LF : Bagginshield reunion
Hey ! I'm searching for a fic I'm pretty sure it was on Ao3
It was Post BOFA, miscommunication, Bilbo thinking -at least- Thorin is dead. Before BOFA Bilbo and Thorin had been courting.
During BOFA the courting braid and bead Thorin gave Bilbo, fell because a goblin or an orc sliced Bilbo's ear. Bilbo didn't notice the injury or the loss of his braid/bead before he was at least several weeks into his journey home. He kept a "scar" from it, in the sense that the side of his ear healed but stayed cut.
Gandalf escorted Bilbo back and thought that Bilbo was just too hurt from the rampart scene and whatever and doesn't understand that Bilbo think Thorin is Dead.
Then Bilbo is back in the shire mourning. But he receives an invitation to Kili and Tauriel's wedding if I remember correctly. And basically what I recall the most clearly is that Bilbo was toward Mirkwood with Gandalf, and rushed passed Dale, thinking he could see Bard at another time and that he would forgive him, because he was *just there* from Erebor and couldn't wait to see Thorin.
Because Gandalf met him near Mirkwood and Bilbo being all upset about everyone talking about Thorin and him not understanding why he basically told Gandalf, "What's going on he's dead, it hurts my feeling that people keep bringing him up". To what Gandalf basically tell him, flabbergasted, that no Thorin's not dead and that a grave misunderstanding took place.
So Biblo just burst into Erebor, demands to be shown were Thorin is. He is escorted by Dwalin I think, in Thorin's office. Thorin is at his desk with Dis and maybe her sons. Extreme shock for both Thorin and Bilbo. They just jump into each other arms, and Bilbo basically has a melt-down. Then they start kissing and smut happens. They go to Thorin's quarter through a secret communicating door.
There they talk. Thorin explain that the finding of the braid/bead after the battle is the reason he never reached out, because ending a courtship that way is very grave and final in dwarrow's culture, and that he understood that has Bilbo not being able to love/forgive Thorin after the Arkenstone business, and the pain Thorin inflicted him.
Bilbo explain his side of the events. And after that Thorin shows to Bilbo a closet of clothes in both dwarvish and hobbitish style, that he purshased for him. Because in a foolish hope, despite how their courtship ended if Bilbo ever found it in himself to forgive him, Thorin continued to make courtship presents for him, in order to cope with Bilbo being gone, possibly forever.
He also made him a garden which was purely adorable.
That's basically it. At first I thought I was searching for A Long List of Happy Endings by vicious_summer, but I re-read it and that's not it. I tried searching for the fic that I'm describing but found nothing so, if you could help me that would be wonderful !
