Summary
The Company of Thorin Oakenshield continues their perilous journey eastward, accompanied by El’úvian, an elf whose fate is now bound to theirs. Having left the safety of Beorn’s hall, they venture into the dark and treacherous depths of Mirkwood. The forest tests their endurance with illusions, hunger, and despair, until they are captured by the Woodland Elves and brought before their king, Thranduil. Tensions rise between Thorin and the Elvenking, while El’úvian herself struggles with the weight of being among her kin yet not truly belonging, her sharp exchanges with Thranduil leaving their bond strained.
Through wit and daring, the Company escapes in barrels down the Forest River, finally reaching the Lake-town of Esgaroth. Though weary, they are welcomed by the townsfolk, who place their hopes in Thorin’s quest to reclaim Erebor. It is here that El’úvian’s presence grows more vital, as she tends to the wounded and lends quiet strength to the weary travelers. But the shadow of the dragon still looms, and the journey to the Lonely Mountain is far from over.

Summary
She’s read the books. Watched the films. She knows how this story ends. Burdened with memories of a future that hasn’t happened yet, Katherine tries to keep her head down and her heart guarded, swearing not to interfere. But nothing could prepare her for the real Middle-earth—nor for the people she'd come to care for. Especially not the brave, infuriating dwarf prince who makes her forget that she's supposed to be careful in the first place.
When a growing darkness begins to take notice of her and threatens to hunt her down, the choices become clear: run, or become something more dangerous than the story ever allowed.
(or: a story about grief, slaying a dragon, and falling in love when you're not sure you were meant to exist here at all)
Begins PRE-The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and eventually takes place during

Summary
Aevan has spent her life on the edge—angry at a world that abandoned her, grieving the mother she lost, and fiercely protective of the only family she has left: Bilbo Baggins. When she joins a company of dwarves on a quest to reclaim a lost kingdom, she must confront not only the dangers of trolls, dragons, and dark forests, but also the storm inside her—a tempest of anger, fear, and mistrust.
Among warriors and wanderers, she finds an unlikely foil in Fíli, whose charm and quiet honor both frustrate and intrigue her. As danger forces them to rely on one another, their slow connection grows, challenging Aevan to temper her wrath and open her heart. In a world of gold and fire, she must learn that strength is not just in steel, but in forgiveness, trust, and the courage to let go.

Summary
What begins as Ori only intending to share a bed roll with Fíli for warmth one night, eventually turns into the acquaintances becoming curious about each other after, then falling in love over the course of the quest despite others wishing they would just leave each other be.
Meanwhile, Thorin is doing his best to be a good example for his eldest sister-son and not act on the urge to let himself be wrapped around one specific Hobbit Omega's fingers. However, he fails spectacularly.
The rest, as some say, is history.

Summary
A knocking on the door made her look up from the book she was reading.
A guest? At this hour?
Slowly the small Hobbit stood up to answer the door.
„Dwalin, at your service.“ A dwarf. A dwarf on her doorstep.
A dwarf she knew a long time ago. A dwarf who died in battle, proudly swinging his weapon.
With a blank stare she scanned the dwarf.
‚Oh Yavanna, how cruel of you‘
Another moment the hobbit stood in the half open door, slowly realizing what was happening. In her empty eyes a spark lit up, after a long and cold winter. A single teardrop ran down her cheek, breaking her numbness.
„You are alive?“ She wispered under her breath.
Before Dwalin could react the small hobbit jumped at him, hugging the big warrior and sobbing at his chest.A retelling of the hobbit
This is my story of the hobbit and their journey to reclaim the lonely mountain.

Summary
“It would be a fair share of Thrors horde, your Grace," Gandalf nodded sincerely, nudging Thorin shut when he grunted his displeasure at the prospect. "Lord Balin here has drawn up the contract -"
"Five percent of the horde seems rather miniscule considering the Crown Prince will be taking a large part of my army to almost certain death, facing a Firedrake!" The Maharajah of Rhun-Agar waved his arms dismissively. "I do not expect most of my men to return. And you would be marrying one of my own daughters!"
What a mess he was in. Thorin needed an army, since Dain refused to help. And according to his own grandfathers law, he would need a bride and an heir in order to rule as true King under the Mountain. And he would be damned if he reclaimed Erebor only to require a bunch of self appointed noble-dwarves as his council!
This was Gandalf’s solution, and this army would certainly be precisely what he needed.
Now all he had to do was marry the daughter of the King of Rhun-Agar, stick a baby in her, slay a dragon and kill the the orc filth chasing after him.Easy right…?

Summary
“The Company of Thorin Oakensheild…”it read across the top. She ran her thumb over the jet black ink. A gleam of hope flickered within and that feeling surprised her. Was she really going to do this?
With a sharp intake of breath, Bilbo laid out the contract and picked up the quill. She could hear it as loud as the morning birdsong, or the nervous thudding of her own heart--the ever alluring call to adventure.My version of the Hobbit.

Summary
Elira never expected her quiet life above a bookstore in Oxford to turn into something out of a myth. But one rainy evening, everything changes.
Dragged into a world that shouldn’t exist outside the pages of books and old legends, Elira suddenly finds herself knee-deep in chaos she absolutely did not sign up for.
Armed with more knowledge than she ever wanted and zero skills to go with it, no combat training or what so ever, nothing remotely useful, she’s now has to make decisions that could alter everything. Why her? She has no idea. Honestly, out of everyone, she considers herself the worst possible choice.

“I'll stay with you. You took that arrow for me, I'll stay here."
Of course. The arrow. He just felt obliged to stay here because he saw you took the arrow for him. The pain almost made you forget you had a gaping wound on your leg.
Imagine taking an arrow for Kili while escaping the Woodland Realm, believing he liked Tauriel—only for him to prove that those thoughts were never true.

While the world sees them as harmless and quaint, the Dúnedain Rangers secretly protect them, knowing that hobbits are not only rare but hold a deep and gentle power that the shadow fears.

Summary
The inhabitants of Dale hold a celebration to mark the fall of Smaug, and invite the dwarves of Erebor, the elves of Mirkwood, and the elves of Rivendell to show up unexpectedly at the celebration. There, the three unlikely meet once more and get down to gossiping. While Yun introduces her and Thorin’s 11-month-old son. This fanfic is a gift to S_Flovios, who has written an incredibly wonderful fanfic, “ The Bell Tolls for Thee.” This is a gift for our dear author for their wonderful work. Please note that this is my first fanfic I wrote. All of the characters and the settings of Middle Earth belong to Tolkien, and Yun belongs to S_Flovios. The only character I have created is the nameless little prince. I hope you enjoy this little moment that I have conjured in my mind. If you find any mistakes, please share; constructive criticism is also appreciated. Have a good reading.
