    Summary

    The year is 1920, and the world is just now beginning to recover from the devastating aftermath of the Great War. Castiel Milton considers himself fortunate that he has a life ahead of him that is not tormented by such things, a promising career as a writer, and the prospect of beginning a family with Meg Masters; but all of this is swept away when he meets Dean Winchester.
    The reclusive, traumatized war hero sends Castiel's picket-fence life spinning off into an unknown almost instantly. The year is 1920, the world is a broken and fragile place, and there is simply no room for a love breaking every moral taboo ever set in place.
    But they can try.

    Summary

    Once royalty, then a crime empire, the line of Durin now ekes out a living in an old apartment building on the edges of an underworld ready to see them fall.

    Thorin, having seen his grandfather and father killed, has an ever burning desire for vengeance and to see their fortunes restored, while Smaug would prefer to see the job he started decades ago finally finished. Fili, while apperciating his duty to his family, would really rather attend the college classes he pays for and Bilbo Baggins...

    Well he wasn't really expecting any of this.
