thank u tea @its-tea-time-darling for tagging me 💛

btw to those who don't know, im @newtmsa — this is my sideblog because for some reason when i post from my main, nothing shows up in the tag search :/

coincidentally, all of these are for the maze runner lol, so im just gonna go ahead and tag @fatigay, @mandolinearts and @vtforpedro because i'd like you to use this opportunity to self promo simply because yall make me fall in love with words with every fic u write 💛 now u don't have to read the rest of this post 😅

so!! my favourite five (5) fics that i've written:

1. to invent a language; M, newtmas, 67k

Two best friends, inseparable since the day they met, return from their road trip on different days. One moves out of town with his sister immediately, the other locks himself inside the house as soon as he arrives. The town in question is called Haven and, staying true to its small town workings, erupts in gossip.

A decade and a half later, it's an ordinary day of tending to plants and navigating workshops for Newt. Quite ordinary, indeed, until the Garden's doorbell chimes and an unexpected guest voices his presence.

Thomas always had a knack for turning Newt's world upside down, after all.

this fic is absolutely my best work and my most favourite thing i've ever written. my baby. my fucking cinnamon apple. i poured my heart into it and had SO much fun and aha! moments while writing it. it explores complicated feelings, the meaning of family, healing, forgiveness and love. if you'd like to read only one of my works, i'd say you should read this one.

2. when the red sun sets; M, newtmas, 8.2k

Safe Haven is safe in the way that they don't have to run anymore - from WCKD, from the Cranks and the Flare. They've got no outside threats to run from, but what happens when the threats come from within? What happens when those who have never known safety arrive to the safest place on Earth, and what happens when they are Newt and Thomas?

this one i word barfed from my heart too. it was very unexpected and probably the most cathartic piece of writing i've ever done. as the summary suggests, it's about healing from severe trauma together.

3. in the tide of a day; M, newtmas, 4.4k

Among gentle rolling hills where colorful meadows give way to lush evergreen forests and woods adorned with vibrantly colored leaves in all shades of red and gold, there is a small brick cottage with a garden so beautiful, it would turn middle-aged women set on seeing their lawns on the front pages of notable gardening magazines green with envy. In this lovely little cottage live Newt and Thomas, runaway WICKED mutants turned superheroes out of the sense of obligation and necessity. On their long-awaited day off, and as often as they can spare the time, they use their powers, bestowed to them as weapons, to shape their home to their liking.

superheroes au!! one of the fluffiest things i've ever written. alternatively: newt and thomas get some mf Rest. there's baking and cuddling and gardening and general domestic stuff. they're in love your honor <3

4. tell me what i feel is real (tell me that you feel it too); T, newtmas, 7k

Everything starts with a realization that maybe it's not usual to draw your best friend all the time.

or, Newt is a senior in college, Thomas a junior, and they've been sharing a dorm room for three years. Feelings Occur, but they refuse to admit it. Fun!

the summary says it all tbh. i still love this fic because it brought me back from my writing slump and came with the gift of bonding over it with sami (@newtedison) to whom this fic is dedicated to <3

5. ice cold but i'm still melting; T, sonyarriet, 1.9k

It is winter all year round, but Sonya finds herself experiencing spring.

this is a canon compliant (somewhat) slice of life fic where sonya and harriet fall in love in their maze <3 minimal angst, it's mostly fluff.

aaand because im proud of where this one is going, but it's still incomplete:

For Brighter Horizons; M, brenderesa, sonyarriet, newtmas, 18.5k (so far)

The world is unjust, especially to those who call themselves Mutants and Androids, but it shouldn't be. It doesn't have to be. When a revolution is set into motion, a chain of events caused by (mostly) chance meetings will show to Brenda and Teresa, Sonya and Harriet, and Newt and Thomas all the little reasons why the world they're living in is worth fighting for.

superpowers au!! mutants and androids and elves and other non-humans!! it's mostly action/adventure, planning and executing a revolution kind of a fic which is still mostly character driven! there will be three (3) chapters total, the first one is published and it is a brenderesa chapter! next one will be sonyarriet (it's currently in the works!) and the final chapter will be newtmas <3 im very excited to have more time to finish it, ive been having a hell lot of fun with it!!

tagging: @00250, @singt0me, @newtedison, @persnickett, @astralpenguin, @subjecta5newtella, @itsthemxze, @ambientdinostars, @newtswonderland, @filismaze, @dont-bee-shy, @seaselkie, @comebacknow, and for the rest i don't remember your urls im sorry 😭 but, i love reading works from every single one of you guys and i feel like you should shout about ur fic from the rooftops to the entire world. just a thought 💛 ofc no pressure tho!!

