Summary
Bilbo wondered for a moment whether his soft old heart would give in at the sight of this increased suffering and woe. More than ever the two princes looked like children, pouting and miserable.
Then the wind changed direction slightly and he caught again the briny smell of his bedroll, strapped to his pack, and he realized that his heart was strong yet.
In which Hobbits know the correct serving temperature of any dish (including revenge).

Summary
It’s not that Belle doesn’t love Adam. It’s not even the transformation - it was surprising, but she wouldn’t say that the Beast becoming a handsome prince was a bad surprise. In many ways it made the entire situation much easier; but in others, it was somehow more complicated.
A Beast might live a life filled with wonder and whimsy, but most decent Princes won’t. And despite the odd temper tantrum, Adam was a good Prince. He had learned the harsh lesson imposed upon him, as intended.
It was all wonderful, really. It was amazing to see the changes come to the surrounding towns, left without central leadership for so long, without development, or infrastructure, or expanding trade. Even Belle would have been hard pressed to dismiss them as quaint and provincial now, blossoming as they were.
She wanted it to be enough.
It wasn’t.

Summary
Buck tells Maddie he’s moving to El Paso with Eddie. Maddie has a chat with Eddie about it.
“You can’t take Buck with you to Texas,” Maddie says, and she watches whatever amusement Eddie's held at her surprise visit fall off his face.
“He’s a grown adult, Maddie. I can’t force him to do anything. You of all people—”
“Don’t play cute with me, Eddie. You know you,” of all people, she wants to say but doesn’t, “could make him stay in LA.”
Eddie scoffs. “With you?”
“With his family.”

Summary
The end of the journey to retake Erebor is harrowing. As Bilbo Baggins surveys the wreckage of what was once a group of the best friends he ever had, he wonders if it was all worth it. And then he wakes up.
And wakes up.
And wakes up.
Caught in a cycle that centers on just a few months - those spent traveling with the Company of Thorin Oakenshield - Bilbo has to figure out how to stop time from resetting, and maybe, if he's very, very lucky, manage to change a few things for the better along the way.

Summary
Merlin simply doesn't know better.
He doesn't know he's only meant to place Arthur's shirts over his head, not fondly adjust collars and straighten seams. He doesn't know how much he'd be able to delegate to grooms and seamstresses and laundresses and kitchen girls if only he tried, instead of doing every possible task himself. And he doesn't know that it is utterly unprecedented for a manservant to own a horse.
Arthur isn't great at expressing himself, Merlin is great at horses.Bookmarked by TheGreatPuzzle
