    Summary

    Continuation of A Bounder's Memory

    When Bilbo was young, he dreamed of becoming a Bounder – one of the quiet, watchful guards who kept the borders of the Shire safe from the outside world. He believed it would feed his hunger for adventure, for something more than hearths and gardens. What it gave him instead was blood, fire, and silence.

    He watched his friends fall, homes burn, and the peace of the Shire unravel. In time, he folded away his cloak and buried his blades beneath the floorboards of Bag End, seeking to forget.

    So when Gandalf appears with talk of a quest and a company of dwarrow, Bilbo is ready to refuse – until he hears a name he thought was buried. A name that was tied to the ruin of all he had held dear.

    With ghosts stirring in his memory and a deep fury rising once more, Bilbo dons his cloak again. Not for the promise of gold or glory, but for one final journey of vengeance. To fulfill his vow.

    Summary

    All Bilbo wanted was to be an ambassador to one of the richest kingdoms in Middle Earth. Upon meeting its prince, his opinion is greatly lessened. However, Bilbo still finds himself agreeing to play the part of his consort to help free Erebor from the gold mad Thror. Turns out, Thror may not be as blind as his grandson thinks, and intends to use Bilbo to get rid of Thorin once and for all.

    Summary

    In the Shire there were two truths. The Tooks were odd and the Baggins were respectable. The Baggins family dealt in contracts and favours, and while the Shire knew that the Tooks were odd, it was the Baggins family that had other blood running through their veins.
    Bilbo Baggins did not go running out his door for want of an adventure, he went running out his door because of a terribly worded contract and a laughable quest that somehow held the spark of other.
    In this story, it is not the Tooks that held fae blood in their family tree, it is the Baggins, and theirs is so much closer to the surface.

    Summary

    It was sheer chance when Bilbo thought back on it. What if he’d stayed home? What if someone else had run up the lane before him?

    But it was him. It was him and it was Kíli, and Bilbo wouldn’t change it for the world.

    *

    Long ago, a dwarf child was lost and found in a storm by Bilbo Baggins. He has no idea where his young ward came from; all attempts to find Kíli's family failed. Sticking together, they make do and it's a peaceful life.

    Until Gandalf arrives with talk of adventure. Until the Company of Thorin Oakenshield arrives on their doostep.

    Or: Kíli's a missing prince. Bilbo's not about to let his (son) ward face a dragon without him.