#newtmas #sonyarriet #brenderesa #the maze runner #tmr fanfiction #tmr #angtmr #love yourselves!!! promote ur incredible works!!!!#mwah 💛

Hey Fellowship of the Fics! Please welcome @vtforpedro !! 👏🥳 Lisa decided to share her thoughts and impressions on her fic: on a rainy afternoon.

Question 1: What about this story stands out from other stories with the same trope(s)?

There are tropes within tropes here, but I do find that the overall atmosphere of a rainy spring day, a less angry Thorin who even invites Bilbo to read to him, with only pipe smoke and the scents of Beorn's garden surrounding them, to be particularly peaceful.

Question 2: What was the most emotionally-charged scene to write?

Thorin lets some of his emotions show here, defeat and sadness for how the quest has gone, peril he never wanted anyone to endure, and Bilbo's desire to keep his mind away from those thoughts.

Question 3: Do you have dreams for a sequel/spin-off from this story? If so, what would it be about?

I don't, really! But I do love to imagine that Bilbo keeps reading dwarvish tales to Thorin under the mountain... :)

Question 4: I feel like every writer has an "original intention" for how a story's going to progress. Has this story stuck pretty well to that original intention, and if not how has it veered away?

This was given as a prompt and I immediately had the story in my mind's eye. It stuck pretty close to what I first imagined, which is funny because I either follow prompts perfectly or I go wildly 'off script.' Very fun either way!

Question 5: If there was a Dedication section for this fic, who would you dedicate it to?

angelsallfire and my mom :D

If you haven’t read this story yet, go back up to the top and be sure to click the link. Also if you haven’t seen Lisa’s works before, here are some other fics that she has done that are worth checking out as well:

💕 get to know your mutuals!! when you get this, it means someone wants to know more about you, so list 5 things about yourself you want your followers to know. they can be as simple as your age or as complex as your deepest fear, as long as it’s something you’re comfortable with sharing. when you’re done, send this to 10 people you want to get to know better!! 🥺🌼💕

Thanks for the tag @theresonlyzuul ! <3

My five in no particular order.

1.) I’ve had my lip piercing for so long that I look weird without it.

2.) One time in university I had to write a paper discussing the similarities and differences between Jane Eyre and Heart of Darkness. It was the stinkiest pile of bullshit I’ve ever turned in and I got a B! I’m still vaguely baffled.

3.) I finally took time to learn how to care for my curly hair properly during the pandemic and it has been so worth it! It looks healthier (and curlier) than ever.

4.) When I was 3 years old I got a black and white stuffed toy dog for Christmas and promply named it Moo, because all black and white animals are cows. Obviously.

5.) The most fun concert I’ve ever been to was Ozzy Osbourne. It was supposed to be Black Sabbath, but Iommi was fighting cancer at the time so Ozzy showed up with Zack Wylde in tow and played the show instead. He had a bubble gun and used it liberally and gleefully on the audience :)

Gonna tag whoever wants and @vtforpedro :)

#Zack Wylde is damn fine #Ozzy is a maniac

Bagginshield Raffle

Hi everyone! Life has been difficult for so many of us, so I hope that this brings some warmth and humor, as I very much like writing those things!

I reached a number I never thought I'd get to on AO3 and now I am a handful away from 1000 followers on Tumblr! Holies molies. So, I thought I'd run a little Bagginshield raffle like I've done a few before! <3 I'm offering a fic with a word count between 1500 - 4500. Please thoroughly read this post. 1. You must be following me.

