The One Who Wouldn't
Fill for the following prompt from The Hobbit Kink Meme on livejournal:
If Adventures make you late for supper, Soulmates make for missing supper entirely.
In Hobbit society peace and plenty is viewed as more valuable than passion and riches. Marriages are thought best when they're settled, warm affairs between friends. That's why Soulmate marks are thought of as a mark AGAINST a marriage-match...
Dwarves on the other hand, view a soulmate as a blessing from Mahal. If a dwarrow is so lucky as to be born with a mark they spend their life searching for their One. No wealth or jewel is thought of greater value than a soulmate.
So when Thorin and Bilbo meet and see each others marks?...

This is mostly an experiment to see if there are Hobbit fans over here that haven't already seen my stories over on AO3. If that is you, and you would like me to continue to link up over here…please comment to let me know.
Otherwise…as you were.
