    Summary

    The Orcs had moved off, their noise and their stench following them. The beasts had given up their incessant growling to go sniff at a half-eaten carcass in the mud some yards away. Silence rolled in like fog, heavy and bleak.

    Had it not been so still, so quiet, Bilbo wouldn’t have heard the Elf’s breath catch in his throat. Had he not heard that, he also might’ve actually left him there.

    But Bilbo did hear it. He knew that noise, he knew it well. It’s what someone sounds like when they’re trying very, very hard not to cry.

    Set somewhere in the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo makes a pit-stop (and a friend?) on his way to give the Arkenstone to Thranduil.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was not proud of how he turned out. He was not proud of allowing his dear Frodo to be the ring bearer. He was not proud of allowing his dear friends to die.

    Perhaps it was for this reason that Bilbo was given the chance to redo it. Perhaps the gods pitied him, or perhaps this was his punishment for all he had done.

    Regardless of the reason, Bilbo was here, in his dining room with dwarves he had long since parted ways with. With dwarves who had long since died. He didn’t know why he was here, but one thing was certain.

    Bilbo Baggins was determined to do better. He would not lose anyone dear to him, he swore it. Even if the cost was his own life.

    Summary

    Ever since he turned 17, Harry Potter has been having strange dreams of a life spent as the lover of an ancient Pharaoh. When Bill reaches out to him for assistance in opening a recently discovered tomb the burial chamber of which has been sealed with Parseltongue, the newly graduated Gryffindor begins to think there might be more to his dreams than meets the eye. After all, the murderous mummy they've unwittingly set free seems pretty convinced that he's the reincarnation of his consort.

    A story of loops in time and a doomed effort to save a monster's soul.
