Summary
“I’ve been thinking about dying.” The words leave him before he realises how insane they sound. Look at him; the descendant of a long line of warriors, strong and powerful, rulers who fought for his people. Look at him; wallowing in bed, dreaming of dying. Perhaps Erebor is better out of his hands.
Bilbo, to his credit, looks significantly less bewildered than Thorin had expected him to. Worried, more so, but not totally bewildered. He’s changed, Thorin thinks. The old Bilbo would have probably said alright then and found a polite way to end the conversation. Instead, this one just says, “Okay.”
(back in the shire, post-battle. recovery is hard. thorin is still learning how to handle it.)

I See Fire by Lumeleo

Summary
For all that fire lends Gimli's hair and beard a lovely glow, it pains Legolas to see the same fire consume so much of what grows and lives. However, he is somewhat thoughtless in his words when he voices this, leading to Gimli drawing entirely the wrong conclusions. Legolas may need something more than mere words to make up for his error.
Even next to the forges of Erebor, nothing warms him quite like Gimli's smile.

Summary
“The door remained hidden and the air was cold, lapping at him like waves in the distant seas of songs. The shadow enveloped him with a father’s tenderness. The world was slowly waking up. He was soaked to the bone, and the sun shone weakly upon his brow. Thorin Oakenshield was alive.”
Against all odds, Thorin survives the Battle of the Five Armies. Bilbo, grappling with his feelings, decides to stay in Erebor. But when the magical ring he’s been keeping secret starts whispering to him in the night, Bilbo knows he must heed its call. Thorin follows him, haunted by a strange vision. A second journey, a kingdom’s rebirth and many terrible truths await them under the mountain…

Summary
“Where am I?” he mutters. Adrenaline is flooding through his body. His heart is beating so terribly that he can feel it inside his chest. His entire body has broken out in a cold sweat. And somehow, despite it all, his spidey-sense is dead silent. What does it know that the rest of his body doesn’t?
“Our apartment,” says the man. He’s standing now. Peter didn’t notice when he got to his feet. “Can you tell me who you are, sweetheart?”
Peter laughs, incredulous. He’s not exactly sure what he’s laughing at. “Peter,” he says. “Of course, I know who I am.”
“Okay,” the man says, sounding just as concerned and careful as before. “But you don't know who I am?”
Or: Peter gets amnesia, wiping out the last 5 years of his life. But really, how much can change in five years?

Summary
“–Come Durin’s Day, the Mountain will host great entertainments, games, and feasting in your name and in the names of the other thirteen of the Company. Your path through all of Arda shall be made smooth to ensure your welcome in our lands, Bilbo Baggins. I bring this summons as it was sent from the Throne of Thorin, King Under the Mountain.”
Bilbo’s heart, racing as it had been from this thrilling invitation, seemed to trip over itself at the name. “Thorin?” he whispered, and he stepped forward without thinking.
--
Or: Bilbo learns that his story isn’t actually a tragedy, and that happy endings still take a bit of luck.

Summary
Of all the things Bilbo was warned about that night the Company barged into his home—a hard journey east, the promise that there was no promise of him returning, the threat of a dragon, of fire, of incineration—war was not one of them.
And truthfully, he’d rather face Smaug all over again, talk his riddles and spin his flattery as he danced around scythe-hooked claws and bellows of dragon breath, than suit up for battle.
War is no place for a hobbit.

Summary
Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.
-----
“You’re being ridiculous.”Crowley very nearly falls over.
Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—
“What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.

Summary
After years of traveling to Erebor to celebrate the New Year with his dwarven friends, Bilbo Baggins decides that the time has come to stay in the Shire. He has certain familial obligations that have gone unaddressed for too long. Specifically, an orphaned nephew who needs him. Much as he will miss the Durin's Day celebrations, and a certain dwarf in particular, his travels must end. Fortunately, that does not preclude others from traveling to visit him.

Summary
In which the God of Death falls in love, improvises a kidnapping, gets spun in circles by the God of Spring, goes to bits, and nearly takes the whole world with him on the way down. He'd much rather have all hell break loose, really — at least that would give him a home-ground advantage.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

Bilbo liked Erebor, he really did. Even if everyone seemed convinced he was going to leave.
In which soil causes international incidents, Thorin is over-dramatic, and dwarves are rubbish at keeping secrets. Oh, and they build a garden. Eventually.

Summary
When Helm's Deep falls to the forces of Isengard before Gandalf can return, Legolas thinks he knows what to expect of the orcs' victorious tortures; he is an Elf of Mirkwood, after all. But neither he, nor Saruman's forces, were prepared for his reaction when they turn their whips on Gimli in his stead.

Summary
A reprise in three acts of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth as enacted by Legolas and Gimli in the Undying Lands; or, a reflection on how being less wise (and more dangerous) than other elves can serve one well, when one cannot bear to abide by the accepted rules of the world. Whoever said that the Gift of Men had to be a Doom of Dwarves, too?
