Sequel to "A Dwarf's Pride". Months after the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo cannot say that his life in Erebor is unpleasant... but he admits it would be much better if a certain King Under the Mountain wasn't so elusive. Will it take a trip to the Shire and another unexpected adventure to bring them closer?

Set after 1.10 "Perception". It all comes down to intent. Maybe what he's got isn't so bad after all. (Language. Drinking. Fluff.)

"The moment Dorian was out of sight, John sank bank onto the ground. Dorian might be convinced John was only slightly harmed, he himself wasn't so sure of that. His leg hurt, his head hurt and he was almost certain he had a fractured rib, maybe even two..."

"Long story short, master burglar," Dwalin growled out from his cell, "it's almost as if they raped Thorin in front of us."

Between what was and what will be stands James Tiberius Kirk, in all his fractured patchwork glory. Because saving the Federation was only the beginning. Eventual K/S

Stranded on the planet Sigma Nox while searching for a missing away team, Spock and Kirk find themselves pitted against a disturbing native life form. Together they must fight for survival and escape in the heart of an alien jungle. Slow build K/S.

In Progress. K/S, but slow-building. A misshap brings the Enterprise back to Earth for a while.
