    Summary

    While visiting the outskirts of Mirkwood on business, Thorin meets a white stag determined to ruin his life. Or so it seems. Young and inexperienced, Thorin may yet be the prince who succeeds in laying bare the white stag's secret.

    Inspired in part by a The Desolation Of Smaug deleted scene, in which Thranduil projects himself as a white stag, and appears in that form to Thorin. Story takes place both pre-Smaug and post-Smaug.

    Summary

    It starts with a quiet longing in his soul, a desperate plea for something he can’t name. Then, his chest aches, and the slow pump of his heart is plagued by sharp stings. His vision soon gets shaky. It teeters on a seeing seesaw, going from perfect clarity to an abstract painting.

    It’s not too long before he loses himself to sleep.

    Oh? Voldemort? He's just developed an obsession. It’s nothing new.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins had walked this earth a total of eight times in his past. He did remember them all, in some form or another, though he could rarely recall their names or faces, or very much detail about their lives at all. He always remembered their deaths, though. And he always remembered how it was someone – a well-meaning wizard, for instance – that had shown up and enticed or blackmailed him away from his home and family to go off and die for the good of the world.

    Much like what was happening now.

    Or: How the dragon soul of Bilbo Baggins made a deal with Manwë and can't seem to escape the consequences, and Thorin Oakenshield looks far too much like one of Bilbo's dead husbands.

    Summary

    In the years since Bilbo left Erebor, he has lost his respectability, gained a nephew, and gotten on with life at Bag End.

    He'd left aside adventure for the comforts and peace of his little Hobbit hole, and for the love of a child who needed him. Though perhaps, adventures can yet find him.

    Summary

    Fíli lived his life by an old dwarven proverb: when a fool drops a treasure, a wise man picks it up (it sounded better in the original khuzdul).

    Bella Baggins never quite fit in the Shire. Perhaps she was made for the mountains, instead.
