Summary
Podfic of one of my favorite NotTasha stories. Rodney learns he is worth so much more than his brain and that he is truly loved by his friends.
Author summary:
Something mysterious happens to Rodney and he becomes disconnected from his body -- Leaving his body laying on the floor. His team worries while Rodney‘s consciousness wanders around Atlantis, running into the ghosts of those who have died. This is sort of a crossover or homage to the TV shows “Ghosts-UK” and "Ghosts CBS". There are ghosts in Atlantis that use the same ghost rules as the TV shows. Rodney learns that people care about him, not just his massive intelligence

Summary
"I'm stuck in a time loop, reliving November 2nd. This is the 111th time I've lived through today."
Draco stilled. His moody eyes, the tension in his hands where he gripped onto his umbrella, the careful mask of blankness flickering over his face — everything about him was so difficult and so very dear to Harry.
"Ah," said Draco, "and?"

Bookmarker's Notes
A promising start, but a frustrating explanation/resolution. It is sort of clever, but ruthless and make the whole thing taste bitter.
Smut and some of the romance in earlier chapters make Harry's character look bad, make you wish for them not to end up together.
But it is not just Harry. Both him and Draco are violated in a very sociopathic manner, and you can't but feel violated too. You realize too late that you are reading not what you think you are reading.
The ending probably aims to undo the harm, but it really doesn't. In a way, it makes things worse.
The story is well written. But I wish I never found it, or at least checked the final chapters as soon as I started having doubts. -
Of Prideful Dwarves and Daring Hobbits by Shakaka

Summary
Hobbits had no need for royalty and no love for complexity. They were a simple folk with simple tastes, accustomed to the sunlit pastures of the Shire over the austere halls of Mountains.
Never had this been more apparent following the Reclaim of Erebor. Thorin was now King Under the Mountain and his Company revered among all. In Dwarven Kingdoms, of course, hierarchies were hallowed.
Naturally, Bilbo did not subscribe to such beliefs, and it landed him in a world of trouble.
*-*-*
Or: In which Bilbo speaks his mind, trampling all over Hobbit decorum and Dwarf Laws in the process. Thorin gets a stern talking to (King Under the Mountain or not) and takes great offence. And the Company, naturally, place bets on how long it will take for these two knuckleheads to sort their mess out.

"Oi," she said, peering at him through one half-open eye. "I told you that was quite enough, sunshine, we're not going again for a bit."
