Summary
Thorin Oakenshield is the crown prince of one of the strongest kingdoms in Middle-earth, but over the last year, the kingdom has struggled to maintain its position among the ruling powers of Middle-earth. Erebor was held under vicious siege by the dragon Smaug, who terrorised the land and wiped out the nearby human settlement of Dale. The hardship forces Erebor into a difficult position, creating no other choice but for King Thror to seek alliances with other kingdoms and races through the bonds of marriage. Will Thorin see this as his duty to his kingdom, or take another path entirely?

Summary
Nineteen years after a cautious Bilbo Baggins left his home to follow a king across a continent, the world-weary hobbit finds that he can hardly bear to be in his home for a week. He has spent almost two decades traveling across Middle-earth, chasing the elusive feeling of belonging that died with the King Under the Mountain and his heirs. As he prepares for yet another journey, Bilbo makes a painful decision to leave behind his awful, lovely golden ring. And everything changes.
A time-travel fix-it where a hardened Bilbo Baggins is offered the chance to change a tragic story, perhaps at the cost of his sanity and his life. He doesn't even hesitate.
Edit: Newly updated in April of 2025. Thank you for all the support. Your comments and kudos mean the whole world to me.

Summary
Bilbo and Thorin both think they're far too old for any of that soulmate business. They were just forgotten by their respective gods, and it's fine.
Things become a little less fine when they both start gathering things very clearly meant for someone else.

Summary
Certain events in Bilbo’s life were always destined to come to pass, but the will of Belladonna Took is not to be trifled with, and her choice may yet change the lives of many.
This is the story of how Bilbo became the kin of the Eagles of Manwë, and all that happened after.
(Original idea and prompt from Ewelock’s amazing art, eva4art's gorgeous follow-up piece, and reddresscloudysky’s excellent speculation on tumblr).

Summary
On his 88th birthday, Bilbo Baggins receives a gift without a sender, a gift which changes everything...
Bilbo has lived through the canonical Hobbit and quietly raises Frodo in Bag End, when something sends him back to the winter when his parents died. It seems he has been given a new chance at everything, but how long will his good luck last...?
Trigger Warning: Bilbo will remember uncomfortable things (character death, characted hurt, some scary situations).
Safety Net: No major character dies in his new life. If you see a character's name listed, that character will not die.
This story contains kisses and battle wounds, in no particular order. There is also background betting, card games, and pipe smoking, as well as direct transcripts from the movies (Jackson & Walsh & Boyens, 2012, 2013, 2014) and direct quotations from the book (Tolkien, 1937, 1951, 1995).
Here there be feelings - and songs.
Enjoy. 💖

Summary
In many ways, hobbits took after their Valar. Their strength, their steadfast loyalty, and their want to celebrate themselves and each other all came from the Valar who had found them and saved them as they wandered. They honored him and the abilities he granted them by having great contests and fairs to test their skills on one another and make merry.
Tulkas loved it all. He cheered them on from his home in Valinor and swore to them that he would never help any one hobbit cheat, though he made it clear that if there were ever a time when they had great need of him, he would lend them his strength. For he was their Valar and he cared for those he considered his.

Summary
The detail that had taken the most time (as small as it was), were small oak leaves. Three spanned the width of the bead, so no matter which way it was twisted one would always show.
A symbol of the strength and resilience of a king, forever embedded in this little bead, personally handcrafted by Bilbo.In which no small act of observation goes wasted, Thorin yearns like he has no other purpose, and Bilbo's act of kindness saves the line of Durin.

Summary
Hobbits are magic.
It was not an accident that hobbits are almost forgotten by the wider world, nor that they remain (almost) wholly among their own kind. They have healing magic, and through the quest, the dwarves slowly figure it out and are both impressed and horrified that Bilbo has been using his magic to help them all this time.

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." - Galadriel
In an attempt to get the Arkenstone back for Thorin, Bilbo discovers the ring he's been using is the One Ring. Seized by a need to destroy gold, especially gold with the ability to ensnare creature and king alike, he sets out alone for Mordor. Anything to forget about the love that gold cost him.
What he doesn't know is that Thorin is no longer under the thrall of gold, and is desperately racing to catch up with him to keep him safe.
They may have just started on another adventure, but this one may not end as well as their first quest.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
So, maybe running off from the Shire to walk back to the Lonely Mountain on foot had been a stupid idea.
Or: Bilbo decides he‘s sick of his life in the Shire and spontaneously bolts to head for the Lonely Mountain. Luckily, he happens upon a delegation of dwarves from the Blue Mountains he can accompany on their way to Erebor.
