The Hobbit by 컴터고쳐/이맘

[rerumtechnologies]

possibly my favorite trope in the hobbit fics is the dwarves underestimating a hobbit’s appetite and either fretting that they’ve been starving bilbo or worried that he has some kind of eating disorder

Bilbo: *stuffing his face as only hobbits can and oblivious*

Thorin: *acting majestic but having internal panic attack* have we not been feeding him enough?

Fíli: where do you suppose he’s putting it all?

Kíli: do you think he’ll explode

Such a sassy little thing, i'll have to think of a better riddle for you!

‘ Well, not to brag, but I would say I am good at riddles from… Personal experience. ’

What does a wicked chicken lay?

      ‘ Deviled eggs, come now—certainly you can riddle me better than that. ’

Thorin: What ? People actually tell their crushes they like them ?

Fili: What the hell do YOU do ?

Thorin: I die ? What kind of question-

For a moment, all Thorin could do was blink in surprise at Belda’s attempts to try and get the dwarf to move as the hobbit lass willed. She knew the hobbit could be a stubborn creature in her own right when the will struck her but this was…new. And Thorin couldn’t be bothered to be annoyed at the attempt because she was just struck with the futility of it all.

The urge to hoist the hobbit over her shoulder and continue on their way was strong but Thorin would hold off for another moment more. Belda could very well wear herself out in a moment or two.

“I’d stay in terms of stubbornness, Mistress Baggins, we are equally matched here,” Thorin observed, glancing down at the hobbit with a raised, unimpressed brow. “We would have already boarded the river in the time it took you to try and force me to move, I hope you realize.”

[botherxburgling]

Belda liked to think of herself as reasonable as any hobbit, well--- maybe not quite so, considering that she’d run out of her doors to follow a troop of dwarves on a foolhardy quest halfway across the world. But she was most definitely a sensible hobbit, and every sensible hobbit knew better than to attempt crossing a river with no bridge or boat. She wasn’t sure of dwarves, but her kind tended to sink straight to the bottom and more often than not, never come back up. 

“Just as well we could have been up and around it in the same manner!” She breathed out, heaving again with all of her tiny might. She swore she heard Kíli and Fíli laugh from somewhere to their backs. She’d deal with them later. 

So, perhaps she was afraid. Or embarrassed to admit that she couldn’t swim. Whos to say really. She had the idea that made more sense! Better to be safe than sorry. “Why risk it when it would be much safer to-- to-- to simply walk around it?!”

Elrond had been watching Bilbo struggle for perhaps longer than necessary. Although he didn’t particularly enjoy seeing a Hobbit in difficulty, he found himself secretly amused by the cross - but somehow still extremely polite - exclamations that emerged from the Hobbit’s lips.

“But of course, Master Baggins,” said Elrond, unable to keep a smile off his face. He asked the pony to hold still and lightly placed his hands on Bilbo’s waist, stabilising him so that he could dismount safely.

“And how was your journey here?”

[botherxburgling]

He had to remind himself that elves weren’t exactly the touchy-type, and keep his hands to himself. Still, it always was a little disorienting to be handled so easily, and Bilbo tried his very best not to cling as he used Elrond’s hands to help himself down. It wasn’t quite the most graceful dismount in all of history, but so long as his feet were on the ground and he was in one piece, he couldn’t really complain! Bilbo sucked in a deep breath and puffed it out, straightening his travelling clothes with a huff. 

“Not quite nearly as eventful as it was coming here the first time I’ll admit.” He said finally, after a moments thought. Bilbo turned his chin up to the elven lord and felt his lips twitch in a sadder, half smile. “I wasn’t used to the... The quiet.” 

Meaning, it had been lonely travelling alone with only Gandalf for company, rather than a troop of dwarves.

@botherxburgling liked your post for a starter || accepting

Of all of the places there were to travel, all of the nooks and crannies of Middle-earth there were to explore, the one place Tauriel had rarely thought to set foot in was the Shire. Just as it was not her place to return to Mirkwood, the Shire was full of people living their lives, people who should not be disturbed by an outsider. She was of the impression that the Hobbits, for the most part, did not get visitors outside of their own lands. She did not wish to cause a scene.

And yet the rolling hills were so peaceful-looking, clear and green and untouched. Sat upon a fence along the border of the Shire, Tauriel looked across at a bustling townscape far in the distance. Resting her chin in her hand, the elleth wished she had somewhere she belonged again.

For Bilbo Baggins, the morning had not been so quiet. Hair only slightly greyed with age, he currently had two armfuls of hobbit toddlers and was in the process of shooing the other three from his once tranquil home. Peregrin Took had a handful of his curls in his chubby little hand and was shrieking with laughter as he attempted to chase after the brat’s olders sisters. They’d come for stories, and he’d of course obliged, settling down with Frodo in his lap, and hadn’t noticed them getting into Belladonna’s glory box until it was far too late. Pearl, the oldest of the trio, had his helmet from Laketown in her hands and the other two were dragging out what had been one of Fili’s many daggers. 

“Girls! Girls, you come back this instant! If your mother sees-- Oh bother.” Bilbo said, grumbling as he hoisted Frodo and Peregrin higher onto his hips. He did not even notice the flame haired elf just off on the top of the hill next to his home. “Just-- Don’t cut off a finger, or stab each other if you please! I’m in fairly good standing with your parents and I’d like to keep it that way.”

Thorin and Bilbo as Vampires!  This was a halloween costume suggestion, but I just flat out decided to make them vampire boyfriends.  Check out those cute little fangs! :P
