by Gimlelul

Expecting to live out his life alone in Little Bag End, Bilbo Baggins is surprised, and somewhat horrified, when an old friend of his mother’s drags 13 Khazad into his life — including one of Bilbo’s biggest regrets: the dark haired blacksmith from Bree, a khuzd he never intended to see again.

Why would I need my heart after this?

[overthinkinglotr]

My favorite thing about Bilbo’s adventures is that there’s technically no “”canon”” version of Bilbo’s adventures. 

Like The Hobbit– the book– is canonically a very biased account of events written by Bilbo himself. It’s also Canon that some of things Bilbo wrote were flat-out-lies (Ex. the original version of Riddles in the Dark, where Gollum willingly gives him the Ring as a gift.)

In the books Frodo also says that Bilbo “always jokes about serious things”, makes light of things that were actually important to him or hurt him. Which obviously also puts the bright, jokey tone of The Hobbit in a new light

So the question of…what really did happen, and what was its real effect on Bilbo? Is up in the air. And the only sources you have to piece it together are 1. a ridiculously biased account that’s mostly true but also contains who-knows-how-many lies and half-truths, told by an unreliable narrator aggressively determined to Laugh It All Off, and 2. a few random snippets, some that agree with Bilbo’s account and some that contradict them 

[rainydaydecaf]

It struck me really hard after watching the Battle of Five armies that, whenever Bilbo told stories about his adventure, he only ever talked about the trolls and the dragon and sometimes the riddle game. The parts that made good, fun stories for the kids and could be toned up or down depending on the audience. But… he never talked about the dwarves. He never told anyone about the friends he shared this whole journey with and how much they meant to him, how he probably grew to love them all like family. He never elaborated about his relationship with Thorin (whether friendship or something more, either way, we know it was strong) and his grief over Thorin’s death, arguably the most traumatic part of his quest. But Bilbo spares only a single sentence to describe his tears even though it’s clear from the movie that Thorin’s loss haunted him for a long time after. All those little moments that meant something to Bilbo personally, all those times when he was afraid or angry or when he made mistakes or failed to save someone… all of THAT got crammed into a little box in his mind labeled Not Important, Don’t Look, Don’t Open, Just Pretend It Never Happened.

Partly, it may have been out of habit. It’s the way of hobbits to avoid anything Uncomfortable, to hide those messy emotions behind a polite smile and pretend everything is fine. But I also think… it was too painful for Bilbo to even process. He had no one to talk to about it, no one to cry with him, no one who would really understand what he went through. I always took his opening lines in the first movie to be his decision to finally tell Frodo alone about how it all truly affected him and how it changed him and how there are some things he will never quite heal from. Maybe Bilbo hoped it would help Frodo on his own journey… or maybe he just finally felt ready to open up to someone he trusted. We’ll probably never know.

[bilbosheart]

honestly, i’m so glad i read this because i didn’t know some of these things, or really realize.

but i just have to think like… what if tolkien is looking down and thinking to himself, “i just got lazy half-way through, relax ya bunch of detectives” LMAO

[jam-art]

thranduil sleeps calmer knowing even if his son married a dwarf at least he married The Supermodel dwarf and singlehandedly crushed the hopes of single dwarves and dwarrowdams everywhere

[words-writ-in-starlight]

this is my headcanon and you will never take it from me.

listen, just Listen for a second, okay.

Gimli Gloinul is from the line of Durin okay, he’s from the line of KINGS, his bloodline stands up against Legolas’ perfectly, if the elves and dwarves got their shit together for a hot second they would be like “YES, PERFECT, A DIPLOMATIC MARRIAGE TO BIND OUR HOUSES TOGETHER AND NEVER SHALL THE TWAIN THROW ONE ANOTHER TO DRAGONS…again.”  because you have a king’s son and a king’s nephew which, well, I love Dain but he’s not an EREBOR KING and GIMLI IS FROM THE FAMILY OF EREBOR KINGS.

