    Summary

    Bilbo understands why he and Thorin must Court in the Dwarven fashion, he really does, but surely that does not preclude him from throwing in a few Hobbit traditions as well.

    Summary

    A wild thought: after the theft of the Arkenstone, Durin's Folk start regarding Bilbo as the Master Burglar. They think his deed to be an unsurpassed achievement in the craft of burglary, and many of them take lively interest in Bilbo.

    Fortunately, it turns out that Thorin has a solution which may make all the ridiculousness a bit less bothersome.

    Summary

    “It’s got such a presence to it, even from a distance,” Bilbo says softly, and there’s a general murmur of awed agreement from the others. “Why, in all my fifty years, I never thought I’d see such a thing, and we haven’t even arrived yet!”

    Thorin’s sword hits the ground with a clatter, and Balin chokes on his pipe.

    The hobbit doesn’t look at Thorin, too busy thumping Balin on the back. Once the dwarf seems able to breathe again, he looks up, to find thirteen wide pairs of eyes fixed on him.

    “What?” he says defensively, though he’s not sure what he’s defending.

    “You’re how old?” Kíli squeaks.

    Bilbo frowns at the young dwarf. “I’m fifty years old. Well, fifty-one, come springtime. Though it is not very polite to ask someone their age so bluntly,” he tells him primly.

    Fíli makes a choked sound, and Nori lets out a vicious string of swears in Khuzdul.

    Summary

    Do you still think of me? I think of you quite often. Though I imagine you have more important things to think of than a silly old hobbit, being king under the mountain. In which Thorin goes looking for one Baggins and finds another, and a series of misunderstandings occurs.
