After the Fire by MiddleEarthPixie

Following the Battle of the Five Armies, a grievously wounded Thorin is brought back to the kingdom of Erebor, which is still mostly in ruins. Although he's survived the wounds he received at the end of Azog's blade, his recovery is far from complete. When she's asked to help the dwarves tend to their wounded, medical student Jasna Stoneham reluctantly agrees. Not only is she only just barely a qualified to even set foot in the infirmary, but she stutters when she gets nervous and nervous does not even begin to describe how she's feeling. To make matters worse, no one thought to warn her that she would be caring for the king himself, Thorin Oakenshield. Unfortunately, the road to recovery isn't necessarily a smooth one, but if there's one thing Thorin will learn, it's that what Jasna lacks in experience and training, she makes up for in stubbornness, giving him a run for his money. And for every backwards step he takes, she is there to push him three steps forward. And Jasna will soon find out that there is a gentle, softer side to the dwarf king, one that very few people have ever seen and one he fights to keep hidden from her as well. But like his recovery, that is also easier said than done.

A Ruby's Shine (Thorin Oakenshield X OC) by SnowyOwlGoddess

I do not own The Hobbit or LOTR. The Hobbit is what I based this story off of. A Thorin Oakenshield x OC you might really enjoy like I do, and I wrote the story! I decided this description needed a rewrite: Fiery, stubborn, prideful, daring. I am all of those names, always have been. I never back down from a challenge, never turn away from my choice. I am determined to find my home. And, one day, I know I will. I just never thought a handsome, stubborn, irritating, stoic, and annoying dwarf king would step in my way and tip me off that path I was determined to stay on. I never thought he would take my hand, and guide me down a much better path than I ever imagined. Check out the Sequel on my page, A Ruby's Glow. Ranked #1 in Hobbit out of 4.05k stories on August 21, 2021 Ranked #1 in Lordoftherings out of 4.11k stories on August 5th, 2021 Ranked #1 in Dwarf out of 1.02k stories on September 11th, 2019 Ranked #1 in Bilbo out of 1k stories on May 1, 2020 Rating Mature just because my editing is making things a bit gory at points.

Tasperwood: Book Two by BKing2025

Braving the dangerously magical Tasperwood to discover the source of the taint affecting the Rhyswater river, font of magic for both humans and elves, the oddly assembled group of humans and elves sent by their rulers has finally reached the Heartwood: the most deadly region of the Tasperwood, where magic is as tangled and slippery as the relationships between the travelers. Things go badly from the start, as the group gets separated by a deadly spell, and not everyone returns. Those who do must formulate a plan to rescue one of their number, and find both unexpected help, and dangers beyond imagining. Boggart-blooded mage Zach finds his past coming back to bite with a vengeance. Knight Keith sees his worst nightmares come true as he is unable to save those he loves. Elf Tryss and half-sylph Torin find their relationship, and their joined skills, tested to their limits. Foresteye elf Vesper sees the culmination of his most dire foresights-without surprise-and plans the ultimate sacrifice. Is there any hope that they can both escape with their lives, and cure the tainted Rhyswater?

Born in the Flame by greenbeanslinger

Elwin is a dusk elf who happens to be a dwarven blade-smith in a world ruled by the gods and their children. She works under her legendary blade-smithing father in their forge. Adopted as a newborn, she had never known what it had meant to be elven. She had never cared to know. All she knew was that the dawn elves had oppressed the dwarves a century before she was born, and the rest was unnecessary knowledge. Making blades and wielding fire magic was what mattered to her in the end. On a day that started like any other, a strange traveler appears with a strange request. Elwin is thrown into traveling outside her dwarven city and into the world that she had been subconsciously hiding from and embark on a quest to kill a god and save the world from a dark age of bloodshed.

Crescent | ✓ by TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
