Summary
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." - Galadriel
In an attempt to get the Arkenstone back for Thorin, Bilbo discovers the ring he's been using is the One Ring. Seized by a need to destroy gold, especially gold with the ability to ensnare creature and king alike, he sets out alone for Mordor. Anything to forget about the love that gold cost him.
What he doesn't know is that Thorin is no longer under the thrall of gold, and is desperately racing to catch up with him to keep him safe.
They may have just started on another adventure, but this one may not end as well as their first quest.

Summary
This follows after my other fic 'to change the course of the future'.
Bilbo and Thorin travel to the Shire to be married, only to find that it's near to storm season, which means the wedding must be immediately, much to Bilbo's chagrin and his cousins' glee. With the dwarves and elves lending aid, they may just get it done in time.
But it's not the rain they need to worry about, for another storm has been brewing beneath the surface: a storm of doubt and anxiousness, one that may leave the happy day drowned in grief and tears.

Summary
Follows immediately after "I will shelter your heart from the storm".
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is a terrible gossip and a wretched hobbit. These are all things that Dwalin would accept a lot better if she hadn't hurt Bilbo.
Because Bilbo is kin, and no one messes with kin. Not on Dwalin's watch.
Or Esmeralda's, or Primula's, or Kili or Legolas's. Which means, if Dwalin wants first dibs at cracking Lobelia, he's going to have to move quickly.

Summary
Post 'won't stand for it', pre 'the dark and lonely woods'.
The journey back to Erebor should be a beautiful one: he has his new husband by his side, jovial companions who are now kin, and a safe resting place just ahead in Rivendell.
But Thorin's suggestion, to speak the truth about the Arkenstone and the banishment, has been festering in Bilbo's head for days now. He's not entirely certain he can keep the words, or the pain behind them, to himself for a moment more. Even if they only tear open a wound that's never truly healed.
Even if they possibly tear asunder a fledgling marriage.

Summary
Post "I will shelter" but pre "leave me your fears".
Legolas, Kili, Tauriel and Gimli are cleaning Mirkwood of the darkness, one spider at a time. With Tauriel and Gimli distracted, Legolas and Kili finally get a moment to slip away from their self-titled chaperones.
But the forest is dark, and what was once a sanctuary is now empty of life. The light is gone, and joy with it.
Perhaps Kili's inner light will shine, even in such despair. And perhaps Legolas will have a chance to ask for that light forever.
(Yes, this is their wedding.)

Summary
It is a week before Fili and Dernwyn are to be wed. Dis's caravan is nearly arrived at Erebor. The main hall is nearly set up. The dress is nearly finished.
Dernwyn is nearly not panicking. Nearly.
Not that she has anything to panic about: she's only meeting her husband-to-be's mother, trying to find her place in Erebor, and doing anything to not think about the father king she couldn't save.
No, she's absolutely nothing to panic or worry about. Truly.

It starts with a sneeze and spreads through the mountain like a wildfire. The men who brought the illness have, of course, already vacated the mountain for the winter, leaving the inhabitants growing sick one by one.
It'd be a lot easier if certain dwarves remained abed when they were supposed to. Of course, those certain dwarves would say it'd be a lot easier if certain hobbits weren't so fussy about it.

A cave-in during a mine check takes from Thorin his hearing. Even as he strives to live with what may be a permanent loss, trouble begins to brew amongst some of the Council members that soon grows from a simple annoyance to potential treason: an assassination plot.
And hearing or no hearing, Thorin will NOT allow anyone to hurt his kin or his husband.

Summary
Prequel to "to change the course of the future".
While resting at Beorn's, on the way to Erebor, Fili and Kili demand that Bilbo teach them how to play his game of conkers. Which of course doesn't lead to anything good, because they both get their uncle in on it, and Bilbo's fairly certain Thorin barely tolerates him, so this is going to be a disaster. It would be easier to swallow Thorin's dislike if Bilbo hadn't found his heart leaning towards the dwarf.
And yet Thorin agrees to play.
Perhaps he doesn't quite loathe Bilbo after all.
One-shot.

Summary
"The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many." – Gandalf the Grey
"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? …For even the very wise cannot see all ends." – Gandalf the Grey
Ten years after the Ring was destroyed, kings were crowned, and a hobbit married a dwarf, peace rings across all lands.
But as they will all learn, wickedness still resides in Middle-Earth, and it will strike out for its own selfish gains. When the Shire, and Bilbo, are threatened, the former Ringbearer will find numerous allies at his side, some old friends, some new faces, to oppose the new threat.
Yet the greater threat is one that they may not be able to circumvent: Fate itself. For Fate has been denied lives it was meant to take years ago, and the very hobbit who strives to stop Fate's hand may be the one that tips it.

A/N: If you are concerned about the Major Character Death tag PLEASE SEE THE NOTE IN THE FIRST CHAPTER. I will make it better I swear. There are fics planned for after this one!

Summary
Post 'to rule the fate of many'.
Two years after the Battle for Erebor, Dain calls for Thorin to meet him outside of the Iron Hills and Erebor. Confused, Thorin agrees, and brings Bilbo, Dwalin, Fili, and others with him.
What begins as a potential political meeting soon turns horrific when Bilbo is taken, along with Dwalin, before they reach Dain. While Thorin scours the land, desperate to find them both, Bilbo finds himself not only at the center of a terrible ransom, but also the center of attention from one of the kidnappers, whose interest in him is more admiring and adoring than Bilbo wants. Not when all he wants is his husband.
It's just a matter of hanging on until the ransom is given, and keeping himself and Dwalin alive until then.

Post 'the sun will warm our hearts and souls'.
Dain arrives in Erebor, and brings with him more than just ridiculous demands: he brings with him a strong will that may, in the end, tear apart a family. Especially when he aims his sights on those in Erebor who aren't dwarves.
What he doesn't know is that the ones he's ready to climb over for his ambition won't be bent easily.

Summary
Pre 'to change the course of the future'.
In Laketown, the company rests and tends to Bilbo, ill from Mirkwood and the cold water escape. Thorin may, perhaps, tend to Bilbo more than the others, which not only leaves Thorin confused, but leaves Bilbo a bit bewildered, too.
But hopeful. Ever hopeful that, perhaps, Bilbo's not the only one harboring feelings deeper than the small infatuation he had thought it to be.
It would be easier for them both if one of them would just say something.
One-shot. Can be read as a stand-alone.

Post "if the hills fall, I will rally to you".
With Thorin worrying about the Ered Luin trade, the last thing he needs is to worry about an old injury that's merely flaring up a little. That's all, and as far as Bilbo's concerned, it's nothing worth worrying over.
Until it suddenly isn't a little flare up. It's something far worse.
And because that isn't enough, devastating news is delivered to Erebor that will change everything forever.

She also has a mean right hook and more stubbornness than any young hobbit should. She doesn't need any change at all, no friends beyond the ones she has, and no, definitely no, suitors.
Then life hands her Hob Hayward.

Post "in need of a hand to hold" and Chapter 9 from "my words will wander".
It's Bilbo's 90th birthday. What should be a simple celebration to acknowledge a hobbit's older age is fraught with not so celebratory things. Such as Frodo's heartache over what he thought was love, and Bilbo's memory that continues to slip.
Yet a silver lining hangs in the cloud above: kin visitors that may help the celebratory feeling return. Kin that happens to know a little something about mending hearts, and a lot more about fighting hard for Bilbo.
