    Summary

    I wanted to actually put time into this summary, as it's been a good while since I felt so attached to a fanfiction. Whether that's because it's such a beloved series or because I actually had more originality than I thought I would while devising a plot for this, I'm not too sure. What I wanted to do in this space is give you a sort of introduction to the character I began to form for the reader. I decided to go with a goddess that hadn't made an appearance in the games, that way it allowed for more creativity around her. Something I could sorta put my own twist on. And as I started writing and piecing some things together out of sheer curiosity, I realized I could actually make this work more than I had originally intended.

    This being a choice-based novel, where you as the reader can form a path for the main character insert, I decided to make this just a tad different from ones I've posted in the past. Focusing more on choices that shape your character rather than the actual story, it seems to allow for more...depth? And I was able to configure two separate ideas for two very different personalities while keeping the same character if that makes sense.

    Summary

    “I need a vacation.” Iz groaned. Rose rolled her eyes and went back to her Legos. “Hey! Don’t judge me, I’m under a lot of pressure right now.”

    “I know,” Rose said soothingly, “but your finals will be over next week and then you’re free for the summer. Technically that is a vacation.”

    Summary

    In which I attempt to answer the question: what if Thorin and Bilbo met before the formation of the Company? How does their first meeting change when there is no dangerous quest looming over them? (A partial AU where most of the canon events happen the same way except they are married the entire time).

    I have all ten chapters outlined and most of them will include prompts from a Year of Bagginshield. Expect updates about once a month (I hope!).

    Summary

    Ragnarök is over. Haunted by the strange specter of a golden boar, Sindri returns to the realm of the dwarfs after the sudden and mysterious loss of his home. A new threat looms over the horizon. Svartalfheim is growing with immense power thanks to a new dwarven group that call themselves the Metallic Division. Sindri is taken in by a dwarf named Asta, who has secrets of her own.

    Meanwhile, the strange and monstrous boar refuses to leave him alone...

    He may have been a footnote in the tale of Kratos and Loki, but his own has only just begun.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins was undeniably different from the other Hobbits, whether it was because he was the only one with curly black hair or because he had learned to use a sword with the help of the Elves. The thing was that Bilbo Baggins was not completely a Hobbit, he was half Hobbit and half Dwarf. His mother was left at the altar pregnant, by none other than Thorin Oakshield, after all the Dwarves have strict rules against marrying someone outside their race. And Bilbo Baggins lived without caring to meet his biological father, but everything changed with the arrival of Gandalf who offered him the opportunity to meet his father and also to find the other half of his soul. It's not like Bilbo could say no, after all.

    Summary

    Rosuanne “Ro” MacZorya never expected her twenty-first birthday to lead her into Middle-earth—one year before Gandalf ever came knocking on Bilbo Baggins’ round green door. The Shire welcomes her with orchard paths, flour-dusted kitchens, and tea parties that feel almost like home.

    But Ro carries a secret: she comes from the far future, from a world where magic has long since faded and Middle-earth survives only as a half-forgotten legend. Now, in a land still alive with song and shadow, the past begins to stir, voices whisper her name, and even the gentlest bird’s song may carry the weight of destiny.

    Ro may have found a home in the Shire, but fate has other plans—and some stories refuse to stay forgotten.

    Summary

    Billy was separated from his mother, and so together with his fairy aunt Kori and the masked fortune-teller Sasha, he sets out on a journey longer and more dangerous than anyone imagined. They travel through villages, forests, and places full of myths, helping those in need and listening to old legends by the fire.

    Summary

    'Should have known straight away that Tooks haven't the foggiest what truly qualifies as respectable', Hamfast realized later with equal fondness and concern as he beheld the letter addressed to him in Briella’s neat script sat primly on his doorstep.

    Wherein a midnight snack shifts the course of Briella Baggins' fate ever so slightly, and the expanding ripples descend unknowing upon Thorin and his Company.

    Summary

    Rose isn't quite sure who she is. She is sure she used to know but having died and woken up on Arda too many times to count is bad for her memory. Unfortunately these are not the only memories she has lost. She also doesn't remember anything that happened to the body she now has before she possessed it. What she does remember is the Dwarves being rude to her and Bilbo being one of her few friends in a really scary place. Oh and the Valar who want her to help Bilbo destroy the One Ring. They are decidedly not helpful. And she keeps failing at the task. On her latest life she is separated from her traveling companions and ends up in Ered Luin. She has given up on trying to remember her true identity but that might have been a mistake as might be agreeing to be taken to Thorin's Halls.

    Fili would like it if his Uncle would just come back already and rule his own damn kingdom. He would also like it if there were a few less people creating problems. It would be manageable but then one of the Mountain's Trading Companies comes back with a seemingly boring and useless Hobbit in tow and suddenly he has even more problems. And Kili refuses to help.

