    Summary

    Twenty years ago, a royal convoy of dwarves were sent to The Shire to solidify an alliance that would help both people thrive in the wake of tragedy. On their way, they were attacked, leaving no survivors. All bodies were recovered but one.

    Now, with both communities still in need of help, Bilbo Baggins of the Shire has agreed to go along with a wild scheme that might just benefit everyone. All it takes is some cooperation from a broody blacksmith who does not remember his past, a little well placed suggestion, and a whole lot of luck.

    Summary

    Dwalin is sent back in time after an unfortunately long life. When he saves Prince Frerin's life, Dwalin has no idea where King Thrain disappears nor who will shelter him. When the Company arrives at Bag End, their welcome will be far warmer than they could have anticipated.

    A happier Company, a wiser hobbit, and an extremely confused Dwalin who just wants everyone to survive this in one piece. Time Travelling!

    Summary

    Having to travel all the way to Ered Luin was the last thing Bilbo wanted, he had no say in the matter, though. The safety of his people was at stake, and if he wanted them to survive winter, he had to make sure to get a good deal with the dwarves.

    He just hoped his complicated feelings for the King wouldn't get in the way...

    Summary

    Cool Dad was at the school gate again. Clambering out of his ridiculous sports car like a great big spider, all black denim and designer sunglasses. What a prat. He made his way towards the entrance, followed by his equally lanky son. All the mums' eyes were on him. Which was fine. At least they weren't staring at Aziraphale for a change. Cool Dad high-fived his son goodbye, because of course he did, then sauntered back to his car. Making it look so bloody easy.

    Aziraphale Fell is much too young to be looking after eleven-year old Pepper. He barely has his life together as it is, with his minimum-wage job and a half-baked dream of trading rare books for a living. And as if adopting a recently bereaved pre-teen isn’t enough, there are some rather more adult problems to navigate: playground politics, the shadows of his own childhood, and the growing question of how Crowley, the only other dad at the school gate, feels about him.

    A human AU/kid fic.

    Summary

    "Thank you for listening," Thorin said, getting to his feet. "I hope to be able to return the favour, one day."

    The man on the bed didn't respond, but since he'd been in a coma for longer than Thorin had known him, that wasn't entirely surprising.
