The Hobbit, Bagginshield

The Color of Possibility
http://archiveofourown.org/works/3065291/chapters/6651707
When Bilbo puts himself between Thorin and Azog's blade, his mithril shirt protecting them both, it isn't long before some dwarves whisper that 'Oakenshield' might not be the best epithet for their king anymore. But for Bilbo, barred from Thorin's sight since the battle, this new epithet only adds to the sting. Spending his days caring for the recovering princes, Bilbo wonders how much more of this he can take, not suspecting his place at the center of a silent divide in the company.

And I'm Your Lionheart
http://archiveofourown.org/works/635948/chapters/1151573
Bilbo lingers in Erebor while Thorin recovers from his wounds, and soon finds himself caught up in politics, romance, and the occasional kidnapping. Ensemble cast. AU. Eventually Thorin/Bilbo.

(Also Legolas/Gimli)
Sansûkh
http://archiveofourown.org/works/855528/chapters/1637607
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).

Dragon Age
Solas/f!Lavellan
Apotheosis
http://archiveofourown.org/works/2760119/chapters/6188690
"The humans have not raised one of our people so high for ages beyond counting. Her faith is hard won, lethallin, worthy of pride."

I don't think it's a coincidence that Solas takes flirting from tame to fade-tongue after the assault on Haven. This will be a loose collection of shorts exploring the unspoken dynamics that must have shaped their relationship as elven mages; given we know that Lavellan was raised to be a First and their clear age difference, I suspect a dash of "hot for teacher" colors the whole thing. Fitting, considering that sneaky Solas comment about dominance.

Dorian/m!Inquisitor
Serpent's Coil
http://archiveofourown.org/works/3100382/chapters/6717020
Some time after the events of DA: Inquisition, Dorian can no longer ignore what he feels he is meant to do. The Inquisitor wishes to aid him, but can he do so without overshadowing his inamorato?

Birthrights
http://archiveofourown.org/works/2957918/chapters/6537161
The Inquisitor finds acceptance, bravery, and love.

Home Again
http://archiveofourown.org/works/2853518/chapters/6396746
After everything he'd been through, and after all the toils and troubles...With the Inquisition still going strong, but the world changed, Alexander Trevelyan deserved and needed to see his family. But he didn't want to go alone.

(Also a dozen Cullen fic that I've fallen behind on.)

Yessssss, more Hobbit fic. I thank thee.

No problem! I'm pretty sure there's a few others I'm following as well but I can't think of them ATM. Having just seen BOTFA I imagine I'm going to be hanging around The Hobbit fandom for a while.

Come cry with the rest of us as we pretend that the ending of the film didn't happen and everyone lived. :<

~~Or read canon compliant fic and have your heart torn out all over again~~.

Edited 2015-01-12 01:06 (UTC)

NGL, I loved the ending of the film so much and the only thing I would change is the way in which the characters died (Fili would've died protecting Kili, Kili would've cried over his dead brother before charging back into battle and dying, Thorin wouldn't have stared at Azog for five minutes after he fell under the ice... Okay, we also would've gotten a funeral and a longer goodbye with the dwarves and Bilbo), not that they actually died. I'm a masochist because it hurts me so, but tragic Bilbo/Thorin delights me in some sick way. That the movie made their relationship even easier to ship (IDEK what TPTB were thinking with a few of these scenes because they didn't seem platonic at all) pleases me so much.

In my experience it's much easier to find AU fic where everyone lives than it is to find canon compliant fic! I do love happy AU's, but I want the terrible angst too, guys.

Ugh man, like I loved the film but Fili was kind of tossed aside and that annoyed me a little I wont lie. Like I didn't need anyone breaking down over him during the fight, and I liked that Kili initially went off for revenge against the orcs, but I would have liked to have someone mourn over him like Thorin got Bilbo and Kili got Tauriel.(Honestly I had hoped that Dwalin would go over to him, or be carrying his body over to Thorin's at the end of that whole bit, but that was not to be).

Oh yeah I get you, even though what happened is awful and sad I wouldn't have changed it either. I'm just in a strange place where I'm happily reading everyone lives AU's and canon-compliant angsty fic, like these aren't character deaths that I reject happening.

(They made Thorin/Bilbo so easy to ship, so ridiculously easy).

