Title: Clarity of Purpose, Chap. 8
Chapter Summary: The Council of Khazad-dûm is convened: Denethor and Théoden trade barbs, and Saruman meets Thorin in private with a proposition. Bilbo mostly tries to go as unnoticed as possible, for what input could a mere hobbit have into these grand affairs?
Relationship: Thorin/Bilbo
Characters: Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield, Gandalf, Balin, Dwalin, Saruman, Arwen, Glorfindel, Elladan, Elrohir, Theoden, Denethor, Galadriel
Fandom: Hobbit/Lord of the Rings. Begins in 2968, twenty-six years after the events of "Clarity of Vision" and fifty years before the canonical events of "Lord of the Rings." Thus, characters' ages and the geopolitical situation will be different than LoTR canon!

Summary: Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins have been parted for many years now, despite the love they bear each other. Now Thorin's research has uncovered a dire threat to Middle Earth--the Ring he carried a little while and then gave to Bilbo. Together with a group of companions composed of the different Free Peoples of Middle Earth, they must attempt to destroy the artifact before its Dark Lord can re-capture it.

( Everyone’s eyes turned to Bilbo, who wished desperately that the stone floor of the council room would open and swallow him up. )

( Their rooms were in a wing next to Balin's quarters, and were as sumptuous as any king's yet as cozy as any hobbit's: warmed by hidden vents, with a large bed piled high with eiderdown pillows and rich velvet throws. )

Story Summary: In a Middle-Earth where Erebor never fell, a shadow remains in the heart of the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo Baggins finds himself drawn reluctantly into a quest that will lead him across the continent--from Bree to Lake Evendim to the icy North and beyond--with a party of five dwarves searching for an artifact that will cure the ailing King Thrór.
Chapter Summary: The party leaves Lothlórien and makes its way to the gates of Khazad-dûm, as Thorin struggles with the return of his dark mood.

( They heard the party well before they arrived, four dwarvish voices roaring out a drinking-song of Erebor, with three elvish voices following along with some hesitation. )

Chapter Summary: The party arrives in the wood of Lothlórien and seeks council from its Lord and Lady.

( Birds sang among the trees, a sweet liquid sound, and the leaves rustled beneath their feet. The cool air seemed to be filled with light to Bilbo, each breath driving away the darkness that had haunted them since leaving Rivendell. )

Chapter Summary: Discovered and pursued by goblins, the party desperately searches for an exit to the warrens beneath the Misty Mountains.

( Everything seemed to be moving so slowly, yet at the same time too fast, far too fast. Thorin tore his eyes from the fight and groped for an arrow from Kíli's quiver, his hands clumsy on the unfamiliar weapon. )

Chapter Summary: The party arrives at Rivendell and is welcomed (if not warmly). Counsel is sought and received, and plans are made.

( Bilbo sank down in water up to his chin and his sigh of rapture sent small, silvery bubbles floating into the air. )

Summary: In which baths are taken, hair is braided, and Bilbo and Thorin take turns being embarrassed.

( At the base of the rock was a broad, shallow river, clear and cold, with a ford of large flat rocks. At the sight of clean water, Thorin suddenly became aware that he was filthy, covered with blood, sweat, dirt, and warg-drool. He heard a yearning sigh from Balin and caught Fili and Kili sharing hopeful glances, and decided that the search for shelter could wait. )
