Thorin is cursed to never wash!
No one would ever accept him in this terrible state....or maybe one will?

Summary
On every journey there is time for moments of mundanity- and moments of uncertainty about your feelings for the one person that you never expected to have feelings for.
Or: A story in which neither Bilbo nor Thorin can fully explain what they want, but at least they can show it through their actions.

Summary
Take a dragon and get rid of it, take a Kingdom under the Mountain and let it thrive under Thráin’s rule, take the King’s eldest son - as proud and arrogant as you can picture him - and then send him to the Shire in order to refine his diplomatic skills. Or, as his sister puts it: to grow them at last. Now, throw in the Master of Bag End playing host for the dwarf prince: you’ll get a clash of cultures, an ill-advised bet about educating a certain hobbit in the dwarf-lore, and all the pride and prejudice business you could hope for, plus Khuzdul.
A retelling inspired by My Fair Lady.

Summary
There are few things Thorin feels about as deeply as he does about flowers - his nephews’ education, the conservation of Derbyshire dales, Sunday’s lunch with Dís and the boys. Until one day a stranger with flowers tattooed all over his arms shows up at the shop and Thorin would rather like to indulge in the meaning of every single blossom inked on the stranger’s skin.
But the stranger may not be a stranger after all and though he has flowers on his wrists, he may not wear his heart on his sleeve.Bilbo Baggins is at a turning point. Call it mid-life crisis, call it responsibility, call it teaching Geography to kids in the bloody middle of Derbyshire. Of one thing Bilbo is certain: disgruntled-yet-rather-endearing florists are not what he needs in his life right now. Definitely.
A gift for Radiorcrist, based on hers and tosquinha's Needles and Roses AU concept and art.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins led a rather peaceful life, thank you very much, until an old acquaintance decided to turn it upside down, and he found himself agreeing to take a job that’s… let’s say not exactly up his alley, and might eventually cost him a little more than his treasured cozy lifestyle. Who would have thought tutoring a slightly menacing monarch’s more than slightly overbearing nephew could prove to be such an adventure?

Absolutely brilliant. ~300k words of heartache and backstabbing and stolen kisses and little princes and political assassinations.
Oh God, read this (when you have a lot of time)
Bilbo comes to Erebor as the tutor to the royal family, little did he know he'd be head over heels for the King.