And Gimli acts like he’s from the line of Erebor kings, too, okay, he’s a diplomat and a warrior and a nobleman, he’s the sort of person who SAYS things like ‘faithless is he who says fairwell when the road darkens’ and stares down Elrond Peredhil in his own home when his strength and faith are questioned.  And he’s the kind of person who swears his allegiance to people he barely knows because it’s Right and Good and Gimli knows it.

And Thorin Oakenshield was handsome, and his sister the lady Dis is beautiful, and Gimli’s cousins Fili and Kili were fine young dwarrows, and Gimli’s mother is a great beauty.

Basically my point here is that Gimli, proud strong gimli with his firebeard hair and bold laugh and mithril tongue and clever fingers, broke the hearts of everyone in Erebor and not a few people outside of Erebor when he married a goddamn elf.  Like.  Not even Arwen Undomiel (WHO MARRIED A GODDAMN HUMAN, it’s been a weird couple of years in Middle-Earth, everyone wonders strongly if they’ve been drinking too much).  Like he’s not even marrying a great beauty of the elves, Legolas isn’t ugly by elvish standards but also he’s nothing particularly special, and he’s not a great diplomat, and he’s BARELY a king’s son because everyone knows that Mirkwood elves are…a little odd.  Legolas is a big cheerful hunter who sings songs he doesn’t remember all of, who chatters to trees and has no sense of the right thing to say even if he’s developed enough self-preservation to know the wrong thing to say, and FOR THE LOVE OF MAHAL HE FIGHTS WITH A BOW.

“GIMLI” Gloin bellows “YOU TURNED DOWN THIRTY-TWO SUITORS FROM FINE DWARVISH LINES FOR THIS”

“Ignore him, amrâlime, he’ll get over it” Gimli says in amusement as he beckons Legolas over to his forge, where he’s carefully smithing mithril-inlaid gold marriage clasps that will grip fine elvish hair.  It’s too hot in the forge to wear shirts, if you’re working.  Every dwarf in twenty feet stops what they’re doing to watch Gimli’s biceps flex as he holds up a jewel for Legolas’ inspection.

“YOU COULD HAVE HAD A HAREM” Gloin wails from down the hall.

🌌🌌🌌A very late for my very very beloved wife, @mcmanatea!!!! 🌌🌌🌌

This is from her gorgeous fanfic, Come To My Own Hearthstone, which I very much recommend!!! It’s one of THOSE fics which kill you and your entire ass? Click to read!!!

[bluelovesstufff]

Can we get you started in your bagganshield Obsession plz?

Anon, are you asking me to list you all my fic recs or are you asking me to actually begin obsessing over Bagginshield? Either way, I am delivering because I’m already obsessed and here is a compiled list of favorite fics over on ao3 and favorite fan videos on YouTube. Buckle in boys.

Favorite Bagginshield Fics I’ve Read/Currently Reading (in no particular order): 

** are extra, extra favorites, but these are all absolutely incredible fics worth every second of your time.

** Nothing Gold Can Stay by perkynurples - 296k, rating: T, complete, modern royalty au, slow burn, (it has a 50k sequel guys!) 

Summary: Bilbo Baggins led a rather peaceful life, thank you very much, until an old acquaintance decided to turn it upside down, and he found himself agreeing to take a job that’s… let’s say not exactly up his alley, and might eventually cost him a little more than his treasured cozy lifestyle. Who would have thought tutoring a slightly menacing monarch’s more than slightly overbearing nephew could prove to be such an adventure?

A Most Sensible Idea by HildyJ - 76k, rating: T, complete, arranged marriage, erebor never fell au, canon divergence. 

Summary: Bilbo Baggins isn’t sure about this. Not one bit. 

Frodo is definitely too young to enter into an arranged marriage with a dwarven king called Thorin Oakenshield. It’s a good thing that Bilbo is there to chaperone him through their courtship.

After all, there’s no chance that a fussy hobbit bachelor would ever catch the eye of a king.

The Courting Habits of the Line of Durin by diemarysues - 53k, rating: T, complete, courtship, canon divergence, part of a series. 

Summary: Hobbits didn’t have such things as courting rituals – they were uncomplicated folk. They announced their affections with flowers or a cooked meal, a shared pipe or simply a kiss – and then there were meetings with both families and a date set for the wedding.

