    Summary

    After suffering the loss of his parents young Bilbo is quite unsure what will become of him. Thanks to a letter his mother wrote he comes to be in the care of Lord Fundin who is the Steward of the Blue Mountains. Lord Fundin's sons Balin and Dwalin welcome the lost hobbit as a brother. Through them Bilbo is brought up as a dwarf and learns all about their intricate culture. When a dragon attacks Erebor Bilbo fears for the fate of his brothers and hurries to the Lonely Mountain. He learns that they are well and that the young Prince Thorin managed to rally support and defeat the dragon. Unfortunately while he is there Bilbo catches the eyes of several notable dwarves (much to the worry of his brothers) and yet seems entirely unaware of it (cause for further concern). As events pass Bilbo starts to wonder just how much Took he has in his blood, certainly no proper Baggins would have these problems.

    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

    So, maybe running off from the Shire to walk back to the Lonely Mountain on foot had been a stupid idea.

    Or: Bilbo decides he‘s sick of his life in the Shire and spontaneously bolts to head for the Lonely Mountain. Luckily, he happens upon a delegation of dwarves from the Blue Mountains he can accompany on their way to Erebor.

    Summary

    In the throes of gold sickness, Thorin threw Bilbo from the ramparts. He came to his senses as soon as the hobbit's body hit the ground. By that point though, it was too late. Heartbroken and filled with guilt, he and the company join the Battle of the Five Armies.

    After being slain in battle, Thorin woke up to an offer from Yavanna herself to go back, protect Bilbo, and not fall to the greed and madness of the Line of Durin. Only then would he be able to join the halls of his maker and find peace.
