Thorin Durinul has always dreamed of making it to the big leagues in the music industry. Ered Luin’s newest citizen, Bilbo Baggins, an aspiring writer and all-around bookworm, has recently taken ownership of the mountain town’s dusty old corner shop, now, Bag End Books. They weren’t looking for love, but now they can’t imagine tackling life’s challenges without each other.

hi, i hope you have a great day! sorry to come with such a sudden ask but my friend just watched the hobbit trilogy not long ago and she really wants to read some bagginshield and i, sadly, have no recommendations of my own for her. can you, maybe, recommend some of your favorite fics? something to heal the soul in the aftermath of the hobbit finale? i'll be really grateful!

Well, hello, friendly Anon! I'm happy to hear your friend is getting into some bagginshield! I have a few personal favorites I enjoy that I would love to share! Some of these require an AO3 account to read, so fair warning. Also, I don't know your age, so always mind tags on all fics.

In June and June and More June by Dragonslaeyr:

"When Bilbo agreed on a trip to Erebor to clear up the last of his mother's estate, what he didn't count on was falling in love with its gorgeous landscape, the fiercely proud people, and yes, the delicious food. Now if only he could figure out why everyone was acting so strangely around his neighbours..."

- Whisper of the Heart by @abliafina-18782

"When Bilbo discovers all of his library books have been checked out by the same guy, a Thorin Oakenshield, maybe it will finally give him the push for adventure he's always wanted."

-

Love-In-Idleness by perkynurples

"Taking Bilbo Baggins, a successful movie actor who is only just getting used to the perks and intricacies of becoming A Face People Want To See, and putting him together with Thorin Oakenshield, with his very traditional (read: slightly backwards) ideas about what constitutes Real Art and Real Talent, might very well be viewed as just some clothead’s idea of a joke. But there are jokes, and then there are carefully calculated risks the size of controversial reproductions of classic Shakespearean plays - for Bilbo, it is the chance of a lifetime to prove himself to all those who have ever deemed him too one-dimensional to even attempt stage, while Thorin has the opportunity to get out of the rut that’s been hindering his career for so long now, and shine in a role worthy of his talent once again. That is if the two learn how to share the same space for more than ten minutes without wanting to tear each other’s hair out. The course of true love never did run smooth, after all…"

-

Dragonhearted by @lordoftherazzles

"The grandson of a greedy king and his dwarvish companions fall under the curse of literal dragon sickness - at least for Thorin. Bestowed by Smaug the Terrible, an enchanter whose other form is also that of a dragon, the vilest of fire drakes from the north, is seeking riches at the end of a hard trial for the prince of Erebor. Doomed to live his life as a ‘not-quite-dwarf’ and ‘not-quite-dragon’, Thorin and his companions are forgotten by the world around them.

The decades roll by and the curse shows no sign of lifting, for Thorin was tasked with proving that his heart was worth saving and that he would not be corrupted by gold lust like his grandfather. All seems bleak until the arrival of one quirky little hobbit of the Shire with his mother’s stubborn streak and his father’s gentility. Bilbo Baggins, a prisoner of this draconic beast, soon begins to show Thorin just what a heart worth saving feels like."

Greetings, mortal! 'Tis I, the mysterious Bagginshield Cryptid, here to visit you with another Bagginshield question. . . What fic do you currently have in your bookmarks or TBR list that you're very excited to get to? And why?

hello! oh this one's easy:

Bookbinder//Songwriter by @lordoftherazzles ☆

i've been reading lots of modern AUs lately and i especially love it when Thorin's occupation is arts related. i feel like it's really tapping into the harpist/creative side of Thorin, a concept which brings me so much joy.

also this fanart is just *chefs kiss*

immediately added the fic to my TBR when i saw it. in fact, it's the next one i'll read after i finish my current read!! very excited to dive in ☆

Greetings, mortal! 'Tis I, the mysterious Bagginshield Cryptid, here to visit you with another Bagginshield question. . . What fic do you currently have in your bookmarks or TBR list that you're very excited to get to? And why?

