    Summary

    Ringo Starr passes up his chance to join The Beatles, becoming a successful actor instead. Without a talented drummer and mediator, The Beatles never get themselves off the ground.

    Fast forward a couple years. Ringo's next film project is a biopic of Pete Best, now a respected solo artist in his own right. To get into the role, he's got to go back to his roots—to music. And who else is there to help him but George Harrison?

    Summary

    Bilbo lies dying, haunted by memories of his journey with the dwarves. The faces of Fili, Kili, and Thorin, in particular, refuse to leave his mind. His final wish is to see them once more. As his life finally fades away, he finds himself in a strange place bathed in light. There, he encounters a mysterious Elf-woman who seems to know more about his heart than he does himself. She offers him something impossible: a second chance. With a gift and a condition, she sends him back into the past, to the very place where the fate of his loved ones was once decided.

    Summary

    In which I attempt to answer the question: what if Thorin and Bilbo met before the formation of the Company? How does their first meeting change when there is no dangerous quest looming over them? (A partial AU where most of the canon events happen the same way except they are married the entire time).

    I have all ten chapters outlined and most of them will include prompts from a Year of Bagginshield. Expect updates about once a month (I hope!).

    In the bright mines of the morn"

    Summary

    Bilbo quickly makes his home in Erebor waiting for Thorin to wake. In doing so, he never knew he had set off a cataclysm of events that led him right into the throes of dwarven courting and becoming the Consort under the Mountain.

    Or

    Dwarven courting is much different than a hobbits. Bilbo soon finds that out.

    Summary

    Thorin took another step forward, and once again looked at Bilbo, who hadn't moved an inch, "So, this is our man. Tell me, Mr. Baggins, you done much fighting?"

    "Excuse me?" Bilbo was thrown, both by being referred by this stranger as his man, and by the ridiculous question. Fighting? Why, he was a respectable gentleman! Not some ruffian who was prone to getting into scraps.

    "Revolver? Rifle? What's your weapon of choice?" Thorin probed, his voice was rich and sonorous, but tinged with a bit of amusement that rankled at Bilbo's pride.

    "Well, I'm a deft hand at whist, if you must know, but I fail to see why that's relevant." Bilbo replied, with a snippy tone and a mite more confidence than he felt at the moment.
