    Summary

    “The door remained hidden and the air was cold, lapping at him like waves in the distant seas of songs. The shadow enveloped him with a father’s tenderness. The world was slowly waking up. He was soaked to the bone, and the sun shone weakly upon his brow. Thorin Oakenshield was alive.”

    Against all odds, Thorin survives the Battle of the Five Armies. Bilbo, grappling with his feelings, decides to stay in Erebor. But when the magical ring he’s been keeping secret starts whispering to him in the night, Bilbo knows he must heed its call. Thorin follows him, haunted by a strange vision. A second journey, a kingdom’s rebirth and many terrible truths await them under the mountain…

    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

    Batman never crossed any lines, not between Bruce and the cowl, not between distance and desire, not between the man he is and the man he fears becoming.
    Those lines kept him focused. Kept him guarded. Kept everyone else at arm’s length.

    But then Superman says the one truth Bruce spent years refusing to hear, soft and devastating, and every line he’s ever drawn shatters, leaving him exposed in ways he never meant anyone to see.

     

    or where Bruce fought to keep the line between them, guarding a love he never dared to admit, and Clark just crossed it
