    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins doesn't fit in in the Shire. He's not a normal hobbit. That doesn't bother him.

    Having his warnings ignored? Trying to help those who will not help themselves?

    That bothers him.

    The Time for Home by Drenagon
    Fandom: Middle Earth (the Hobbit)
    Pairing: Thorin/Bilbo

    Some of my fav characterisations of the Company (amongst others)! Lots of laughs, until I realised it was ending and started procrastinating the final chapters so it could last longer.

    Summary

    An excerpt from A Guide to Shire Flora by Bilbo Baggins, collected by Frodo Baggins:
    The Mile’s End is a rare flower found only in the four farthings of the Shire. While no one is certain when it was first recorded, it can be found in Hobbit art and embroidery patterns going back at least 500 years. The peculiar thing about mile’s ends is that they only bloom when in the presence of true love or rather, soul mates. In Hobbit culture, therefore, it is mainly used during wedding ceremonies. They are of particular importance to weddings between two brides or two grooms, for both relationship and flower are seen as precious and symbolic of Hobbit love for community and family in all forms.
    Etymology: the name “mile’s end” is most likely derived from the Sindarin loth, meaning flower; mîl, meaning love; and henia, meaning understand. What originally was mîlothenia, became milothen and eventually milen. From there, Shire accent turned it into two separate Westron words: mile’s end.
