    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    Bilbo has heard fairytales of the lost prince of the dwarves, Thorin son of Thrain, who disappeared the day Smaug attacked the Lonely Mountain. But he does not believe in fairytales until he comes across the dwarf sleeping in the depths of Erebor, and kisses him back to life.

    Now Thorin - a hundred and fifty years out of his time - has to confront a world in which his city is empty, his people scattered, his baby brother Frerin is king, two nephews he's never met are missing in action, and a war is brewing right on his doorstep.

    And as if that wasn't complicated enough he's trapped in the body of an old man and falling stupidly in love with a gossipy, grudging little hobbit.

    Summary

    “Hi,” Eddie greets the man, “My— uh, my wife and I want to look at some rings. We, uh, just eloped.”

    The guy nods wordlessly and pulls out a shoebox from under the counter, sliding it across the surface for Eddie to dig through. It doesn’t take too long to narrow down the options— he finds one that fits him, a plain silver band, almost immediately, then turns to call Chrissy over. His breath catches in his throat.

    She’s a vision, an angel in light-wash denim and white Reeboks, illuminated by the late-afternoon sun streaming through the windows, the golden rays flashing through the dusty air. She turns a Polaroid camera over in her hands, expression almost longing as she inspects it.

    “Chrissy,” he finally manages to say. She looks up, big pretty eyes on him. “Wanna come try on rings?”
