    Summary

    The tale was little more than a bedtime story—an ancient union between dwarf and hobbit that would one day restore the balance of the mountain. No one believed it. Least of all Bilbo Baggins.

    But when Thorin Oakenshield arrives in the Shire under royal decree, that old legend stirs to life. One hobbit is to be chosen. One name pulled from the box. And fate, in all her mischief, picks Bilbo.

    Bound by duty, thrown into a marriage neither asked for, Bilbo and Thorin must learn to share more than just a roof. Between lingering glances, tense silences, and the slow unraveling of walls long held firm, the line between obligation and something far deeper begins to blur.

    He never meant to fall for a dwarf.
    And Thorin never meant to be charmed by a hobbit.

    But sometimes, love doesn’t bloom in gardens—it’s forged under pressure, quietly, until it’s strong enough to hold the weight of a kingdom.

    Summary

    When they reach their majority, every hobbit is encouraged to carve or forge a spoon that would be their Love Spoon. It’s a very sacred process as no talking can be done during the crafting of the spoon. All of their energy must be concentrated on pouring their hopes and dreams for the future into their spoon. Reflecting especially on what type of spouse would compliment them most, what type of marriage they hope to have, and what vows they would make to honor and cherish them. The symbols etched into their spoon would showcase all of this so that way when their future spouse used it for the first time, they knew exactly what they were getting out of this marriage. And that’s it. Once someone has taken a bite from a dish prepared by the spoon’s owner, they are married in the eyes of the Shire. The act is reciprocated, and the lucky couple move in together in marital bliss.

    Bilbo agonized over his spoon. A spoon no one ever seemed to want, and he had accepted his fate at no one ever eating from. Then a company of dwarves invaded his dining room, and their leader took a bite...

    Summary

    Bilbo was tired. He had seen the flames of Mount Doom explode in his face. He had drowned in the Brandywine river before ever reaching Rivendell. He had died defending his Company from the trolls. He'd died in Goblin Town. He'd died at the gates of Erebor, dropped from a mad Thorin's grip. He'd been run through, burnt to death, squished by a very angry dragon, drowned – multiple times, that was a particular nightmare, thank you – and killed by the sword so many times that the sheer thought of it had lost its shock to his system.

    Bilbo was very tired of dying. He was very tired of failing his friends and family and ones he loved above all else. Bilbo was tired of the Ring and its stupid manipulations. Bilbo was tired. Bilbo was so very tired. But after yet another death he woke up again...

    ...to find that his dwarves, his Company, his Thorin and Dwalin, act in a way they never had before.
