himself.
(A racing AU; based on the story of Pixar's Cars, but everybody is human.)

Summary
It should have been an issue that neither of them could speak the same language. That both of them were men. That there was a war on.
Somehow, though, it did not matter if it was just a single door between them or a thousand miles; there was one language both of them understood.
Love needed no words.

Summary
“What’s your name?” the navy officer asks.
Keith’s true name is gone. Kogane Akira died the minute he decided to step away from samurai status and wander… the decision was cheaper on his pockets and lighter for his soul. He doesn’t regret it. “Kīsu,” he replies.
Lance scrunches his nose in confusion. “Kiss?” Blush peppers the man’s cheeks during the quick misunderstanding. Interesting.
Keith scowls with a shake of his head and puts all his effort into his pronunciation. “Ki-Keith.”
(or, a fic featuring ronin!Keith and navy officer!Lance set in late 1800s Japan)

Summary
Tobio is certain, in the same way he is convinced that he will one day win an Olympic gold medal and have milk at lunch tomorrow, that he and Hinata will play volleyball together at university. He assumes Hinata feels the same, because when it comes to volleyball, Hinata's feelings are always identical.
Except, apparently, they're not.
He'd like to find out why, if only residual body parts and new feelings wouldn't get in the way first.

Summary
Lance snorted and ducked forward, leaning into Keith and tipping his braided head back. He planted a kiss to his forehead from behind, and both of them froze in place, eyes wide. Keith felt like a vat of lava, eyes flicking confused and uncertainly between each of Lance's frozen ones. The crown of his head where Lance was kissing felt fuzzy, and his tingling hands felt like cotton.
When Lance moved again, removing his lips from Keith's forehead, he slapped his hands on the lower's shoulders and stood on the couch quickly, clearing his throat as loud and frankly painfully as he could. "Right!" He almost screamed, "So, uh! There you go! I'll see you at dinner!"

Keith learns to relax, and Lance learns talents can be utilized in different ways
