    Summary

    “It’s got such a presence to it, even from a distance,” Bilbo says softly, and there’s a general murmur of awed agreement from the others. “Why, in all my fifty years, I never thought I’d see such a thing, and we haven’t even arrived yet!”

    Thorin’s sword hits the ground with a clatter, and Balin chokes on his pipe.

    The hobbit doesn’t look at Thorin, too busy thumping Balin on the back. Once the dwarf seems able to breathe again, he looks up, to find thirteen wide pairs of eyes fixed on him.

    “What?” he says defensively, though he’s not sure what he’s defending.

    “You’re how old?” Kíli squeaks.

    Bilbo frowns at the young dwarf. “I’m fifty years old. Well, fifty-one, come springtime. Though it is not very polite to ask someone their age so bluntly,” he tells him primly.

    Fíli makes a choked sound, and Nori lets out a vicious string of swears in Khuzdul.

    (tell everyone about birdwatching club)

    When Findekáno earns the honor of Manwë's holiest quest, naturally he asks his favorite cousin to be his questing companion. What better way to enjoy each other's company while escaping from the rising tension in Tirion?

    (the second rule of birdwatching club is to expect it to take you to the strangest places)

    Summary

    Little stories set in my own personal timeline for The Outsiders... because I wanted it. There's hurt, there's comfort, there's angst, there's gay. They're a family, and they don't leave anyone behind.

    They do, however, make questionable decisions and forget to take care of themselves.
