In Clusters of Blue, Belladonna intercepted Bilbo and Thorin's meeting beneath the Party Tree. Thorin did not meet his One that night. But, what if Belladonna had not discovered the note in Bilbo's room?

This fic will explore what might have happened if Bilbo had succeeded in meeting Thorin that night.

*Please read chapters 1-8 of Clusters of Blue in order to follow along.*

After Bilbo confuses Thorin's love confession as a mistake (because he was dying and had severe blood loss and acute wounds), they both avoid each other in fear of getting rejected a second time. Yet, Fili and Kili convince their Uncle to speak with him and find a way to make him stay, both of them knowing they have feelings for each other.

This is really short and rushed. I didn't really proof read it enough so it might sound weird. I hope it's still somewhat enjoyable. :)

Thorin never made it out of Erebor, instead he was cursed by a drake to sleep until awoken by true love's kiss. Bilbo is set on the quest to awaken him and is unaware of what exactly will wake the prince, but there is no way he was letting his mother go on this journey at her age!

Кили страстно влюблён, и Бильбо пытается вспомнить это прекрасное чувство - быть молодым и по-настоящему влюблённым.

Погружаясь в воспоминания, он и Торин начинают расходиться во мнениях о некоторых событиях. Но разногласия - это не всегда плохо. Иногда они могут быть поучительными и также оказываются невероятно полезными.

Talk about your ships!

If you love talking about your favourite ships or are currently on the hunt to become obsessive about something new, this is a great post for you! Some of the rare ships in the tagset belong to rare canons, so this is a great place to promote canons for others to get into. (This is also a great place to give additional ways to consume the canon for potential pinch hitters and treaters.)

You can use the form below to get started. (You don't have to if you don't want to, but we advise trying to make your comment easy to read.)

Canon:

Ships:

Media:

A summary of the canon:

What do you love about this ship/these ships?:

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:

Content warnings:

How can we consume this canon?:

A few things to consider:

Please try to keep your thirst to one comment.

Please try to limit the number of gifs and videos you post, if you choose to provide some supportive material. (We recommend any more than one gif/video that you can link for anyone with a slower Internet connection.)

Please link and mark anything that is NSFW, especially if you're posting gifs/videos. (We'd also appreciate trigger warnings for the big triggers. If you think it needs a trigger warning, please add it.)

Please remember that this post may contain triggering topics due to canon content that may or may not be warned for, so please view the content at your own discretion.

You can also use this post to ask for canon recs. We recommend advising what you're looking for (a particular medium or a canon that's so many hours long?)—and it wouldn't hurt to mention what kind of ship dynamics/tropes you're into since that's why we're here!

This post won't be moderated closely. Please email rarepairexmod@gmail.com if you feel something is getting out of hand or isn't appropriate.

Thanks to

yuletide for the inspiration for the form.

Overhearing some harsh gossip at a council meeting, Bilbo decides his hair needs a trim. He was meaning to do it anyways. Bilbo was however not aware of dwarven hair customs. Cue overprotective dwarves, oblivious Hobbits and enough tooth-rotting fluff to give your dentist a heart attack, with a sprinkle of angst in the side.

Inspired by Splitting Hairs, an orphaned work.

FFA DW Post #2336 - M/M/M. That's too many dudes. Break it up, gentlemen.

I love the mental image of a threesome scene about to start when the reader busts in through the fourth wall to start pulling the dudes apart. No more than two of you per sex scene! Here is the scheduling rota! It's A/B day, so C, go shove off and have a platonic subplot off-camera. You get to bang A tomorrow while B is on plot duty.

This is basically how I feel. Like excuse me I didn't schedule both of you on register, one of you needs to go to the fry station.

Make Sure It Takes

Thorin gets lost on his way to Bag End to meet with Gandalf's recommended burglar. He stumbles through a flower patch, not realizing their pollen is a strong aphrodisiac used for hobbit fertility treatment. He seeks help in his host, Bilbo Baggins.

Never one to disappoint his guests, Bilbo was swift to open his bedroom door. His jaw dropped when he was faced with the dwarf haunting his sleepless night. Thorin leant against the door frame, shirtless and with loosened pants. His skin shone with sweat, the droplets highlighting the endless expanse of muscles and hair. Bilbo only prayed the dwarf wouldn't look down, because he was most certainly no longer only half hard. "Thorin!" He exclaimed.

Thorin shouldered past him and began to pace. He growled, a feral sound that made heat curl in Bilbo's gut. "Take yourself in hand you had said, that will fix it you said."

Nominations for 2025 are closed! 🥳

Nominations are closed! I will be working through the remaining nominations that have yet to be reviewed. I do not have any plans on posting another query post, although I will if I have any questions.

A huge thank you to the tagmods for helping me tackle our massive nominations dashboard! We have over 3,000 nominations and I would not have been able to climb that mountain as quickly as I did without you. You have been a tremendous help. ♥

*

In the meantime, please have a look at the tagset, specifically what you're interested in requesting and offering, and let me know if you see any errors such as duplicates or strange typos by Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] The tagset will be finalised by this time and will not be changing for any edit requests.

When flagging errors, please provide the fandom and the nomination as it sits in the tagset so I can easily find them! Thank you to everyone who has already flagged duplicates and errors!

Sign-ups will open on Wednesday 13 August, time unspecified. Please be aware that Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] is the deadline for 2024's participants to have commented on their gifts from that round. Here is a handy link for the 2024 collection. (If your nominations are fine, perhaps have a look around at our previous collections and comment on some of the gifts! We have fantastic works in our collections!)

Thoughts on fandom

Fantastic Four (2025) vs Marvel Cinematic Universe
I have several nominations for Fantastic Four: First Steps characters, but we have them split across MCU and FF:FS in the nominations dashboard. Did the nominators—or those who are interested in requesting/offering—oppose me placing them under "Fantastic Four (2025)"? I know that this movie is technically in the MCU, but as it takes place on another Earth, I'm considering accepting it as a different "continuity" to the other MCU relationships.

All the nominations that have been submitted for this sub-fandom are approved, even though, at the publishing of this post, I have not officially approved them yet. I just need to know where to put them.

*

Rejected nominations
If you oppose a rejection because it's eligible or I've made a mistake (it happens—I have been hit with AO3's "Retry Later" and "You're clicking too quickly" messages repeatedly over the last 48 hours that has reset my progress when approving nominations 😫), please let me know before 11:59pm on Tuesday 12 August so these nominations can be reinstated into the tagset.

These nominations were rejected during the last round of nomination review:

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Neville Longbottom/Luna Lovegood (HP) - Over 250 works.

due South
Benton Fraser/Margaret Thatcher - Over 250 works.

Stranger Things (TV 2016)
