Summary: Bazani searches for an accomplice and Thorin treats Bilbo

Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction

Friends

Bazani wasn't stupid. She knew she would need help to get rid of the halfing. But she had to be careful. Bilbo Baggins was loved by many in Erebor, not least the Royal Court. He was a hero to Dwarves, Men and Elves. The hobbit had finally managed to talk Thorin into speaking to Thranduil and now there was peace between Erebor and Mirkwood, helped in part by Kili's odd friendship with that Tauriel woman. She had to find someone who hated the hobbit and that would not be easy. But Bazani was a smart woman. She knew where to start. At the bottom. Bilbo was a kind, gentle master, but all servants had an innate dislike of the upper classes. All she had to do was find that one servant who really hated Bilbo and use them to her advantage.

After that, the choices were endless. Poison, an accident during travel, even an accident in the Halls of Erebor. All ways Bilbo could die. She giggled at the thought of that annoying little bug finally being gone from her life. Then she would tend to the heartbroken king and make her way into his affections. And finally, their marriage would be real. Real and happy. She would no longer play second best to that halfing. Bazani Ironquarry was second to no one and Thorin Oakenshield would soon know that.


Bilbo could not believe that he was letting Thorin do this. Blindfold him and lead him through Erebor? If he had been told after the Battle of the Five Armies that he would ever trust Thorin again, well...he wouldn't have believed you. But the dwarf king was persistent. He refused to give up on the Hobbit and eventually won him round. Bilbo wasn't even angry at the fact that the person he loved had to marry another. He liked Bazani. She was kind and clearly cared for Thorin. Yes, it hurt to see the royal couple together. They were a beautiful couple. And to know that Thorin had to impregnate her? Well, Bilbo only hoped he could love the child.

"Here we are beloved."

"Where?"

With a chuckle, Thorin removed the blindfold. Bilbo was amazed. They were in an area of Erebor that Smaug had destroyed. The roof had caved in, but Thorin had the debris cleared away.

"Thorin, is this what you've been working on for so long?"

The dwarf blushed. He had been working on this, asking the wood elves for advice, hoping to make Bilbo happy. The room was one of the largest in Erebor. Thorin had bought soil and seeds from Thranduil and Bard, turning the room into a large garden. In the centre, there was a fountain which was used to irrigate the area.

"You can plant flowers and crops here. And if you need help, Legolas and Sigrid said they would be thrilled."

Bilbo turned to wrap his arms around Thorin.

"You like it?"

"Thorin I love it."

He pressed a kiss to Thorin's lips, grinning when he felt large hands on his lower back. He pulled away from his lover and smirked at him.

"Maybe we should christen the room first? Make it fertile, if you catch my drift?"

Thorin grinned at Bilbo. He loved this hobbit.
