Wildly AU - Bilbo, Frodo (Bilbo/Thorin) anonymous January 5 2013, 05:02:46 UTC

Every hobbit in the Shire knows the story of Mad Baggins, who ran off with a band of dwarves and was never seen again, but when Frodo Baggins gets it into his head to find out what became of his favourite uncle (wildly AU means I can ignore inconvenient things like timelines), he never expected to find what he did.
Bilbo has been living in Erebor as Thorin's consort all this time, in that lovely AU where everyone comes through all right (except the orcs), but is absolutely thrilled to see his relatives from the Shire.
Bonus points for:
- Being a royal consort actually involving quite a lot of responsibility
- Bilbo being really, really good at handling said responsibility
- Merry, Pippin and Sam tagging along for the journey
- Adventures on the way to Erebor. Possibly including some references to the original (finding Bilbo's trolls, getting stuck in the same bit of the Misty Mountains, possibly a run-in with Radegast)

Oh my goodness. Fili and Kili. Meeting Merry and Pippin. The shenanigans would be ENDLESS.

I read this comment as:

"Fili and Kili. Meeting Marry Poppins. The shenanigans would be ENDLESS."

The funny part is, you'd still be right.

Now I'm really tempted to prompt a Mary Poppins crossover dang it.

Anyway, this prompt would be fantastic- it's be great to see another take on the Bilbo lives happily ever after in Erebor stories, and I love the idea that Bilbo running off has become some kind of Shire urban legend. I can just see them telling their kids "don't do anything too adventurous or you'll turn out like that crazy Bilbo fellow."

Re: Wildly AU - Bilbo, Frodo (Bilbo/Thorin) anonymous January 5 2013, 18:53:20 UTC

So I seem to be filling this. Hopefully it'll turn out something like what you wanted, although Frodo and his issues have kind of taken over the story so I don't know how much of Bilbo's consort duties will make an appearance.

It's also taken me six pages to get to Rivendell, and I'd rather not post it until it's done so it may be a little bit.

Sounds great to me.

Re: OP anonymous January 6 2013, 06:13:17 UTC

Well it's done more or less. But it's really long and I'm too tired to edit so you'll get all 10,000 or so words of it up tomorrow. I think this is the most I've written at one time ever for something not school related.

Fill: The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 1/? anonymous January 7 2013, 04:15:28 UTC

I hope this is close to what you wanted. I took some serious liberty with the timeline to make the ages work and kind of went ring what ring along the way. But everything else is as accurate as I could make it, though some of the dialogue is probably a bit OC and I may have fudged the travel times a bit ( ... )

Fill: The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 2/? anonymous January 7 2013, 04:18:41 UTC

Everyone in the Shire knew the tale of Mad Bilbo Baggins who ran off one morning and was never seen again. Mad Baggins left no note, no notice and didn't even lock his door, and the tale was only pieced together through gossip and speculation.

Lina Proudfoot swore she'd seen groups of dwarves and Gandalf of the magnificent fireworks heading towards Bag End and her husband heard a great commotion coming from the hobbit hole all through the night. Marigold Chubb had seen a party of dwarves riding out on ponies early the next morning and Old Gaffer, the last to speak to Bilbo, when deep in his cups one night, told everyone at the Green Dragon that Baggins said he was going on an adventure.

Going on an adventure, who could imagine it? And all the fine upstanding hobbits muttered to themselves that Baggins was half Took you know, and you never could trust them to be sensible.

The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 3a/? anonymous January 7 2013, 04:19:58 UTC

As the months passed and Mad Bilbo never returned to the Shire, his only grew wilder as each teller invented new stories of how it must have gone wrong. The Sackville-Bagginses declared him dead as soon as respectable and took over Bag End, selling off Bilbo's fine furniture, his crockery and doilies and setting themselves up in high state ( ... )

The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 4/? anonymous January 7 2013, 04:22:18 UTC

It was a bright sunny day and Frodo was sitting under a tree with his friends, a book and a pipe and no cares in the world, when Pippin changed his life forever ( ... )

The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 5/? anonymous January 7 2013, 04:24:13 UTC

Years passed and Frodo continued to wonder; he began researching the outside world whenever possible, devouring histories and books of myths, lurking in marketplaces and taverns and listening to the tales of strangers passing through the Shire. While he never got an answer to his questions, with the aid of his friends Frodo began to get a feel for the shape of the world, and though the wideness of it frightened him at times it drew him to it all the same. Though Sam, Pippin, and Merry were always quick to draw Frodo's attention when he drifted off in his musigs for too long, nothing could take his mind off the mystery for good ( ... )

The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 6/? anonymous January 7 2013, 04:25:39 UTC

The journey to Bree was easy as they come, with fine weather to keep up their spirits. They laughed and joked and smoked and ate and before long they had passed the boundaries of the Shire and were ready to make their way in the world. And after a week of light travel, the companions finally had their first view of an actual human town ( ... )

Re: The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 6/? mimi_sardinia January 14 2013, 11:57:53 UTC

This scene reminds me a lot of the book version of how they first met Aragorn. The movie really made emphasis on how out of place they felt and made Aragorn seem more threatening to start with.

Re: The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 6/? rata_toskr January 16 2013, 04:35:10 UTC

I have to admit any resemblance was mostly unintentional since it's been ages since I read the books. But I'm glad it didn't seem too out of place. (I consider this sort of a happy ending universe, so while it's still dangerous Frodo wouldn't really have reason to be too scared yet- especially without the ring and all.)

The Search for Mad Baggins, Part 7/? anonymous January 7 2013, 04:28:42 UTC

As they traveled, the hobbits asked Strider all he knew about the journey ahead of them and Mad Baggins' fate. While the man knew little about Bilbo's life in the decades since Smaug's destruction, he spun them a riveting picture of the hobbit's quest all those years ago ( ... )
