Summary
Growing up in the reclusive boundaries of the Shire, Bilbo Baggins learned early on that she had to ensure no one knew what she was. It had to remain secret. So she contented herself to a peaceful hobbitish life filled with books and tea, all to ease her intentional solitary lifestyle. Until she catches sight of Thorin. Not only is she a dwarf master of the forge, but she is a stunning Lady with a hidden past and even more dangerous secret than Bilbo's. And whats worse? She knows Bilbo's secret.
Pleasant warmth blanketed Bilbo inside and out. It felt natural to talk to Thorin and time slipped past her fingers as they connected. She had never felt so naturally drawn to someone. A shame she couldn't do anything about it. At least she could enjoy this moment together.
Any weak conviction that their touch was simply platonic was gone when Thorin's cool fingers brushed through her curls. Bilbo shuddered from the delightful touch. Thorin grinned, eyes half lidded as the hobbit melted into her side from the mere petting of her hair. "Thorin?" Bilbo's hand clutched her empty mug, desperate to stay tethered to something that wasn't the tempting dwarf.

Summary
Erebor was overrun with the dangerous pests, an infestation more pernicious than any that even Thorin’s grandfather could remember. When Gandalf admitted that his magic could do no good against the little beasts, but promised to send help from the West, Thorin had imagined many things—a fireproof giant who would stomp the dragons flat, a cunning Ranger who would lay traps and poison—but never a plump, beardless hobbit with crinkly eyes and a wagging tongue.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins isn't sure about this. Not one bit.
Frodo is definitely too young to enter into an arranged marriage with a dwarven king called Thorin Oakenshield. It's a good thing that Bilbo is there to chaperone him through their courtship.
After all, there's no chance that a fussy hobbit bachelor would ever catch the eye of a king.

Summary

Frodo happily lives his life as an only child with his single father, but as his wedding with Sam grows near he can't help but be curious as to who his other father could be. When he finds Bilbo’s diary from the year he was born, he impulsively invites the three possible options to his wedding. What he doesn't expect is for them to actually show up and to cause so much chaos and strife for his father before his big day.

Summary
“Bilbo Baggins!” the raven cried as it shuffled its feet and turned its head to look at him with one eye. “Bilbo Baggins of the Shire!”
“Yes, yes,” Bilbo told it as he got to his feet and looked around before gesturing at the bird to lower its voice. “You found me. Do you have a message for me?”
“The curse is worse!” The bird cried. “It is spreading! I fear that we shall all perish this year without your aid! To Erebor! To Erebor!”
Or the one where Erebor never fell but Bilbo still ends up there because Smaug curses the land. He's called in to use his magic to help heal it and meets Thorin. Though neither of them are exactly pleased by their first meeting, they do become friends. As Bilbo works his magic, he finds that the land is not the only thing he's there to heal.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins is a gentle hobbit of good reputation. He is the proprietor of his family estate and has a comfortable fortune. He is also unmarried, at the age of 43, and the whole of the Shire is speculating that the vein of wildness that plagues his family line is hindering his chances. In fact, no one in the Shire can understand Bilbo’s refusal of so many proposals from very auspicious matches. But, when a mansion built on the far west side of the Shire is occupied by visiting royals, the Master of Bag-End might just find his perfect match. That is, if prides and prejudices can be put aside.

Hopefully they'll find their way to each other and help each other change for the better.
