    Summary

    “Do you think she realizes I have neither a beard nor any axes?” Bilbo said idly. “I mean, of course I know it is an idiomatic phrase, but it is rather funny when you think about it.”

    “You have a beard and axes of the spirit,” Thorin said firmly.

    ---
    Thorin has always been happy to see Bilbo adopt dwarfish ways, until it is pointed out to him that Bilbo, not actually being a dwarf, might be happier in their marriage if Thorin were to make a bit of effort to adopt some hobbitish ways in turn.

     

    Naturally, Thorin goes about this in a sensible and moderate manner.

    Summary

    Bilbo had a sudden, cheerful realization. “Oh, my, this must mean you’ve already dealt with the problem of the dragon without me!”

    Bofur frowned. “Bilbo, no–”

    “Sorry, you haven’t dealt with the dragon?”

    Summary

    [“Here.” The boy holds out a cigarette for him. “You look like you need it.”

    Sokka takes it with a grateful smile and is just about to get his lighter when the boy holds out his finger with a small flame flickering above it.

    “Oh.” He brings the tip of his cigarette above the flame to light it. “Thanks.”

    “No problem.” The boy jerks his head back towards the porch, a clear invitation for Sokka to join him, then he turns around and walks back to the bench. Sokka follows him without a word.]

    OR

    Sokka’s life slips into meaninglessness after Yue’s death. Nothing seems fun or exciting anymore, he mostly just allows himself to be dragged along with whatever his friends want to do in a desperate attempt to find something to hold onto, though it’s all mostly futile.
    Then he meets Zuko, who’s moved into Yue’s old place. Zuko, who’s interesting and strange and kind. Who doesn’t judge Sokka even when he probably should. Who maybe gets it in a way no one else around him does.
