    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    On his 88th birthday, Bilbo Baggins receives a gift without a sender, a gift which changes everything...

    Bilbo has lived through the canonical Hobbit and quietly raises Frodo in Bag End, when something sends him back to the winter when his parents died. It seems he has been given a new chance at everything, but how long will his good luck last...?

    Trigger Warning: Bilbo will remember uncomfortable things (character death, characted hurt, some scary situations).

    Safety Net: No major character dies in his new life. If you see a character's name listed, that character will not die.

    This story contains kisses and battle wounds, in no particular order. There is also background betting, card games, and pipe smoking, as well as direct transcripts from the movies (Jackson & Walsh & Boyens, 2012, 2013, 2014) and direct quotations from the book (Tolkien, 1937, 1951, 1995).

    Here there be feelings - and songs.

    Enjoy. 💖

    Summary

    A knocking on the door made her look up from the book she was reading.
    A guest? At this hour?
    Slowly the small Hobbit stood up to answer the door.
    „Dwalin, at your service.“ A dwarf. A dwarf on her doorstep.
    A dwarf she knew a long time ago. A dwarf who died in battle, proudly swinging his weapon.
    With a blank stare she scanned the dwarf.
    ‚Oh Yavanna, how cruel of you‘
    Another moment the hobbit stood in the half open door, slowly realizing what was happening. In her empty eyes a spark lit up, after a long and cold winter. A single teardrop ran down her cheek, breaking her numbness.
    „You are alive?“ She wispered under her breath.
    Before Dwalin could react the small hobbit jumped at him, hugging the big warrior and sobbing at his chest.

     

    A retelling of the hobbit

    This is my story of the hobbit and their journey to reclaim the lonely mountain.
    I do not own the hobbit or the characters in it.

    Summary

    Bella has felt trapped by the tight constraints of Hobbit society and her family ever since her parents died. But as her magic grows stronger day by day, there is a herd of Dwarrow who would be more than happy to take her, in exchange for some help with their pest problem.

    It's a simple deal, really. She steals their home back for them. They steal her from her home.

    That's all there is to it, of course, because nothing could happen when stuck in close quarters for 8 months. Especially when there's magic involved.

    --Formerly--

    Bella doesn't know why she expected to be able to live a quiet life. She didn't particularly want a quiet life, she was more in the habit of it than anything else. So when a wizard shows up on her doorstep and a bunch of dwarves brings her a quest that she has particularly good skills to accomplish, well...Habits are made to be broken...Right?

    Summary

    The earth opened up around him and swallowed him whole, taking away his consciousness and wrapping around him like a warmed blanket. He fell and finally found peace, finally felt hope for the first time in sixty years. As the last of Yavanna's warm caress fell away, Bilbo could just hear the whisper in the air.

    "You will be our salvation, Bilbo Baggins."

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This time, he would be prepared.

    This time, he would not be the weak line, the liability.

    This time, the line of Durin would not fall but thrive.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When the day of Gandalf’s arrival finally comes, Bilbo allows himself to sit down on his bench, puffing on his pipe. He closes his eyes, not even looking up when Gandalf’s shadow falls upon him, relishing the distinct feeling of déjà vu.

    He’s finally doing it, finally changing it.

    He cannot wait.

    Summary

    Hobbits are the children of Yavanna. Dwarrow are the children of Mahal. Yavanna tasked her children with the care of all growing things, but especially her husband's children, and gave them sex magic to heal the dwarrow.

    **************

    Hobbits and Dwarrow, at one time, lived and worked in close association with each other - a symbiotic relationship, to the benefit of both. Over time, however, that knowledge was lost, and the two races drifted apart.

    Enter Bilbo Baggins, The Baggins of Bag End, of the Shire - who is offered an opportunity to improve the lives of 13 dwarrow, unexpectedly. How will this connection, these gifts, change the outcome of an unexpected journey?

    Summary

    What begins as Ori only intending to share a bed roll with Fíli for warmth one night, eventually turns into the acquaintances becoming curious about each other after, then falling in love over the course of the quest despite others wishing they would just leave each other be.

    Meanwhile, Thorin is doing his best to be a good example for his eldest sister-son and not act on the urge to let himself be wrapped around one specific Hobbit Omega's fingers. However, he fails spectacularly.

    The rest, as some say, is history.

    Bluebell Baggins hadn't been expecting visitors so late at night.

    Much less Lady Dís. It had been years since the Battle of the Five Armies.

    But Bluebell is happy to see her, even if she can’t help but remember about her past.

    Summary

    "Please Gandalf... please don't tell him." She begged, her voice thick with emotion and unshed tears.

    Gandalf met her eyes with as forlorn an expression as she'd ever seen on his face. There was such sadness held there at the answer she knew he had to give.

    "It would be a promise I cannot keep." He told her as kindly as he possibly could. "I'd rather not keep a father and his child from each other- a King and his heir even less so."

    Billa looked away but didn't flinch when a warm, rough hand touched her shoulder offering comfort. She desperately needed it. She was so frightened.

    "Did you love him?" She heard him ask. She clung to the sympathy in his voice and nodded as her eyes brimmed with tears.

    "Do you still?"

    The answer was barely a whisper- as small and secret as the fluttering heartbeat under her shaking hand.

    "Yes."

    Summary

    Before her father died, Bilbo Baggins swore him a secret, that no one would ever find out that the steadfast heir of Bag End was female. No one could ever know that she was, in fact, not a he. It was a secret she had planned to keep until the day she died. She didn't expect, however, for Gandalf the Grey to turn up at her doorstep with a company of Dwarves who wanted to reclaim their homeland from a dragon. Nor did she expect to follow after them.

    But she did. Because she felt something towards their story. Because she knew, deep down, what it meant to not truly have a home. And it definitely had nothing to do with their leader with his heroic figure and his haunting voice. Nothing to do with Thorin Oakenshield at all.

    She followed them on their dangerous journey across the world. But she knows that she has to keep her distance. It doesn't matter how charming they are or how kind. None of them can know. She has to keep it secret. She must keep it safe.

    Summary

    Long after the Mountain’s shadow has faded, Bilbo Baggins still wakes from dreams of dragonfire and stone halls. Though the Shire cradles him in its familiar green embrace, a quiet ache stirs—one of longing for far-off places, for voices lost to time, and for the heart he never meant to give away.

    When an invitation from Rivendell arrives, offering the chance to learn, to write, and perhaps to heal, Bilbo faces a choice: remain in comfort, or once more step onto the road… and into the unknown.
