Summary
In the Shire, hobbits say, "What lovely weather we've having." They also stir their teacups for four and a half clockwise rotations, place their left elbow seven-eighths down the way of the arm rest, and sniffled pointedly, which roughly translates to: "This tea is over-steeped and bland, your furniture is both uncomfortable and horrifically tasteless, and you're a twit of a host."
And I think that's beautiful.

Hobbitish is a language of manners and etiquette, the dwarves don't even know that Hobbitish is a thing, and Bilbo is trying to keep a straight face and his peace of mind while the Company unintentionally keeps sexually propositioning him and challenging him to pie-eating contests to the death.

Summary
At no point in the accidental usurpation of Thorin as leader of The Company and the quest for Erebor, did Bilbo intend for this to turn into an exploration of cultural differences (and something that almost feels like group therapy). For some reason, the Dwarrows aren't complaining, and Bilbo isn't going to question it, as long as the lumoxes behave themselves and do as they're told.
Who knows, they all might yet survive this insane journey.
(Or, where Bilbo decides the Dwarves are all too stupid for him to endure this ridiculousness anymore and Does It Hobbit and the Dwarves suddenly get affectionate.)
*Please note, within this story there are mentions of the underage rape and subsequent pregnancy of an off-screen character. Mentions are brief in chapter 2, and a little more in depth chapter 4. While details are light and are more discussions of emotional aftermath, this may still be distressing to read for those with triggers. Please be cautious.

Summary
With Vivian cured and Camelot's alliance with King Olaf reaffirmed and stronger than ever, Merlin prepares to visit another ally: Princess Elena.
Yet, there are complications. Gwaine, more protective than ever, seems to realize that Merlin is still keeping secrets, and there are still those who oppose the idea of decriminalizing sorcerery. And, of course, there's the lingering question of Morgana's influence. Where is she? When will she make her next move? And what new threats might Merlin and his knights face as they travel the Kingdoms?
~a direct sequel to Bad Dreams; this will not make sense if you haven't read the other entries in the series~

Summary
Merlin had thought he didn’t know what he was getting into when he cleared the air and agreed to stop hating Mordred, but it turned out the knight, not the warlock, was the one who was completely unprepared for what it would mean to be considered Merlin’s friend.

Summary
"Louis, what is a 'Swiftie?'"
"Oh, no," Louis said into the phone, dread gathering. "Did you say something smug and superior?"
"I am Lestat. By definition I am superior, so smugness would naturally follow," he said in that unbearably haughty way of his. "Some relentlessly buzzing mortal asked me about these Swifties, which I took to be either a form of modern conveyance or a tiresome sexual reference, so I dismissed it as silliness beneath my notice. It seems to have caused some displeasure."
