Lost Husbands [Thilbo]

Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins.

"The way back was the most painful. I wish I had been there when they buried him. For a few seconds, I even wished to be in the tomb instead of him. I could have saved him. If I had run a little faster to him. If I had the strength to lift him up and bring him back inside. If I had enough courage to fight. I could only think about him. It isn't right. Maybe that's why he died. God had sent me a message to put me back on the right side. Maybe the message was for him to never sin with a hobbit like me. Just a male like me...

Maybe we were destined to be nothing more than friends. "

And as he swung his sword. Thorin's chest suddenly aches in realisation. Azog had stabbed him too deep. Thorin leaves himself to fall on a rock further away as his vision turns dark. Suddenly, the hobbit was under him. Talking to him. If only he could hear him.

Thorin closed his eyes as Bilbo's heart dropped right from his rib cage down to his hips, crashing down with him his guts. And the darkness of grief came to his eyes as tears left him to fall onto his secret love's forehead. Thorin had won the war and his heart but left the Kingsdown and the little men's feeling behind as he fell into the dept of the afterlife.

But was he dead ? Or unconscious.
