    Thorin and Bilbo return to the Shire after thirteen months, no longer the people they once were.

    But beyond elusive poems and secret languages maintaining the faintest distance between them, they’re finally home.

    Summary

    Everything was white

    The snow around him, chilling his fingers, the sky above him, and rocks that cradled his body-

    The ringing in his ears-
    The pounding in his skull-
    Oh gods what happened?
    He groaned, trying to sit up, but even behind the darkness behind his eyelids the world spun. Spun so fast his stomach revolted against such motions even though there was nothing to expel. He tried to think back on how he managed to end up like this. He remembered the ramparts, the approaching enemy of four different armies-
    He remembered fighting goblins-
    He remembered Azog-
    He remembered Bilbo-

    Summary

    "Oh, my dear Frodo, my dear boy how could I have let him go off just like that! With my terrible, cursed ring?!"

    His feet stumble on the carpet and Thorin lurches forward to grasp the halfling by the shoulder. He's gentle, worried that he may snap the frail Bilbo in two if he pulls him back too hard. There's a stuttered sigh and Bilbo eases back into the taller dwarf; Thorin can remember a time where the hobbit's head would be held at least as high as his shoulder, but at one-hundred-and-twenty-eight, the halfling now bowed lowly at the breastplate of his shining, royal armour.

    "Easy, ghivashel," he says softly to him, and cautiously turns the hobbit so he can look him directly in those remarkable honey-brown eyes, "I will follow their trail and make sure that no harm comes to the boy."

    Bilbo sniffs. "You will keep an eye on Frodo?"

     

    "You have my word."

     

    (Bagginshield, in which King Thorin II is unknowingly the father to the plant-grown dwobbit Frodo Baggins. After years away from one another, Thorin returns at an ageing Bilbo's bidding to go after Frodo on his journey to destroy the One Ring and see that he is safe and brought home.)

    Summary

    In a mountain, standing like a knife against the eastern sky, there lived a hobbit.

    Not a cold, draughty crypt of a mountain, filled with cries of the dead and pain of the living, nor yet a new-born colony, striking out its place in the world. It was Erebor, and Bilbo Baggins had made the choice to remain six months prior, after the Battle of the Five Armies had solidified the Kingdom as one to be respected once more.

    Something in his pocket began to stir.

    Or: Bilbo Baggins discovers The One Ring. Everyone has a bad time.

Please do not be put off by the archive warnings on the others as it is NOT WHAT YOU THINK. I highly reccomend reading at least CYTM first.)
