    Summary

    He wasn’t dead.
    Or, if he was, the halls of his fathers were gone completely, replaced with this strange afterlife.
    But he doubted it.
    And if he wasn’t dead, and this was the quest once more… he had to make sure nothing changed.
    In battle, two simple seconds could be the difference between life and death, and they had narrowly escaped death far too many times.

    Or:
    After dying on Ravenhill, Thorin gets sent back in time to the start of the quest, and is determined to do things right.

    Summary

    When Thorin dies in Bilbo's arms, Bilbo decides to retreat back to the Shire and leave his new life behind in the hopes of pretending none of this ever happened. Unfortunately, Bilbo is pregnant, and he never got around to telling anyone in the chaos of Thorin's madness. He finds that the Shire is far different than he remembers, or perhaps he has changed more than he thought, and raising a baby on his own while he has become something of a pariah is harder than he expected. Then, one day, very familiar dwarves show up on his doorstep, and reveal that Thorin was never actually dead. Now Bilbo is forced to come to terms with potentially reuniting with a love he thought he'd lost with a toddler who has no idea he even has another father. For the third time in a handful of years, Bilbo must decide whether or not to make the long journey across the horizon, and if he goes, is he willing to fight to regain what he lost?

    Summary

    History is written by chroniclers. Legends are woven by minstrels. Gossip is spread by neighbors, courtiers, and tavern regulars.

    The Shire, Rivendell, Mirkwood, the people of Lake-town, and Erebor all tell the same story differently.

    All that's left is to decide which of it is actually the truth. Well, in one way or another...

    Summary

    Author Summary: In order to stay in Erebor, Bilbo must be adopted into a dwarven family, but not every dwarf is keen on that idea. Oh, but not because they're xenophobic, quite the opposite: Everyone wants to claim their favorite hobbit burglar as their brother! He should have known nothing with dwarves would ever be easy.

    Narrator Summary: Wherein Bilbo must become a Dwarf before he can betroth a Dwarf ;)
