    Summary

    You know the clichéd Bilbo-the-dragon-skin-changer stories? Let’s do something a bit different.

    Dragons are less endangered than most people would prefer. Dwarves are twitchy about that sort of thing, but Gandalf isn’t going to let that stop him, because there’s one dragon that’s a hobbit where it counts, and it’s not in his appearance.

    Bilbo Baggins is not particularly ancient, or the lone member of a once great race of skin changers. He wasn’t cursed, he’s not on probation. He hasn’t got a grudge to fulfil or a debt to repay. He's a dragon, and that's not the type of thing that's easy to hide.

    Summary

    Hiraeth, pronounced [hɨraɪ̯θ], is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. The University of Wales, Lampeter attempts to define it as homesickness tinged with grief or sadness over the lost or departed. It is a mix of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness, or an earnest desire for the Wales of the past.

    “Uncle Thorin.” Kili’s voice broke through the grim reminiscing of the dwarves as they glanced up. In the opened doorway, the prince had a rather peculiar look upon his face, body tense and feet shifting his weight as though anxious.

    “What is it, Kili?” Thorin grumbled, hoping against hope he had no more demands to listen to that day.

    "Uncle . . . there are hobbits at the gates."

    Summary

    Unlike other races of Middle Earth, some hobbits can see ghosts. Bilbo is one of them, but until Laketown, this talent never was of any importance. As he recovers from his cold, the ghost of a local boy makes contact - and through him, Bilbo learns that many ghosts linger in Laketown, Dale and Erebor.

    In return, as the ghosts learn of his talent, they offer their support. If the dragon is slain, they hope for their peace to be restored - and for this, they will help the company. Though, as it turns out, the death of Smaug does not bring peace. And when an army of orcs descends, Bilbo agrees to accept the help of the dead, knowing it may cost him his life.

    Alan and Tim through the years.

    Summary

    Being the daughter of Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler should've been her first clue at what fate had in store for Grace. Nothing could prepare her for the island of Isla Nublar, the Jurassic World Park, or even the man who trains Raptors. If one thing is for sure, maybe she should've listened to her dad's ranting and raving a little more closely.
