Ultimate Gigolas
Tumblr media
Long time no see, ey? Well, I'm back... at least for now, but I'm very excited to deliver this rec list! You all know that I'm a sucker for Barduil and Thilbo, but gigolas just hits different ya know? I tried to assemble a list of fandom classics as well as some lesser known ones that you really need to check out.
~H
I Walked with You (Once Upon a Dream) by The_Dwelf
|| explicit - 31.4k - completed ||
Kori is just a regular Dwarf, except, he isn't. He is Gimli's reicarnation, he has been dreaming of his past life since he was a child, and now that he's old enough to leave Erebor, he's certain of his condition. With unexpected help from a very shocked Elvenking, he will find a way to rejoin Legolas, at any costs. Angst, fluff, porn and (spoiler?) a happy ending. 
Notes: I would call this fic a lesser known classic. I've read it more than once (I've read most of these more than once) and it never fails to entertain. Maybe it's not my absolute favorite, but it's definitely a must read.
On the Origin of Half-Elves by Lumeleo
|| general - 25.1k - completed ||
Legolas has found his mate, but that doesn't always guarantee happiness. Especially not when his dwarf still holds a grudge over old insults.
Of course, even when they start to get along, things aren't necessarily easy when rumours from the Misty Mountains make Legolas ride out to look for his lost brother... and ends up with a party of dwarves following him, because you can't ever have just one dwarf.
Now if only he can get through the adventure without any angry relatives taking an axe to his vulnerable parts.
Notes: This story is sweet. I really like Legolas and Gimli's relationship, but if I'm being honest I typically read it for the other (if you've read it you know the one I mean) relationship. Love this fic a lot (as well as the series that it folds into).
We Who Are Forever by WerewolvesAreReal 
|| general - 2.3k - completed ||
There is an elf who has lived in Aglarond for nigh on five hundred years before Grilka's birth. He stays always near the inner caverns and the halls of dead dwarf-lords, and the younger dwarrows know him for his songs and sad stories, his queer habit of walking the caverns in twilit sleep and speaking to the ferns that grow by the inner ponds.
Grilka likes talking to the elf, despite his grief. Somehow it feels like talking to an old friend.
Notes: This one is similar to the first one, but I like how the ending feels different and unique. These sorts of fics always leave me in so much pain, but only the good kind of course.
The Pirates of Erebor by mckittericks
|| explicit - 25.1k - completed ||
The pirates of Erebor have long troubled the isle of Greenwood, but when they kidnap an elven lady for ransom, they don't get exactly what, or rather who, they bargained for.
Notes: I'm an intense sucker for a good pirate fic. While the style of this fic means that I'm not constantly rereading it, it's lovely to pick up again and relearn about this different world and its twists and turns.
A Nest for Birds to Sit and Sing by plinys
|| general - 1.9k - completed ||
Within hours of arriving that camp, a hierarchy had sorted itself out among the troops, one that put Gimli’s troop near the bottom of the list and Troop 5126 at the top, though that was mostly because they had high-tech GPS’s and went to some fancy prep school that celebrities sent their kids too.
Notes: This one isn't romantic at all, but the innocence of their relationship is adorable, and makes you wonder what came after for them both.
A (sappy) Love Story by Racheluntilthe_veryend
|| teen - 1.9k - completed ||
They had been married for over forty years and together for longer, and at 68 Gimli still stared at his husband sometimes with puzzlement and amazement. This man loved him.
(Cutesy old!Gigolas because who doesn't need this in their lives?? Modern!Au)
Notes: It wasn't on purpose that these two were back to back, but they are almost the exact opposite from each other, and it's more than a little ironic. Still, I adore this fic and all it has to offer, I hope you read it cause it's lovely.
This Breath We Share by katajainen
|| teen - 7.7k - completed ||
Five times Legolas kissed Gimli – and the one time Gimli kissed him back.
But is any kiss ever 'just a kiss'?
Notes: Full blown classic. Like seriously, it's adorable. Just go read it.
Love Always, Yours Forever by butterflyslinky
|| teen - 7k - completed ||
Tauriel, Fili and Kili pull a prank on Gimli and Legolas, who respond in kind. Things go a little too far.
