First of all, This is the Second Book of A Ruby's Shine, to understand the plot-line here, go check out A Ruby's Shine on my page :D I do no own Lord of The Ring's or The Hobbit. I never back down from a challenge, it's just not in my nature. But now, I face new challenges, things I have never dealt with before. Can I go from a lone wanderer of the wilderness to a person with a family, a steady place to live, and a future of being the queen of a great dwarf kingdom? I am not good with people, never have been, but I do not back away from a challenge. So much now weighs on me, so much I have lost, so much has changed, yet I will fight on. For The Company. For my family. For Thorin. But how will I handle being a wife, a queen, and a mother? Rated M like A Ruby's Shine, because of fighting.

This is set post-Smaug and before the dwarves resettle in the Blue Mountains. It describe the years in the life of Thorin Oakenshield between those two events. It is a story of love, lust and adversity. It is also my very first fanfiction with plot. It took me months to write it, so please; be gentle! First of all, I would like the thank my beta-reader and mentor Lady Anne, for all her help and support. Specials thanks to Lady Oakenshield who was kind enough to do a second read for mistakes and typos. Hopefully, they are all gone now! Please note, that I am NOT a Tolkien expert. I did check the Simarilion a couple of times to make sure that what I was writing made sense, but it is possible that some details might not fit in. Also of note, I took inspiration from the fanfic Clarity by Forianna and Thorinsexenshield, for my idea of Arukhel, and though I put a twist on it, I still prefered to reference it, as I did not mean to steal this idea from the author in any way.

Born of darkness. Forged in fire. Bound by fate. Diana Vanserra is an outcast; half human, half-elf, and the last of the Nyxarian line, a bloodline feared for its shadow-wielding power. Once a princess of a hidden mountain realm, her world was shattered when Azog the Defiler slaughtered her kin under Sauron's command and enslaved her for years. Now free, she's become a deadly force of vengeance, carving her way through Middle-earth in pursuit of justice. When Gandalf witnesses her fury firsthand, he offers her a new path: join a dwarven prince named Thorin Oakenshield and a Hobbit burglar on a quest to reclaim Erebor from the dragon Smaug. Reluctantly, Diana agrees, but from the moment she meets Thorin, the two are fire and flint. Prideful, headstrong, and unyielding, they clash at every turn. Yet as the journey grows darker and the stakes rise, so too does the bond between them, built not on trust; but on shared scars, buried pain, and a slow-burning desire that neither dares to admit. In a world at war, love is the most dangerous shadow of all. - All Rights Reserved © Cover made by yours truly x I do not own any of Tolkien's marvellous creations, characters or the original plot of The Hobbit.

Aleanna always thought she was just a seamstress living in a small town south of Erebor. But when Thorin Oakenshield sweeps through town searching for work after Erebor's fall, she knows it's not the first time she's seen him. Nor would it be her last. ***This story was inspired by the scenes of young Thorin working as a smith in the towns of men. It takes place shortly after the dwarves' exile from Erebor, as they journey south through the Wilderlands east of Mirkwood then westward to Dunland. *****YIKES! IT IS NOW 12/20202 AND ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I WROTE THIS HUMBLE FANFIC, THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR DISCOVERING IT AND READING IT! LOVE ALL YOUR COMMENTS!*****

She came as a prisoner - a daughter offered in a bargain to prevent war. He was a king hardened by loss, bound to his mountain and its silence. But neither expected the fire that would ignite between them. Elaina, a mage born of storm and light, is locked away in the coldest part of Erebor, forgotten by most... but not by Thorin Oakenshield. Drawn to her resilience, haunted by her loneliness, Thorin begins to see not a threat - but a flame he cannot look away from. In the shadows of suspicion and the weight of duty, two souls begin to unravel and entwine. But when peace returns, will she walk away? Or will she take the king's heart with her? A tale of longing, sacrifice, and the kind of love that can shake the foundations of stone. Disclaimer I do not own any of the Tolkien characters

A THORIN OAKENSHIELD x OC FANFIC Blair Baggins, sister to Bilbo Baggins, has lived in The Shire her whole life, considering what's beyond the border a distant dream. Distant dreams become reality when an unexpected party arrives to her brother's hobbit hole one spring evening, and what follows goes beyond anything Blair could have ever imagined. Thorin Oakenshield has taken up the arduous task of reclaiming his stolen homeland and entering his rightful position as King Under the Mountain. He never expected that by the end of the journey, he would throw that all away in a second for a single person he had met not 13 months ago. ------------------------------ NOTICE: I chose to mix parts of the book and movie trilogy for this fan fiction! I find it more fun that way plus allows me to incorporate more of a slow burn, if ya know what I mean ;). Don't come at me if I don't get certain lines right or some lore wrong, this is all for fun!

It is a little known fact that Thorin had come to dislike the race of elves; but perhaps it hasn't always been this way, maybe, just maybe, once upon a time there wasn't such high disdain held towards them. The dwarf-Prince's heart isn't as nearly as impenetrable as the vaults of Erebor, a chance find and visit cause a form to grow between two races. If anything the elf-Princess's curiosity about everything, and anything which involved or was created by the hand of dwarf's in turn piques his own curiosity, not finding how something so delicate could find fondness in things so hardened. Regardless, a love formed, two pieces complete only to split thanks to a dragon's attack of the jealousy of what Erebor had within.
