Summary
When Severus Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack, he expects it to be the end.
Instead, he wakes in Godric’s Hollow on the night Lily Potter dies—years younger, with full memory of everything that followed. This time, he doesn’t step back. This time, he takes the child.
With Harry Potter in his care, Snape sets out to change a future he knows too well—one shaped by war, manipulation, and a boy raised to die. But protecting Harry means stepping outside both the Dark Lord’s reach and Dumbledore’s design, and into alliances Snape has never trusted.

Summary
Bilbo felt exhilarated, like flying on an eagle without the fear of falling. It was more than the thrill of a tremendously good jig, or kissing cheeks with Daisy Cotton behind the Party Tree – more than stealing down a long dark tunnel to cross verbal swords with a dragon. Bigger than fear, warmer than sneaking unseen through goblin-tunnels with the aid of a magic ring, was this thing between them now, a handful of coals cradled close against the winter wind. Something precious, something lasting, if only they could take good care of it.

Summary
So it went: the mountain was reclaimed, and the kingdom was reborn in war.
There were elves, dwarves, men, horses, orcs, wargs, running, fighting, yelling, dying. Bilbo, too, ran, but he had eyes for one thing and one thing only:Thorin.
And he found him, there, on Ravenhill, battling the great white orc, right where Bilbo knew and dreaded he would be. And as he dreaded, as he feared like he had never feared anything before, Thorin was struck down before his eyes, and Azog raised his blade for the killing blow.
Bilbo didn’t even have to think. He slipped off the ring, and he charged.
Or:
After the battle, all seems like it's ended better than anyone could possibly have hoped for. The company is alive, and Thorin and Bilbo are soon to be married. But all is not the happy ending it seems.
Something is wrong with Bilbo.

Summary
When Bilbo puts himself between Thorin and Azog's blade, his mithril shirt protecting them both, it isn't long before some dwarves whisper that 'Oakenshield' might not be the best epithet for their king anymore. But for Bilbo, barred from Thorin's sight since the battle, this new epithet only adds to the sting. Spending his days caring for the recovering princes, Bilbo wonders how much more of this he can take, not suspecting his place at the center of a silent divide in the company.
