    Summary

    The Arkenstone is the apple of Thorin Oakenshield's eyes. Being the oldest of his siblings, Thorin took the responsibility of keeping their father's coffee shop franchise, The Lonely Mountain, thriving. Unfortunately, through a series of mishaps and being targeted by a greedy bastard his nephews nicknamed Smaug, leaving only 'The Arkenstone' --- The first and favourite coffee shop Thrain Oakenshield ever opened --- as his father's heritage. Now, Thorin tries every day to keep things afloat and keep his father's last wish alive, even if it makes him forgo all kinds of social life and the small pleasures he had before. But, when a beautiful stranger moves in the shop down the road, Thorin finds himself wondering if there's more to life than just work.

    Among tattoos, spilled coffees and awkward conversations, Thorin finds love, family and new ways of seeing his life.

    Summary

    Post BOFA - everyone lives.
    The company, led by Oin, agree to sequester Bilbo away in a room deep in the mountain so that he can rest and heal after the battle. They all (including Bilbo) hope he will be pardoned and allowed to remain in the mountain once Thorin is healed and his mind is clear of the gold sickness. However, being dwarves, none of them really know how to tactfully mention it. Thorin assumes Bilbo has returned to the Shire and besides privately sending letters that are never returned, attempts to push the broken friendship and heart ache from his mind by not mentioning Bilbo either. Meanwhile Bilbo is healing, resting and using a handy ring to live unseen in the mountain. Both of them crave a reunion and a chance to right the wrongs they've committed...

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins hasn't had a heat since his tweens—not since he tucked that part of himself away with the rest of his foolish, romantic instincts.

    Thorin's Rut has been triggered for the first time in his life—something sacred among dwarves, only ever meant for a One.

    They are both fighting it. Failing. And the only thing keeping the king himself from tearing the world apart to get to Bilbo is a crumbling barrier of decency, some very helpful goats, and three very tired chaperones.

    Meanwhile, corrupted magic stalks Beorn's lands, a celestial Maia begins to stir awake in the forest, and the Company tries desperately to keep their burglar comfortable, clothed, and not climbing their king like a tree.

    It's not going great.

    Summary

    "Please Gandalf... please don't tell him." She begged, her voice thick with emotion and unshed tears.

    Gandalf met her eyes with as forlorn an expression as she'd ever seen on his face. There was such sadness held there at the answer she knew he had to give.

    "It would be a promise I cannot keep." He told her as kindly as he possibly could. "I'd rather not keep a father and his child from each other- a King and his heir even less so."

    Billa looked away but didn't flinch when a warm, rough hand touched her shoulder offering comfort. She desperately needed it. She was so frightened.

    "Did you love him?" She heard him ask. She clung to the sympathy in his voice and nodded as her eyes brimmed with tears.

    "Do you still?"

    The answer was barely a whisper- as small and secret as the fluttering heartbeat under her shaking hand.

    "Yes."

    EDIT: FIRST HALF OF CHAPTER 28 HAS BEEN REWORKED TO SATISFACTION [It is worth a second read though not necessary to continue on without issue]
