My emotions are pouring with the idea of old!Bagginshield where Old!Bilbo runs a shelter for senior dogs, like the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. He takes care of these dogs, and does his best to find them foster homes. But he’s short of staff, with his nephew and cousins focusing in their school work. He then finds help from two recent college graduates, who can easily par with his cousins’ enthusiasm, and help run the shelter. They then find themselves actually adopting one of the senior dogs for their old uncle, who needed a companion himself. But because Bilbo is a worry wart, and loves the dogs so much, he wanted to make sure the dog’s transition goes smoothly by helping out the boys’ uncle take good care of the old pup. And in comes the sweet budding romance between the two old fart uncles.

Hello! I wonder if you have any old!Bagginshield recs? Like doddery old men (not necessarily of the Vicious variety) being all soppy and in love? (Also, maybe, bonus if one of them passes away in their bed because, hey, I'm a masochist!)

sorry this took me so long, i was super sick over the weekend, anyway HERE’S SOME OLD!BAGGINSHIELD FICS <3

Thinking Quietly by tinkr_tailr - this is so cute and sweet

I'll Remember―Always by TonyPie17 - this made me cry

Old Men of the Meadow by TheBookshelfDweller - i know i’ve rec’d this before but i just really really love it?

Messages of Ink by theomniscientsociety - this counts bc i say so and it’s cute

Over Grass and Over Stone by lindoreda - part of a series but you can read it alone

our bones are broken still by fideliant - “or, Six Things that will Never Happen to Bilbo Baggins” - it’s angsty but they are old eventually and it’s amazing so just read it

I just really need a fic where Bilbo and Thorin are like Freddie and Stuart from Vicious (i.e. constantly throwing shade on each other). (Fili and Kili in the background be like “you’re not fooling anyone we know you’re the sappiest bastards ever to sap”.)

Srsly tho I need a fic with this exchange:

“Where is that miserable old shit?”

“I’m right here you walking corpse!”

GOD the latest episode of Vicious is so bagginshield on point. Old!Bagginshield would get into a fight that would get them separated, but wouldn’t last a day until they get back together.

And OH THEY SHOWED YOUNG!FREDDIE AND YOUNG!STUART TOO

Ooops haha bilboo‘s tag made me wanna do a comic, so I guess this is for Annie. Sorry I’m still having Vicious feels, and I want them having a silly smoochie after their insult to each other.

So I was watching Vicious again last night, and I will never stop saying this. If Old!Modern!Bagginshield existed, it would be similar to Freddie and Stuart’s maried life.
