Tis the season for tournaments, and we are no exception! Get ready for Bagginshield Trope March Madness! We have carefully chosen 64 tropes across 4 brackets to be voted on all month long. What’s the catch? We will not be using any polls for this tournament, the only way to vote for your favorite trope is by sharing or creating Bagginshield fics. 😎

Rules: 

For each match-up post you must either reblog it with a fic link or drop a fic link in the comments. 

Fics can only be used once per trope. So plan carefully. If you reblog with 20 fics for Round 1, they can’t be used again for Round 2. 

Fic length and rating does not matter! But Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield must be on the fic. 

Don’t see your favorite tag? There is a Wild Card per bracket where you can use any trope you want. Bracket A is for AU Tropes, Bracket B is for Relationship Tropes, Bracket C is for Bilbo or Thorin Tropes, and Bracket D is for Plot Tropes. 

Trope with the most fic recs will move on to the next round. In the event of a tie, both tropes move on to the next round. 

Schedule:

Mar. 1-Mar. 3 Bracket A Round 1 Mar. 4-Mar. 6 Bracket B Round 1 Mar. 7-Mar. 9 Bracket C Round 1 Mar. 10-Mar. 12 Bracket D Round 1 Mar. 13-Mar. 15 Bracket A Round 2 Mar. 16-Mar. 18 Bracket B Round 2 Mar. 19-Mar. 21 Bracket C Round 2 Mar. 22-Mar. 24 Bracket D Round 2 Mar. 25-Mar. 27 Sweet Sixteen Mar. 28-Mar. 31 Elite Eight Apr. 1-Apr. 5 Final Four Championship

Tallies will be updated in the Acorns and Oak Leaves discord server every day! Feel free to join us if you haven’t already.

Lore Update:

Hi frienz,

It's been *checks last post published* 5 months. Wow. Sorry.\

I am mostly back now.

Basically, I went from writing 24/7 to hating the way I write.

In the mean while I survived a situationship that seems to have snapped me back to reality.

As far my on-going F1 AU: This year I actually (finally) got into F1 and reading back it's inaccurate. Also having real drivers in there was messing me up. Anyways. Long story short, I am scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch (starting with creating a brand new world?? Wish me luck). I will also only be posting said new fic only when I have it all finish written, where I will release a chapter per week. All this having been said: I need people who are into Bagginshield AND F1 to bounce ideas off of. So if that's you, leave a comment! :D

Good time zone everybody!

First 10 Lines

I was tagged by @amethystviolist so thank you so much! This looked like so much fun!

Instructions: post the first line of your last ten posted fics and/or most recent WIPs, and then tag ten (or however many) more people to play.

So I went by my Top Ten WIPs I'm currently working on and here's what I got:

To Spoon Feed You Comfort- Bilbo was at his wits’ end with these loud, pushy, rude, arrogant, ill-mannered, disgusting dwarves.

A Mother's Curse- The world was white, and it was cold.

Just to See You Happy- Bilbo Baggins was many things in the eyes of his nephew both before and after the incident with the ring.

Ambassador to Madness- When Bilbo had been asked to represent the Shire in Erebor, this wasn’t at all what he had in mind.

The Raven Prince- It was a beautiful day in Tuckborough.

Just Out of Reach- It was a beautiful ceremony.

Soul Traitor- Each of the races have their own views on soulmates and how you go about finding them.

When Love Fell Upon Me- Kili was returning to the mountain, bow in hand, and a large stag swung over his shoulder.

Oakenshield's Fourteen- Thorin hunched his shoulders against the rain, wishing he had thought to grab a proper rain jacket as he ducked inside the bar.

From the Pieces of Your Shattered Memories- He was looking out the window, but he wasn’t seeing the city before him.

Mini little analysis: wincing hard at the fact that The Raven Prince and Just Out of Reach pretty much start off the same. 🫣 Also going to give it up to the rare fics that DON'T start off with Bilbo's POV 😅: Just to See You Happy, When Love Fell Upon Me, and Oakenshield's Fourteen.

Thank you for the tag @sunnyrosewritesstuff !! this sounds like fun <3

Instructions: post the first line of your last ten posted fics and/or most recent WIPs, and then tag ten (or however many) more people to play.

So I'll do a mix, both my two posted fics then some WIPs to fill in the rest!

Bluebells, B's, and other Things - It was a beautiful April Saturday morning when Thorin pulled his truck into the parking lot of B&B Botanical Gardens and Conservatory.

A Guide to a Warmer Winter - Erebor was a massive kingdom, Bilbo was coming to learn.

