    Summary

    There are several things that the dwarves don't know about the hobbit that is traveling with them. Things that Bilbo is glad to let them find out for themselves along the way.

    The first is that he's prepared for anything. His mother used to quiz him about what he'd do in any situation - from relatives to trolls - and Bilbo never disappointed her with his answers. Riding a pony all day gives him plenty of time to plan for everything.

    The second is that he can throw a stone or any other small object hard enough to embed it several inches into a tree trunk. His accuracy is uncanny even by Shire standards. He's quite proud of it.

    The third is that he doesn't actually say so many proverbs when at home but it seems to annoy the dwarves so he spends time thinking up all the ones he's heard before.

    And last, hobbits scold like it is no one's business. The Dwarves he's traveling with really have no idea what will happen if they truly piss him off.

    Summary

    On the morning of the twenty-sixth of February in the year ninety-one of the Fourth Age, Dwalin, Son of Fundin, died.

    On the evening of the twenty sixth of April in the year two thousand nine hundred and forty-one of the Third Age, it became quickly apparent that death was only a minor inconvenience.

    Dwalin has another plan this time around. One that involves returning a certain piece of evil jewellery directly to sender before Sauron gains a foothold on Middle Earth. Maybe it’ll save a few people he cares about. Maybe he’ll get a little longer with his husband.

    And maybe, just maybe, he’s not the only one doing this a second time over.

    Split POV, plenty of Nwalin, Gigolas and Bagginshield.

    Summary

    In the evening before the Battle of the five armies, after Gandalf and Bilbo talked to Thranduil and Bard, the latter two stay together in Thranduil's tent. A moment of curiousity leads to unexpected intimacy.

     

    "You may touch it if you want.", he said.

    Thranduil's gaze snapped up from his beard to his eyes in surprise.

    "Touch... it? Your beard?", he repeated in a tone of disbelief that Bard had never heard in his voice before. Though he certainly did not seem repulsed by the idea.

    "Yes, if you want to.", Bard confirmed, again stepping closer.

    Summary

    Fíli had never been very good at tree climbing, and this situation made the blonde wonder if he should have tried harder. It sounded silly, but it was a fitting metaphor for trying to catch the attention of the distant Lady of Dale. Always so high above the dwarf in more ways than just the obvious one.

    Or more eloquently put: Fíli is failing fantastically at winning over Sigrid.
