    Summary

    Unknown to Middle-earth, except for the Elves and Wizards, Hobbits and Orcs were sister races. Both were created by Melkor; the Orcs were perfect soldiers, and the Hobbits were spies, creatures who could walk in the light and required blood to stay healthy. But after the fall of Sauron, the Hobbits resolved to make peace with the other races and leave their past behind. They founded the Shire, promising protection from the Elves in exchange for never drinking blood or attacking other peoples. But after several generations, almost all of Middle-earth forgot that the Hobbits were Melkor's creation, and Men desired the Shire, so they attacked. The Elves broke their promises and did not come to their aid, the Dwarves ignored the Hobbits' existence, considering them insignificant, and the Wizards were unaware of their existence. The Hobbits held fast to their promises and did not attack Men, knowing they could not fight the Elves, who would destroy them if they learned they had broken their pact. And they had to watch Men slaughter their people like animals, until Azog appeared with an army of Orcs. And the Alliance of Hobbits and Orcs began, completely changing the Quest for Erebor and the return of Sauron.

    Summary

    Belba, barely of age, is living but just barely. Her father is fading after the loss of her mother, she is grieving her loss, and the next before it comes, her grandfather is on his deathbed, and in the midst of all this, she is handed the position of Thainship and the secrets that are held within it.

    As a young adult already laden with the burdens of the family name, she is quick to want to run from it all. However, with her Baggins rationality and Tookish bravery, running is not an option. She can only summon up all her courage and charge forward with the same attitude her mother had taught her.

    After all, sometimes there is no better cure for the heart than a new adventure with those you love.

    Summary

    Laying on his death bed, in the last homely home of the elves, the Valar visit Bilbo. Something went wrong, Frodo and Sam failed their task. Bilbo has been charged with going back, back to the very beginning. He is being sent back to his twenty fifth year of age.

    OR

    Bilbo: dies, time-travels, becomes Mandos’ favorite, pranks half of Rivendell, turns pirate, saves the Nazgûl, and learns combat from Glorfindel.
    Gandalf: “What do you mean Belladonna isn’t dead?”
    Thorin: “Why is our hobbit terrifying and why is that attractive?”
    Nori: “Honey, I’m home!”

    A fix-it where Bilbo is competent and everyone else is confused.

    Summary

    After a devastating winter, that took the lives of many Durin's Folk, The Dwarrow of The Blue Mountains forge a treaty with The Hobbits of The Shire ... food in exchange for increased protection. And if an arranged marriage between their King, Thrain, and one of the grandchildren of The Shire's Thain, is required to seal the deal, then the Dwarf-king will do what it takes.

    However, crown-prince Thorin Oakenshield isn't totally convinced that the Hobbits can be trusted and he sets out to find the truth behind this so-called, 'Good-Will Treaty', and the miserable mite of a Hobbit that would agree to a loveless marriage.

    Come what may, Thorin is determined to find out what tricks and deceptions this ... Bilbo Baggins has up his sleeve.

    Summary

    In a land far northwest of Middle-earth, the Shire settled with the greenest hill in all of Arda. The inlands and uphills are inhabited by small creatures called Hobbits. They are peaceful folks, and the other people of Middle-earth have known them for the peace and bliss they have lived in for hundreds of years.

    Hobbits are not fighters. They are healers, crafters, caregivers, gardeners, cooks, and more and are not suited for impromptu frontline combat like the rest of the races of Middle-earth. They are simple creatures with simple desires in life. Change has been long unwelcome in the Shire, for they believe that things don't need to change and things are perfect the way they are and have been for hundreds of years. Shire folks strive to achieve peace. Peace makes things simple.

    And yet an ancient whisper travels the wind. A tale foretold that when the fatherlands are in need of a helping hand, the once hidden race will come out of their hills and stand forth finally to assist with their gifts and finish what others had failed to do.

    What these gifts are, nobody knows. Not yet at least.

    But it is close to knowing. So close indeed.

    Summary

    Inspired by the storytelling of the great Pete Seeger, The Old Took is a furry-footed, banjo-playing Pied Piper who leads a troupe of willing grandchildren in merry tales of magic and warning. But rather than caution him, they inspire young Bilbo to explore the forest further, seeking out magical beings for himself.

    Written for prompt #17 - The Woods for the 2025 Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang festival, with inspiring and delightful art from sublimpingvin. Thank you so much to all the mods and participants for a lovely time!

    Summary

    In writing a story about Gerontius Took singing songs to all of his grandchildren I did a lot of work plotting out all of his many descendants. It was so interesting and useful that I thought I'd post it as a reference work for others. Then I had to go the extra mile and color code it all in nested lists...👀

    Summary

    Orthor, brother of the trees, younger twin to Legolas Greenleaf, was transported to our Earth, over 200 years ago, and forced to live in a place unfamiliar to him, whether by a joke of the Valar or otherwise.

    When he's transported back to Middle Earth, many years have passed, and the attitudes to his people have changed.

    What else has changed, and what can the rebellious twin of Legolas Greenleaf do to save the world he knew when he stumbles across Bilbo Baggins on the night of an Unexpected Party?

    ( OC Insert, Orthor twin brother of Legolas Greenleaf, presumed dead and now must simply go with the flow, even if that flow is with Thorin Oakenshield and his shitty attitudes towards him )

    I post when my brain lets me!

    Who could even guess how hobbits show their ardent devotion--a full tea service, probably. Or doily-making.

    Summary

    "I don't understand?"

    "I think I made my offer quite clear, have I not, Miss Baggins? One night and you will have your 150 000 dollars. That is what I offer. Nothing more, nothing less."

    "How can you even suggest something like that. Who do you take me for?"

    "I take you for a woman who is desperate and cunning enough to understand what is right and what is wrong."

    "You are disgusting!"

    "So you are refusing my offer?"

    "Go to Hell!"

    In an attempt to save her sister, Billana Baggins has to accept an offer that goes against everything she believes. Thorin Durin never taught that a single night could drive him to an obsession that would be his undoing.

    Summary

    The Watchful Peace is at last coming to an end, Elrond is foster-father one last time, and Mithrandir has begun to poke destiny with his stick. This story follows "A Flame Rekindled" and will cover the action of the Hobbit. It also marks my official point of canon divergence, as Ingalir has no intention of letting Thorin fall.
