    Summary

    “Bruce, I found one for you. He’s on your level. Just give him some training, and he’ll be perfect. Thanks.”

    In a universe where Peter Parker never had the cover story of being an intern, he is picked up by Bruce Banner to intern at Stark Industries. Still Spider-Man and still known by Tony Stark from those Homecoming scenes, Peter takes a different path when he feels that Tony only likes him for his powers. While growing closer with Bruce Banner, Peter investigates his past and builds a name for himself in the scientific community. Tony struggles to recognizes Peter for his personality rather than his intelligence and secret identity. As they begin to understand each other, Peter befriends Black Widow, Bruce Banner, and Shuri.

    Summary

    “Dwarves tend to use the stones they come from, but here,” Gandalf says, reaching into some hidden pocket of his robes and revealing a handful of very dirty gemstones. “Take these.” 

    Covered in dirt and all else, Bilbo really can’t see what he’s even looking at. A couple of gems, perhaps, or crystals. Only one tends to be actually cut into the fashion of rings, but the others look like they’ve come from the ground directly. One looks to be a garnet, but that’s the only color he recognizes. 

    “And pray tell,” Bilbo drawls, “what am I supposed to do with this?” 

    Gandalf laughs, fully bodied and leaning forward slightly. Bilbo can’t help but stare, half debating on throwing the mismatched rocks right onto the ground. 

    “Why, give it to Thorin, perhaps? As a token of… friendship,” Gandalf says.

    -

    Or Bilbo gives Thorin a gem that means lust. Thorin eventually replies with a flower that means hate. They figure it out in the end.

    Summary

    It was a truth universally acknowledged to all within Erebor and its surrounding lands that Dwalin and Nori of Thorin’s Company could not stand the sight of each other. They fought and bickered each and every time their paths crossed like a feral cat and a baited dog.
    But a truth slightly more obscured than that, lounging just to the left of what could be handily observed, was the notion that hate probably didn’t describe this at all.

    In which Thorin and Bilbo are hypocrites, Dwalin and Nori are oblivious, and the entire Company (plus Dís) are shipper trash.

    Or: the most ill-advised romance Erebor has ever seen, featuring all the gratuitous little Austen-isms you have always craved in a Hobbit fic!
    Half Nwalin, half Bagginshield.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins, in the last days of his life, departed Middle-earth bound for the blessed realm with his companions. Until the Valar intervene. The Valar offer him a chance to change his fate, and with it the history of Middle-earth. He sets out to save the line of Durin and to prevent the ring from ever going to Frodo...but the Ring of Power has a will of its own, and its power is not one to be lightly thrown aside.

    Another Battle of Five Armies fix-it, because we can never have too many stories where there is more to their story than death and grief. Though in this case, there is still some lingering grief. This timeline will be a mash-up of the book and movies, along with some lore and events from the later trilogy (LOTR), and assorted other Tolkien lore taken from various essays, works, and one very entertaining interview between Richard Armitage (Thorin) and Martin Freeman (Bilbo). Anyway, hope you all enjoy!

    Summary

    “And, like – farming, right? How hard can it be? Take a seed, put it in some dirt, sprinkle some water and wait. Boom. Food. Done. And I’ve driven a tractor practically every weekend this year, it’s not that hard.”

    Gemma pauses the video. She un-shares her screen. Her smiling face pops back up in the centre of Max’s monitor, gaze distinctly pointed.

    Wait.

    “That’s it?” Max hisses, incredulous. “Seriously? I’m getting cancelled over a joke about fucking farming?”

     ~~~~~

    Max has had PR disasters before. This time, though, he’s made the mistake of pissing off some random British farmer with a loyal YouTube fanbase and a penchant for passive-aggressive callouts via X. And George Russell isn’t the type who’s easily appeased.

    (Or: Max learns to drive a tractor, harvest wheat, and fall in love.)

    Do i wanna eat the food in the fic, or the fic itself? Modern philosophy.
