Filomena Arabella-May Goodbody-Baggins is a robust woman. Known for being a feisty and untamable hobbit of the Shire, not even a company of 13 dwarves are able to control her: not even a hard-headed king. After an ill-received proposal, a few stolen heirlooms, and a mutual exchange of harsh words, Filomena finds herself in the company of an unwilling dwarven king, Thorin Oakenshield. On a quest for adventure and reclamation, Filomena and her cousin, Bilbo, must break free of the silken safety blanket of the Shire and survive in the big world.

Of course, it's hard to make it big when a king doesn't like you.

Will Filomena and Bilbo make it to the end of the quest? Or will a stubborn-headed king do everything in his power to break the little woman? Will Thorin be able to stay true to his own beliefs and morals? Or will an intoxicatingly fierce hobbit break down his walls?

Read to find out ;)

NOTE: This work dips heavily into BOTH the films and book and "rewrites" some of the outcomes and character impacts. If you haven't read the book, some scenes will be very different from the film, and the timeline follows the book more closely (AKA, realistic travel time)

(This story can also be found on ArchiveOfOurOwn, still written by me)

Ravonna The White by RavonnasRebellion
42 parts Complete Mature
The time has come. Erebor still lies within the Lonely Mountain, and Smaug has not been sighted for years. The regal line of Durin must reclaim their homeland once more. But, when Gandalf the Grey tasks Ravonna the White, the greatest sorceress of Middle Earth, to join the Company, she faces many great obstacles that she never wished to encounter again. Finding love with Thorin Oakenshield was never her plan, but that was not the only surprise her fate had in store. Darkness had once again found a way to creep into and to corrupt her heart, but will Ravonna be able to banish it? Will she be successful in saving the line of Durin- or will she fail? This is a Fanfiction following the adventures of Thorin Oakenshield in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, the Hobbit. DISCLAIMERS: 1. I do not own any of the characters besides from Ravonna. Aside from the main storyline, any other scenes or events are my own. All other rights go to J. R. R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson for the original works, the movies and novel of the Hobbit. I also do not own this image, credits go to it's rightful owner. 2. There are TONS of mistakes and plot errors in this book. PLEASE keep in mind that I started and finished this when I was only ELEVEN YEARS OLD. Because this was the first thing I ever wrote, know that this is not a representation of my best work (if you do want to another Thorin fanfic from me, check out Rue, now online). I don't mind criticism, but please be patient and enjoy the story for the substance, not necessarily the accuracy :) Sending much love to all of my fellow Tolkienites and thank you for all of your support so far! I hope you enjoy this story!

Complicated (Thorin Oakenshield x Reader) [Slow Updates] by This_Single_Pringle
16 parts Complete Mature
What happens when an assassin who's heart isn't in it - or is a little TOO in it - is sent to take the life of Thorin Oakenshield? Will she go through with her assignment? Or will she find herself incapable of doing what she needs to do to save those she cares for? One thing's for certain, (Y/N) is on one slippery slope! *For the record, I most definitely don't own The Hobbit or it's characters. The credit for all that awesomeness goes to J.R.R Tolkien and Peter Jackson. As for (Y/N), her backstory belongs to me, but she belongs to you!* Just so you all know, although this is a character x reader story, our little romance won't really show many signs of appearing in the beginning, so be prepared to read a fairly large amount of build-up before our love story truly begins. And, for the sake of the fic, we're gonna say Thorin is 103 and (Y/N) is 100 in the first chapter. Remember, (Y/N) is a skin-changer, and based on the 'research' I've done on the topic, skin-changers have lifespans relatively longer than those of average humans, and since no one ever really specified the exacts, I'll do what I wish with them. For the sake of the story, we'll say skin-changer lifespan can vary; some can live to be 500, others may just live to 100. AND for the sake of the fic, we'll say (Y/N) will live to be somewhere near the middle. Don't worry though, she definitely doesn't look old. And for the record, yes I get that Thorin's age in this doesn't really take into account the falling of Erebor and his presence in it, but lets just say that all of those happenings were a little more recent. BAM! (Also, if you are reading this fanfiction and like it, it would be very helpful if you shared it with other people! But don't feel required to or anything; you guys just reading my work is enough. =D) (ALSO also, if you do like this fanfiction, feel free to vote on it or comment. If you don't, I'm perfectly open to constructive criticism, but please no rude comments.)

Completed! "A tale as old as time, Beauty and the Beast~" Rain's family have been taken from her. She snuck into Mordor to find them but in a twisted turn of events, she ends up befriending an Uruk-hai captain with an identity crisis. In return for her help, the Orc promises to spare the girl's life. Soon they meet an old war veteran who can help them get to their destination. Everything seems to be going wrong, betrayal, sickness, injuries... Will these three friends be able to push through the punches life in Middle Earth throws at them? Or will they end up falling apart? And what happens when the Orc, Bogwater, finds himself falling for Rain? *Title has been updated to be more self-explanatory. However, nothing in the story has changed. -DISCLAIMERS: NEW READERS READ BEFORE CONTINUING- •Scenes of Violence, Action, and some Language. • I do not own Middle Earth or the characters specifically created by Tolkien, all I own is Rain, Bogwater, Havish, and the plot to this story. •This story has many twists and turns, please don't freak out on me if something you don't particularly like happens. •This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit plot. This is an all original plot using my own characters that just happen to run into Gollum, Gandalf, and some others, including Elrond. This is DOES not tie into the novels/films in anyway. • I do not own any of the songs or pictures used to give depth to the story. • A story about self-acceptance and friendship.

Healing, Magic, And Unexpected Adventures

26 parts Complete

Bouvardia Delphini Baggins is a hobbit of the Shire who has failed to be as respectable as her uncle is since she was first found. Now she spends her time as an underage healer working for an apothecary, but when she is given the opportunity for an adventure with thirteen dwarves who seem nice enough, she takes it. With trolls, orcs, and quite a bit of a tragic backstory waiting to be revealed, Bouvardia must face the wilds of Middle Earth whilst also worrying about the safety of the company. Oh, and of course she has to be dealing with one especially annoying Prince of Erebor. TW: mentions of abuse, blood, gore and violence.
