    Summary

    Young Bilbo Baggins has a turbulent encounter with an odd creature in the snow a few years after the Fell Winter took his parents. It had been injured and seemed to be starving, and Bilbo, in a fit of Tookish foolishness, takes it in.
    As it turns out, the creature is a dwarf, but dirtier than any faunt could ever hope to be, with fingernails like claws, a bearskin over his shoulders and manners like a wild beast. His frustrating guest refuses to bathe, or sleep anywhere but the floor, growls more than he talks, and keeps his many fearsome weapons constantly within reach.
    And when the winter storms start to rage outside, Bilbo has no choice but to share his smial with this possibly mad and rather dangerous dwarf.
    Just what has he gotten himself into?

    Summary

    Thorin falls in the Battle of the Five Armies, but shortly afterwards Bilbo is confronted with a familiar face in the halls of Erebor. This by itself is alarming, and made only more so by the realisation that he is the only one who can see Thorin.

    Semi-AU as of the BotFA

    (File name for this on my computer was Ghost-Thorin. Yes, that is how good my imagination is.)

    Summary

    As Bilbo sat smoking in his empty hobbit hole, he couldn’t help but wonder – when did his life become so boring? Or better yet – when did his old life stop being enough?

    He suspected the answer to that question lay somewhere around the time when he had refused Thorin Oakenshield’s offer of marriage.

    Summary

    Bella Baggins had sought out adventure and excitement as a child: she had been Bilbo the Great, the brave explorer who searched for elves in the wood and always came home trailing mud and leaves and fireflies. She had always dreamed of the world beyond her doorstep, yearned for the day she was old enough to step outside and face it, but the sudden death of her father changed all that. Bella Baggins quite lost her heart for adventure. She settled down into the quiet life, the simple life, the life that every hobbit wanted.

    She might well have stayed there too, if it were not for Gandalf’s meddling. Now she was on some mad quest to reclaim Erebor from a dragon, armed with a letter-opener and surrounded by dwarves that called her Mr Bilbo Baggins (and she didn't intend to correct them).
