    Summary

    “I just wish…”

    “What do you wish?”

    “I wish I could have changed it all.”

    For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?

    Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.

    Summary

    What if Bilbo and Thorin met several years before the quest to reclaim Erebor began? Thorin is hurt and Bilbo takes him back to bag-end to help him and feeds him obviously. They managed to strike up a friendship (at least partly because Thorin is less of a prat when he isn’t wearing the mantle of an exiled king)... and then years later the quest begins

    Summary

    You do not have to be good.
    You do not have to walk on your knees
    for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
    You only have to let the soft animal of your body
    love what it loves.
    -Mary Oliver, Wild Geese

     

    Or, in which this is another Dragon!Bilbo fic. Over the last 200 years, Bilbo has found contentment within his life at Bag End, and he does not long for adventure, much less to face one of his kin. But he does so anyway, because the ruin of Erebor has deprived him of his favorite tea for the past sixty years, and finds that, in spite of his life of cruelty, he does not have to be lonely.

    Summary

    So we all know the story. Let’s be honest we’ve been reading about these two since the first movie. So I skipped the filler since I suck at it. You can consider this an outline or a new vague(read: lazy) way of writing.
    ——
    "Don't be silly Kee; hobbits don't have a One," Fili threw a pitying glance over the fire to Bilbo. "It's because they aren't Mahal’s children."

    "Oh," Kili watched Bilbo with a considering gaze. "So they just marry anyone?"

    "Well-" Bilbo began just to be interrupted by Bofur.

    "Maybe they marry by lottery!"

    "Or lucky dip!"

    "Or-"

    Bilbo stood up and strode out of camp to the ponies. At least ponies weren't ridiculous, idiotic Dwarrows!
