    Summary

    The Line of Durin fell, and Bilba Baggins felt as if she fell along with them.

    Unable to find peace upon returning to the Shire, she takes to the road and spends her life alone, fighting to protect the weak, training in futility to fight a battle long since won, and to save those long since buried under stone.

    Her road is a lonely one, but one she feels she deserves for her failures to save the ones she loved.

    The One, she loved.

    She once thought she would find peace in death, and in the hope of seeing those she loved in the afterlife, but it seems even that is to be denied her, for as her eyes close in death, they open again - to find herself back in Bag End.

    And the date on the calendar is the day a wizard once appeared, and asked her to join in on an adventure.

    Summary

    Bilba Baggins is a bit shy. Okay, she's a LOT shy and when Gandalf shows up and dumps an entire Company of dwarves on her she is decidedly NOT amused.......or capable of speaking to them.....particularly the dark haired one who happens to be a PRINCE.

    Thanks for that heads up, Gandalf.

    All she can think is Kili should have a warning sign on him. It could say something like:
    "Caution: Exposure to KILI could result in side effects including but not limited to -
    - Incoherent speech
    - Inability to speak at all
    - Increased clumsiness
    - Decrease in brain function
    In a few cases more serious side effects have been reported including, but not limited, to -
    - The sudden urge to run off on poorly thought out adventures
    - Delusions where one believes they are capable of stealing from Trolls and/or dragons
    In order to limit the risk of developing one or more of these side effects individuals should limit their exposure to KILI to brief bursts of staring or sidelong glances."

    Honestly, it'd only be fair.

    Summary

    At age 11, Sigrid's mother dies leaving her as The Woman of the Household in charge of her two younger siblings. When she is 16 her Father, the poverty struck Lord of Dale, decides to remarry, choosing a wealthy man of no title but many means. Alas, an unfortunate event occurs and Sigrid is forced back into poverty with a stepfamily who treats her like a servant.

    When Prince Fíli is 9 years Old, his Father dies and just 2 years later so does his Favourite Uncle Frerin, leaving him as a reluctant Next in Line to the Throne. Though he tries his best to live up to his duty, the mischievous nature his Uncle encouraged in him still burns brightly and Fíli finds himself making regular excursions to The Forrest in an attempt to avoid the harsh rules laid down by King Thorin.

    One day, Fíli bumps into a young woman out hunting deer in the King's Forrest, a serious crime in the eyes of the law. However the two strike up a bond and soon find themselves falling in love. However, with Sigrid not knowing he is the Royalty she Resents, and Fíli unaware that she is The Former Lady of Dale, how can they hope to continue?

    Plus, what would their families think?!

    Summary

    Sigrid is a clinical pharmacist at one of Dale's free clinics, spending her days caring for some of the city's most vulnerable elves, dwarves, and men. She can help control your diabetes, lower your blood pressure, and (usually) even get insurance to pay for it. But there's one thing she can't do: speak Khûzdul.

    Enter Fíli, a dwarf who works for her clinic's contracted interpreting service. He's patient, skilled, and (she can admit it) easy on the eyes as well. But working in health care is hard enough as it is. Can the two of them walk the line between professionalism and passion?

    Summary

    After the Orcs retreat, Sigrid finds herself named Lady of Dale, eldest daughter of the King Lord Bard. In just one day her responsibilities have grown from two siblings to an entire city of incredibly vulnerable, newly homeless people. Fili is pleasantly surprised to find that he, his brother, and his uncle all survived the Battle of the Five Armies and are able to return to the Lonely Mountain with the rest of the Dwarves. Yet as neighboring Dale rebuilds alongside Erebor, Thorin’s diplomacy (or lack thereof) leaves Fili disappointed and frustrated.

    They keep bumping into each other, by coincidence at first, and sibling encouragement eventually. Can they afford to let their affection for each other grow when there is so much work to do? It’s not easy building two new kingdoms at once. But then, the course of love never did run smooth.
