    Summary

    ”Still no luck then?”, asked Dwalin when he passed him down the hall.
    ”What do you think?”, asked Balin in return, rolling his eyes. Dwalin smirked humorlessly as he joined his brother on his path away from the king’s study.
    ”He’ll have to get over him eventually, he can’t go on like this forever.”
    Balin made a noncommittal sound in the back of his throat. It was times like these that clearly showed how much longer and better he knew their king than his younger brother did.
    “He has to face reality, as we all do”, Dwalin continued on. “Bilbo’s gone and won’t return and all we can do is try tend to our wounds. It’s what Bilbo would have wanted. That we help each other heal.”
    ”You’re right, it's what Bilbo would have wanted us to do…

    …now that he’s dead.”

    Or: I see your “Bilbo returns to the Shire thinking Thorin died” and I raise you “Bilbo returns to Erebor finding out everyone thinks HE died”!

    Summary

    When Thorin sits down with Balin after a long day of boring meetings, he’s left dumbfounded when he’s informed that everyone in the whole blasted Mountain thinks him and Bilbo are one step away from a Spring wedding. Especially when he’s never even thought of Bilbo in that way before. Now that he can’t seem to stop thinking about it, does Bilbo see him the same way?

    Summary

    Bilbo is not a pushover. He is Bilbo Baggins of Bag End, head of the Baggins-family, and son of Belladona Took and Bungo Baggins. He is proud of his family name, and a respectable Gentlehobbit! And he currently has thirteen dwarrow and a wizard in his smial... Maybe he can be a bit of a pushover at times. Also, why is The King Under the Mountain looking at him like that...?

    Or

    Gandalf decides to not be cryptid for once, and haves a proper conversation with Bilbo. Soon, our Hobbit finds himself on a daring adventure, and with thirteen overprotective dwarrow at his hands.

    Summary

    After the Battle of Five Armies Thorin and Company have a new task: rebuilding their reclaimed home. Suddenly Bilbo finds himself up to his ears in responsibility and he surprises himself with how well he can navigate negotiations with elf dignitaries, farmers in Dale, and a dwarf king who has patience for neither.

    But as Spring approaches a caravan from the Blue mountains brings something everyone had nearly forgotten: the dwarf woman Thorin promised his hand to many years ago.

    Which is fine. It's all fine. It wasn't like Bilbo was falling in love with the king or anything.

    That would be tragic.

    Summary

    Fíli and Kíli attempt to play a seemingly harmless trick on Bilbo, giving him a concoction sold by a roadsman meant to unconsciously persuade whoever drinks it to tell truths. It backfires spectacularly when Thorin partakes of Bilbo's drinking horn.

    “Here‘s the thing: we don‘t want Bilbo to leave, Thorin doesn‘t want Bilbo to leave, Mahal, not even Bilbo wants Bilbo to leave! All we need to do is make the two see that for themselves.“

    Or: The company is devastated to hear that Bilbo plans to leave Erebor in spring. With him and Thorin not talking, there‘s no real hope of ever getting him to stay at the Lonely Mountain. Unless, of course, they take matters into their own hands…

    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

    ”What kind of dream was it then?”
    ”It’s… hard to describe…”, said Thorin, hesitating, and got up from his chair to pace about the room, thinking, contemplating. “On a surface level it was… it was a good dream. Wonderful even. Or it would have been, if not for… I-…”
    ”You’re not making any sense, Thorin”, said Balin and got up from his chair, walking up to Thorin and making him halt his restless movements by putting a steady hand onto his shoulder. “Explain it to me, what did you see in the dream?”
    ”I saw… I saw the Shire. And I saw Bilbo”

    Or: Years after Bilbo left the Mountain, Thorin, who’s been hopelessly pining ever since, starts having dreams of him. While he’s dealing with dwarven court drama, the obsession with the dreams starts to consume him until he finds out they’re a lot more than what they seemed at first.

    Summary

    "Halfling" is considered an insult in the Shire. Of course, Big Folk (and dwarves) know far less than they think they do, so this fact eludes them. It especially eludes Thorin Oakenshield, so if Bilbo decides to use a Hobbit means of communicating his irritation, who can blame him?

    Summary

    The line of Durin, save for Princess Dís, is considered to be quite ugly. King Thorin and Prince Kíli are happily married though, and so it is of little consequence to them both, years after the events of the Battle of the Five Armies.

    Crown Prince Fíli, however, is another matter. He is unwed, and has been secretly pining for his best friend, Ori.

    Ori, who along with his siblings, is considered to be the height of beauty. This mattered very little to the Master Scribe, until he overhears a few unsavory dwarrow speaking ill of the line of Durin, especially Fíli in particular. Fíli, who is his best friend, and a long held secret love of his.

    Though not fond of large events, particularly balls, the youngest 'Ri decides it's finally time for him to go to one and attempt to save his best friend before it's too late.

    Summary

    Whilst he was searching his home for useful supplies his head had come up with a set theories of what was going on here:
    1.he was had actually reached the grey heaven and this was just his own version of afterlife where he as set back into his 50 year old body and the company Gandalf had talked about were the souls of his dead friends would welcome him back into their circle.
    2. (This one made him worry) He had somehow travelled back in time (or was granted a second chance and was basically reborn?) and would now be reliving the entirety of the quest that he had set off to over seventy years ago.
    Deep in his soul he could feel that he was hoping it to be the latter, even if he would never admit that.

     

    Bilbo has to to it all over again. Every beautiful thing and every horrible.
    But can he do that without loosing himself in the progress and is he able to succsessfully save the ones he once lost???

    Summary

    So the delightful Pangur-Pangur wrote this prompt on tumblr: Giggling to myself over the thought of what stern glower Thorin might wear when, much to his dismay, Bilbo’s sole and most precious tomato sapling (perhaps a gift, and left in Thorin’s care before said Hobbit departs on an extended diplomatic excursion to Dale or Mirkwood) begins to droop and wither in its terrarium.

    Just…Thorin alternating between forlorn and fiercely determined scowls while Dwalin snickers unhelpfully. Thorin taking his duty to this sprout very seriously – holding court with the terrarium on a little pedestal next to his throne so he can keep an eye on it. Thorin talking to the little furred leaves and hovering anxiously with the watering can and everyone saying, “Thorin NO.”

    Thorin sending plaintive ravens to the Shire requesting aid before Bilbo returns.

    And I decided to turn it into a fic!

    ShadowKissed by

    Fandom: The Hobbit (Jackson Movies), The Hobbit - All Media Types, The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien

    07 Nov 2016

    Summary

    When Belladonna Baggins nee Took went into labor with her son, neither she nor her husband were anticipating the complications that arose. Only the intervention of Gandalf and elves from Rivendell managed to save both Belladonna and Bilbo Baggins, pulling them back from the shadow and into life.

    But no one touches death without consequences and Bilbo Baggins was forever changed by those moments spent in the arms of the Valar.

    Raised as a sensible Baggins with that wild Took streak nurtured from the start, growing up friends with elves and a very nosy wizard, and having faced the horrors of the Fell Winter, it is a very different Bilbo Baggins that steps out his front door.

    And this is a very different adventure.
