    Summary

    Waking up in a time that has long gone by is as confusing as it is terrifying. The latter especially rings true when Gimli realizes that he is going to meet people he has mourned for decades... and that he might have come here alone. Also, what if - what if he cannot change all the wrongs that happened the last time?

    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

    Where hobbits didn't forget their nomadic culture and remembered who they are.

    Hobbits were created from earth and plant. They were the children of Aule and Yavanna, made in celebration of their bonding. They knew the earthen tongue. Plant and earth come to their aid.

    What would the journey to Erebor be like with a female Bilbo who knew a little about surviving?

    or --

    Basically me combining my desire to make Hobbits their own race (which means they get a gift of their own from Eru since all of his children get something cool), having a female Bilbo while making what happens sort of realistic as Gandalf is apparently known to take a lad or Lass of into the blue for an adventure, and making hobbits actually have a culture the reflects their past nomadic life.

    Great groundwork, a fascinating myth construction around Hobbits which put Tolkien world in a whole new light, a Fili being more than a brother and faithful nephew, and you just want. to. know.everything !
