    Summary

    The fields were quiet. Too quiet. Even the birds had gone still.

    Frerin reached down, brushing his fingers along the deep gouges in the dirt. His hand came away black.

    “That’s not mud,” Dwalin muttered.

    From behind the hedgerow, a low growl echoed.

    Then came the screech. sharp, guttural, inhuman.

    And just like that, the Shire was no longer safe. Belladonna Baggins never asked for more dwarves in her garden, or danger in her hills, but fate has never been much for courtesy.

    -
    With Thorin Oakenshield now an awkward fixture in Bag End (and a very large one, at that), Bilba is doing her best to preserve her quiet Shire routines. But with her adopted sons Fili and Kili caught between blood and belonging, and new visitors arriving at her door with more baggage than luggage, peace is harder to maintain than ever.
