Summary
Six months after the company has reclaimed the misty mountain, the halls of Erebor, once again, thrum with life, laughter and the steady rhythm of Dwarven trade. It is well over-due that Thorin Oakenshield, Son of Thrór, Son of Thráin, King under the Mountain, confronts an injury he received during the Battle of the Five Armies. One he has done his best to put to the back of his mind.
Namely, the wound to his foot.
Despite Óin’s, and the rest of the company’s, best efforts, Thorin refuses to use the cane that will ease his pain and prevent further damage. It will take an equally stubborn hobbit to convince him otherwise and to reveal that some battles are best not fought alone.
In doing so, uncomfortable truths are laid bare and moments of quiet longing surface. Amid Erebor’s rebuilding is a new chance for them to heal and begin building a future in which love, slowly and patiently, is ready to grow.

Summary
5 times the Company tries to convince Bilbo not to cut his hair and 1 time they succeed ><
For a dwarf, talking about hair is very taboo, something you only discuss with family or a close lover. Cutting a dwarf's hair communicates great grief or unspeakable shame. The Company despairs as they can't figure out why Bilbo keeps cutting his beautiful hair, when they've told him countless times his past doesn't matter to them.

Summary
As the shadow of Sauron lengthens at the twilight of the Second Age, the Elven realms forge alliances in the oldest way: through marriage. Círdan the Shipwright pledges his children to secure the future - his daughter Meríliel (main OC) to the legendary Glorfindel, and his son to Thranduil's line. But duty cannot command the heart. Meríliel finds herself drawn to Prince Legolas, and their choices will echo through centuries, haunted by pride, loyalty and tragedy.
This tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and redemption is woven into Tolkien's canon and Jackson’s movies while expanding cultural and linguistic aspects. Grounded in Tolkien's works with original lore to bridge events, the story explores the very same milestones sung about in the Third Age, the ones we only get a glimpse of in the movies.
Characters mature, change, and their arcs develop within an infuriating slow burn that tests their love and loyalty, as well as customs and traditions; this isn't just about memories shaping attitudes, but about WHAT actually happened, and WHEN.
👉 Current update: The War of the Last Alliance was INSANE; we've just started with the Third Age, it’s filled with elflings and Legolas sports tattoos. 😮💨🤭

Summary
“A typical mastery begins with a master, and an apprentice, and a contract. In a narrow field with few masters however, one must forge their own way. The mastery I seek has few masters, and fewer to walk the path. Luckily, Spoons walks beside me, and while he seeks a different mastery to mine, our paths are mirrored to each other. I find myself encouraged therefore that I am able to take a record for any who walk this path in the coming days.”
—Excerpt from “The Thief's Key, Volume One, as scribed for the recipience of Inkheart, with all notations and supplementary materials preserved.Nori, a dwarrow thief determined to do so honorably, meets Bilbo, orphaned and waiting for a chance to follow in his mother’s footsteps. This lays a new path for the weaving of the world.
Meanwhile the Song of Arda sung by Eru overlaid an old one. In the absence of the Ainu, busy in Valinor and ignoring Middle Earth, those that remained discover that old Songs can grow much louder in the absence of attention.
The Void always held more than Ungoliant. The world was always much bigger than the Ainu’s songs and tapestries.

