Summary
He rolled onto his back, causing Thorin’s head to fall to his shoulder. The dwarven king pulled him in tighter, rubbing his cheek against Bofur’s shoulder in his sleep. Bofur smiled and began running his fingers through his hair affectionately, gently trying to wake him. Eventually, he was successful.
Thorin’s voice was rough from sleep when he lifted his head and said a single word: “Pie?”
Bofur chuckled quietly. “Yes, it would appear our esteemed consort is making apple pie.”

Summary
“Balin made an announcement, stating that we had met when I passed through the shire,” their eyes met and Bilbo flushed, recognising the truth in the lie, “That we had fallen in love, and were Ones, and were waiting till the mountain was reclaimed to be joined together. A simple lie, that they all believed.”
“So what?” Bilbo began, irate, “You expect me to go along with this. To- to make a mockery of myself as I watch you pretend your head over heels for me, when it’s clear you think of me as nothing more than dirt on the bottom of your hideous boot.”
Thorin grimaced, turning away from Bilbo as if ashamed, “Yes.”

Arranged marriages are banned in Dwarvern culture- considered a slight on Mahal himself, but in the aftermath of dragon fire, trade is necessary if Erebor wishes to see spring, so when Bilbo Baggins arrives at the mountain, expecting a loveless political marriage, he's shocked when the king pretends to be deep in love with him, and begs Bilbo to play along with it. There's an even bigger problem though, Thorin Oakenshield hates him, and Bilbo hates him right back, so acting in love may turn out to be harder than he originally thought.

Summary
Young Bilbo Baggins has a turbulent encounter with an odd creature in the snow a few years after the Fell Winter took his parents. It had been injured and seemed to be starving, and Bilbo, in a fit of Tookish foolishness, takes it in.
As it turns out, the creature is a dwarf, but dirtier than any faunt could ever hope to be, with fingernails like claws, a bearskin over his shoulders and manners like a wild beast. His frustrating guest refuses to bathe, or sleep anywhere but the floor, growls more than he talks, and keeps his many fearsome weapons constantly within reach.
And when the winter storms start to rage outside, Bilbo has no choice but to share his smial with this possibly mad and rather dangerous dwarf.
Just what has he gotten himself into?Series

Summary
Thorin falls in the Battle of the Five Armies, but shortly afterwards Bilbo is confronted with a familiar face in the halls of Erebor. This by itself is alarming, and made only more so by the realisation that he is the only one who can see Thorin.
Semi-AU as of the BotFA
(File name for this on my computer was Ghost-Thorin. Yes, that is how good my imagination is.)
