    Summary

    In every timeline, none could so perfectly encapsulate the dynamic between the cold, unshakable Sub-Zero and the cunning, manipulative Shang Tsung as this one. Bi Han often thought to himself that Liu Kang must have played a sickly game by creating this impish fiend.
    And yet, Bi Han could not stop himself from thinking about this man. This tantalizingly abhorrent man, with goals only of power and control, selfish until his own undoing. Oh, how Bi Han prayed so desperately to put him in his place, one way or another.

    Summary

    There had been a dwarf in his home for roughly three days before the confounded wizard had shown up with all his grand announcements about adventures. His name is apparently Frerin and Bilbo is fairly certain no one else can see him. Also he might be a ghost, as much as it pains Bilbo to acknowledge that ghosts are apparently real.

    Or

    The thing about ghosts is that there aren’t many, especially in the shire. You have to be really really stubborn to avoid the afterlife or there would be ghost just about every where. Naturally you’re unlikely to find anyone more stubborn than the line of durin.

    Summary

    As much as he tries, Bilbo cannot stop looking at a certain majestic dwarf. The Quest is a journey of self-discovery, but also an unexpected awakening of his desire, that Bilbo learns to accept and embrace. Meanwhile, Thorin is not as oblivious as the hobbit thinks, and may be laying a snare of his own.

    This fic and companion art piece were created specifically for TSF2024 as a tribute to Thorin’s beauty amidst the blossoming season, exploring how a hobbit, knowledgeable with flower-language, would perceive it as part of his own sexual awakening. The blossoms of early spring Bilbo admired from a distance, turned into ripe fruits to be devoured in the summer.
