“Hush, kurdumê,” “What are you calling me?” “I would happily tell you, abnâmê. If you would tell me in exchange what the meaning is for bluebells in your secret flower language?” “Well, time to get up, I should think,” Backs to the Wall by Conkers @conkers-thecosy

YOU STUBBORN LITTLE TART BILBO

[lucradiss]

'“Perhaps a story?” Gandalf suggested, far too innocently. “I believe I have just the tale for such a night as this!”

“I bet you do,” Bilbo muttered from above.

“One about a wolf and a hobbit,” Gandalf continued, either not hearing Bilbo’s annoyance, or just ignoring him entirely. “A member of our very own company, in fact.”'

-@conkers-theficwriter, Chapter 1 of Poet

AO3 is down, which gave me the motivation to actually do something productive! And I've been wanting to draw this scene since I read it. Anyway when AO3 is back up, read Conkers' series!! (Part one is Soldier!)

[conkers-thecosy]

Been a while since I last made a fic rec list, and I recently went through all the newer bagginshield works on AO3, so I wanted to share some of my favourites! These are all amazing, please go give them a read if you haven't already! 💛 These are all completed, but if anyone is interested I might also do a list of incomplete works in progress that I'm feral about as well!

~

"Green-Handed" by lotusOkid Post-BotFA, while Thorin, Fili, and Kili are slowly recovering from their wounds, Bilbo finds himself subject to a condition that hobbits might experience at a few very particular times in their lives, under very particular circumstances, none of which apply to him. Very confused (and somewhat embarrassed) he decides to keep it a secret during this delicate time in the mountain. This goes about as well as you might expect.

~

"The Burden of Choice" by @fantasyinallforms Thorin Oakenshield is the crown prince of one of the strongest kingdoms in Middle Earth, but in the last year, the kingdom has struggled to keep its place among the ruling powers of Middle Earth. Erebor was held under vicious siege by the dragon Smaug, who terrorised the land and wiped out the nearby human settlement of Dale. The hardship forces Erebor into a difficult position, creating no other choice but for King Thror to seek alliances with other kingdoms and races through the bonds of marriage. Will Thorin see this as his duty to his kingdom or take another path entirely?

~

"No Grave Can Hold My Body Down" by @chaoticangel666 Bilbo returns to The Shire after the Battle of the Five Armies. He might be going insane though, because why does the ghost of Thorin Oakenshield keep showing up when he least expects it? Follows the events from the end of The Hobbit until the end of The Lord of the Rings.

~

"Handsome Stranger" by kriegswaffel A handsome stranger arrives at Hobbiton, both reminding and distracting Bilbo Baggins from the upcoming negotiations between a Dwarven Envoy all the way from Erebor and the official-inoffical leadership of the Shire regarding trade. As he gets more wrapped up in matters, can he find something true and lasting with someone so different - and maybe entirely different from what he expected? Or will he get his heart broken again, at long last, having hoped where there was no hope, or even only betrayal?

~

"What's In A Name" by broken_pencils A short scene that takes place post-canon, in which Bilbo and Thorin discuss the uniquely hobbit custom of family surnames. ~ "And Watch Them Grown" by @sunnyrosewritesstuff Thorin survives his battle to find Bilbo laying unconscious in the snow. Unable to carry him down, Thorin leaves him with his ring on to get help. Only he doesn’t make it very far before collapsing. Waking in the healing tents, Thorin comes to realize no one made it back up to save Bilbo! ~ "The Kitchen Thief" by @mordellestories There are pests. At first, Thorin thought one of his assistants was stealing from him. And that may have been why he was a bit harsher on them than what was deemed necessary. But one by one, the workers were replaced only for the goods to keep vanishing into thin air. It was driving him to madness. And when Thorin wasn’t at peace, everyone knew it. So, it had to be pests, right? Pixies, brownies, rats, something was pilfering his hard work and it was happening more often as time went by. ~ "The things you see in the market." by GothicMama Krelven just wants to explore the market on his day off. But instead he gets thrown for multiple loops when he sees two extremely familiar faces.

thorin: i have disgraced myself

me: what's new lol

[thorin]

finally caught up with @conkers-thecosy's amazing slow burn fic & thought i'd sum it up for you guys visually

[its-still-atlass]

Read chapter 5 of Soldier by the ever so talented and always lovely @conkers-theficwriter and got inspired to draw this scene!

"In the end, it didn’t matter. He waited too long, caught on the precipice of his decision, and a firefly landed square on the end of Bilbo’s round, button nose. The Hobbit blinked very quickly in surprise, his hand releasing Thorin’s arm, and his eyes crossing comically to look at the bright little insect lighting up his face."

it just took me a good five minutes to remember what chestnuts are called. i'm doing so amazingly well right now if you were wondering.

[edwardallenpoe]

Hullo! So this is just my opinion, buuuut for the "what vibes do I give off" post, I'd say chaotic, artistic genius!

omg thank you so much!!!! 😭😭😭 This is very high praise coming from you, bc you're amazing!!! If anyone is the artistic genius, I'd say it was you, but we can both be hobbit-nerds together lol.

To me, I'd say you give off sweet, compassionate, welcoming and creative vibes!!! You're like, half the reason I let The Hobbit evolved from a hyperfixation to a special interest bc you make the fandom a brighter place 🌟

I am trying to get better about commenting honestly. I sometimes comment when I absolutely love fics but usually when I do I bookmark them first and 'comment' under the bookmark summary section. You'll find like three separate times where I just typed "oy vey" in lieu of an actual comment because of how moved I was

Hey question

Yada yada please reblog for bigger sample size I have theories

Also if you do or do not see your answer feel free to pick what's closest and leave reasonings in the tags :3

Stealing Moments, Moments Away

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 out his clothes better, looking round and soft again as he ought, filled Thorin with a quiet sense of relief. *** Or: A collection of shorts, scenes, and drabbles for the Bagginshield-tober prompt list by Smolestboop on tumblr!
