    Summary

    The year is T.A. 2931, ten years before the Quest for Erebor. Travelling back to Ered Luin with a small company of dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield is laid low by a poisoned wound in his shoulder. Desperate for aid, and shunned by the other races, his fellow dwarves turn to the only person willing to help: a wandering elvish healer named Ithilrian. After healing Thorin, and rather embarrassingly falling head-over-heels in love with him, she asks to become one of his travelling companions. Oblivious to the turmoil he’s stirred up within her, Thorin begrudgingly agrees; and so a long journey begins.

    Or: the story of how an elf-maid fell in love with a dwarf lord, and all the fun of a slow-burn interspecies romance (where both species are supposed to historically hate one another). This story opens a little while before The Hobbit is set, but don’t worry; we’ll find our way into movie-canon soon. Then the fun will really begin…

    Summary

    The dwarvish stories of old say the fortunes of the earth were meant to be shaken. And so they were, and so they have been, and so they will be. With a crack in the ice, a great deal of misfortune, and just a touch of something remarkable, a girl from a different time and a different world found herself on an entirely unexpected adventure. She has very little interest in shaking any fortunes save her own.

    All she wanted was to find a way home and be rid of the constant annoyance that was the Sons of Durin.

    Fate and fortune be damned.

    Summary

    "His head was on her arse. Gandalf was dead. Satan was real. Aragorn was confessing his feelings and she could feel wind on her bum cheeks. Nothing about this was okay. Could he have not given her at least three business days to prepare for this sort of thing? She wanted a nap and a bath and a big bloody glass of wine. Maybe even a wee lobotomy to scrape out the horrors she’d witnessed today."
