    Summary

    Bilbo and Frodo sail to Valinor on the Last Ship. Frodo is still wounded in body and soul from his time as Ring-Bearer. But Bilbo is all but lost once again to grief, sorrow, loss, and the pain of the knowledge that he alone is responsible.

    A new plan is made, for a new refrain in an old melody, created in the long stretch of time between the beginning of the Age of Man and the end of Arda. The wounded souls of Bilbo Baggins and Thorin Oakenshield are quietly smuggled from their isolated deaths and remade, refashioned, renewed before they are sung into the new refrain at the moment of their first meeting - not at an Unexpected Party, but across a crowded Market.

    New Beings, Old Souls, a familiar Quest, with a very different Outcome.

    **An Important Note: Hobbit lifespans are only slightly less than Dwarrow, say 2/3 or so.**

    Summary

    Or, where you are uprooted to, and then, after a year, replanted?

    Bilbergia (Bilba) Baggins is back again, and has to deal with the repercussions of her being away from the Shire for a year and a month. Cleaning up after dwarves is nothing new to her anymore, but dealing with the memories that seem to sprout up with every step she takes? Maybe they're the reason she can't get herself to close her front door...

    ------------------------------

    A story in which Bilba, returning to Hobbiton and Bag End, has many flashbacks of her time among the Company of Thorin Oakenshield. (The slowest of slow burning burns.)

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins is a gentle hobbit of good reputation. He is the proprietor of his family estate and has a comfortable fortune. He is also unmarried, at the age of 43, and the whole of the Shire is speculating that the vein of wildness that plagues his family line is hindering his chances. In fact, no one in the Shire can understand Bilbo’s refusal of so many proposals from very auspicious matches. But, when a mansion built on the far west side of the Shire is occupied by visiting royals, the Master of Bag-End might just find his perfect match. That is, if prides and prejudices can be put aside.

    Summary

    Bilbo is left to tend Thorin as he hovers on the brink of death after the Battle of the Five Armies. Is love enough to save Erebor's king, or is this the last farewell?

    "It reminded him of plucking daisy petals to the litany of loves-me, loves-me-not. Yet nothing so simple as love lay on his mind. He barely dared to think it, but his question was not a matter of the heart. It was more basic, more instinctive, and he couldn’t help but feel that with each strand of hair he tended he was divining Thorin’s destiny."
