    Summary

    "The Burglar?" Thorin cuts him off. He has to know. He has to know.

    Balin takes a deep breath, and Thorin feels like the world is dropping out from below him as Balin gently says, "we found him on the battlefield-"

    Summary

    “Well, it’s been quite a while since the battle.” Almost two months, two months he has happily spent in Erebor, being with his friends, watching the Mountain come back to life.

    He thinks about it all again. There’s nothing keeping him here, he has done his job, Erebor and its treasure are Thorin’s, exactly as they planned nearly a year ago in Bag End. He has lingered in the aftermath, and he should return home, since there is virtually no reason for him to remain here.

    Except… home is where the heart is, after all. His heart is definitely not in Bag End anymore, but with the very Dwarf before him. However, this is not a good enough reason to stay, not when he knows his feelings will never be reciprocated.

    “So, I’ve been thinking of heading back home.”

    Thorin stills. The kind smile on his face vanishes slowly.

    Summary

    As a fauntling, not even double digits, Bilbo Baggins falls from a tree and splits his skull neatly in two. He had been exploring alone, and so is left unbothered as he lays dead in the grass. He is still unbothered half an hour later when he sits up, stares curiously at the bloodstained earth, and scampers back home. He stands in the kitchen, happily munching a cranberry-orange scone and oblivious to Belladonna’s tears as she runs her fingers frantically through his blood matted hair.

    or

    Bilbo can't die, and the company finds out much sooner than he had planned (implying he had been meaning to tell them at all, but, well, Bilbo would be a fool to believe anything would go as planned on this confounded journey).

    Summary

    He wasn’t dead.
    Or, if he was, the halls of his fathers were gone completely, replaced with this strange afterlife.
    But he doubted it.
    And if he wasn’t dead, and this was the quest once more… he had to make sure nothing changed.
    In battle, two simple seconds could be the difference between life and death, and they had narrowly escaped death far too many times.

    Or:
    After dying on Ravenhill, Thorin gets sent back in time to the start of the quest, and is determined to do things right.

    Bilbo is kidnapped by dwarves looking to hurt the king. Though he manages to escape, he is badly injured and no longer feels safe in Erebor. Thorin, furious at the harm done to his burglar, seeks vengeance. Unfortunately, all he really wants is to find a way to make Bilbo comfortable at his side once again, and that is more difficult.