Notes: This may be one of my favorites (I adore fics where Gimli gets to have a relationship with Kili and Fili). It's just too cute and I will love it forever and always.
Rearrange by smilebackwards 
|| general - 10.6k - completed ||
Prince Fili’s betrothal to the elf prince of Mirkwood causes Gimli many problems, not least of which, he’s beginning to strongly suspect that Legolas may be his One.
Notes: This one and the next one might have to be my favorites, although I'm struggling to decide between them. Either way this fic is amazing and I have nothing but good things to say.
Hearts Will As Hearts Must by determamfidd 
|| general - 10.4k - completed ||
The Dwarves are returning to Erebor reclaimed, and the elves uphold their promise to safeguard the caravans as they pass through Mirkwood.
One particular Dwarf has wit and spark enough to match Legolas Greenleaf - perhaps even outmatch him.
It's hate at first sight.
Notes: This fic is just... I can't with it, it's lovely and I adore it so very much, like you have no idea how much I love it. If you haven't read it (what are you doing???) drop everything you're doing and read it. I swear you won't regret it.
That concludes the list! I hope that you enjoyed this and that you check the stories out, all these authors deserve so much love, so shower them in that. If you have any recommendations and such, please just let me know!

Bagginshield Fic Recs!
I've been wanting to do a bagginshield fic recs for a long time now so here are my favorite fics so far for this pairing! I will be adding on new ones as I go ❤
Fix-It AUs :
A Shot in the Dark by Silver_pup — 213.2k words
Summary: When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in his old bed in his old home in his old body. Is this death? Or a trick of magic? Either way, Bilbo recognizes a second chance when he sees one, and this time his adventure with Thorin is going to go a bit differently.
An Expected Journey by MarieJacquelyn — 294.5k words
Summary:
“I just wish…”
“What do you wish?”
“I wish I could have changed it all.”
For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?
Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.
Discovering Mr Baggins by Eareniel — 94.4k words
Summary: A.K.A. The Quest for Erebor:
The story of a Hobbit, told through the eyes of the dwarves.
Alternate Universes (Canon Divergence):
The Time for Home by Drenagon — 211.8k words
Summary: Bilbo Baggins doesn't fit in in the Shire. He's not a normal hobbit. That doesn't bother him.
Having his warnings ignored? Trying to help those who will not help themselves?
That bothers him.
The Color of Possibility by lindoreda — 17k words
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.
The Nine Lives of Bilbo Baggins by captain (theoddoodisnude) — 15.3k words
Summary: He's not scared, but rather resigned. He doesn't want to die, not when he knows that it will be permanent, but he doesn't regret his actions. He's died many times on this journey; first for his Company, and then for people he could proudly call friends, who then turned into family.
And now Bilbo will die for them again.
For the first time in his life, he will also die for love. 
Call You Home by northerntrash — 12k words
Summary: In which the Company are entirely too nosy about matters that are supposed to be a secret, and Bilbo learns that being concerned about propriety is overrated when you could be making friends instead.
The Naming of Hobbits by Margo_Kim — 9.7k words**
Summary: There's a certain point where you can no longer ask someone what their name is. Thorin isn't sure exactly when that point is, but he knows that it's probably some time before the person in question saves your life. On the far side of the Misty Mountains, Thorin realizes that he never quite caught the first part of Mr. Baggins' name, and he finds that it's astonishingly harder to learn than he would have thought. Fili, Kili, and Dwalin are no help whatsoever.
**I literally didn't laugh this hard in a long while. Definitely worth a read! (And another, let's be honest).
Post BotFA AUs:
A Cultural Misunderstanding (series) by Lindzzz — 96k words
Summary: In which Thorin pushes, and Bilbo doesn't know how to handle emotions and finds himself engaged without realizing it.
(A fluffy "everyone lives" marriage AU)
The Riven Crown by BeautifulFiction — 254.3k words
Summary: ‘We may have won the battle, but I fear the war with winter is just beginning.’
The aftermath of war is no laughing matter. Those who died must be honoured, those who are wounded must be healed, and those who remain need food and clothing, peace and sanctuary. With Thorin's life hanging in the balance, it is up to Bilbo and the rest of the Company to rule the rag-tag remnants of Erebor in his place.
