    Summary

    Bilbo was a well-known, respectable Hobbit...but then he went on an adventure with Dwarves!
    This is the tale of how he came to embrace his lack of Hobbit respectability - and gained a family along the way.
    And headaches.
    Don't forget the headaches.

    Summary

    Hobbits had many secrets, perhaps as many as the dwarfs. But no one knew about hobbit secrets, so no one went looking for them. When Dwalin had told Bilbo of the deepest secret of dwarrow children, Bilbo had kept the deepest secret of hobbit children behind his teeth.

    Note: This story is a series of vignettes and ideas. I'll probably never finish them all, but the last chapter includes a summary of what all I might have thrown in.

    Summary

    The brave line of Thorin Oakenshield was not meant to survive the Battle of the Five Armies. But the love of a hobbit and an elleth might just change the path of history.

    A fix-it inspired by my story "Of the Stone of Erebor and the Gardens of the Shire"

    Summary

    *This story is a sequel to An (Un)Fortunately Tookish Engagement*

    Frodo Baggins is everything an unassuming hobbit should be.

    He's quiet, withdrawn but it's his unceasing curiosity and peculiar family that begins his unusual (and very unhobbit like) life in Erebor. He's raised by his Uncles and Aunts with cousins and friends for company and wants for nothing. Yet it will be this unassuming hobbit that finds his own way and in the process can restore the balance to Middle Earth.

    Along the way he will find strength in being himself and learn that there are different ways to be strong.

    Summary

    After suffering the loss of his parents young Bilbo is quite unsure what will become of him. Thanks to a letter his mother wrote he comes to be in the care of Lord Fundin who is the Steward of the Blue Mountains. Lord Fundin's sons Balin and Dwalin welcome the lost hobbit as a brother. Through them Bilbo is brought up as a dwarf and learns all about their intricate culture. When a dragon attacks Erebor Bilbo fears for the fate of his brothers and hurries to the Lonely Mountain. He learns that they are well and that the young Prince Thorin managed to rally support and defeat the dragon. Unfortunately while he is there Bilbo catches the eyes of several notable dwarves (much to the worry of his brothers) and yet seems entirely unaware of it (cause for further concern). As events pass Bilbo starts to wonder just how much Took he has in his blood, certainly no proper Baggins would have these problems.
