A Bagginshield fanfic, hope you enjoy! None of the characters or names belong to me but to their respective copyright holders. I often use lines from Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, as this fanfiction is based on the films; I do not claim, however, that I have invented them.

Bilbo Baggins agreed to go on the journey with Thorin and company because Gandalf asked him to, and Gandalf was a friend. But he didn't expect to find love...and definitely not with the most unexpected person ever. The others don't understand, even threaten to shun them...but can Bilbo stand up for the one he loves, and the only love that he's ever understood? And most importantly, will Thorin forgive Bilbo's past crimes? WARNING: Thorin and Bilbo!

He spent most days watching the sky, or curled up in his armchair by the fireplace. He never lit the wood though. The fire reminded him too much of Smaug, the way the vast dragon had scorched and burned, flames licking through Laketown and Erebor. So the branches turned dusty as the days drew on, night to day and day to night, a constant cycle of memories.

A Bagginsheild fiction One day Thorin Oakenshield suddenly shows up at Bilbo's hobbit hole, after everyone thought he was dead. This is a short fic filled with fluff.