2. If you follow and unfollow before the raffle closes, I will not be counting your entry.

3. No raffle/prize accounts, no side accounts for a second entry. Only one entry is permitted.

4. If you are drawn, PLEASE keep the word count in mind and only offer ideas that can be done in shorter fics! What I will write: Bagginshield! Canon AUs, canon divergence, missing scenes, snippets during the quest, after the quest, Bilbo stays in Erebor, Reshirement, different first meetings, magical creatures, wizard!Bilbo, modern settings, modern royalty, and more! I am especially fond of fluff, humor, romance, falling in love, and fics with those aplenty. @/morticia-butler won my first raffle, and I wrote a reincarnation fic for her, which you can find here. @/stevecarrington won my second raffle and I wrote a garden-in-Erebor fic for him, which you can find here. What I won't write: Genderbending, Parentshield, mpreg, ABO, other ships unless briefly mentioned, politics, unrequited love, sickfic, a 'third party' interfering in their relationship, cruel Durins, cruel hobbits, heavy heavy angst, smut, MCD How to Enter: One reblog is your entry to the raffle. Please keep that in mind! Likes and replies will not be considered an entry. The winner will be drawn with a random number generator. I'll be assigning numbers with usernames based on the reblog order in a google document. The winner will be tagged, and I will also send a message through Tumblr Messages.

AAAAGH. it’s been forever BUT @vtforpedro

tagged me to post 7 lines from a WIP! I took a million years, sorry about that O.o

Oswald looks up and sees tears on Barry’s face. As if he’s the one with speed powers, he is at the boy’s side in an instant, ready to soothe him. “What happened?” he asks. “Something upset you from the book?”

“It’s—it’s The Nightingale and the Rose...this bird loves a scholar and he wants a rose more than anything, for his girlfriend, and the bird—” Barry’s face crumples and he barely can get out, “She k-kills herself t-to make him a r-rose and—and—the student just throws it away!”

“Oh, love.” Oswald takes the book, places it to the side, and takes Barry’s shaking hands in his. “I know,” he says softly. “I know it hurts. Wilde’s got a way of punching you right in the heart, doesn’t he?”

Barry nods, sniffs twice, and has to take a few deep breaths before he can say, “I’m sorry, it’s just—it’s how I feel about you, and Ed, taking such good care of me—I’m like that student, I’m sorry, you two do so much for me and I never even thanked you for saving me, I just cried when you tried to check on me…”

He trails off, ready to bolt from the looks of it, but Oswald quickly sets him straight. “No,” he says firmly, “you’re not that student, sweetheart.” He cups Barry’s chin with his forefinger and makes him look up. “You’re the Nightingale, you understand? You gave yourself up for someone who threw you away. You’ve been trampled and hurt, and it’s not your fault.”

Oh, he thinks painfully as Barry’s eyes go wide, the words sinking in, how he wishes someone had told him those very words when he was Barry’s age. It’s not your fault.

This one is gonna get wild y’all. Riddler/Flash/Penguin. Brace yourself for a hit from the Feels Cannon. (If I ever finish writing the damn thing, that is.)

I will tag @black-eyed-creature and @indigo-apex, and anyone else who feels up to it ^_^

#riddlebird #flashpenguin #riddleflashpenguin #dc #justice league #fic preview #tag posts #wips #I WILL write it y'all I swear

ao3 tag game!

my darling @hobbitunderthemountain tagged me thanks kat ilysm!!

AO3 Name: Skyrissian (ErinacchiLove) Fandoms: atm mainly star wars but also the hobbit and occasionally some other fandoms Number of Fics: 44 published on ao3, my total fic count in my laptop fic folder is much higher (it has every fic I’ve written since I was 12)

1. Fic you spent the most time on: technically amnâs but it’s been on hiatus since 2018 (started it in 2015) so the return of hope in reality I guess (started it in january 2018)

2. Fic you spent the least time on: A Cold on which I spent a grand total of three hours or so

3. Longest fic: The Return of Hope at 90k published, total word count will probably be around 95k

4. Shortest fic: Three in the morning (192 words)

5. Most hits: Amnâs (9586 hits as we speak)

6. Most kudos: The One in the Waiting Room (465 kudos)

7. Most comment threads: The Return of Hope on the grounds that it’s my longest ongoing fic (24 chapters atm and 162 comment threads)

