Summary
“It could've been her! She's been seen in Bree, and she could be here by now.”
“You think Frodo Baggins is lurking in the woods? Really?”
Sam gasped involuntarily, and almost swung around to better listen to the kids’ gossip, but their voices were already dwindling as they walked up onto the path and rejoined the party. Heart filling her head with heavy thumping, Sam slowly turned to Merry. Really, he was the perfect person to overhear such a conversation with. They’d both seen Frodo step onto the boat all those years ago. He'd watched as Sam built new life around the ditch in her soul where Frodo had once fit.
“People are saying that, are they?” She breathed.
---
After Bilbo's passing, Frodo decides she has more living to do. After spending several years healing in Valinor, she returns to the Shire.

Summary
“A typical mastery begins with a master, and an apprentice, and a contract. In a narrow field with few masters however, one must forge their own way. The mastery I seek has few masters, and fewer to walk the path. Luckily, Spoons walks beside me, and while he seeks a different mastery to mine, our paths are mirrored to each other. I find myself encouraged therefore that I am able to take a record for any who walk this path in the coming days.”
—Excerpt from “The Thief's Key, Volume One, as scribed for the recipience of Inkheart, with all notations and supplementary materials preserved.Nori, a dwarrow thief determined to do so honorably, meets Bilbo, orphaned and waiting for a chance to follow in his mother’s footsteps. This lays a new path for the weaving of the world.
Meanwhile the Song of Arda sung by Eru overlaid an old one. In the absence of the Ainu, busy in Valinor and ignoring Middle Earth, those that remained discover that old Songs can grow much louder in the absence of attention.
The Void always held more than Ungoliant. The world was always much bigger than the Ainu’s songs and tapestries.

Summary
With mounting worries of wolf and orc attacks in The Shire, the Thain calls upon an old agreement with Durin’s Folk of old— a marriage of convenience. Bilbo Baggins, the Thain’s grandson and Master of Bag End, represents the hobbits of The Shire while Thorin II Oakenshield, Heir Prince Under the Mountain, represents the dwarves of Erebor. Both must abide by this ancient agreement with the pressure of their families and for the betterment of their people.
Bilbo and Thorin will enter the courting of both cultures— Thorin will travel to the Shire for nine months, and then Bilbo to Erebor for nine months. All hope everything goes well...

Summary

Summary
Rosuanne “Ro” MacZorya never expected her twentieth birthday to lead her into Middle-earth—one year before Gandalf ever came knocking on Bilbo Baggins’ round green door. The Shire welcomes her with orchard paths, flour-dusted kitchens, and tea parties that feel almost like home.
But Ro carries a secret: she comes from the far future, from a world where magic has long since faded and Middle-earth survives only as a half-forgotten legend. Now, in a land still alive with song and shadow, the past begins to stir, voices whisper her name, and even the gentlest bird’s song may carry the weight of destiny.
Ro may have found a home in the Shire, but fate has other plans—and some stories refuse to stay forgotten.

Well, at least he can control dragons, right?

Summary
You are as much a Took as you are a Baggins, and after your parents died you forced down a side of you that...”
“And who’s fault was that?”
.
Thorin could not get the conversation out of his head, the implications, the harshness of Bilbo's tone. Bilbo never snapped, not like that, and not at Gandalf. Bilbo also almost never spoke of his parents, and with his One clearly upset, he could not drop it. He would not..

Summary
Finnick Took was an ordinary hobbit, who lived in an ordinary home, with her ordinary Uncle. They were well respected members of the community, who led quiet lives and never did anything unexpected at all.
There was a scheduled routine to their lives. Finny went to work and school, practicing her craft of carpentry. Her Uncle Bilbo worked in his garden, selling his produce in the local markets while she was away, and then they both returned to Bag End for the night. They ate dinner together before retiring to the sitting room while Finny painted and Bilbo read. And that was their lives, rinsed and repeated, happening like clockwork, sunup to sun down.
And Finny was satisfied with this.
Or so she thought.
---
Finny had been waiting for an adventure all her life. And here it was, laid out at her feet, beckoning her out into the unknown. But is she brave enough to make the march out the door?

Summary
It was a secret to anyone outside the Shire that Bungo Baggins wasn't called Bungo when he was born and isn't even a Hobbit. He was actually Frerin who, after the war in Moria, ran away from the others because he couldn't take any more war and suffering, as well as the weight of being Prince of the Dwarves. He was wounded and met Belladonna in the forest and told her his story. Belladonna invited him to come to the Shire and recover. But during his healing at the House of the Baggins Family, Frerin found peace and acceptance, and when the Baggins asked to adopt him, Frerin accepted and became Bungo Baggins. And Frerin fell in love with Belladona and when he proposed, he said that Dwarves only love once and so she was his One. And Belladona accepted his love, and loved him back with all her heart. And they married, he built the house as a courting gift for her. And they had a daughter, Bluebonnet, called Blue because of her blue eyes from the Durin Lineage. And that makes the mission completely different, especially for Fili who discovers that Bluebonnet is her One.

Summary
Almost two years after the Battle of the Five Armies, Thorin asks Bilbo to return to the mountain with the excuse of needing a "Hobbit-Dwarf Relations Advisor." What that entails, the king has no clue, but he is willing to make up a fake title and job just to get the chance to make amends with the hobbit and, in time, make his deep affections known. Unbeknownst to Thorin, Bilbo is already madly in love with him. Through a series of ridiculous cultural miscommunications, Bilbo finds himself engaged to the King Under the Mountain, while at the same time, Thorin is heartbroken that the hobbit, his heart's desire, has found love in another.
~ A subverted version of the "Bilbo is married/engaged to Thorin in the ways of dwarves and doesn't know it" trope. Inspired by the omitted information from The Hobbit that reads, "curious habit in [hobbit] weddings. They kept it (always officially and very often actually) a dead secret for years who they were going to marry, even when they knew. Then they suddenly went and got married and went off without an address for a week or two (or even longer)." ~

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
Rose isn't quite sure who she is. She is sure she used to know but having died and woken up on Arda too many times to count is bad for her memory. Unfortunately these are not the only memories she has lost. She also doesn't remember anything that happened to the body she now has before she possessed it. What she does remember is the Dwarves being rude to her and Bilbo being one of her few friends in a really scary place. Oh and the Valar who want her to help Bilbo destroy the One Ring. They are decidedly not helpful. And she keeps failing at the task. On her latest life she is separated from her traveling companions and ends up in Ered Luin. She has given up on trying to remember her true identity but that might have been a mistake as might be agreeing to be taken to Thorin's Halls.
Fili would like it if his Uncle would just come back already and rule his own damn kingdom. He would also like it if there were a few less people creating problems. It would be manageable but then one of the Mountain's Trading Companies comes back with a seemingly boring and useless Hobbit in tow and suddenly he has even more problems. And Kili refuses to help.
Most of this is rated T but there are some mature themes.

Summary
The reason they compare Hobbits to rabbits is because most of them are rabbits! With the exception of the Took family, which is made up of coyotes, all Hobbits are born with the ears and tail of an animal, and when they grow up they can transform into that animal. And obviously it was a big surprise that when Bilbo Baggins was born, he had the ears and tail of a wolf, at least they thought he was a wolf, and at the age of 6 Bilbo turned into a Warg for the first time. And that changed his life, he lived in the Shire, but he was shunned and feared, and little by little he died of loneliness. Until he saved Thorin from entering the Old Forest, and found out about the quest. Feeling alive again, he embarked on an adventure and found his companion in Thorin.
