Man, I can’t tell if The Hobbit/Bagginshield was just a much bigger fandom than I realized, or if it’s seeing some kind of resurgence lately because my old fics and meta are getting slammed with new readers??
the thing i love best about thorin and bilbo hugging is that they both look so moved by it like it’s this transcendental experience like stars aligning tides changing the universe holding its breath…but you also know it must’ve been absolutely foul. these guys have been fighting fucking goblins in filthy wet caves, running, falling down in goblin muck, then fighting really big dogs essentially, half on fire, drenched with sweat and adrenaline, they’re banged up and bleeding, they haven’t bathed since rivendell like a week ago, there’s half a forest in thorin’s hair alone, like they are absolutely disgusting, it must have been a top five contender for middle earth’s most gross hug award, and all they can bloody well do about it is smile at one another. revolting. i love them.
Basically it’s an AU that rich merchant!Bilbo got kidnapped by a group of 13 thieves(erm…gentleman thieves), and then clear the thieves’ food reserves and teach thief leader!Thorin about aristocratic stuffs lol
1. Eh…..they are eh….on a bed /run/
2. Bilbo teaching Thorin about etiquette and Thorin is like “Who fu*ckin’ cares?”
3. NOMMMMMMMNOMNOMMMMMMM together
The last pic is the coloured version of this, gonna make this series into prints set!
a quick reminder that thorin is holding both of bilbo’s hands in the first gif, and then continues to clutch onto bilbo’s sleeve until bilbo grabs his hand and tightly holds onto it until thorin dies