8. Fave fic you wrote: once again The Return of Hope, I think everything in it has worked out the way I wanted, even when I didn’t know I didn’t want it to work out the way it did (like I did not expect to include the ghost crew when I started it but there they are and I love them). I also really love Another Kind of Hope, as I think I managed to do the whole twin swap thing well - but also the scoundrel swap! (hey from now on if we swap han and lando’s roles can it be called scoundrel swap?)

9. Fic you want to rewrite/expand on:

oh so many!

Another Kind of Hope practically demands a sequel since it’s episode iv and I have started figuring out how episode v would work out

The Return of Hope already has a bunch of side-fics but I’m also tempted to write a one-shot on what happened after the end

Far Longer Than Forever aka my very first Hobbit fic, I’d love to rewrite it to include some stuff I originally planned but didn’t write in it for some reason (and add lesbian kiliel in)

The most unexpected and wonderful things aka my star wars pride parade fic that also has a sequel and I’m thinking of writing a third part this year that would be centered around lando coming out as genderfluid

10. Share a bit of a WIP or share a story idea you’re planning: this is from this years star wars big bang (I don’t wanna spoil the end of the return of hope lol)

Hosnian Prime did turn out to be a formality for the most part, just as Lando had predicted. The newly elected president, Chaelisa Yongwon, was a cheerful young woman, and a stark contrast to Senator Xiono. She was already expecting them when they landed, and instantly said that all the official business had been taken care of already.

“I thought you might want to enjoy our annual Star Festival rather than be stuck in negotiations,” President Yongwon said, “so I handled all the agreements and all you need to do is give them a read and sign them. There’s really nothing new in them that Senator Xiono hasn’t already brought up in the Senate.”

Lando and Luke glanced at each other. So instead of getting stuck at work they got to have a small vacation already? Well, they were not going to mind that at all.

“Thank you, Madam President,” Lando answered. “I’ll be sure to do that immediately so it won’t take time from the festivities.”

President Yongwon waved her hand in a dismissive manner. “Please, just call me Chaelisa in private, both of you,” she looked at Luke, who seemed surprised to be acknowledged like this. “Being called Madam President makes me feel like I’m at least fifty.”

Lando chuckled and promised to do so. Chaelisa smiled and asked if they wanted accommodations in the presidential palace for their stay. The festival was going to last the whole week, and staying somewhere more spacious than the consular ship, as nice as it was, sounded like a good idea, so Lando and Luke agreed.

“Not gonna lie,” Luke said when they had been escorted to the apartment where they would be staying for the week, “this is not what I expected at all.”

“Me neither,” Lando answered as he took off his cape and settled it into the closet next to the entrance hall. “But I’m not gonna complain. Getting to go to a festival is infinitely more fun than any negotiations.”

“I thought it was a ball, not a festival, though.”

Lando rubbed his chin and checked his datapad. “Apparently there is a ball on the last day of the festival. So that’s more or less our only absolute obligation. Otherwise… I think we’re free to do what we want.”

Luke smiled and after taking his boots off headed inside the apartment. “Bodyguard duty number one, always check the premises!” he announced, making Lando laugh. Like something bad really could happen to them there. The security here was tight; there wasn’t much of a chance anything got past the radar.

“Uh, Lando?” Luke called from somewhere within the apartment. “We have a problem.”

And of course everything was too good to be true.

Lando found Luke at what he assumed was the bedroom doorway. “What’s wrong?”

Luke sighed and shook his head. “There’s only one bed.”

wonder what will happen? xD

Favorite Bagginshield Fics I’ve Read/Currently Reading (in no particular order) Part 2/?:

It’s been a little over 6 months since I gushed Bagginshield fic rec and I decided a few weeks ago while reading my pile of bookmarks on AO3 that I need to post a new one. I have 33 fics below out of the 9,085 fics on Bagginshield’s AO3, so I’d recommend taking a look there as well for those I’ve missed. As always, buckle in boys.

