    Summary

    When Thomas Lawrence came by the papal apartments that evening, he came, unsurprisingly, with a bundle of papers under his arm.

    Vincent tried on and discarded four separate teasing comments about it, but didn’t get to decide on one before Thomas silently handed them over, and he realized they were newspapers, opened and refolded over the weekly comics, his favorite. Three of them, one for each week he’d been away.

    Ah, he thought, with the feeling of a sudden hard deceleration in his chest, the press it put on his heart. Ah. All right then.

    Summary

    ‘Married?’ he said quietly, trying to keep breathing.

     

    ‘Well, Bilbo dear, you do have a ring on your finger. We assumed you were just waiting for things to settle down before you brought her home. Or him, I suppose,’ his aunt replied.

     

    Before Bilbo leaves Erebor for good, Thorin Oakenshield presents him with a ring - a token of his friendship and regard, nothing more.

    Unfortunately, that's not how the rest of Middle-earth sees it and if Bilbo indulges, well; he doubts he'll be seeing Thorin again for a long time, if ever. Their parting was hardly auspicious.

    But Bilbo never thought that Thorin would truly come and visit him in the Shire, and now he's got to keep the knowledge of their supposed marriage a secret from him. The other hobbits don't really make that very easy.