Dwarves, as he kept discovering, were a completely different kettle of fish.

The Wax and the Figure by Vinci - 68k, rating: M, complete, soul mates (squeeeeeee), soul bonds, follows the company’s journey. 

Summary: Almost all soul bonds are created unintentionally since there is no way of knowing who a person’s soul mate is until they have gone through the bond. Regardless, all newly formed bonds go through several phases. These include but are not limited to: The Initial Encounter, Connection, Separation, Need, Excessive Attachment and Sexual Desire.

Since soul bonds are rare, neither Bilbo nor Thorin realize what happens the moment their eyes meet.

Slapped With the Truth by somanyofthekids - 57k, rating: E, complete, sentinel and guides au, side durincest, it’s like a soulmate au but different. 

Summary: Bilbo is a (mostly) reformed burglar and a guide with peculiar gifts. When Gandalf arrives with a proposition involving 13 dwarves, a dragon, and a resurrection of those burglary skills, of course he’s going to say no.

Well, maybe not, but he’s definitely not going to get involved with any of this sentinel/guide bonding business.

Okay, at least for sure he’ll keep a lid on his own emotions, he has every kind of practice with that.

Dammit.

** Oak and Mistletoe by HildyJ - 55k, rating: T, complete, erebor never fell au, shire au, fairy tale elements.

Summary: After a life dominated by a strange form of sickness, Thorin is sent to the Shire to seek a cure only Bilbo Baggins can offer.

Burned to A Cinder by ferretbaby - 272k, rating: E, cinderella-esque au, secret identity, cultural differences, mostly T except for ch. 35., 42/42 chapters completed.

Summary: Bilbo, a lonely hobbit of the Shire in the valley outside Erebor, gets a job as a cook in the dwarf kingdom to pass the time and keep himself occupied after his mother’s death. One day he meets a regal dwarf, who he thinks is a thief and trespasser, and throws an apple at his head, never knowing he’s just assaulted the dwarven Prince. Thus begins the antagonistic and somewhat odd courtship of a hobbit and the next King of Erebor.

Convincing a Hobbit by seekerluna - 62k, rating: none, complete, side durincest, BOTFA redo, everybody lives/nobody dies au, dwarf courting. 

Summary: “Not so much sent to retrieve as to convince.”

Bilbo never expected to find the dwarves on his front step again and yet here are three asking him to return to Erebor with them when all that awaits him is pain. He took Thorin’s words to heart and he refuses to set foot in the Lonely Mountain again. But what the King wants, he gets.

And thats how Bilbo ended up returning to Erebor, for a… short visit that somehow becomes quite long.

There might also be some magical intervention in the midst of it all.

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes by diemarysues - 64k, rating: G, complete, cinderella au, canon divergence, erebor never fell au, dwarf culture and customs.

Summary: Bilbo Baggins has been plagued with dreams for some months, always filled with the same stranger: big hands, strong arms, dark hair. It seems a mystery until he figures that it is a Dwarf, though this only narrows down his search to every Dwarf in Erebor. 

When he overhears mention of a special party in the Mountain he wishes briefly that he can attend. But that’s ridiculous. He’s a Hobbit, not a Dwarf.

Turns out that’s not a problem when magic is involved.

Alone is a word not meant for you by authoressjean - 5k, rating: G, one-shot, modern au, author!Bilbo, guardian uncle Thorin to Fili and Kili.

Summary: The holidays are fast approaching, and Thorin’s been dreading them, now that it’s just him and his nephews. Harder still given that Fili still barely speaks and hasn’t really since Dis died.

So when Kili drags them into the bookstore to look for children’s literature author Mr. Baggins’ new book, and they find the author himself reading his latest, Thorin isn’t expecting anything beyond maybe making his nephews a little happier.

He certainly isn’t expecting to find something for himself but he may have done just that.

** and sow a star divided in us by MistakenMagic - 57k, rating: T, complete, Star Wars au (squeeeeeee), old republic era au, gays in space!