Then there is the matter of the gold...
Can Bilbo save both king and kingdom, or is Erebor destined to fall deeper into ruin?
All The Rivers Sound In My Body by pibroch (littleblackdog) — 5.7k words
Summary: As much as he might like to cut a natty figure in a proper waistcoat and trousers with a reasonable inseam, Bilbo knew there were many more important things to bother with at the moment.
Rebuilding an entire dwarven kingdom, for one. And airing out the stink of dragon would be nice as well.
An Unexpected Proposal by Eareniel — 100k words
Summary: As Bilbo sat smoking in his empty hobbit hole, he couldn’t help but wonder – when did his life become so boring? Or better yet – when did his old life stop being enough?
He suspected the answer to that question lay somewhere around the time when he had refused Thorin Oakenshield’s offer of marriage.
Mother-Tongue by northerntrash — 24.9k words
Summary: Forget-me-not: a small flower, with four petals, which are normally found in shades of blue with a pink or white centre. These are traditional flowers of intent in the Shire, used to express true love, and remembrance.
In which Bilbo plans to leave Erebor, and Thorin tries to understand why.
Modern AUs:
For This by northerntrash — 8k words
Summary: Thorin Durin had lived in his new flat for approximately eighty four minutes when things started to go terribly, terribly wrong. The wrongness came in the form of a package, delivered to his door, wrapped in brown paper and string, with a small tag wishing him a very sincere welcome to the building.
Just To Be by northerntrash — 22.2k words
Summary: Thorin hadn’t really wanted to go on holiday. That was why he hadn’t been on one for over a decade – not, despite what his siblings might say, because he had problems letting go of work and letting other people have control over their own hotel, which definitely wasn’t his entire life, no matter what the opinions of his family might have been on the matter.
In which people go on holiday, and find a little bit of home.
The making of a story by northerntrash — 16k words
Summary: When Bilbo finds a case of old family photographs, he becomes determined to find the original owners: what he does not expect is to become quite so involved in their lives, or that those photographs should prove quite so important.
One-sided conversations by northerntrash — 94.9k words
Summary: "Thank you for listening," Thorin said, getting to his feet. "I hope to be able to return the favour, one day."
The man on the bed didn't respond, but since he'd been in a coma for longer than Thorin had known him, that wasn't entirely surprising.
Candid by northerntrash — 42.3k words
Summary: Thorin wasn't entirely sure why there was a six-foot candid photograph of him hanging in this exhibition, but he was going to wring the neck of whoever had put it there.
In which Bilbo is a photographer, Thorin an accidental model, and Gandalf just likes to make trouble for everyone.
Nothing Gold Can Stay by perkynurples — 296.3k words
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?
Some Magical Occurence by Drenagon — 9.5k words
Summary: Bilbo could use some magic if he's going to get the annual Christmas event at Goldmine Books to run as planned.
Instead he has Bofur, Ori and a serious case of building panic.
Then the Durins arrive.
Plan B by Drenagon — 85.7k words
Summary: Plan B: an alternative strategy; a contingency plan, devised for an outcome other than the expected plan.
Or, sending an unqualified temp to act as Thorin Oakenshield's PA because no one qualified can put up with him.
(He'd say they can't meet his standards. Of course he would.)
Meet Bilbo Baggins. He just became Plan B.
idylls of the king by aerospaces — 16.1k words
Summary: Thorin a single parent/uncle, Bilbo babysits. Fili and Kili are a handful. Essentially NANNY AU where Thorin is a perturbed Detective Inspector navigating through life.
A Remover of Obstacles by MistakenMagic — 371.7k words**
Summary: Dis often chided her older brother for being a misanthropist. She did it so often it had become a term of endearment. It was true that Thorin struggled with people; he struggled to form and maintain relationships. Dr. Grey had diagnosed him with this and Thorin hadn’t the heart to tell him this wasn’t a symptom of his PTSD, it was a symptom of his personality. He exercised a sense of apathy with almost everyone he met… But Bilbo was different. Thorin actually found himself wanting to know more about him.
** This is honestly a favorite of mine. I can't begin to describe how amazing this fic is. If you have the time, go for it! I promise it will change you for good.