WIPs (All Titles are either working or untitled)

Candy Man Can - The smell of various sweets was strong in the air.

Wrestling AU - "Bilbo come on! It's about to start and you'll miss the intros if you don't hurry!" Hamfast yelled from the living room.

Tales of the Shire AU - Hobbiton was an odd little town, Thorin thought upon first arriving.

Smaugest Fic (Will not be posted in August lol XD) - Thorin looked up at the red brick apartment building apprehensively.

I will cover you - Jiang Cheng hated banquets on a good day. (woah mixing it up with fandoms hehe hi mdzs)

That is all of my WIPs that I have first lines written for! Sadly I could not fill in a first 10. I have more fics in the WIP folder, but they only have outlines at the moment.

Tagging: @youbetyourbuttons @musical-fanatic01 @all-things-hobbit @meteormoss and @chipsbarista

Thank you so much for the tag @futuretimelord-468 . I am wholeheartedly excited for this. SO! I'm bending the rules a little bit and just going ham and doing however many I want. Here it goes: Published Fics: 1. Love in the Fast Lane (Baggingshield Formula One AU)- If you were to ask a certain Bilbo Baggins at that exact moment what racing meant to him, he’d tell you racing was his life." (Unfinished and in hiatus) 2. It's Who We Are in the Middle of the Night (Bagginshield Fic) - Thorin sat there. Just sat there. Looking at the scenery. It was sad really, the leaves were all gone and it was dreadfully cold, making the grass of the park a murky sort of yellow color. His thoughts were, naturally, racing. (Mind the tags/TWs!!) 3. The Sun and Other Stars (Marauders fic) - Looking through Sirius’ life is like looking through a film, a film that has been spliced. (Mind the tags/TWs!!)

WIPs:

Untitled Halloween Fic (Bagginshield fic)- In a hollow of trees and fog, lay a humble kingdom. The roads were crooked, and each and every rooftop was mossy.

7 Reasons to Live in Tennessee (Bagginshield Halloween AU) - Bilbo had been teaching when his phone vibrated in the pocket of his beige slacks. He’d ignored it, after all, he was in the middle of his very interesting lecture on Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, thank you very much.

Interstellar (Bagginshield Sci-Fi/Body Horror? AU) - Thorin hardly knows how long he's been there, floating aimlessly in this purple ocean of HYDRA 62. Centuries, his vessel tells him. It couldn't be possible. But couldn't it? It felt like it at times.

He Cried Silver (Psytrance) (Bagginshield Fic) - He cried liquid silver, shining down his cheeks, glittering to the sound of the bass.

Untitled Christmas Fic (Bagginshield Baker AU) - Thud, thud, thudding. It echoes off the walls and into Bilbo’s ears as he kneads the dough. Quite aggressively.

Polycephaly (Gabias fic) - When Gabin had first heard of the exchange program, an “artistic diplomacy experiment” that Geneviève had pitched like she was swapping antique rugs, he’d stormed into her office demanding to know why him.

The Veil (Gabias fic) - Tobias was tired. Tired from all the glancing his way he got in the last seventy-two hours. Not that he cared what people thought of him, but being stared at was, you have to admit, tiring.

I hope y'all enjoyed the snippets. I will not be tagging anyone, so whoever wants to play can join in! Cheers!! And back to writing for me!!

ten reasons (to go to michigan) by @greyeyedmonster-18

Best-selling novelist Remus Lupin, distraught and torn after his relationship of 10 years ends in nothing but doubt and litigation leaves the bustle of New York City, and retreats to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in hopes of reconnecting to his childhood and getting his writing spark back. Sirius Black is a local ceramicist and single parent with a backstory all his own, who happens to frequent the coffee shop Remus grew up studying in. Remus for the first time in his life didn't have a plan when he booked a one way plane ticket--except for maybe the plan to never fall in love again. Except...

Read the tags, read the tags, read the tags

I chant over and over again at people, shocked that a story contains themes dictated in the fucking tags....

This time Beebo is stealing the whole him instead of only his Arkenstone. They are chibified so I could draw this idea quickly, because I need to work on commissions. And I still haven't brainstormed on original dwarven space suits.

I’m sure someone else has done this but I had yet to see it

"Uncle is already thinking about how to suck him off, probably"

"Yes, not probably, but definitely. I know."

[etoileincorrectquotes]

The show cancellation changes nothing. This blog will go back to its regularly scheduled incorrect quotes tomorrow. I have two fanfictions I'm working on that I'll be posting in the coming weeks. It's important not to let the fandom die out.

[chipsbarista]

I've been hoarding these for a while. I hope you find them funny.
