    Summary

    A series of (Rule-63ed) canon out-takes and what-ifs, leading up to a rather different ending - or, more accurately, a rather different beginning. It is, as Gandalf said, the small things that matter most.

    [Addendum 2-18-2015: There are now illustrations, in a few chapters, with more to come - if you've seen these drawings before (say, on Tumblr), shhh, I promise I'm the same person. :) ]

    Summary

    The hobittesses have trained their birds since time immemorial. It is a secret craft, passed from mother to bairn, that is treasured along with harvest and hole and hearth. In their trade between Ered Luin and Erebor in the far east, this craft is noticed and revered by Durin’s folk. The Queen, Dris mother of Dis, decides that this skill would be the next craft for her, after crippling her dominant hand in the forge. Seeking the best teacher she finds herself & her daughter ensconced in Bag End, under the tutelage of one Belladonna Baggins nee Took; Talon of the Shire. Like small pebbles starting an avalanche, the friendship of two mothers, and their children, would change the fates of their two families.