Summary
Rose isn't quite sure who she is. She is sure she used to know but having died and woken up on Arda too many times to count is bad for her memory. Unfortunately these are not the only memories she has lost. She also doesn't remember anything that happened to the body she now has before she possessed it. What she does remember is the Dwarves being rude to her and Bilbo being one of her few friends in a really scary place. Oh and the Valar who want her to help Bilbo destroy the One Ring. They are decidedly not helpful. And she keeps failing at the task. On her latest life she is separated from her traveling companions and ends up in Ered Luin. She has given up on trying to remember her true identity but that might have been a mistake as might be agreeing to be taken to Thorin's Halls.
Fili would like it if his Uncle would just come back already and rule his own damn kingdom. He would also like it if there were a few less people creating problems. It would be manageable but then one of the Mountain's Trading Companies comes back with a seemingly boring and useless Hobbit in tow and suddenly he has even more problems. And Kili refuses to help.
Most of this is rated T but there are some mature themes.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins’ letter was different from all the others Thorin had received at that time.
First, Bilbo actually got his name right. Very little people cared to learn Thorin’s name those days, so most of his packages were sent as “to the blacksmith in the woods”. He used to have a name, a title and a kingdom. And then, after the dragon fire, all was left were ashes, a hunted kingless kingdom and the bitter taste of defeat.
Yet, somehow as if a miracle, there it was: “To Mister Thorin, Blacksmith from Erebor”.
⊹˙⋆˙⊹
But what shall they do, when a long awaited prophecy finally comes? When the war is sure, when the dragon wakes up, will love be enough?
Duty calls, Erebor must be saved.

Alternative Meeting AU where Blacksmith Thorin meets the most curious hobbit by pure luck. And they fall in love with each line of their letters to each other.

Summary
One decade was long enough living with so many ghosts.
Bilbo Baggins needed closure and Thorin Oakenshield was going to give it to him. Now, if only he could find where in Yavannah's name they'd put that awful, stubborn dwarf. A sacred tomb shouldn't be this hard to find!
He just wanted to leave him a gift for Yule. And maybe... just maybe, FINALLY, tell him he loved him.

Summary
‘Where the sun meets the earth, that’s where I’ll find you. Where the set path fades, and it’s just us two… Where we’ll choose our own fate and make it come true. My Horizon. My Heart. My Own. When you’re with me…I’m home.’
Bilbo Baggins spent his life avoiding destiny—until it arrived at his doorstep in the form of his Heartsong. Bound by an unspoken bond and a love neither dared to name, Bilbo couldn’t deny that Thorin Oakenshield was the one he was destined to find…and determined to save.

Summary

Summary
The Took family’s collective sense of uncanny rebellion, adventure, curiosity, and overall lack of respectability aren’t the only reasons the rest of the Shire deemed them menaces. The family was never banished from the area, as the other Hobbits knew they were no match for the freaks of nature.
Every generation of Took children, regardless of their other parent, have been born with something different. Something that the other Hobbits whisper about behind their hands when the clan passes. Something that has gotten them rude insults, glares, and even physical attacks.
The Took clan Hobbits all have wings. And Bilbo “Mad Hobbit” Took is no exception.
AKA, Bilbo gives no fucks and is way more powerful than his travelling companions could ever imagine.

Summary
Though not well known outside of the Shire, it has long since been the case that Hobbits cannot survive the loss of their soulmates once they choose to let the bond form, their grief Withering them away only days or weeks after their other half dies. Most Shire-folk refuse to take the risk, finding love elsewhere, but if this quest has proven anything, it's that Bilbo is not like most Shire-folk.
The battle is over, and Thorin is not dead. Bilbo seems to be Withering anyway.
.
Óin can't help but chuckle when he enters the healing halls to find Bilbo asleep next to Thorin. It's hardly the first time their Hobbit has found his way to Thorin's side since they moved from the battlefield to the mountain, supporting his One as Thorin slumbered on.
It was not the first time he'd found Bilbo sleeping by Thorin's side.
It was the first time Bilbo didn't wake.

Summary
With mounting worries of wolf and orc attacks in The Shire, the Thain calls upon an old agreement with Durin’s Folk of old— a marriage of convenience. Bilbo Baggins, the Thain’s grandson and Master of Bag End, represents the hobbits of The Shire while Thorin II Oakenshield, Heir Prince Under the Mountain, represents the dwarves of Erebor. Both must abide by this ancient agreement with the pressure of their families and for the betterment of their people.
Bilbo and Thorin will enter the courting of both cultures— Thorin will travel to the Shire for nine months, and then Bilbo to Erebor for nine months. All hope everything goes well...
