Airemis Took, half-elf half-hobbit, never expected to embark on an adventure with her cousin Bilbo and a band of rowdy dwarves, and she certainly never expected to find herself drawn to a certain surly, elf-hating dwarf king. But as she learns more about Thorin Oakenshield she begins to realize that they might not be so different after all. Thorin/OC, slow build, future smut.
