    Summary

    Ninety-one years after the Fall of Erebor, and sixty-two since the loss of his father and brother at the Battle of Azanulbizar, Mahal grants Thorin II Oakenshield a boon in the form of a child, the first of the like since the Second Age. After dealing with the misfortune and poverty that has characterized his entire adult life thus far, Thorin feels a burgeoning hope of a better future for himself, his family, and his people. This hope turns into hardened determination when Tharkûn presents him with an opportunity to reclaim his homeland and return Durin’s Folk to their former glory.

    If only Thorin could overcome the sickening terror that grips him at the thought of his child and sister-sons being lost as casualties to his ambition.

    If only he could stop staring at the damned Melekûn.

    Summary

    The gift of hobbits is a secret not known to dwarves. Bilbo’s gift saves the Company—repeatedly—and they don’t even know it until after Smaug is dead. But by then, just about everybody knows there’s a hobbit in Erebor, and the invading orcs decide to keep Bilbo and his otherworldly gift for themselves.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins and all 13 dwarves are sent back to the beginning of their adventure- all with full memory of what comes next. While some things need to come to pass as they did before, certainly not everything does.

    This is a second chance, and none of them are willing to waste it.

    Summary

    Nineteen years after a cautious Bilbo Baggins left his home to follow a king across a continent, the world-weary hobbit finds that he can hardly bear to be in his home for a week. He has spent almost two decades traveling across Middle-earth, chasing the elusive feeling of belonging that died with the King Under the Mountain and his heirs. As he prepares for yet another journey, Bilbo makes a painful decision to leave behind his awful, lovely golden ring. And everything changes.

    A time-travel fix-it where a hardened Bilbo Baggins is offered the chance to change a tragic story, perhaps at the cost of his sanity and his life. He doesn't even hesitate.

    Edit: Newly updated in April of 2025. Thank you for all the support. Your comments and kudos mean the whole world to me.