    Most of this is rated T but there are some mature themes.

    Summary

    Erebor falls to the dragon. Only that this time, it is not a red dragon named Smaug, but a green dragon named Bilbo that claims the mountain as his home.

    And with it all the dwarves inside.
    He doesn't kill them or hold them hostage - oh no. He will protect them, from anything and everything. He devotes his life to Erebor, swears to serve them until his last breath. Even if it means forsaking himself. Even if it means to die for them. Just who exactly has taken up residence in the mountain?

    Or: how Erebor ended up with a personal guard-dragon.

    Summary

    The Hobbit told how I thought it went. As well as how it should have ended. No one dies. A mix of the book, the movies, and a few personal touches!

    Not really good at writing summaries. Whatever. Keep in mind that I'm only in high school, have no idea how to write, and that English is NOT my first language! I'll do my best to keep this comprehensible :,D

    Summary

    Dwalin Fundin/Ori Ri, Dwalin/Ori, Dwori, Balin Fundin/Dori Ri, Balin/Dori, Darlin. Soon Nori/Bofur, Eventual Fili/Sigrid, and Kili/Tauriel, Several OC dwarrows. Eventual Thorin Oakenshield/Bilbo Baggins, Thilbo, Bagginshield,
    Ori of the Brothers Ri is a freelance scribe in the poorest part of the City of Dale. He rushes to rescue his trouble-making elder brother Nori and finds a life, romance and food in the Mountain among royalty. Dori has secrets! And there’s nothing like a fairy-tale of scandal and lost nobility! The story is completely from Ori’s point of view. Expect appearances from Thror, Frerin (who is an utterly spoiled brat - apologies to Frerin worshipers), Lady Galadriel, Thranduil and practically everyone else. This is totally safe for Dain fans!
    Smaug never hatched and Isildur listened to Elrond (somebody has to) and the one Ring no longer exists. Sauron is just a bad guy with orc armies.
    There are some serious bits, but mostly it’s just a lively romp with food. Did we mention the food?

    Summary

    What if the deity’s that the dwarves worship weren’t completely made up? Eragon and Murtagh cross paths with a woman not quite of earth. Her name is Kilf, and the stories of old aren’t quite right. Takes place in book one, multiple OC’s and pairings. Not strictly original storyline. Earlier chapters are going through editing for better readability.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins left Erebor, before Thorin Oakenshield’s fate was certain. For all that they shared (including their bed), the chasm between them seems too deep to bridge, even when Bilbo returns to Thorin’s side in time of need, selflessly devoting himself to the King even when he has reason to believe Thorin doesn’t feel the same for him.

    A story in which our two favourite idiots manage to talk circles around each other without getting to the point, Bilbo meets Thorin at death’s door a second time, Dís is sort of bullying Thorin into happiness, and there’s a whole lot of miscommunication and world building just the way Erebor is rebuilt.

    Summary

    Mirkwood was becoming suffocating, any could see that. It had some nasty effects on Thorin, and Bilbo is determined to cheer him up, which somehow leads to a proposal.

    Summary

    A knocking on the door made her look up from the book she was reading.
    A guest? At this hour?
    Slowly the small Hobbit stood up to answer the door.
    „Dwalin, at your service.“ A dwarf. A dwarf on her doorstep.
    A dwarf she knew a long time ago. A dwarf who died in battle, proudly swinging his weapon.
    With a blank stare she scanned the dwarf.
    ‚Oh Yavanna, how cruel of you‘
    Another moment the hobbit stood in the half open door, slowly realizing what was happening. In her empty eyes a spark lit up, after a long and cold winter. A single teardrop ran down her cheek, breaking her numbness.
    „You are alive?“ She wispered under her breath.
    Before Dwalin could react the small hobbit jumped at him, hugging the big warrior and sobbing at his chest.

     

    A retelling of the hobbit

    This is my story of the hobbit and their journey to reclaim the lonely mountain.
    I do not own the hobbit or the characters in it.

    After finding the city, it is different than talked about and Thorin is near death.
    Will Bilbo be able to nurse the dwarf back to health and will both of them survive the Great Ice?

    Summary

    I had a crazy idea to write a story in which Bucky Barnes somehow falls through a portal (or maybe just hits his head) and finds himself.... in Middle-Earth. You read that correctly. About the Middle of the Third Age, to be precise.

    Is it a dream, or is he really here, encountering Elves, Dwarves and some very strange Men - as well as an Orc or two and maybe even Gandalf at some point? I have not made up my mind up, but I hope to have fun with a modern superhuman lost in a very strange world, full of creatures just as powerful as him.

    I don't know how this will turn out, or how people will like it, but here's my first chapter.

    The author is European, hence the spelling and forgive me if I get any details about the American landscape wrong.