Part 1 Ask

^^ rating descends from G to E this time for organizational purposes! also, a lot of these are all complete because I have no patience and have to read an entire 100k fic in one sitting like a maniac.

** (to reiterate) are extra, extra favorites, but these are all absolutely incredible fics worth every second of your time.

Call You Home by northerntrash - 12k, rating: not rated, complete, hobbit culture, everyone lives nobody dies au, it’s all fluff folks, Thorin’s making puppy-eyes at the Burglar again, hobbits have a secret language (sign me up!)

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.

** Wasteful by northerntrash - 6k, rating: not rated, modern au, coffee shop au (squeeee), in which awkwardly staring does not make for good flirting, and you should probably just tell people when you are interested in them, fluff, author writes modern Thorin so goddamn well!

Summary: Bilbo just didn't understand; why would anyone come in every day, order cake, and then not eat it?

** Customary by an_odd_ducky - 3k, rating: G, fluff, hobbits rub noses as a greeting!, thorin is jealous!, Fili and Kili insist on learning!

Summary: Hobbits rub noses to greet each other - a fact the dwarves don't know until they arrive in Rivendell and Elrond greets a surprised Bilbo by rubbing their noses together. Some of the company find it quite amusing, but Thorin is less than pleased. Fluff! Fill for the Hobbit Kink Meme.

** Para Bellum by RyuzzaKochou - 4k, rating: G, complete, basically hobbits are secret kung fu masters, company bonding, humor.

Summary: Hobbits always survive; even where trained and experienced soldiers don't. Has no one ever wondered about this? Thorin and the Company learn that it takes more than luck to be small in a big world. OR - Bilbo has unexpected skills and Thorin finds he likes them.

Silly Trinkets by The Feels Whale (miscellea) - 16k, rating: G, complete, fem!Bilbo, Thorin has no game, lies of omission, part of a two part series.

Summary: There are no words adequate to describe the Last Homely House or the wonders of Lord Elrond’s hospitality, which seems impossible to strain even under the burden of thirteen empty dwarfish stomachs and their even more trying attitudes.

Having played hostess to those same stomachs in her time, Briar is duly impressed and endeavors to add to the burden as little as possible. This is made somewhat more difficult by the fact that elves, apparently, are better able to differentiate between hobbit gentlemen and hobbit ladies that dwarves seem to be. A fact Briar learned when Lord Elrond pulled her to one side after their meal and put her into the hands of his daughter and her women with a gentle smile.

Briar feels that she probably owes him a swift kick in the shins for that.

You Got Me by drunkonwriting - 19k, rating: G, complete, dwarf culture & customs, everyone loves Bilbo and gives him shit, fluff, everybody lives nobody dies au.

Summary: The Company shows their affection for Bilbo in accordance with dwarvish tradition. Bilbo... has no idea why everyone keeps giving him gifts.

Comes Around Again by scarletjedi - 205k, rating: T, complete, a fandom favorite obviously, Gimli and Legolas are the main pairing, lovely art!, time travel fix-it, established relationship.

Summary: Gimli closes his eyes, an old Dwarf on the brink of death in the home he had built with his husband in the Undying Lands, and opens them again as a young Dwarf in his childhood home in Ered Luin. He's returned to the tumultuous week before The Company set out to recruit their Burglar from his cosy hobbit hole. Gimli, once again a impetuous teen in the eyes of his family, must get into that Company--the lives of his loved ones, and the very fate of Middle Earth--depends on it.

** A Dragon’s Tale by vtforpedro - 132k, rating: T, complete, canon divergence au, dragon Bilbo, timeline? what timeline?, Bilbo is so Done (same), Thorin is an Idiot, emotionally constipated Thorin (my favorite, jk), everyone is dramatic, lore? what lore?, minor character death, minor war violence, minor ring influence.

Summary: Bilbo Baggins has been a hobbit for many long years and he should very much like to keep it that way, thank you very much.

