    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…