This is all I have for now, but please know that I'm currently reading new ones and I'll be adding them onto this list very soon!
Have a nice read! (And hopefully, with a nice cup of tea).

I need Thilbo fic recs that recognize the cultural differences between hobbits and dwarves. Because dwarves are loud and affectionate species. They slap each other on the back, they hug, the weird headbutt thing Dwalin and Balin do, they make jokes about their friends. They show their affections loudly. They aren’t afraid to show off their love for someone. Dwarves are a proud race and they show that quite often. But hobbits are a more quiet kind of love. Hand holding, forehead kisses, hand kisses, laying your head in their shoulder, falling asleep while they read to you, bouquets of flowers, picnics in a secluded area with all your favorite foods, baking together, reading together, admiring the stars kind of love. Hobbits are much more reserved than Dwarves. They take pride in their hosting skills and gardens. And I NEED to see Bilbo and Thorïn bumbling around trying to follow each others courting traditions and failing miserably RIGHT NOW.

The great city is in the process of rebuilding, and Thorin is settling into his role as his king. Word is getting around that their king has asked an outsider - a hobbit! - to be his consort. Can their burgeoning relationship survive the pressures of kingship and cultural misunderstandings? --- This fic carries on in continuity from my one-shot The King and the Hobbit. It's part of a series of one-shots or short pieces that exist within the same continuity and in the same timeline. Check the previous fic in this collection for the story of how the two of them got together.
Excerpt:
One evening, a few weeks into his stay in Erebor, Bilbo sat hunched over a heavy metal desk, perched high on a pair of cushions, his hairy feet dangling off the edge of the chair. He’d been hard at work for hours, drafting what would one day become the first chapter of their fated quest. 
Thorin approached him from behind and set his hand on Bilbo’s shoulder. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to his temple. “I’m going to sleep. Join me when you’re ready. Don’t hurry on my account. Your candlelight does not bother me.” 
“Mhmm, be there soon,” replied Bilbo, his brow furrowed in concentration as he mouthed the words of the sentence he was trying to get just right. “Ah, Thorin, Thorin…” he looked up suddenly and swiveled around.
Thorin had just finished ducking out of his embroidered tunic. The flickering light of the roaring hearth set into the wall and the dim glow of the sunstones huddled up against Bilbo’s plants tossed flattering shadows across the thick muscle of his back. It also highlighted the pure white scar tissue rimmed in silver where Azog’s blade had sliced him through. Elvish medicine had saved his life, but he would always bear the mark of his nemesis and feel the wound echoed in the movement of his body. 
Thorin looked over his shoulder and lifted a brow when Bilbo called his name. “Mhmm?”
Bilbo found himself staring. He still wasn’t used to seeing the dwarven king in a state of undress, especially in so casual and intimate a moment. A physique such as Thorin’s was unknown among hobbits, which went some of the way towards explaining why Bilbo had never found a lover among his own kind. There was much more there, of course, but the physical nature of his attraction had caught him off-guard more than once since he’d found the courage to acknowledge it. 
Thorin noticed Bilbo’s wandering gaze and turned around. He made a bit of a cheeky show of leaning up against the wall next to the hearth, as if aware that the firelight did much to flatter his body. 
Bilbo swallowed, twitched his nose and tap-tapped his pen against a spare bit of paper he used to blot the ink. “Do you…” he cleared his throat, “...do you think there’s someone who could teach me Khuzdul? I should like to add some dwarvish script to my book. I’ve also heard that Smaug left the archive virtually untouched and there are many wonderful and ancient tomes that are still in good condition. But I can’t read any of them. And that…” he rapped his pen again, “... is a speeeeecial kind of torture.”
Thorin was a stoic man, capable of very subtle expressions. But the delight at hearing Bilbo’s request was immediate and obvious. He smiled, his eyes lighting up as warm as hearthfire. He crossed the great chamber to Bilbo’s side and reached out to cup his cheek. “I will send for a scholar from the Iron Hills to be your tutor. You will have the advantage of learning under a master of languages.” 
“That’s really not necessary. I can muddle along with some references and a helper. I don’t want you to go to a lot of trouble,” Bilbo replied. He felt the tips of his ears burn red, and he was suddenly grateful for the mess of his hair and the low shimmer of light.