An old friend drops by Bag End with the offer of an adventure and despite Bilbo's refusal, the idea of only thirteen dwarves and a wizard facing a dragon may just convince him yet. After all, he has experience with the Great Dragons of the North. Once upon a time, he was one.

An Eye For Quality by Linelen (Linelenagain) - 85k, rating: T, complete, fem!Bilbo, au canon divergence, wonky timeline, family by choice, crazy courtship rituals (we love a good courtship).

Summary: Fíli lived his life by an old dwarven proverb: when a fool drops a treasure, a wise man picks it up (it sounded better in the original khuzdul).Bella Baggins never quite fit in the Shire. Perhaps she was made for the mountains, instead.

** A Shot in the Dark by Silver_pup - 213k, rating: T: complete, I read anything this author writes basically, time travel (I love this trope), fix-it fic, au, bamf!Bilbo, bamf!Dwarves, Bilbo is determined to save everyone, friends to lovers, eventual happy ending.

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.

** Flowers and Ice by BlackSmile - 54k, rating: T, complete, fem!Bilbo, frozen au (she has gloves, I repeat, Bella has to conceal don’t feel), some angst, author blames tumblr, no ring au.

Summary: Thorin wasn't really impressed with the idea to hire a burglar for their quest. He was even less impressed when he found out this burglar was a Hobbit. And all his hopes were lost when he found out their burglar was a woman. But still he can't help himself but to feel a bit attracted to this damned sweet Hobbit. Just why does she have to be so stubborn? And why does she wear gloves all the time anyway?

** Flowers of Yavanna by SOABA - 22k, rating: T, complete, overprotective dwarves, dwobbits!, fem!Bilbo, post BotFA, magic, families of choice, assassination attempts, Bilbo remains in Erebor au, cabbage patch hobbits (yesss)

Summary: Because the belief that Hobbits grew their babies in a cabbage patch had to come from somewhere.“What’s on your wrist, Bella?” Tauriel asked from her place at the dining table when Bél walked past her, nodding toward Bella’s right side.

Bella frowned and looked down at her right hand and then her mouth fell open in shock. Printed on the inside of her wrist, directly underneath her palm, plain as daylight, was a circlet of lily-shaped blossoms connected by an emerald green vine.

lay down your sweet and weary head by Elenothar - 125k, rating: T, complete, very slow burn, more pining pre-slash actually, time travel (again, a gift to this fandom because BotFA broke all of us), fix it yet not really fix-it it’s complicated, durin family, thorin-centric.

Summary: Thorin dies. Thorin wakes up. He is understandably confused by this, especially since he appears to be in the Erebor he knew as a young dwarf, about to be attacked by a dragon.A time-travel fic with Thorin as the one living his life twice.

The Nine Lives of Bilbo Baggins by captain (theoddoodisnude) - 15k, rating: T, complete, community: hobbit_kink, AU (sort of), multiple temporary character deaths, slightly gory, descriptions of death and dying, THERE’S A HAPPY ENDING FOLKS.

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.

Nugel (Flower of all Flowers) by aquileaofthelonelymountain - 2k, rating: T, complete, post BotFA, everybody lives nobody dies au, fluff, flower language.

Summary: Recently, Bilbo seems distracted, even unhappy. But what Thorin interprets as homesickness is something different. And although Bilbo knows very well why he feels so strangely out of place, he lacks the courage to tell Thorin. It's only good that even dwarves know a thing or two about flowers...

** A Passion for Mushrooms by Chrononautical - 90k, rating: T, complete, all the dwarves, dwarf culture and customs, cultural differences, gift giving, language of flowers, flower crowns, everyone lives nobody dies au, Bilbo remains in Erebor au, slow burn, need I say more folks?

Summary: There are many trials for a hobbit attempting to make a life among dwarves. A hobbit wants a garden. A hobbit wants to eat regular meals. A hobbit wants friends, good books, and comfortable chairs. Bilbo does his best to carve out a little hobbit life for himself in the mountain. If only there were not one final obstacle. For a hobbit heart wants love, and among dwarves that is a sticky subject.

