Crowns of Repentance: Bilbo Baggins ladyredfeather February 26 2013, 05:09:14 UTC
A wounded Bilbo watches from afar as his friends are herald as Heros in a parade up the road to Erebor. The extent of his wounds are up to the author. (If they aren’t too terrible, He’s managed to bandage them up as best as he could, though he’s almost certain he’ll always have a limp for the rest of his life ( ... )

Oh! I don't know ... I think tragedy would be awesome too. Bilbo never wakes up from his sleep, the Dwarves find him, or Gandalf... It would just rip my heart to pieces and burn them. *swoon* In other words, either way would be just awesome.
Seconded, btw.

OP: Sorry that this got a bit out of hand. Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Love Lies Bleeding
"There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray,love, remember: and there is pansies. That's for thoughts." Hamlet, act IV, scene 5The Healer did not argue with the strange, short fellow who was determined to leave his house before the parade started. His wife was already hanging the banners from their top rooms; and he himself wanted a good vantage point to see the glittering lords make their way in triumph to the reopened kingdom ( ... )

So, the night before the festival, Bilbo stole from his sickbed, finding his way to the town gardens, Gandalf helping him walk as he spoke of reconciliation. Gandalf seemed to think if Bilbo would only present himself to the court, he would find welcome. Bilbo knew better. The look in Thorin’s eyes had been more than gold-sickness. It spoke of decades of wandering, of loss, of broken hopes, of suspicions confirmed a thousand times over. The King’s mind was as the forge he hammered in for so long. It was sharp, strong, and unbending like the weapons made between hammer and anvil. Words of forgiveness could be spoken - but Thorin’s heart was mithril, and Bilbo the enemy spear come too close to home. Evidence of one more thing the Oakenshield could conquer ( ... )

All of the definitions for the flowers I took from here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_flowers

First time writing in the Tolkien world, and no beta was harmed or utilized during this writing. :)

TT^TT oh goodness this is beautiful. Yes to all the flower meanings. alskhfDU hvksdvb
I'm a little saddened Bilbo didn't actually see them wearing the flower crowns but I guess he could only hold out so long. *hugs author* Thank you for this wonderful fill <3

I know the title says "Loves Lies Bleeding" so I'm assuming Bilbo died. Can.....I ask for a follow up? Pretty please?

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Love Lies Bleeding is actually the name of another flower, but I liked the multiple interpretations of it.

Right now I still have a hobbit under a dead tree. When he decides what to do next, I'll write it down!

One: YOU SNEAKY DEVIOUS PERSON. I WENT BACK THROUGH ALL THOSE FLOWER MEANINGS AND FOUND LOVE LIES BLEEDING'S. THAT'S A NEW PUNCH TO MY FEELINGS.

Two: I cannot stop laughing at Lobelia's meaning.

Yeah, I actually teared up a bit, as I can't stand to think that anyone from the Tolkien world doesn't live happily ever after. In my head, all the hobbits live together forever, Boromir lives, and Thorin is King Under the Mountain for all time. :)
