    Summary

    Thorin falls in the Battle of the Five Armies, but shortly afterwards Bilbo is confronted with a familiar face in the halls of Erebor. This by itself is alarming, and made only more so by the realisation that he is the only one who can see Thorin.

    Semi-AU as of the BotFA

    (File name for this on my computer was Ghost-Thorin. Yes, that is how good my imagination is.)

    Summary

    As Bilbo sat smoking in his empty hobbit hole, he couldn’t help but wonder – when did his life become so boring? Or better yet – when did his old life stop being enough?

    He suspected the answer to that question lay somewhere around the time when he had refused Thorin Oakenshield’s offer of marriage.

    Summary

    Bella Baggins had sought out adventure and excitement as a child: she had been Bilbo the Great, the brave explorer who searched for elves in the wood and always came home trailing mud and leaves and fireflies. She had always dreamed of the world beyond her doorstep, yearned for the day she was old enough to step outside and face it, but the sudden death of her father changed all that. Bella Baggins quite lost her heart for adventure. She settled down into the quiet life, the simple life, the life that every hobbit wanted.

    She might well have stayed there too, if it were not for Gandalf’s meddling. Now she was on some mad quest to reclaim Erebor from a dragon, armed with a letter-opener and surrounded by dwarves that called her Mr Bilbo Baggins (and she didn't intend to correct them).

    Summary

    UA has a rule—no quirkless students. It was added years ago, after much hemming and hawing about safety concerns and lessening blame in the inevitable circumstance of death. There's no real reason to remove it, not as the percentage of quirkless people plummets further and further.

    Of course, this rule doesn't actually matter to Izuku, because he's got an analysis quirk.

    As far as anyone knows.

    The Plan is simple: have a quirk, become a hero, and avoid anyone who could disprove those first two things.

    In hindsight, UA isn't a great choice. And that's before the villains.

    Summary

    “Why, I remember you once tried to steal the pipe right out of my pocket,” Gandalf said with fond amusement.

    Oh, now that just wouldn’t do. If the wizard was going to bring up the old days, he could at least tell the stories correctly. Bilbo’s pride would accept nothing else. “And I quite succeeded, as you damn well know,” he said haughtily. “It’s hardly my fault you can’t go a minute without it and were already trying to pull it out again before I could leave the room!”

    The wizard’s only response to this was a neutral hum.

    “Wait,” said Thorin, holding up a hand. “So are you a burglar, or aren’t you?”

    “I’m retired is what I am!” Bilbo snapped. “And I have no intention of getting back in the business, certainly not for this mad quest that is going to get everyone on it killed!”
