A year after The Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo decides it is time for him to return to the Shire. Hesitant to leave his friends behind, he promises to write to the dwarves as often as he can, especially to Thorin, of whom he holds feelings for that he believes are unrequited. Thilbo/Bagginshield. Slowburn? Rated M for M/M relations, slight language and eventual smut.
