Summary
The Orcs had moved off, their noise and their stench following them. The beasts had given up their incessant growling to go sniff at a half-eaten carcass in the mud some yards away. Silence rolled in like fog, heavy and bleak.
Had it not been so still, so quiet, Bilbo wouldn’t have heard the Elf’s breath catch in his throat. Had he not heard that, he also might’ve actually left him there.
But Bilbo did hear it. He knew that noise, he knew it well. It’s what someone sounds like when they’re trying very, very hard not to cry.
Set somewhere in the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo makes a pit-stop (and a friend?) on his way to give the Arkenstone to Thranduil.

Summary
Gimli, freshly-wakened, was lying with his head propped on one hand, his blanket at his waist. And he said, his voice morning-hoarse, "If my memory doesn't fail me, we'll be reaching the River Limlight soon. I'd dearly love a wash."
Legolas's heart seized and tightened. The Limlight was in the very north of the forest, and once across it, they would emerge from their easy wandering, cracking out of the chrysalis to the pain of the open air. No more Fangorn, no more careless peace, no more Gimli at dawn stretching his muscles limber and grumbling about the wear of a bootsole.
And all the future losses lined themselves up.
