The Naming of Hobbits

by Margo_Kim

There's a certain point where you can no longer ask someone what their name is. Thorin isn't sure exactly when that point is, but he knows that it's probably some time before the person in question saves your life. On the far side of the Misty Mountains, Thorin realizes that he never quite caught the first part of Mr. Baggins' name, and he finds that it's astonishingly harder to learn than he would have thought. Fili, Kili, and Dwalin are no help whatsoever.

“Ah, I remember – Ned accidentally put you down as an XL, but I figured he messed up because there’s no way that’s your size, right?” Cindy looked up at him, looking for his agreement on Ned’s obvious mistake, but Peter flushed. “Um, no. XL would be great.” Cindy met his eyes and frowned. “Peter, that’s the same size as Ned. No offense, but you’re a skinny twig. You could probably wear my size.” “I like baggier shirts. It’s a fashion statement.”

bunny slopes

by buzzcut__season

The snow is beginning to fall again, in slow drifts, and the flurries melt when they kiss the glass, and it’s magical in a way Reki never imagined anything could be. He glances over at Langa, whose face is close enough that Reki can see the faded scarring on his cheeks, his pale lips with the cupid’s bow in the center that Reki has wanted, for so long, to kiss. Langa has always been beautiful, but he looks the most beautiful to Reki when he has that wonder in his eyes, usually at S, and occasionally in the dusky sunset at DopeSketch or on the half-pipe at the skatepark. The way he looks up at the mountains makes Reki’s throat go dry. He wants Langa to look at him that way. or, the christmas-in-canada fic nobody asked for, complete with some awkward first kisses, matching pajama sets, too much cuddling by the fireplace, a little mistletoe, and of course, the beloved “there was only one bed” trope <3 chapter one

Mystery Man

by TheWitchBoy

“Uncle Barry,” Wally said in a tight voice. His eyes betrayed his concern, in more ways than one, when they flicked over to the other occupant of his bed. The only thing visible of him was a halo of long dark hair and the top of his head. If Wally hadn’t looked at him, Barry might very well have missed it entirely, which would have given Wally time to come up with what he was going to say. If. “If” was the operative word.
