Destiny is like a reflection in a lake; easily disturbed and yet unavoidable. No matter where one hides, fate will always catch up. And that is what happened to Dahlia Baggins.

After the life she knew was destroyed, Rue, a nymph of the East, crosses paths with the company of Thorin Oakenshield. The company allows her to travel with them, but there may be a problem: they believe she is a young boy. Will they let her stay when they find out? And if she does stay...what will happen then? (slow building romance)

Dis finds an abandoned elf babe at the lake and refusing to leave her, she raises her as her own, naming her Aria. As the years pass Aria seems to posses gifts and when her uncle leaves in the journey to reclaim Erebor she makes plans to follow, though little does she know her path will cross with a certain elf prince.

Deep in the mines of Moria, by the side of a dead dwarf, Merry finds a letter addressed to a Jerelee. After the War of the Ring, he shows it to Gandalf, and he and Pippin set out to visit an old woman in the city of Dale to deliver a letter that should have been sent long ago. Companionfic to 'An Unexpected Companion', but not necessary to read that to understand this. Oneshot.

When Thorin calls for a meeting of 13 dwarfs to reclaim their home, he never expected to see someone from his past. Someone he thought to be dead, but seeing as Smaug destroyed her home as well she has every right to come along on this journey. Of course, that doesn't mean he has to like it.

(Set after the Battle of Five Armies) Dwarves flock back to Erebor in full force, excited about their new home. Thorin Oakenshield was King Under the Mountain and although he'd never planned to take a wife many eager, haughty Dwarrowdams pursued him anyway. But then there was Ora, a mellow minded Dwarrowdam and a simple baker who seemed to have a knack for causing trouble.

Thorin had never intended to take a wife or have children of his own, but hidden danger within Erebor means he must produce heirs to remain King under the Mountain - to do so he must first find a Queen! And candidates are in no short supply! ThorinxOC
