Bilbo Baggins didn't expect to accompany 13 Dwarves as their official burglar on a perilous journey to reclaim a kingdom. He doubly didn't expect to be playing matchmaker among these Dwarves as well. Nor did he expect to find love of his own.
“I made a promise to your mother, before she passed.” "And?” Bilbo prompted. “I promised your mother I would find you a husband.” “W-what?” Bilbo spluttered, pushing his tea aside as he leapt from his armchair. “I - how could you - who would I even -” “Why, Thorin Oakenshield, of course,” Gandalf answered with a far too smug smile.
Throughout the quest to reclaim Erebor, Bilbo learned to deal with the many vexing behaviours of the Dwarves. One thing he could never adapt to, however, was their belief in superstition.
Thorin really really really likes Christmas. He's absolutely nuts about it. Bilbo would rather throw his horribly christmassy neighbor away, but Frodo is just so attached to him, that Bilbo doesn't have the heart. Also, he's unbearably attractive, so really it'd be a waste. Thorin is a Christmas dork and Bilbo is the neighbor secretly crushing on him.
Thorin’s first holiday in decades was going great: he was stuck in the Shire instead of relaxing in the Blue Mountains, his map was clearly faulty, and now there was an impertinent hobbit telling him he had gotten lost. He should have just stayed in Erebor.
By a curse or a blessing from the Valar, Bilbo finds himself repeating the same horrific day of war outside of Erebor again and again. His repeats are always triggered when someone from the company falls. He suffers days and days on his own before the others begin to repeat the day with him.
One would think that with the whole company, an elf king, and a bowman all knowing what was to come, Bilbo would have an easier time getting them all through the day alive.
One would think that, wouldn't they.
Thorin is unlikely to marry a dwarven princess now that Erebor is reclaimed, but that's because it's very unusual for a Crafter such as him to marry anyone at all. This causes Bilbo considerable consternation, for reasons he would rather not name.
A group of starving, destitute dwarves moves into the abandoned smithy. A bored, lonely--and frankly, nosy--Bilbo just wants to help. What he gets is a whole lot more.
Everyone, by a stroke of real luck, survived the Battle of Five Armies. Bilbo helps to rebuild Erebor, while waiting for Thorin to recover from his wounds. Hobbit help is, it seems, just what the dwarves need: after all, hobbits know better than any how to make a place into a home.
And when Thorin finally wakes up, there's a surprise waiting for Bilbo.
Bilbo Baggins, respectable baker at The Hobbit Hole Café on Bag End in the Shire, finds his life turned upside down when meddling wizard Gandalf the Grey comes to ask him along on an adventure. Overnight, Bilbo is thrown into a world of dwarves, new kinds of pastry, coffeeshop espionage, dragons, and singing trolls. He'll be lucky to get out alive...or, more accurately, he'll be lucky to get out without falling in love with master baker Thorin Oakenshield.
