Summary:

After the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo isn't sure of his welcome in the mountain, and thus returns to the Shire as soon as he can. Somewhat to his surprise, Ori goes with him -- but it turns out Ori has his own reasons for leaving Erebor behind. Well, Bilbo's quite used to being the talk of the Shire.

The line of Durin might suffer of thick skulls, but fortunately Kíli is less stubborn than his uncle and brother, and decides to fix things, even if that means taking his newlywed wife for a ride all the way to the Shire and beyond. Of course, he doesn't yet know what he'll see there -- but he does know how to fix things. Even if it means giving up his claim to the throne.

(Let's not kid ourselves -- that's his favourite part.)

May I present: one of my go-to feel-good reads. Mpreg with a nice side order of misunderstandings, angst, pining and politics leading up to the eventual fluff.

(And that preference probably tells you a little bit too much about me... oh well *shrug*)

I should also mention that this story probably has the best formal solemn declarations of any sort of intent that I've ever read in a fic. I'm damn WEAK for that sort of thing. And I love how Kíli is characterized in this - smart, observant, and having the time of his life, because for once, it's the rest of his family who have managed to make a fine mess out of everything.

Enjoy!

(But please do mind the author's notes - I did say angst, and that comes with some baggage.)
