Summary
It's said the Arkenstone is the literal heart of the mountain with a pulse of its own, ensuring life can sustain within it, but it's also been said that the Arkenstone can drive any king mad. Not every curse of madness is the same. When Thorin Oakenshield is plucked from his eternal slumber by some miracle of the stone, he must work with Bilbo to navigate this new world and what it means for the both of them.

Summary
--
“Bilbo…” Bilbo's head shot up quickly, stuffing the stone in his pocket looking down the hall to the voice. His heart plummeted seeing Thorin fear running up his spine. He looked so confused and hurt. There was no way Thorin didn't see that. His eyes were filled with such betrayal, such anger, almost a hint of surprise unsure if what he saw was true. “Bilbo, did you steal from me!” It didn't come out as a question, only a command.

Summary
Bilbo stood beside thorin, next to the throne that he was starting to hate very much, thank you. And the gold, oh the neverending piles of gold. He hated it. He wished he could find the deepest mine here and drop every last coin in, never to be seen again. Thorin hasn't been himself, he doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, and his eyes are constantly searching, looking for traitors that aren't there. Bilbo has caught glimpses of him while walking the halls, standing hidden in the shadows just watching, waiting for the moment he might see which one of them has stolen it. What he doesn't know, is while Bilbo stands here next to him so is the Arkenstone. They're all starting to wonder just what Thorin's capable of. Can Bilbo save him before he does something he can't take back?
or
Thorin is holding on by a thread, Bilbo needs a hug and it's only a matter of time before someone or something breaks.

Summary
A reincarnation/retelling story that takes place around the late 1800s because Thorin and Bilbo deserve another shot at this.
It's a sequel of sorts to Becoming Thorin of Bag End, but can be read as a stand alone story as well.
Since it's a retelling of The Hobbit, it includes some of my favorite quotes and plot points, sometimes paraphrased, and it borrows themes from other books/fantasy universes as well... hopefully none of it is particularly offending to anyone in any fandom, I’ve done my best to keep things as authentic as I can, considering it’s ultimately a different adventure in a different time… :)
So... here goes as Thorin and Bilbo figure out their love lives, with (hopefully) considerably more success the second time around

Summary
Belladonna Baggins the Second is an Odd Hobbit, the Mad Baggins. She has always acted every inch of the Took her mother was, until her parents died that is. Left with her younger brother to care for, she has tried to make herself become every inch the Baggins she needs to be. She doesn't realize how badly that was going until a wizard shows up on her stoop. With nowhere else to go, Bella packs up both herself and Bilbo and joins the Company of one Thorin Oakenshield. The only problem is they think she's a male, and she's not sure how to tell them she isn't without meeting the business end of someone's axe. The lesson to be learned of all of this? Don't listen to Meddlesome Wizards.

Summary
A thousand years after the demise of Sauron, the world has moved on. Minas Tirith is now a sprawling metropolis, and the relics of the past gather dust in museums. Vashti Arhun, a young Easterling whose parents immigrated to the city many years ago, has long escaped the drudgery of her service job by studying the magical past. Long has she admired the heroes of the tale, whether they be as great as Gandalf the White or as humble as Samwise Gamgee. Her friends like to poke fun at her, reminding her that magic and wonder has largely left the world, and she is forced to admit that they are right. When she becomes embroiled in a battle at the Royal Gondor Museum of History between her hero Gandalf and one of the Blue Wizards, though, she steps up in a way she'd never believed possible, and finds herself dragged into a journey the likes of which she has only dreamed of.

Summary
What would have happened if Bilbo hadn’t found the Arkenstone before Smaug’s death and if Thorin’s threat of nobody resting before it was found was actually enforced.
(This is my first work here, it’s probably really bad so apologies in advance. I just had this idea while rewatching the Battle of Five Armies and I went with it lmao)

Of clueless dwarven kings and handsome hobbit burglars by malazuzu22

Summary
This thing started 4 years ago as a crack fic to amuse myself because honestly, dwarves are just ridiculous. As I returned to it after a long pause and it took an entirely different spin, a summary rewrite is a necessity.
Bilbo Baggins had been touched by black magic. Her idle life in the Shire without any need to use her dark powers was turned upside down when Gandalf appeared at her doorstep to drag her yet again into trouble. But who wouldn't want to see a dragon? And the crownless king of dwarves wasn't so bad himself too. In hindsight, she should have just told the wizard to sod off.
Thorin was quite ready to despise the newly acquired Company burglar, he was. Instead, he fell head over heels for her. Courting on the way to Erebor proves to be rather tricky when you're a directionally challenged jealous idiot and pretty much everyone ends up smitten with your One while literally nothing goes as planned.
Throw in some dragon sickness angst, One Ring troubles, unexpected friendships and a lot of elves. Chaos ensues.

Summary
I could say, perhaps, that there was something I could have done to change how things had played out. That if I hadn't skipped my lecture, had taken a later bus, had gotten off a stop closer to home, things might have ended differently.
Yet what happened was outside of any mortal control. Maybe it had been an accident; simply a small hole in the fabric of existence I had happened to fall through where others hadn’t.
Either way, I ended up in a place from whence I could never return.
My soul torn asunder and sewn to another.
And perhaps I was better for it.
Even if I was dead.
