I Finally Started Ityup, A Beauty And The Beast Bagginshield AU Fic! Its For Me, Yup! Hahaha. The Prologue

I finally started it—yup, a Beauty and the Beast Bagginshield AU fic! It’s for me, yup! Hahaha. The prologue (chapter one) and chapter two are up! Feel free to stop by, read, and show some love!

Help me, Bilbo Baggins. You’re my only hope.

woke up thinking about thorin and how his relationship to the epithet of 'oakenshield' must have been so conflicted because yeah, it saved him against azog and his people called him brave for it, but isn't it also so symbolic for the losses of that day, both of his family, and of his kingdom and its resources. nothing left but a tree stump instead of an actual shield, nothing left but making do with whatever he can find, trying to get his people through, no longer son of durin first but someone doing what they can and it still not being enough. the way that when under the gold sickness, he roars at dwalin to no longer call him that, the hurt and despair when he says it.

and then there comes bilbo, for whom a little acorn is nothing but potential, growth, something promising and to be nurtured. for whom an oak means home and peace and splendour. and how it's almost, almost, almost enough to drag thorin back to himself.

This AU slays me

I stayed up late because I had to get all the ideas out of my head before I forgot them, lol. Because of that, I managed to write up to chapter 5, hahaha! It’s now posted, so feel free to stop by and check it out! Hope you enjoy this Bagginshield Beauty and the Beast AU fic!
