After Bilbo sails into the West, he finds one last, unexpected greeting.

Line of Durin - First and Last moments

If more people valued home above gold, the world would be a merrier place.

Go!  Run!

at long last here’s the promised list of some of my favourite hobbit fanfics :) most of them are Bilbo/Thorin sorted into categories (including a much needed Fix-it section^^):

Hobbit Fanfiction Recommendations

((the arkenstone being the ~heart of the mountain~ and the acorn already having been established as bilbos emblem almost, eg his buttons))

lets go chronologically! one the goals of the quest is for thorin to reclaim the arkenstone, to essentially find his heart, his soul, his love and bilbo is hired to do this exact job to burgle and find his heart.

bilbo picks up the acorn in beorns house after the events on the carrock, having found his hearts purpose to go help this dwarf reclaim his homeland (and his heart)

in erebor, bilbo steals the arkenstone from under the nose of smaug (bilbo stealing thorins heart and rescuing it from dragon sickness) 

thorin confronts bilbo about the arkenstone, ‘did you find it?’ ((did you find my heart? have you found a way into it?))

ok now into bofa, thorin is searching for the arkenstone and cut to bilbo thinking about how he already stole his heart; and how it was physically lost in the gold (((how in thorin’s dragon sickness his only love was gold but eventually shifts to bilbo after he steals it)))

ACORN SCENE!!!! bilbo shows thorin his heart, his love for home, and thorin smiles because bilbo has his heart in his pocket

MITHRIL SCENE when thorin drags bilbo off ‘someone has stolen it. the arkenstone.’ ((someone has stolen my heart!!!!!!! [panics] )))

the negotiation scene with bard thrandy gandalf and bilbo, essentially “how is thorins heart yours to give????” “i took it as my share of the treasure it was the only thing i wanted in erebor” 

battlements scene, bilbo reveals how he has given thorins heart away, sacrificed his own happiness in love for the greater good of the world, (((YOU STOLE MY HEART)))), thorin banishes him for betraying his love

the painful scene ;____; thorin tells bilbo to plant his trees, plant his acorns and to do something meaningful with your heart and your love, bilbo does so and buries his heart in the ground and buries thorins heart next to him in the mountain, in both their homes where they belong with bilbo being a naturalistic hobbit and thorin a dwarf of stone

but even after the death of their hearts, life goes on and trees grow from seeds - bilbos love goes on to become frodos constant in his life, though his heart is forever connected to thorin like how oak trees will always grow from acorns   

In which hobbits are light on their feet and Bilbo is a show off

I do believe the worst is behind us now, Master Baggins.
