“You tickled me!” Bilbo answered, clearly amused, but also in a tone that sounded as though he believed it had been done deliberately. It hadn’t been, of course, but now a weakness had been exposed, and Thorin couldn’t help but grin. Bilbo seemed to realise his mistake and tried to warn him off with a glare, for all there was no threat to it whatsoever.

“Certainly not my intent,” Thorin dragged Bilbo back into the circle of his arms, tucking him firmly against his chest. Bilbo lay very still as he was held, and Thorin smirked into his hair. “You seem tense, my heart.”

“Don’t you do it,” Bilbo warned, laughter still playing about his tone like light, refreshing summer rain. “Don’t you dare!”

“I have no idea what you’re referring to?” Thorin said with practised neutrality, sliding his large hand down the curve of Bilbo’s back, then across to the swell of his hip.

“I mean it, Thorin!”

I'm genuinely such a wreck about this, I can't thank you enough for all your enthusiasm, excitement, for listening to me ramble on and on and on about all my little ideas, and most of all for utilising your incredible skill to create this beautiful piece of art 💛

I will cherish this! Thank you, thank you!

We interrupt our usual Orctober proceedings in order to SCREAM about the work of one @conkers-theficwriter

This being drawn for her work “Stealing Moments, Moments Away,” which is a reshirement AU in which she tackles @smolestboop 's  Bagginshieldtober prompts. It is SO heart-warming. I cannot recommend it, or any of the rest of her stories, enough. She writes them in a way that honors what complete idiots they are about each other (and I mean that in every sense of the word and on every moment in the timeline) and tackles interesting questions about their circumstances, both in canon – if we had gotten the overt representation they and we deserved – and in AU, in several ways (including a take on what would happen if the Company missed Durin’s Day and had to stay in Lake-town for a year), handling all aspects of their damage and their personalities with respect and love, and a sense of truly seeing them, imho.

You can check out all her work here, or “Stealing Moments, Moments Away” here. Go go go go go!! You won’t regret it 💙

Stealing Moments, Moments Away by Conkers 💛

"He watched Bilbo from the doorway, still unnoticed by his host, and felt a little of his annoyance fade at the sight. He was humming merrily to himself, standing over the hob and frying a pan of eggs, the early morning sunlight streaming in through the window and catching the gold and copper in his hair. His small hands were delicate, but deft as he cooked with practised ease, and Thorin couldn't help but notice how radiant Bilbo looked. There had been a time when he had been deeply concerned about how small the Hobbit had grown on their journey, and to see him now filling his clothes better, looking round and soft again as he ought, filled Thorin with a quiet sense of relief."

A series of scenes, drabbles, and shorts in the reshirement setting for Bagginshield-tober, as organised by the lovely @smolestboop !

Bagginshield-tober / Day 12: Nephews

I wrote another poem, so wanted to share it, or rather Bilbo did for Thorin because why wouldnt he?

Flowers and gems, both precious and rare

Both have their beauty, their charm and their flair

Flowers are fragrant, they bloom and they fade

They grace the gardens, the fields and the glades

Gems are eternal, they sparkle and shine

They adorn the crowns, the rings and the shrines

Flowers and gems, both different and alike

Both have their value, their worth and their price
