    Summary

    Once the proper soaps and shampoos have been returned to Phoenix’s shower, Miles notices his partner examining himself in the mirror. Miles knows that face. It’s the brooding-about-one’s-appearance face. His own reflection wears it almost every time he sees it.

    Phoenix has had to pull Miles away from his nitpicking enough times that he has a few ideas about how to proceed. His hands rest on Phoenix’s shoulders. “Dearest? Is something wrong?”

    In the mirror, Miles watches Phoenix’s face shift to one of carefully wry neutrality. “Pssh. Nah, it’s nothing.”

    Miles frowns. “You are such a hypocrite.”

    “Never pretended not to be.”

    ---------------------------

    Or: Phoenix thinks he's letting himself go and isn't happy with his post-law appearance. Miles has a no-tolerance policy for such blatant untruths about the man he loves.

    Summary

    Six months after the company has reclaimed the misty mountain, the halls of Erebor, once again, thrum with life, laughter and the steady rhythm of Dwarven trade. It is well over-due that Thorin Oakenshield, Son of Thrór, Son of Thráin, King under the Mountain, confronts an injury he received during the Battle of the Five Armies. One he has done his best to put to the back of his mind.

    Namely, the wound to his foot.

    Despite Óin’s, and the rest of the company’s, best efforts, Thorin refuses to use the cane that will ease his pain and prevent further damage. It will take an equally stubborn hobbit to convince him otherwise and to reveal that some battles are best not fought alone.

    In doing so, uncomfortable truths are laid bare and moments of quiet longing surface. Amid Erebor’s rebuilding is a new chance for them to heal and begin building a future in which love, slowly and patiently, is ready to grow.
