    Summary

    Or, where you are uprooted to, and then, after a year, replanted?

    Bilbergia (Bilba) Baggins is back again, and has to deal with the repercussions of her being away from the Shire for a year and a month. Cleaning up after dwarves is nothing new to her anymore, but dealing with the memories that seem to sprout up with every step she takes? Maybe they're the reason she can't get herself to close her front door...

    ------------------------------

    A story in which Bilba, returning to Hobbiton and Bag End, has many flashbacks of her time among the Company of Thorin Oakenshield. (The slowest of slow burning burns.)

    Summary

    “I'm going to be one of my brother’s knights.” Joanna declared.

    “No, you’re not.” Lord Baratheon looked at her like she was an idiot.

    “You think I can’t do it?”

    “You won’t live through your first battle.”

    “Because I’m a lady?” Joanna spat with well-worn irritation.

    “Because you’re fighting like you’re the same size as your opponent. If young Stark wasn’t pulling his strikes you’d have lost.”

    And so began the strangest friendship known to the Seven Kingdoms

    Summary

    “Spare me the self-righteous lecturing, Feyre. You and your new family believe yourselves superior: that anyone who is not deemed worthy by you must bow or be eliminated. I refuse to bow to those I do not respect: and I owe none of you any such obligation. Nor am I obligated to remain where my autonomy is threatened,” Nesta sighed, gentle yet commanding, her voice low and steady and unyielding. “I renounce all ties to the Night Court. From now on, you are no longer my sister.”

    “Where will you go?” Feyre snapped, but Nesta saw it: the sudden realisation that Nesta meant every word.

    “That is no longer your business. Goodbye, Feyre,” Nesta said softly. She rose to her feet, elegant as an empress despite her unkempt clothing. As she stared down her youngest sister, Nesta caressed the delicious power shimmering like slumbering embers deep in her heart, until her veins sang with silver fire, pure light, blistering heat, deadly yet silent.

    Flame was silent: everything it met shattered and snapped, disintegrating, unable to withstand it.

    She was flame. She was undiluted, unrefined, unapologetic power.

    She told Feyre, “You will not hear from me again.”