Behold! 'Tis I, the mysterious Bagginshield Cryptid, returned from the deep woods and here to visit you with another Bagginshield question. . . What is your favourite headcanon?
Best of all cryptids!
It’s tough to answer, seeing as there are so many. But my overall favorite headcannon is a good ole’ “no one dies/everyone lives” trope. Thorin and Bilbo eventually get married and have a lovely life together. THAT is my favorite!
Usually, I’m sad, but okay with character death. I have never gotten over Thorin Oakenshield’s death. I read The Hobbit when I turned seven, twenty years ago, and I still have not recovered. What is a better way to feel better than to pretend like it never happens?
One headcannon I like, is that Thorin was so tired after the battle of five armies that he faked his death and lived a simple life in the shire with Bilbo.
The possibilities are endless with Thorin living. All of my favorite head cannons can reside within this topic.
Jealousy: Thorin is now king and needs a consort, so Bilbo thinks he’s going to lose Thorin to some dwarrow dam. BAM. Love it.
Cultural misunderstandings: Bilbo doesn’t understand dwarf courting and accidentally becomes engaged to Thorin (or vise verse).
Mutual pining: Bilbo refuses to admit his feelings because he is but a simple hobbit, and how could Thorin ever care for him like that…while Thorin feels like he hurt Bilbo too much in the past to be worthy of his love!
The possibilities. Are. Limitless!
This was genuinely the best and worst question to ask me and I love it, dearest cryptid! I can go on for hours about it, so thank you <3

Drop some AUs that's you love! I want to read all the things >:)
P.s. hope your day is going well! Give your sweet pup a good scratch behind the ears for me 💜
Hullo lovely!
Ahhhhh!! This is a great ask, okay here we go!!
In June and June and More June by Dragonslaeyr:
"When Bilbo agreed on a trip to Erebor to clear up the last of his mother's estate, what he didn't count on was falling in love with its gorgeous landscape, the fiercely proud people, and yes, the delicious food. Now if only he could figure out why everyone was acting so strangely around his neighbours..."
- Whisper of the Heart by @abliafina-18782
"When Bilbo discovers all of his library books have been checked out by the same guy, a Thorin Oakenshield, maybe it will finally give him the push for adventure he's always wanted."
-
Love-In-Idleness by perkynurples
"Taking Bilbo Baggins, a successful movie actor who is only just getting used to the perks and intricacies of becoming A Face People Want To See, and putting him together with Thorin Oakenshield, with his very traditional (read: slightly backwards) ideas about what constitutes Real Art and Real Talent, might very well be viewed as just some clothead’s idea of a joke. But there are jokes, and then there are carefully calculated risks the size of controversial reproductions of classic Shakespearean plays - for Bilbo, it is the chance of a lifetime to prove himself to all those who have ever deemed him too one-dimensional to even attempt stage, while Thorin has the opportunity to get out of the rut that’s been hindering his career for so long now, and shine in a role worthy of his talent once again. That is if the two learn how to share the same space for more than ten minutes without wanting to tear each other’s hair out. The course of true love never did run smooth, after all…"
-
Dragonhearted by @lordoftherazzles
"The grandson of a greedy king and his dwarvish companions fall under the curse of literal dragon sickness - at least for Thorin. Bestowed by Smaug the Terrible, an enchanter whose other form is also that of a dragon, the vilest of fire drakes from the north, is seeking riches at the end of a hard trial for the prince of Erebor. Doomed to live his life as a ‘not-quite-dwarf’ and ‘not-quite-dragon’, Thorin and his companions are forgotten by the world around them.
The decades roll by and the curse shows no sign of lifting, for Thorin was tasked with proving that his heart was worth saving and that he would not be corrupted by gold lust like his grandfather. All seems bleak until the arrival of one quirky little hobbit of the Shire with his mother’s stubborn streak and his father’s gentility. Bilbo Baggins, a prisoner of this draconic beast, soon begins to show Thorin just what a heart worth saving feels like."
