Summary
After no contact for almost a decade, Thorin decides (is forced by Balin) to write to the Company’s hobbit and announce his trip to the Blue Mountains, which leads him through the Shire.
Because of reasons, he doesn’t send the letter until the day of his departure from the Lonely Mountain and thus does not know if the Burglar wants to even see him again.
But he has asked for a sign whether he is welcome in Bilbo’s home (and heart): for the hobbit to tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree atop his smial.
And now he dreads what he will find when he finally crests that last hill between Hobbiton and Bag End… -

Summary
Many years ago, a feeble lad and a future king meet in the streets of Ered Luin.
Or: When Thorin bought Nori for the night, he never thought that he would still have to explain his motives (and innocence) 45 years later, but, on second thought, he could have gone about that whole thing in a better way. But really, he actually had just wanted to sleep. No one made sound decisions after two days without rest!
(Turns out, this was one of the best choices he had ever made, though.)Series

Soon, he has to question who to trust and no choice but to delve deep into the dark and gory underworld of Ered Luin.
Or: Let’s play a game called “How long can I keep Dwalin from finding out Nori’s name?” :D

Summary
Dwalin is forced to learn that some deeds of the past will come back to haunt you, when he is caught by the very gang of smugglers he had been investigating. As things are looking rather dire for him, his life seems to lie in the hands of one wicked dwarf, whom he had last seen about forty years ago. But back then, their roles had been reversed, and the other dwarf had been the one at Dwalin’s mercy.

Summary
Dr. Strange looks at the world after Thanos and, faced with its seemingly irreparable brokenness, breaks his own oath. Tony, Stephen, and Loki go back in time for one more chance - an intentional choice, because they are each other's insurance against repeating the same mistakes. Tony wakes up shortly before the Stark Expo with the reactor's palladium core still poisoning him. Stephen wakes up with undamaged hands and a flourishing medical career. Loki wakes up in Asgard one day before Thor's coronation.
"Do I dare disturb the universe? / In a minute there is time / for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse."
[ Yet another take on that time travel fic with lots of worldbuilding, hand-wavey comic book science, political intrigue, inventing, nerding out, and a broken Tony trying to fix a broken world - but this time he's not alone. ]
