*Ranger's Apprentice/Lord of the Rings crossover* When Gilan, Alyss, and Halt inexplicably end up in Middle Earth, and with Aragorn, Thranduil, and Glorfindel stuck in Araluen, everyone is scrambling to make sense of it all. As these two worlds meet it is anyone's guess as to what will happen next--and if our six heroes will ever make it home.

Thorin Oakenshield has lost it all. His home, his family, his kingdom and the love of his life. He has no one, apart from his two young nephews and his little sister. Thorin lives a life of solitude and hard work, alone in his house in Ered Luin. Hazel is alone, scared and traumatised. Her life in the orphanage is hard, she is bullied and verbally abused on a daily basis. And no one seems to care. No one, apart from Thorin Oakenshield himself. Can one little girl save the dwarf king from himself? And can he help her recover from her dark past? Notes: There are some mature themes in this story, I am sorry if it offends anyone, please do not read if you don't think you can cope with it. This story does deal with alcoholism and abuse but I will warn at the start of chapters that contain this content. The character of Hazel belongs completely to @The_Hells_Angel. I'm sorry if Thorin is a bit out of character, I had to make him a little less grumpy
