    Summary

    Hollyhocking is a common hobbitish disease that crops up when a hobbit feels a sudden, deep, overwhelming affection for another. Its symptoms are in the flowers that erupt from the afflicted's lungs, and its cure is found in the fulfillment of the relationship, the removal of the flowers, or a separation from the object of one's affection.

    As far as history goes, no Baggins has ever experienced a spontaneous, deep, overwhelming, unexpected attraction to anyone. As far as Bilbo Baggins is concerned, none ever will.

    Summary

    Written in response to a prompt by thotinshield on Tumblr:

    "my brain is filled with au where thorin is considered unattractive by dwarven standards, bilbo thinks hes handsome, and is pining after him, but thorin is in the classic situation of having to get married and dealing with lots of suitors and theres a bit in there about bilbo hearing some of the dwarrowdams gossiping about how thorin is "ugly" and bilbo being like WHAT"

    Erebor needs a queen, and Thorin is set to marry a dwarrowdam to be his consort. No matter how much it breaks his heart, Bilbo takes it upon himself to ensure Thorin only receives the best and decides to scope out the candidates. Everything goes well, and he finds one that looks promising, until he uncovers a rather disturbing fact about the crop of potential consorts.

    Summary

    For a moment, Thorin looks winded, his eyes wide and his jaw set tightly like Bilbo has wrung him out to dry. He seems out of his depth—it’s written all over his face, really—and Bilbo would be moved to sympathy if he didn’t know that somehow, this warranted Thorin seeking him out in the middle of the night. He remains guarded for both of their sakes.

    “I have never courted anyone before, and I was not educated in the art before the dragon came.”

    “Alright.”

    “If I remember correctly, you have been- involved, with other hobbits before.”

    “... I have.”

    “Please teach me how to kiss.”

    Summary

    Thorin did not know why he was doing this. There was nothing he needed to say to the hobbit at the end of his journey, and yet from the moment he’d left, Thorin pondered him fiercely, desired to see him well and happy again as though the hobbit had stolen his own personage and taken it all the way back to the Shire, under Thorin’s nose itself.

    No turning back. Thorin did not know why he was doing this, but he knew he needed to do it.

    ~~~

    Thorin tracks Bilbo down after recovering from the Battle of the Five Armies. He stays longer than intended.
