Summary
There are a lot of tales that are told about that day. About how the halfling held the King’s bloody gut together in his hands after Azog had been defeated. About how he sang in a language older than time, a song taught to him by his mother, and green grass grew on a mountainous hill where there had been no life in decades. About how the burglar must be a wizard, about how the King’s blood stained flowers red, about how, in the end, if it had not been for Bilbo Baggins, Thorin son of Thrain would be on a funeral pyre instead of on his throne.

Summary
Written in response to a prompt by thotinshield on Tumblr:
"my brain is filled with au where thorin is considered unattractive by dwarven standards, bilbo thinks hes handsome, and is pining after him, but thorin is in the classic situation of having to get married and dealing with lots of suitors and theres a bit in there about bilbo hearing some of the dwarrowdams gossiping about how thorin is "ugly" and bilbo being like WHAT"
Erebor needs a queen, and Thorin is set to marry a dwarrowdam to be his consort. No matter how much it breaks his heart, Bilbo takes it upon himself to ensure Thorin only receives the best and decides to scope out the candidates. Everything goes well, and he finds one that looks promising, until he uncovers a rather disturbing fact about the crop of potential consorts.

Summary
"I feel strongly that one cannot raise a child alone, especially in these conditions. When my sister's husband was lost to us, I stepped in to help her raise my nephews. It was the greatest honor of my lifetime. I will do the same for you and young Frodo, if I can."
Bilbo believed he would never see Thorin again. He also believed that Bag End would remain empty for the rest of his days.
Fortunately, fate has one more unexpected journey in store. Together, Bilbo and Frodo will learn what it is to be part of a family again.

Summary
One decade was long enough living with so many ghosts.
Bilbo Baggins needed closure and Thorin Oakenshield was going to give it to him. Now, if only he could find where in Yavannah's name they'd put that awful, stubborn dwarf. A sacred tomb shouldn't be this hard to find!
He just wanted to leave him a gift for Yule. And maybe... just maybe, FINALLY, tell him he loved him.

Summary
At first, Bilbo is very glad to hear of the new alliance between Erebor and the Shire. He is even more excited when he learns that some of his family members are coming to the Lonely Mountain to discuss the details.
That is, until the dwarves (and Thorin, who is decidedly not and never shall be his) start getting along a little too well with one of his more adventurous cousins, and Bilbo starts doubting about his place.

Bookmarker's Notes
‘’Please do not leave,’’ Thorin says quietly, and with a few steps he’s suddenly much closer to Bilbo than he was before. Bilbo thinks back to the moment that Thorin had just come back from fighting the wolves and had stood as near to him as he is doing now. ‘’I do not think my heart could take it.’’
‘’I wanted to leave for that same reason,’’ Bilbo whispers. ‘’Thorin, do not play games on a silly old hobbit. If you do not –‘’
Thorin kisses him. All in all, there are worse ways to be cut off. Still, it is very impolite and definitely improper and Bilbo plans to tell him that – once he finishes kissing Thorin, that is. It may take a while.
It slips his mind altogether, in the end.

“Yes, yes.” Balin strokes a hand down his beard, still distracted, and then abruptly says, “Say, laddie, do you really need five vases?”
“I—erm,” says Bilbo. “I suppose not?"
Or: Several dwarves keep pilfering Bilbo's home, apparently on Thorin's command. He isn't quite sure why.

Summary
Once Bilbo arrives in the haunted stillness of Bag End, his chest aches to realize the house does not feel like a home anymore. His books are still there, his furniture is still there (once he hunts it down and returns it, dusty and fingerprinted, to its correct place.) But still, the feeling of pervasive strangeness remains. He at first chalks it up to having been empty: to a year of disuse, to odd scents filtering their way in and settling like cobwebs in the absence of his usual routine, tea and baking and the drying of herbs. Perhaps, once he begins these things again, it will not feel so cavernous, so lonely, so strangely and painfully bare, like a tree stripped of its leaves come winter.
But weeks pass, and nothing changes. So maybe it’s not the emptiness, but the fact (which he is trying his very hardest to dutifully ignore) that he left his heart behind to crystalize in the caverns of the Lonely Mountain.

Summary
Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.
"Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."
"You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”
“I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”
“No, we tried that.”
“Hanging?”
“I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”
There was another pause.
“I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”
“Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”
“I can’t wait to kill you.”
Or
Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

"Did you bring me flowers, Merlin?"
"Uh, no?”
Arthur gestured to a spot on the table behind him. “What’s that, then?”
Merlin slowly twisted around to see what he was pointing at, dread curling in his gut. Primly placed on the tabletop was a bouquet of red roses.
“Er, someone else must have left them there. I have no idea where they came from,” Merlin lied awkwardly.
As if on cue, a rose fell out of his jacket pocket and Merlin's stomach dropped a thousand feet beneath the ground.

It's Yuletide, the newly appointed Court Sorcerer of Camelot is pining and his magic decides to do something about it.

Summary
“Perhaps we are doing her a favor then,” he says, pausing to chew the inside of his cheek before adding in a measured, careful voice. “I wouldn’t want to live without my love, either.”
Arthur whips around in the saddle to stare at him, eyes hard and dark, like the storm clouds building on the distant horizon. “What love? You haven’t got a love,” he snaps, like he’s the sole keeper of all Merlin’s secrets.