"Hobbits have a passion for mushrooms, surpassing even the greediest likings of Big People." - The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien

** Plaits and Weaves by ArgentAconit - 53k, rating: T, complete, braids, hobbit culture, dwarf culture, fluff, listen Bilbo goes through most of the company and gives them each Hobbit worthy braids (??? that’s fucking adorable bro), grooming, cultural differences, Thorin is jealous (big surprise), sort of a fix it.

Summary: Bilbo misses home, he misses his armchair and his books, but right now he misses his kitchen the most. If only he had something to keep his hands busy, he wouldn't so dearly wish he could turn back and delay their quest even more.

Fili is the first to take notice how restless he is, and quickly comes up with a solution. Bilbo, of course, doesn't seem to understand what he is being asked and how it would affect the company over the course of their journey. Or how it would affect one Thorin Oakenshield.

Raven: An Unexpected Adventure by Aerlinniel722 - 165k, rating: T, 32/? chapters completed, fem!Bilbo, everyone lives nobody dies au, post BotFA, overprotective dwarves, family feels, there’s a MINI, female dwobbit Thorin and you expect me not to read it, as if, Bilba really struggles in this one folks.

Summary: After the Battle of Five Armies, Bilba Baggins fled Erebor and her new King in disgrace with a secret. Fifteen years later, when Dís swears she sees a hobbit who looked like her brother… well, perhaps a certain burglar isn't as dead as it was initially assumed.

** Recovery, Redemption, and Romance by Moonbeam - 118k, rating: T, complete, Bilbo is a surprise healer, injured Thorin, rebuilding Erebor, Bilbo is awesome, Thorin is smitten, Dwarves are amused and sneaky, gifts and courting, slow build. everyone lives nobody dies au, developing relationship.

Summary: When Thorin is injured in the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo surprises everyone with his healing abilities.

Then as Erebor starts to rebuild he continues to surprise people with his knowledge and skills. On top of everything else that is occurring there is a dwarf king and a hobbit who might be trying to court one another without the other knowing - while their companions are either helpful or confusingly gleeful.

An Unexpected Proposal by Earenial - 100k, rating: T, complete, romance, character study, oblivious!Bilbo, frustrated!Thorin, Kili is a flirt, Bilbo-centric, fic follows (most of) the canon events of the book ( = no hug on Carrock), slow Austen-type romance, slow burn.

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.

** Feathers that Flutter and Fly by orphan_account :( - 14k, rating: M, complete, wing!verse, Bilbo’s wings are beautiful and I’m in love with wing fics sue me.

Summary: The Shire is taken by Orcs, ravaged and destroyed but Bilbo, who is still very young, managed to escape. He runs, travelling through Middle Earth until he reaches Erebor, where Thorin finds him, cold and starving.

Good Morning by Luckyhai5 - 57k, rating: M, complete, fem!Bilbo, major character death warning, imprisonment, PTSD, it’s really a nice story I swear, it has a happy ending.

Summary: There was a strange, tall man walking up the path. Bilbo recognised him, of course; how could one forget that tall, grey silhouette now making its way up towards her? Gandalf.

AU. What if Bilbo had already left the Shire once before? What if she had seen things she could never forget, and lived through things she couldn't speak of? In this world, Bilbo has a secret, a secret waiting for her in Rivendell, a secret that has changed, and will change, everything...

A Home for my Heart by Moonrose91 - 54k, rating: M, complete, social isolation, character death, miscarriages, infant death, barrenness, body shaming, bullying, mention of mpreg, Erebor Never Fell au, smashing of timelines, canon what canon?, slow build.

Summary: For things Bilbo could not change, he was condemned to a life of isolation, with the belief that none could love him. And then a Dwarf came to Hobbiton.

** Hurricanes in Hertford, Hereford, and Hampshire by 61Below - 126k, rating: M, complete, fem!Bilbo, post BotFA, pregnancy!, language barriers!, cultural misunderstandings!, durin family feels, tbh if Dís is in it I’m in love, ALSO author pictured Bilbo as Margret Hale from North and South??? that’s beautiful.

Summary: Bilbo was banished. That's it, the end. She wants nothing more to do with dwarves. Now all she needs to do is get back home, but there may be some complications along the way.

