Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
It's 1927, and the newly reinstated co-DMLE Percival Graves travels to Paris to attend the Wizarding Congress regarding sightings of the escaped dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Uneasy with the situation back in NY, Graves is plagued by paranoia and by foreboding. His magic depleted and his position precarious, Graves expects trouble.
In Paris, he crosses paths with one Mr. Scamander, there to give a reading of his newly published and vastly successful bestiary.
And then with Grindelwald himself, who seems strangely intent upon recruiting the magizoologist...

Summary
Percival takes in his unruly mop of hair, the spray of freckles across his nose and cheeks, the bow tie, the blue coat, down to his white-knuckled grip on a shabby brown suitcase. He sighs.
"Newt Scamander," he says, leaning back in his chair.
"I have permits!" says Scamander, twitching. He draws the suitcase closer to his body.

Summary
Newt was essentially frog-marched into the director's office, and at this point, felt very put out by the whole affair. He rather thought he had been man-handled enough for the past 24 hours. This was certainly some way to treat a helpful informant.
Then, he saw the man at his desk, and his jaw dropped. “You?”
The director of magical security looked up, already scowling, and recognition flared in his eyes. “You,” he growled.
Newt blinked for a few moments, glanced around, and mindlessly tugged a bit at the magical binds around his wrists. “I’m s-sorry, but is this how you treat everyone who walks through MACUSA’s doors? It seems a bit extreme and unnecessarily aggressive.”
--
In which Newt gets his latch fixed, so his creatures don't escape, Graves is never Grindelwald, and Newt immediately knows what the problem is (those big, gaping holes in the city were not caused by any of his creatures, thank you very much).
Or, Newt Scamander and an exasperated, smitten Percival Graves save the wizarding world.
