Bilbo finds himself separated from the party of dwarves when they escape from the Goblin Mines. the halfling is alone in the wilderness with night rapidly approaching. There are many dangers and things in the night that would love to snack upon a hobbit so very far from home. How long can Bilbo last without help?

Thorin Oakenshield is dead. Bilbo Baggins returned to the Shire but was never the same. He came to fall in love with the Dwarven King but never had a chance to tell him. The ring calls to him, begs him to be used once again. Bilbo can't handle being alone anymore, much like his hobbit hole, his heart and mind were much too quiet. Then Bilbo does the unthinkable. Anything to get his beloved King back. But every deal comes with a price. Inspiration came from the cover I used for this story....I do not own it! I also do not own any of the characters, all rights go to Peter Jackson and J.R.R. Tolkien!

An AU about Mipha's and Link's life together post Calamity. I tried to have some fun with this story, taking it in different directions, developing Mipha's and Link's family, making up some adventures, and creating some connections to other Zelda stories. But the main theme is Mipha's and Link's love for each other and building a happy life together. I'm sure I don't always succeed, but I try to keep the story light hearted and generally opt for happy outcomes. The first 2 chapters now incorporate the prequel stories 'His Future is in the Past' and 'Beginning Life in Zora's Domain', so this AU is self-contained in one story. If you've already read the prequels just jump to Chapter 1 - Studying. Cover art where available is by Nurple(twitter dot com/nurpleynurple) and used by permission.