** The Oak and The Ash by sunryder - 67k, rating: M, complete, timeline? what timeline?, au sentinels and guides, sentinel/guide bonding (I love this idea of sentinels and guides, it’s like soulmates but more intricate?? and better almost?? read it, it’s fantastic).

Summary: Bilbo Baggins was not a particularly talented Guide. He knew that. His family knew that. Every last Hobbit in the four Farthings and Bree knew that.

But that meant nothing when one morning an agony that wasn’t Bilbo’s ripped right through him, dropping him to his knees with a scream. Wrapped up in the pain there was a presence. Someone fierce and determined, nestling himself in the blank space in Bilbo’s mind for the barest of moments before he slipped away. It was like fingertips brushing across the outside fringe of his soul, and Bilbo wanted it back. Wanted him back.

And so help him, Bilbo was going to find him. His Sentinel.

Something Blue by Lapin - 34k, rating: M, complete, fake relationship (ayyyyyy) au canon divergence, politics, gardens & gardening.

Summary: Thorin marries Bilbo after the Battle of Five Armies, a marriage of convenience, not love. Slowly, they must come to make the best of it, Bilbo resolves. After all, he's a Hobbit. They make the best of things.

** An Expected Journey by MarieJacquelyn - 295k, rating: E, complete, time travel, sex and violence, fix it, eventual happy ending, temporary character death, BotFA fix it, everybody lives nobody dies.

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.

** Durin’s League by hobbitgrl - 73k, rating: E, complete, superheroes/superpowers au, fem!Bilbo, angst, romance, all the dwarves all the things all the feelings.

Summary: When the mysterious Durin's League takes the national spotlight in the battle against the super-powered villains of the Smaug Corporation Bilbo Baggins doesn't think much of it. At least not until Thorin Oakenshield crashes through her living room wall and Gandalf tells her she's their only hope.

No Matter What We Breed by fideliant - 37k, rating: E, complete, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, omegaverse, alpha Thorin, omega Bilbo, courtship, cultural differences, love at first sight, implied mpreg, a lot of sex folks, angst, attempted rape/non-con, Gandalf is a mega troll.

Summary: In a world where omega males are slightly less rare than Arkenstones, Thorin doesn't do himself much of a favour by falling in love with the first gentlehobbit he lays eyes on. Much more is expected of virile alpha male dwarves, after all, even more so for kings, but when Bilbo is revealed to be the first omega male in centuries, Erebor is suddenly not the only prize that Thorin has set his sights on winning.

** Office Hours by lilithiumwords - 9k, rating: E, complete, takes place after What Happens in Gondor, modern au, college/university au, Kili is a literature student and Bilbo is his professor and Thorin is a jerk (not really), smut, Thorin might be deranged, (I love the ending to this, read it).

Summary: When Professor Bilbo Baggins sent Kíli Vinson's paper home with a bad grade, he never imagined that his relaxing office hours would be interrupted by Kíli's terribly rude uncle.Whom, incidentally, Bilbo had met before and knew rather, er, intimately.

** The Riven Crown by The_Kingmaker - 254k, rating: E, complete, friends to lovers, misunderstandings, mutual pining, middle earth politics, everyone lives nobody dies au, hurt/comfort, nightmare, alternating POV, slow burn.

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?

Safe and Distant by Lindzzz - 45k, rating: E, complete, slow burn, everyone lives nobody dies au (everyone knows but bilbo), thorn is an idiot, post BotFA, cultural miscommunication, 50k sequel!

Summary: "Bilbo never bothers denying that he is a slight, little bit, probably infatuated with Thorin. It’s not something that bothers him. Really. He’s pretty sure that everyone very likely has a little flutter in their chest for the dwarf. He’s something grand and unattainable.And it’s really much safer if it stays that way."

** What Happens in Gondor by lilithiumwords - 15k, rating: E, complete, modern au, smut, one night stand, REINCARNATION, anyone?, Gandalf is a troll, Thorin and Bilbo are beans, so much sex, prequel to a 3 part series.

Summary: The one night stand that Bilbo will always regret leaving behind.
