    Summary

    Drafting a contract is a gravely serious task in Dwarrow culture; a contract concerning courtship, betrothal, and marriage even more so. Bilbo, the formerly respectable Hobbit of Bag End, was no stranger to the business of contracts, although he seemed to have underestimated the vigor with which the scribes of Erebor took to their task. Despite Dwarven confusion, there are some things a Hobbit simply requires, even if that Hobbit will live in Erebor.

    Summary

    He’d grown up on Bilbo’s tales of adventure. Of dragons and dwarves and gold and glory. He thought that was what he wanted too. The immortalization that accompanies a hero. He got his wish, but at what cost? Real-life was not like the fantasies of his youth. Through his despair he accepted that a simple happily ever after doesn’t exist, and the hero doesn’t return unscathed. Being called the Mad Baggins of Bag End was not a title of praise, but a striking reminder of his inability to ever return to the bright, blue-eyed hobbit he once was; respected and accepted by his peers. He wonders—not for the first time—if Bilbo knew this too, and if the stories he filled Frodo’s young head with were purposefully absent of all that is dark and dismal. Death and destruction replaced by hope and victory. Meant to inspire, yet shield him from the true tragedy that accompanies a hero. If he can even call himself one.

    Or: An in-depth character study of a post-quest Frodo Baggins.

    Summary

    “Legolas! We were just discussing the differences between life in Mirkwood and life in Gondor. There was little Aragorn could tell, for he has only seen your lands as a visitor,” Boromir says. “Might you enlighten me over a nightcap this evening?”

    Legolas looks between them both as if they had presented him with a fine riddle. After a moment’s consideration, he nods. “If I am to tell you of Mirkwood, it is only right the discussion occurs over Dorwinion wine,” Legolas replies, and Boromir smiles. “Shall I set out two glasses or three?”

    “Three,” Aragorn says, before Boromir can answer for him. He expects Boromir to be annoyed, but instead he looks quietly pleased, and claps Aragorn upon the shoulder heartily.

    Before the fellowship leaves Rivendell, Elrond encourages the chosen nine to spend their days together, so that they might trust one another better before they venture forth.

    Boromir decides to take it one step further, and see what might be achieved by night.
