an excerpt from 'An Unexpected Friend'
---
Smaug looked at the creature he'd caught. What a tiny thing it was! Even smaller than the dwarves, and much lighter of step. Had it not been holding a beacon while rifling through his gold, Smaug would hardly have noticed it.
But here it was, and the dragon was careful not to crush the tiny thing in his grasp.
"Here you are," Smaug rumbled, opening his hand.
Inside it was a creature he had never seen before, but upon closer inspection, one he knew immediately in his heart as kin. The creature carried within it something Smaug hadn't encountered in ages: the touch of the Green Lady.
A fellow child of Yavanna, after all these years.
"Hello,"

Summary
“Well, of course!” Master Baggins spoke his observations in such a factual manner. “Handsome beards on the line of Durin indeed. Surely, I’d only look all the more foolish sitting next to you.”
Thorin blinked and felt heat rush up beneath his cheeks. Prayed to Mahal that his humble beard might survive the sudden praise. For again, he had always wished that Master Baggins might find him attractive in spite of his less than suitable beard, but here was Master Baggins ever the Unexpected. And here he was dolling out such lovely compliments.
“Not his beard,” Dwalin let out with a mirthful scoff. “It’s not any better than Kíli’s.”
“Oh, nonsense!” Master Baggins furrowed his brow. “You mean to tell me that you dwarves consider it unattractive to groom one’s beard so short?”

Summary
“I win.” It was now Thorin who said it.
“I’d say it’s more of a stalemate, wouldn’t you? A tie?” Bilbo said nervously. He stared, becoming increasingly aware of the strong legs that trapped his own and the shrinking space between him and Thorin. One of his hands moved from the hilt of Sting to the wrist of the shadow above him.
“There must be a winner. One can’t get their spoils without a winner.”

Summary
*wakes up in cold sweat* what if BILBO was the emotionally distant one???
“Right so, courting went badly. He tried to–” began Dwalin.
“Yes exactly! But I didn’t fall for it!” said Bilbo.
“Then you do not like him?”
“Of course I do!”Bilbo is thoroughly disoriented when Thorin starts treating him as a friend, after weeks of quite explicit hostility. Even more when he cannot deny that Thorin is flirting with him. Almost, he allows himself to believe the dwarf could be genuine in his care. That's before he recognizes the pattern for what it is; a wicked trick to rip the only friends Bilbo ever truly had from him. He refuses to be deceived like that again.
Thorin is mostly confused and hurt, when his attempts at courting seem to result in pure fury and hatred.