Yea, I didn't appreciate how Fili was ignored. Like, Kili had that moment standing up to Thorin, and they did the forehead-touch thing, and poor Fili was left standing in the background. Kili got a (totally unnecessary, though I do like Tauriel) love interest and Fili got...basically nothing, lmao. Poor Fili, ugh. I would've liked Dwalin rushing to his side or carrying his body over to Thorin's too. Maybe the extended edition will include a funeral, and hopefully there will be at least one or two Fili scenes.

Sometimes it is nice to read happy AU fic! I def enjoy reading about Erebor being rebuilt and Thorin adjusting to being King, and seeing what the rest of the company get up to and how Bilbo fits into everything. There's some damn good fic in this fandom.

(That acorn scene...I'm so confused as to how we were meant to view that scene. Thorin's adoring smile went on far too long for it to look like anything other than a love scene. Maybe I'm wearing slash goggles...)

Considering that Fili was one of the dwarves that dies and was Thorin's heir I was hoping that he'd get more scenes and attention than he did, maybe trying to talk to Thorin when he's taken by the sickness, maybe talking to Bilbo and them worrying over Thorin. Something yanno? (Ha, man I love Tauriel a lot, her romance plot though? Not so much). I do know that the extended edition has the funeral in it, so here's hoping we might get a bit more Fili too.

You need a break from the soul-crushing sadness sometimes.

(The acorn scene, the freaking camera angle when Bilbo is talking to a dying Thorin(for a split second I legit thought Bilbo was going to kiss him at that point). There was so much to work with for Thorin/Bilbo in BoFA, it was unreal).

If the film had cut Kili and Tauriel's romance and given Fili a bit more screentime that would've been lovely. (I don't even dislike Kili/Tauriel, it just felt kind of shoehorned in. I actually dig the idea, but the execution was clumsy. Plus, it just didn't need to be there.) Fili and Kili should've had at least one nice scene together, too. Maybe Fili should've approached Thorin with Dwalin? I love that scene as is, but wouldn't have protested Fili (And Kili, for that matter) being included. He should've had something to say to his Uncle. (Where did you hear that about the funeral? The extended edition can't come out soon enough!)

(That and cutting between Kili and Tauriel and Bilbo and Thorin. Their last lines together felt very 'our unspoken love will now never be realized, go on without me'. Plus, dat Balin and Bilbo scene! “He was never that to me, he was..." Poor Bilbo.)

Man the idea of Tauriel/Kili is cute as hell(some of the fanart for it I've seen is adorable) but like you it felt so clumsily done to me, which is a shame because I didn't mind it in DoS. And if we're talking about things that should be cut out, Alfrid, he got way more screen-time than he should have. Way too much. I'd have liked Fili to have stood up to Thorin with Kili tbh, I don't get why he didn't really, though Fili and Kili talking with Dwalin could have been good too.(I felt so sorry for Dwalin there man, so sorry :()

(Ugh sorry I said 'know' should have said there's speculation that the funeral will be in the EE, there's stills from it online(there's a few on tumblr and one here: https://atolkienistperspective.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/the-battle-of-the-five-armies-extended-edition-speculation/) and it has been shot so it should be put into the EE, they'd be silly not to).

(It's how he faltered so badly over finishing that sentence and Balin's knowing smile, like really guys make it easy to ship this why don't you :|).

Alfrid was fucking horrible. I would've been fine with Alfrid dying with The Master... he was just so annoying. (I mean, I get that was the point, but he took up precious screentime.) And agreed on Dwalin. While I want more Fili and Kili, I am glad that Dwalin got one gorgeous scene. (It was actually one of my favorites in the film! There wasn't much time to explore Thorin and Dwalin's friendship, but I still felt there was a lot of history there nonetheless and I'm glad Dwalin got to call him out on his shit.)

Ooo, thanks for this! I hadn't seen it. I imagine they'll include the funeral then, since it's already shot and everything. Can't wait!)

(Yes! Balin knows what's up. Then the scene back at Bag End with the contract... They really hammered the point home. Poor Bilbo. Poor everyone, really.)

I really want to read Sansukh (it's been in my bookmarks for a year), but I am waiting until it's complete.

That's probably a good idea considering how long the fic has been going. I have no idea if there's an end in sight (I'm behind), but it would be absolutely terrible if the author didn't finish. It's an epic fic, though. (The character dynamics, hnnng.) I haven't read many that well written, it's just a lot to take in.
