    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins led a rather peaceful life, thank you very much, until an old acquaintance decided to turn it upside down, and he found himself agreeing to take a job that’s… let’s say not exactly up his alley, and might eventually cost him a little more than his treasured cozy lifestyle. Who would have thought tutoring a slightly menacing monarch’s more than slightly overbearing nephew could prove to be such an adventure?

    Summary

    Perhaps Love
    by John Denver

    Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm.
    It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm.
    And in those times of trouble when you are most alone,
    the memory of love will bring you home.

    Winter in Erebor has set in quickly this year, one full year after the Battle of Five Armies, and word has reached the mountain of dangerous conditions in the passes of the Misty Mountains. Unfortunately, this coincides with the late departure of Kili, Tauriel, and Bilbo from the Shire, bringing Bilbo's most precious belongings back to the mountain where he plans to make his home. A rescue party sets out from Erebor, unsure if they can reach them in time, or what they might find when they do.

    Written for the 2025 Midwinter Gift Exchange on the Bagginshield Book Club Discord Server.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins of the Shire never finds love for himself, and so, to fill the quiet ache in his heart, he devotes his time to helping others find theirs. With gentle words, patient listening, and a surprising talent for mediation, he nudges romances into bloom all around him, convincing himself that watching love flourish is enough. What he does not realize, too busy tending to everyone else’s happiness, is that a certain stubborn, soft-hearted dwarf has been courting him all along.
