Summary
The thing Gandalf neglected to mention when he assured Thorin Oakenshield and Company that Bilbo Baggins of Bag End would be the perfect thief for their mission was this:
A Hobbit wouldn't be able to tell a diamond from a pearl, or from an Arkenstone - no matter how hard they try.
This leads to some confusion, on Bilbos part. And some frustration, again on Bilbos part.
(What sort of a description was 'heart of the mountain', anyway? A useless one, that's what.)

Summary
Everyone knows the story.
Child gets upset with parents (Who are eventually shown to not be very unreasonable at all because MORALS), child runs away from home (Or a close enough facsimile to fit the author's needs at least), child realizes that life on their own isn't as easy as they thought it would be (Especially when the plot is specifically contrived to be against them), which prompts child to either return home on their own or be rescued (Invariably resulting in an oversaturated supersaccharine ending where the reader is soundly beaten round the head with both premise and moral to thoroughly indoctrinate them to the concepts of obedience and submission), and everyone lives "happily" ever after (exactly the way they're told to).
In most versions of reality where Adrien Agreste runs away from home, it's a story he winds up living out until he tries again at thirteen when he decides to go to school. Sometimes though, rarely, but sometimes, the story changes when he meets a baker's daughter.
The thing about all those cardboard cutout runaways? None of them had supernatural Luck on their side.

Summary
When Mahal himself offers to send Thorin back to the start of the quest to save the line of Durin, he is determined to make amends for all of the mistakes he made the first time around.
When Bilbo wakes up in Bag End eighty years in the past, all he knows is that he has somehow been given the chance to see his beloved dwarves again and he'll be damned if he doesn't take it.
Both dwarf and hobbit are desperate to prevent the quest from ending in tragedy, but neither will be able to do it on their own. They'll need to work together if they want to keep the entire Company alive and whole --but first they need to realize that they are not alone in their efforts, and they have to stop getting in each other's way at every turn they make.
Hopefully, they'll learn some things this time that they failed to learn before. And maybe, just maybe, they'll find their happy ending that both have been yearning for.

Summary
On the morning Bilbo Baggins leaves on the quest for Erebor for the eighth time, she is two hundred and eighty-one years old. To all the rest of the world, she is fifty-one. Regardless, nobody can ignore the way she confidently blazes the path for the thirteen dwarves trailing behind her, not even their enemies, and especially not Thorin Oakenshield, whose life she is bent on saving even if it kills her, because it already has.
Time travel fix-it groundhog day style featuring a female Bilbo Baggins.
