The Hobbit - All Media Types

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.

Trading Tomorrow

by Darkmagyk, loosingletters

Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood bruised and bleeding, with the knowledge that he's the son of a god and his mother is dead. His little display with the Minotaur has caught the attention of the camp. But he’s not sure it is good attention, yet. Only the Hermes Cabin's not-quite Co-counselor Theseus, ‘call me Theo,’ doesn't treat him like a fascinating zoo exhibit. Which would be a relief, except he looks exactly like Percy: same green eyes, same trouble making smile, same black hair. The only differences are the fact that Theo is six years older, covered in battle scars, and the black tattoo on his arm. A trident and the letters SPQR. Theo is eighteen, powerful, and unclaimed. And his resemblance to Percy could set a dangerous precedent.

the devil's in the details

by somethingaboutwriting

It takes a month after Arthur lifts the ban on magic for him to adjust to the fact that the people around him might actually start to use it. Even stranger is when Merlin learns some from Gaius and, oddly enough, has a bit of a knack for it.In which Arthur is obtuse, Merlin is trying his best, and Gwaine, Elyan and Leon don't understand why they can't learn to light fires as easily as Merlin did.

only honest when it rains

by somethingaboutwriting

Merlin is sneaking off to see a girl. Arthur's handling it very well. That is, apart from these weird flowers he keeps coughing up. . .

Must Have Been The Wind

by TheNavigator

“Merlin,” The Noblest Knight says, Lancelot, Merlin whispers to the wind. “what are you doing?” He tears his eyes away from Lancelot and it’s then when he notices the changes around him, the trees look more vibrant, there are more flowers than when he last looked, and the bald patch of grass isn’t there anymore. “I didn’t—” Merlin whispers to Lancelot, slightly terrified “—I didn’t do it on purpose,”  Or: Merlin knows something is different, he doesn’t realize what it is until they find a Druids’ Temple

Nico Di Angelo the Bane

by ideasCornucopia

When he opens his eyes, Bianca is there holding his arm, and a man that reveals himself to be a monster is behind them. Nico´s eyes are opened wide, because somehow Bianca is there. Is this a dream? Is this some wicked plan by Gaea? The last thing he remembers is Tartarus and Kronos, how is he here? "Nico, are you okay?" Bianca asks, furrowing her brows. They can hear the door of the hallway being opened, as a voice Nico hadn't heard in years calls for them. Nico's fists clench. Dream or not, he won't let them take everything away this time. He will fix this, he will fix everything. Or in which the War with Gaea ends baddly, the Seven die, and Nico is sent back in time (maybe a little bit too early) after making a deal with a Titan. Well shit.

Regaining Perspective

by DAsObiQuiet

After a year back in time, Percy's managed to make some headway, building new friendships, saving lives, and making plans. Unfortunately, when the bolt and helm are stolen again, he's surprisingly forbidden from going after them. He can't interfere unless he can leave camp without Mr. D coming after him. So he volunteers for his own quest, silently vowing to help fulfill both despite going in the opposite direction. He'll find a way to do it. Because that's just who Percy Jackson is.