Summary: After his first successful solo mission, Jedi Knight Bilbo Baggins, trained by High Council member and full-time nuisance, Master Gandalf, returns to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. During an excursion to the sparring arena, he meets a group of Dwarven Jedi from Ered Luin, a mountainous planet located in the Outer Rim. Young padawans, Fili and Kili, are full of curiosity at this strange, barefoot Jedi, but Master Thorin, who appears to have the personality of a rancor and mental shields like blast doors, is less than impressed.

Feathers that Flutter and Fly by orphan_account - 14k, rating: M, complete, wing!verse, wing fic. 

Summary: The Shire is taken by Orcs, ravaged and destroyed but Bilbo, who is still very young, managed to escape. He runs, travelling through Middle Earth until he reaches Erebor, where Thorin finds him, cold and starving.

Tupping by ferretbaby - 15k, rating: E, complete, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, abo fic, canon divergence.

Summary: The alphas go into rut after battle as a result of all that adrenaline. Bilbo sits back with the betas and laughs, or tries to.

The One Who Wouldn’t by Salvia_G - 11k, rating: T, complete, soulmate au, soulmate-identifying marks, everyone lives/nobody dies au, marriage contracts.

Summary: If Adventures make you late for supper, Soulmates make for missing supper entirely.

In Hobbit society peace and plenty is viewed as more valuable than passion and riches. Marriages are thought best when they’re settled, warm affairs between friends. That’s why Soulmate marks are thought of as a mark AGAINST a marriage-match…

Dwarves on the other hand, view a soulmate as a blessing from Mahal. If a dwarrow is so lucky as to be born with a mark they spend their life searching for their One. No wealth or jewel is thought of greater value than a soulmate.

So when Thorin and Bilbo meet and see each others marks?…

** Take From Me My Lace by pibroch (littleblackdog) - 130k, incomplete, modern au, fashion and models au, female!Bilbo Baggins, Fireman!Thorin.

Summary: Bilba Baggins, popular model for a premier lingerie company, isn’t always entirely convinced that the perks of the job are worth the hassle. Can’t she even go to the shops without being recognized?

But Thorin Oakenshield doesn’t seem to recognize her at all, even with her nearly-naked breasts forever plastered across half of London.

That’s… a very refreshing change.

there are many more in my saved for later, so I supposed I will have to make a part 2

Bilbo Baggins was an ordinary hobbit, as respectable as his father before him. He never did anything unexpected and arrived precisely on time.

He was a Baggins of Bag End.

And that meant respectability.

So finding his bonded was a dwarf was a great disappointment to the young hobbit.

It was just not done.

But.

How he had come to regret the rejection.

Now he has to continue on a quest with his rejected bonded.

Trying to regain a Kingdom.

Bilbo Baggins rejected Thorin Oakenshield.

a quick reminder that thorin is holding both of bilbo’s hands in the first gif, and then continues to clutch onto bilbo’s sleeve until bilbo grabs his hand and tightly holds onto it until thorin dies

[emsiecat]

Quick quick quick whilst the internet is forgetting to die.

Here’s day one early!

-

It had been an unconscious thing in Laketown, wearing Thorin’s colours. Bred from necessity, the only coat they could provide that had any hope of Bilbo wearing it without it falling off him happened to be a child’s, old and worn in a velvet blue hue. Somehow, it still needed to have the cuffs rolled back and be fastened with a belt to prevent the fabric gaping awkwardly.

Bilbo had honestly not thought about any significance to the colour. He had been more concerned over how warm it would keep him what with the terrible head cold he had developed after their impromptu dunk in the river.

No, the only moment he could recall that had left him wondering had been when Balin had noticed the coat and shared a meaningful look with Dori. The pair had looked positively gleeful, especially when Thorin’s eyes had flicked over Bilbo and he had then reached for the dark red tunic instead of the grey that his hand had previously been hovering over.

Bilbo put it entirely out of his mind. As far as he could tell, the dwarves all had their odd little ways and rituals about them and who was he to question them? Besides, he had more important things to consider; like how in all of Middle Earth was he supposed to sneak past a dragon of all things once they reached the mountain.
