The adventure doesn't end after the Battle of Five Armies. Bilbo lingers in Erebor while Thorin recovers from his wounds, and soon finds himself caught up in politics, romance, and the occasional kidnapping. Ensemble cast. AU. Eventually Thorin/Bilbo.

Prequel to "A Thrush, Ready to Sing." The first winter after the battle, Thorin struggles to hold onto the truth. Some things, though, are certain beyond doubt. (Happy ending AU featuring acorns, hot cocoa, and first kisses.)

On the last night of winter, Bilbo sat shivering in a garden, trying to imagine the world without Thorin Oakenshield. (Another happy-ending fic, more or less.)

The moment when Bilbo realizes that there's only one mithril coat left in Erebor, and he's the one wearing it. Also featured: runes, old dwarven customs, and the danger of making out on narrow mountain ledges.

One drowsy August evening, a dwarven king wanders into the Shire and knocks on a familiar green door. "I knew you for a few bleak months and thirty years later I wake up wishing that you were beside me. I am surrounded by my kin and kingdom, but even in Erebor I am lonely for you." Thorin/Bilbo.
