“Thorin, I have a weak heart. It has trouble pumping enough blood through my body. That’s why I’m always so low on energy. And…” Bilbo swallowed, forcibly keeping his eyes on the flickering flames. Thorin wasn’t moving by his side. “And it’s failing. There are healers in Greenwood who have gifts for mending hearts, but there isn’t much chance it will work. I haven’t been very responsive to any other methods, and… Well… I don’t have very long.” Bilbo dropped his eyes to his hands. He’d ripped the four-leaf clover Bofur had given him. It seemed horribly symbolic of his life.

Headed to Greenwood to see the healer Thranduil, Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey hitch a ride with thirteen dwarves headed to Erebor.

Bilbo had hoped it would be like the adventures he read. That there would be orcs, sword fights, torture, revenge, trolls, chases, or escapes.

He had never expected miracles or true love.

During an evening on his own Aidan decides to look through some of Dean's previous accomplishments.

Dean O'Gorman is an artist. He doesn't do fashion photography. Until now.

An incredible RPF featuring our favorite actors in an AU where Dean is a photographer, Aidan is a model, and lots of others make an appearance too!

While we still plan to continue with our fandom introductions and fic recs (keep sending ‘em!), we realized that there are sooo many Hobbit-related blogs out there that we will never get to do an introduction for each and every one.

So we will be periodically posting lists of blogs dedicated to the Hobbit fandom with links so you can browse and follow if you choose.

Even if a blog is listed on one of these posts, we may still do an introduction for that blog in the future to highlight them more thoroughly. And there may be some past introductions linked as well. The goal is to bring together as many Hobbit fans as possible, to keep the fandom alive and well for as long as possible.

So take a look at the blogs linked below and go make some new friends! You already know you have one huge thing in common!

Each of the members of the Company interacts with Fili and Kili as children. Dangerous levels of fluff ensue.

This is a collection of short ficlets that ties into my young Durins series, Firsts.

Elrond accidentally reads Lindir's personal journal and ends up discovering something his advisor desperately wanted to keep secret.

This fic is a work in progress, only one chapter so far. But for anyone who loves Elrond/Lindir...and daddy kink, it's a must read!

Bilbo liked Erebor, he really did. Even if everyone seemed convinced he was going to leave.

In which soil causes international incidents, Thorin is over-dramatic, and dwarves are rubbish at keeping secrets. Oh, and they build a garden. Eventually.

Another recommendation thanks!

From a recommendation:

These are wonderful little bits of baby durin fluff.  If you’re in need of a happy pick me up, these are just the ticket!

A longtime member of the fandom is the fantastic chemicaldefect09, who posted her first Hobbit RPF story back in February 2013!  She's got loads of Hobbit stories, and really shines in the RPF tag with some very hot smut.  She's participated in collaborations with thornyhedge in the past as well!

We recommend her newest Fili/Kili fic, a modern AU dealing with homophobia and religious views, What can make me whole again?  Or if you're looking for RPF smut, there's a great Richard/Aidan story (okay, there's lots of great Richard/Aidan stories) that we recommend called "He's pretty strong, he's big, and he's scary with that ponytail."

Now that chemicaldefect09 has been marked by the Rune, we encourage everyone to head over to her blog and send her an Ask to introduce yourself and say something positive! Suggestion: start with “<your name>, at your service! Thanks for being an amazing member of the fandom!  And if you’re shy, why not send a kind anonymous message to brighten her day! 

FLOOD HER WITH KINDNESS

We want fellow dwarves stumbling all over her blog and making her day! Please take a moment to stop by, say hello, and reblog this so it can reach as many other fans as possible!

RuneofGandalf is run by two bloggers. We both have other blogs, as well as full time lives, and as much as we would love to devote 100% of our time to The Hobbit, we just can't. Also, the both of us are rather partial to the Fili/Kili and Durincest side of fanfiction and fanart.

That's why we need your help. Send us fic recommendations, send us suggestions for our introductions, send us thoughts on things you would like to see highlighted!

For the fic recs, it does not have to be a finished story, we will accept WIP. It can be for any ship as long as the primary fandom is the Hobbit. Send us as much information as you have, fic title, author, where it can be found(ao3, ff,net, etc) and anything else you want to include.

For an introduction rec, the blogger must be active on tumblr. It can be for a fanfiction write, a fan artist, or a passionate fan. Again, the primary fandom needs to be the Hobbit.

Send us the recs in a fan mail or as an ask(no anons for introduction requests). We will post them as soon as is convenient for one of us.

And is there is something else you would like to see on our blog, let us know! As long as it is positive and related to the Hobbit, we want to hear it!

While we still plan to continue with our fandom introductions and fic recs (keep sending ‘em!), we realized that there are sooo many Hobbit-related blogs out there that we will never get to do an introduction for each and every one.

So we will be periodically posting lists of blogs dedicated to the Hobbit fandom with links so you can browse and follow if you choose.
