"There is evil growing again in this world. I can feel it in the air, in the ground, all around me. It is not strong - yet - but it is there."

If the Dark Returns (Hobbit AU, post BotFA)

It had been four years since that meddling wizard had asked her to join their quest, three years since the Battle of the Five Armies had been won by the dwarves, elves, and men. Stryker, Ranger of the North, had refused the offer, wanting nothing to do with Thorin Oakenshield. There was darkness leeching into the world again, threatening all who lived there, and she had work to do. So why was she so unsettled? A chance encounter with a dwarven princess and then an unexpected mission from her Chieftain sends her exactly where she had no desire to go but felt pulled to nonetheless. She'll have to learn to put her dislike of the dwarven king behind her if she wants to help stop the darkness that wants to return.
