    Summary

    For all that fire lends Gimli's hair and beard a lovely glow, it pains Legolas to see the same fire consume so much of what grows and lives. However, he is somewhat thoughtless in his words when he voices this, leading to Gimli drawing entirely the wrong conclusions. Legolas may need something more than mere words to make up for his error.

    Even next to the forges of Erebor, nothing warms him quite like Gimli's smile.

    Summary

    “The door remained hidden and the air was cold, lapping at him like waves in the distant seas of songs. The shadow enveloped him with a father’s tenderness. The world was slowly waking up. He was soaked to the bone, and the sun shone weakly upon his brow. Thorin Oakenshield was alive.”

    Against all odds, Thorin survives the Battle of the Five Armies. Bilbo, grappling with his feelings, decides to stay in Erebor. But when the magical ring he’s been keeping secret starts whispering to him in the night, Bilbo knows he must heed its call. Thorin follows him, haunted by a strange vision. A second journey, a kingdom’s rebirth and many terrible truths await them under the mountain…

    Summary

    “Where am I?” he mutters. Adrenaline is flooding through his body. His heart is beating so terribly that he can feel it inside his chest. His entire body has broken out in a cold sweat. And somehow, despite it all, his spidey-sense is dead silent. What does it know that the rest of his body doesn’t?

    “Our apartment,” says the man. He’s standing now. Peter didn’t notice when he got to his feet. “Can you tell me who you are, sweetheart?”

    Peter laughs, incredulous. He’s not exactly sure what he’s laughing at. “Peter,” he says. “Of course, I know who I am.”

    “Okay,” the man says, sounding just as concerned and careful as before. “But you don't know who I am?”

    Or: Peter gets amnesia, wiping out the last 5 years of his life. But really, how much can change in five years?