Hello, Bagginshield Cryptid! Many greetings to you as well.

Thank you for this great question, I have an insane number of tabs – currently open – of ao3 fics that I have yet to get to (at least 35 on my phone and probably more on my computer). Currently I am reading @conkers-theficwriter 's Soldier, part of her Soldier, Poet, King series, and let me tell you, it is so good. If you haven't read it I implore you to, the pining is chefs kiss.

Edit: oh, dear my fat fingers posted this before I was done typing. My bad 😅

As for my most anticipated TBR is @lordoftherazzles Bookbinder//Songwriter fic. I'm a sucker for modern aus.

[fellowshipofthefics]

Hey Fellowship of the Fics! Please welcome @lordoftherazzles​ !! 👏🥳 Razzy decided to share her thoughts and impressions on her fic: Bookbinder//Songwriter.

Question 1: What about this story stands out from other stories with the same trope(s)?

I'll be honest, I haven't read too much modern au, and none in this particular setting, but I can say the things I've been told and the things I try to avoid! Non-stereotypical roles for Bilbo and Thorin. Thorin's not the standoffish rocker who's "too cool for you" and is just an all around bad boy, and Bilbo's not a blushy goobery shy mess. In fact, Thorin is the goobery mess, wrapped in black clothing, while Bilbo's fairly assertive, as well as extremely supportive in helping hold up his goofy tattooed boyfriend.

Question 2: What was the most emotionally-charged scene to write?

While I'm sure there will be many more, the one that really sticks out to me with this fic is when Thorin and Thranduil get into a scuffle, as well as the aftermath. Bilbo finally gets to learn about Thorin's past relationship and that it was just...bad. It's an overall emotional chapter in many different ways and having to write the bad side of it made me genuinely angry with an imaginary character (Thranduil) but hey. THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT?

Question 3: Do you have dreams for a sequel/spin-off from this story? If so, what would it be about?

I wouldn't mind doing a prequel to the story!! Maybe a look at what Bilbo's life was before he moved to be in the convenient exact same town as Thorin? Or what Thorin's life looked like before Thrain and Frerin died. I imagine things were very different than they are now, and it's kind of fun to think about. Whether I'll ever get to that point, who knows. Not anytime soon though!

Question 4: I feel like every writer has an "original intention" for how a story's going to progress. Has this story stuck pretty well to that original intention, and if not how has it veered away?

My original intention was just to have the BB//SW au-verse be completely constructed of One-Shots that don't really matter when it comes to the timeline. After a few, I realized that I was following a chronologic timeline and I could make it into something more than just aimless drabbles for that specific universe. It morphed from a one shot series to a big fic, and I'm SO happy about that. Overall though, everything's stayed on track otherwise.

Question 5: If there was a Dedication section for this fic, who would you dedicate it to?

Oh, this is easy! @sunnyrosewritesstuff​, Bookbinder//Songwriter's biggest fan!!

A couple of fancy lads off to a fancy dinner!

I learned a lot while rendering this, and I still have lots to improve upon, but inspiration hit me like a train after I read the Valentine’s Day chapter from @lordoftherazzles Bookbinder//Songwriter AU! Thorin’s clothes are pretty understated, but Bilbo is dressed in a sort of modernized take on the first outfit he wears in An Unexpected Journey! That colour scheme simply gives me life, so I’ll use any excuse to draw it. I have no idea how other people imagined their fancy suits to look, but I’d love to hear how other people pictured them!

Also, if you don’t already know the fic I’m talking about, you simply, absolutely, positively MUST read Bookbinder//Songwriter here! I just got caught up, and I’m champing at the bit to see how it continues. If you want lots of sweet fluff, funny shenanigans, and peak found family dynamics, you ought to give it a read!

And once more, everyone must go and give their love to Razzy for creating this lovely-amazing-beautiful-gorgeous AU for all of us to witness :D
