Thorin had never intended to take a wife or have children of his own, but hidden danger within Erebor means he must produce heirs to remain King under the Mountain - to do so he must first find a Queen! And candidates are in no short supply! ThorinxOC

Set just before Smaug's attack on Erebor featuring OC Raena Marblefounder x Thorin. Has little Fili and Kili (though canonically they weren't even born yet); 1st person, so basically everything that any fic reader hates, but somehow I'm hoping you'll enjoy it. There's some humor, some arrows to the knee, lots of walking. But also other cool stuff. Like battles.