-
Bookbinder//Songwriter by @lordoftherazzles
"Thorin Durinul has always dreamed of making it to the big leagues in the music industry. Ered Luin’s newest citizen, Bilbo Baggins, an aspiring writer and all-around bookworm, has recently taken ownership of the mountain town’s dusty old corner shop, now, Bag End Books. They weren’t looking for love, but now they can’t imagine tackling life’s challenges without each other."
-
...There are so, so many more, but I haven't read half the fics I want to, and these are a good place to start if you're looking for AUs!
Let me know what you think!! 💛

ForTheLoveOfDeadDove's The Hobbit "Dark" Smut Rec List Part 1
Thank you @lindariellanthir for being so supportive and encouraging. This rec list is dedicated to our mutual shared enthusiasm. 😈
This smut rec list is primarily made up of DARK, dead dove, smut fics. That includes things like Durincest, dubcon/noncon, underage, etc. Skedaddle if that is not your thing.
If you take the time to read any of these, please leave a kudos or comment for the author. EVERY ONE OF THESE FICS are from 2012-2015. There's nothing better than dusting off a rare tome and reminding the author that their old works are still loved.
Every fic on here is explicit in rating and sourced from Ao3 unless otherwise stated.
Coveted by DurinsPrinces - 1 /4 chapters - Fíli is called to discuss his lessons with Thorin. Needless to say, they find something far more interesting to talk about.
Content: Thorin/Fili, underage, freak-nasty sex all around, Durincest
FTLODD's review: When I say this is hands down the best smut I've ever read, I freaking mean it. It all comes down to the tension that is brilliantly portrayed between nephew and uncle. Though technically incomplete, we are gifted with - as the author states - '13k of pure garbage' (one man's trash, so on and so forth). It works as a stand alone just fine. Guh, it just turns me to goo.
In Which Kili Makes A Good Choice by hasbean - 2 chapters - A fill for the glorious Hobbit Kink Meme; Thorin was Kili's first.
Content: Thorin/Kili, Thorin/Fili, coming of age, Thorin being a good uncle, Durincest
FTLODD's review: One of my favorite tropes, Thorin ceremonially beds his nephews in a coming-of-age ritual. This is tender as well as hot, and we get the bonus content of a flashback to Fili's coming-of-age in the second chapter as well.
You wouldn't think about sending them home... by Miralana - 1 chapter - There is an edge to Thorin's movements every time he lays his mouth or his hands on Kíli, and Kíli knows that his uncle would hate nothing more than to see him get hurt or killed.
Content: Thorin/Kili, tension, Durincest
FTLODD's review: THE TENSION. Pent up Thorin does it for me, what can I say. The smut is fantastic.
Private Night by twodwarves_oneeagle - 1 chapter -Written for the prompt: I want Kili in Thorin’s lap, riding him. Make it as filthy as possible, anon.
Content: Thorin/Kili, needy/desperate Kili, surprise voyeurism, Durincest
FTLODD's review: What I love most about this fic is the surprise little tender ending, smutty as it is.
If I Have Given Offense by pherede - 1 chapter - Kili commits a grave transgression, and by the ancient laws of the Dwarves he must be punished. Durincest, dubcon, bondage, humiliation, public sex.
Content: Dark, Durincest, dubcon, bondage, humiliation, public sex
FTLODD's review: I obviously ADORE sex-world-building, and this fic hits all the right notes in that regard. It's twisted from start to finish.
Beginnings and Odd Endings by Book_of_Kells - Chapter 5 - First Night AU - Dark Thorin and angry Sigrid.... Lots of sex.
Content: Dub-con/non-con/rape, primae noctis, Dark-Fuck-King Thorin
FTLODD's review: I FOUND IT I CAN'T BELIEVE I FOUND IT I FOUND THE PRIMAE NOCTIS FIC!!!! Written from Sigrid's point of view, her struggle with bowing to tradition but ultimately enjoying what Thorin does to her is JUST *chef's kiss*. And the potential paternity implication at the end is a delicious cherry on top. This is dark smut at it's finest.
A Moment More by pherede - 1 chapter - Finally in the safety of Beorn's home, omega Fili goes into heat. Fortunately Dwalin is there to take care of him.vExcept that Dwalin is an aggressive, experienced alpha who wants everything Fili has to give. And Fili has a lot to learn. If only his inexperience weren't exactly what Dwalin likes most...
