    Summary

    Bilbo could not have explained what he was thinking when he dove between Thorin and that vile creature, except that Erebor could not lose her king now.
    Not when they were so close.
    .
    Thorin could not say what Bilbo had been thinking when he’d thrown himself between Thorin and death, in part because Bilbo had yet to wake. Once he did, Thorin would be getting answers, and he would wake. Bilbo had to wake.

    No other outcome was acceptable.

    Summary

    Perhaps Love
    by John Denver

    Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm.
    It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm.
    And in those times of trouble when you are most alone,
    the memory of love will bring you home.

    Winter in Erebor has set in quickly this year, one full year after the Battle of Five Armies, and word has reached the mountain of dangerous conditions in the passes of the Misty Mountains. Unfortunately, this coincides with the late departure of Kili, Tauriel, and Bilbo from the Shire, bringing Bilbo's most precious belongings back to the mountain where he plans to make his home. A rescue party sets out from Erebor, unsure if they can reach them in time, or what they might find when they do.

    Written for the 2025 Midwinter Gift Exchange on the Bagginshield Book Club Discord Server.

    Summary

    Many perished in the battle of the five armies but one stood above all else. One of the company of Thorin Oakenshield had fallen, one that had been marked a traitor only to be proven the strongest and bravest of them all. Stricken with grief and pain, Thorin disregards the potential backlash for laying a non-dwarf to rest in Erebor and gives Bilbo an honorable dwarven funeral.

    However, when horror struck, it rattled the very stone around them. Everyone thinks that it is the result of divine retribution...but Mahal truly does love his wife and her beloved children.

    Summary

    If he pulled his sword aside and let Azog’s blade pierce his chest, Thorin could take what seconds battle-haze and fury gave him and strike true with his sword. If that was what it took to finally kill Azog, then Thorin would gladly trade Azog’s death for his life—

    And then Thorin remembered that it was not only his life that he would be trading.

    If he died here to Azog’s blade, Bilbo would die, too.

    Hobbits, like dwarves, have soul mates. Unlike dwarves, however, when one person in a soul bond dies, so do the others.

    Summary

    “–Come Durin’s Day, the Mountain will host great entertainments, games, and feasting in your name and in the names of the other thirteen of the Company. Your path through all of Arda shall be made smooth to ensure your welcome in our lands, Bilbo Baggins. I bring this summons as it was sent from the Throne of Thorin, King Under the Mountain.”

    Bilbo’s heart, racing as it had been from this thrilling invitation, seemed to trip over itself at the name. “Thorin?” he whispered, and he stepped forward without thinking.

    --

     

    Or: Bilbo learns that his story isn’t actually a tragedy, and that happy endings still take a bit of luck.
