    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

    "And that’s what they were, really – gifts. Gifts for those who had seen enough, for those who had acted the unwilling witness to true evil, and who had survived.
    Oh, how wrong they were."

    Or: Middle Earth's water supply is infected by the One Ring remaining in it for so long, giving everyone supernatural abilities. What follows is disaster at the One Ring's removal, a dragon living under the Lonely Mountain, dwarves who really don't know as much as they think, and one hobbit's very interesting, and very dangerous, ability.

    This is my first ever fic! Updates whenever I've finished writing them. Tags to be added, and the rating is unlikely to change.

    Summary

    "Gandalf, of course, would say that he did not expect Thorin to use those exact words he had used, and so one could hardly blame him for being surprised and failing to intervene on time, but Bilbo insisted that Gandalf should have seen the possibility of a misunderstanding, precisely because one does not show up to a hobbit's home to whisk them away!

    Summary

    When Mahal himself offers to send Thorin back to the start of the quest to save the line of Durin, he is determined to make amends for all of the mistakes he made the first time around.

    When Bilbo wakes up in Bag End eighty years in the past, all he knows is that he has somehow been given the chance to see his beloved dwarves again and he'll be damned if he doesn't take it.

    Both dwarf and hobbit are desperate to prevent the quest from ending in tragedy, but neither will be able to do it on their own. They'll need to work together if they want to keep the entire Company alive and whole --but first they need to realize that they are not alone in their efforts, and they have to stop getting in each other's way at every turn they make.

    Hopefully, they'll learn some things this time that they failed to learn before. And maybe, just maybe, they'll find their happy ending that both have been yearning for.

    Summary

    “My birthday’s September twenty-second. We’re exactly a month apart.” Bilbo had grinned at him so widely then that Thorin barely registered the implication of what he’d said.

    “Yours has passed too,” he frowned when he realized. “We shall have to do something for next year.”

    “Next year? You’d… want me to stay through next September?” And the hope that Thorin knew Bilbo was trying to smother shone so clearly on his face that he’d wanted to throw all caution to the wind and show him exactly how close he wanted him to stay.

    AKA

    Hobbits and dwarves celebrate their birthdays differently. Chaos and confusion ensues.