Content: Dwalin/Fili, omegaverse dynamics, omega heats, sex as torture lol
FTLODD's review: Poor, poor Fili. Like watching a lion toy with a mouse. You may be noticing a theme with tension going on here... By the time you're done reading this, you will feel as exhausted as Fili, but in a very good way, just like Fili.
I Will Do The Honors by orphan_account - 1 chapter - You can make yourself at home away from the camp, if need be." The voice of Gandalf interrupts Bilbo's instinctive day dreams about his front possibly being pressed up against a tree and one of the more muscular, larger Dwarves in the company crowding against him from behind. Oh, that would just be lovely…
Content: Bagginshield, omegaverse dynamics, heats, Thorin is an asshole and it's sexy
FTLODD's review: One of my favorites, what can I say. Thorin is a prick, but Bilbo is fucking sassy, and it's all very hot. Enjoy.
Possession by bluehawthorn - 1 chapter - Bard arrives at Erebor and is met with a version of Thorin he is very much unused to. Fill for kink meme prompt: AU where only Dwarves have A/B/O dynamics. Established Thorin/Bard. Normally, Bard tops. But when alpha-Thorin goes to rut, he tops the hell out of very confused Bard. non-con, dub-con is fine. ++++ knotting!
Content: Rare-pair Thorin/Bard, knotting cycles, ruts
FTLODD's review: Honestly this could go on a regular smut list because it's not so much noncon/dubcon as much as it's like.... surprise!con. Bard's totally into it. Nevertheless, it's hot as hell, and next to Thorin/Ori, this is my favorite rare pair.
Goldlust by twodwarves_oneeagle - 1 chapter - After defeating Smaug and taking back Erebor, Thorin claims what is his.
Content: Bagginshield, Rough sex
FTLODD's review: Without the fic explicitly stating it, I consider this to be a quintessential Dragon-sickness smut fic. It literally doesn't mention it anywhere, it just screams it in my opinion.
Playing Favorites by waldorph - 1 chapter - In which Thorin is pretty sure he's getting it, and Kili knows better.
Content: Thorin/Kili, Durincest, bratty Kili, pent up Thorin
FTLODD's review: This one just makes me blush throughout. Thorin fighting his base urges but ultimately giving in is a kink I have, okay?
That's all for now, but DEFINITELY not all. Stay tuned for more recs!

“Beauty is not skin deep, Thorin. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” Though the outside was just as desirable, and a little exotic, anyway. - Dragonhearted, Chapter 12

Happy fic rec friday! Tag, template.
Mother-Tongue by northerntrash (@northerntrash)
Fandom: The Hobbit Rated: General Audiences Warnings/tags: Flower Language, Getting Together, Misunderstandings Relationships: Bilbo/Thorin Author summary:
Forget-me-not: a small flower, with four petals, which are normally found in shades of blue with a pink or white centre. These are traditional flowers of intent in the Shire, used to express true love, and remembrance. In which Bilbo plans to leave Erebor, and Thorin tries to understand why.
Notes: This is so touching and so angsty and so sweet. And I love all of the little aspects of the plot. Absolutely lovely.

here's another one of my self indulgent bagginshield/sarah kinsley song association.
(the first one is here but i’ll tag all future fic recs with the song association tag below)
*・゚゚・*:.。.,.。.:*゚:*:✼✿  
Safe and Distant by Lindzzz
THIS STORY ��
literally was the second bagginshield fic i read
by far and to this day my most favorite depiction of bilbo baggins of all the fics i’ve read
the back and forth between Bilbo at present day and the snippets of moments during their travels was so fun to read
the moment i went giggling and kicking my feet reading this fic, i knew i was officially so deep into this fandom
THE BATTLEMENTS “VISIT” SCENE ican’t---
song: over + under
“you are the ocean of endless possibility, surrounding surrounding surrounding me”
the way this is literally how bilbo thinks of thorin even when his denial was at its strongest really should say something.
honestly considered a few other songs for this fic but the way this song perfectly encapsulates feeling lost and no longer belonging in a place you used to know so well was just *chefs kiss*
“back in my hometown, i wonder if i’m out of place”
and literally the entire second verse!!!
the bridge also really fits the story’s climax when bilbo finally makes The Decision

✨️FIC ROUND-UP 1✨️
In the future this will be more about fics I recently read but for the first one, it will be some all time favorites. Fandoms are all over the place even if this is still a lotr/hobbit focused blog.
The Hobbit
all that shine as moonstone leave a discernible mark by kay_cricketed
After the Battle of Five Armies, Thorin Oakenshield is determined to secure Bilbo's place in the world, even if he must make him a husband and a widower in the same hour to do so.
(Devastating to this day but so painfully good)
Between One Breath and the Other by victoriousscarf
At a very young age, Ori had been told that dwarves loved once and forever.
While his mother sat behind him, braiding his hair slowly he found himself tilted his head back and asking her how he could possibly know. She smiled, hands sure as she plaited his hair. “You’ll know,” she said, fingers gentle. “You’ll see them one day and you’ll know.”
(The whole series is so good and really got me into the ship)
Until You See The Light by Lapin
Fíli and Ori have broken no promises. Fíli did not try to force a marriage on one unwilling, and Ori did not run from Erebor like a thief in the night. And yet, the two of them are paying for the crimes of their family. Somehow or another, they must find a way to make a marriage work, in between the politics and the old hurts.
Smaug never came to Erebor's door, but then, there are greater monsters than dragons in this world.
(Anything by Lapin in any fandom you like is gold tbh, but this one in particular has such amazing world building in it. It's unfinished and I don't know how likely it is the author will return to it)
SGA - Stargate Atlantis
Five Impossible Things Rodney McKay Did Before Breakfast by laceymcbain
Rodney hates that this is the day he’s going to disappoint everyone, and it’s little consolation he probably won’t be around to deal with the fall-out.
(Or the one where Rodney tricks Sheppard into leaving him while he reconfigures the shield when Grounding Station #3 is going to blow.)
(One fic I have read so many times I could probably quote it)
freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose by synecdochic
Because the meaning of life is "do the next thing", and we all carry the seeds of the past into our future. Futurefic, Rodney-centric
(The classic. I remember reading this in like 2010 on livejournal, I still love it, major character death warning, this is a fic about moving on and grief)
Edges by rageprufrock
"Dr. McKay--tell us about Atlantis."
(This one hurts, same as above)
DC
Exit Strategy by smilingbackwards
Batman needs a Robin and Batman has a Robin. Tim is just extraneous now, vestigial. He’s a bandage over a healed wound. He doesn’t know what he’s hanging on to.
Or: Tim didn’t expect his exit strategy from the Batfamily to involve quite so much bonding time with Damian over Wayne Enterprises bureaucracy.
(Fundamentally influenced how I think of Tim Drake:
"So much about them is so similar that Tim thinks Bruce has always treated Tim a little like a reflection of himself.
But Tim isn’t Bruce. He didn’t grow up angry, hellbent on justice any way he could see to get it. Tim grew up lonely, without even the memory of being loved to sustain him. What he wants from life isn’t the same as what Bruce wants. Tim wants connection. He wants to be thought of, however fleetingly. He wants someone, anyone, to love him.")
allopreen by envysparkler
Tim retreats to Titans Tower after he’s hit with Ivy’s pollen.
(Replace this with any other fics from this author, the perfect mix of hurt/comfort)
Asimov’s Integral by sElkieNight60
Tim is an unwanted android, a Robo-Child. After being sent back by his parents, his last and only hope rests in the hands of a man still grieving the loss of his own son.
“I didn’t ask for a replacement,” Bruce barked. “I don’t want a replacement! You can go back and tell the RCO I don’t need a replacement.”
Bruce Wayne didn’t want him. If Bruce Wayne didn’t want him, he’d be sent back and dismantled.
(Another amazing DC author, again so many good fics, Tim angst is best angst)
Brooklyn 99
the little ones are climbing up the walls by cashewdani
Her name was next on the list. That’s how she became Tess’ godmother.
(Fav b99 fic)
This round-up is heavily inspired by @captainkirkk 's weekly fic round-up, I think it's a very cool concept.
