Boffins AU where both Bilbo and Bofur raise Frodo after his parents die and Bofur is constantly showing Frodo off and carrying him around because he loves his new nephew/adopted son. He loves to cuddle both Frodo and Bilbo because they’re his entire world.

A couple of days after departing Bag End, Bilbo (ignorant of dwarven culture) notices that one of Bofur's pigtails has come undone and reaches to re-tie it for him. It is in that moment that Bofur falls in love.

I love Bilbo and Bofur as a duo. It’s something like completely from the movies but they are just. So good. Romantically, platonically, anyway, they’re just great.
I kinda like the idea that they had a kind of friend crush on each other. Bofur who was so friendly and welcoming to Bilbo who was dealing with the realization that he fit in better with dwarves than with hobbits. Both desperately wanting to reach out and have that genuine comfortable camaraderie that they know they could have but being really scared to make the first step. Also dealing with the fact that they could be a little attracted to each other but they also have no clue because they don’t know how to act around each other. I also just think they’d always be teasing the other affectionately. I can imagine Bofur taking off his hat just to smush it on Bilbo’s head and mess up his hair with it. Bilbo whines that it smells bad and Bofur holds it on tighter.
They share so many moments of gentle kindness. I think if they had more time and things were different, they would’ve been in love.

For the Sweet and Spice Bingo: cooking together with Bofur and Bilbo please? <3
Tumblr media
First off Lathalea, I'M SO SORRY ABOUT HOW LONG THIS TOOK! Not to sound too much like a fanfic writer, but my health has taken a bit of a hit this month...on top of various natural disasters. 🤣
But this was something different for me and I do appreciate the challenge! 😊 I hope you enjoy.
Pairing: Bilbo x Bofur
Words: 928
Warnings: mentions to canon character deaths (but literally just in passing, this is actually a fairly fluffy fic)
“Now Bilbo, you should know I’m not anywhere close to as good a cook as my brother.” Bofur explained as he let the hobbit drag him along.
“Well I suppose it’s rather a good thing that I do know what I’m doing.” Bilbo remarked wryly. “I just need someone handy with a knife to dice for me, and you seem to fit the bill well enough.”
“Alright, alright.” He laughed.
The truth was Bofur was rather excited to get to spend some time with Bilbo. He had taken the Durins’ deaths just so hard, not that any of the rest of them were any better. Bofur was more than happy to be the one to put a smile back on the hobbit’s face. Without any more complaints, Bilbo had Bofur shoved into his small kitchenette, halfing cherries and other assorted berries.
“What is it that we’re making here again?” He asked as his knife slid smoothly through the blackberries.
“This is my Mam’s magic berry tarts.” Bilbo explained as he rolled out the dough.
“And what’s magic about it?” Bofur teased.
Bilbo gave a sort of breathless laugh, before his smile turned bitter.
“She always used to pull them out and let me help make them any time I was upset. Slipped down the Hill and scraped my knee? Magic berry tarts. It’s a rainy day with nothing to do? Magic berry tarts. Theo Brandybuck turning down my flower? Magic berry tarts. Somehow the process of making them helped me forget about whatever was on my mind.”
“And what exactly am I helping to distract you from?” Bofur asked softly.
Bofur half-expected to see Bilbo’s expression turn sour, but the little hobbit merely gave a sigh and a considering look. 
“Spring is almost upon us. I’ve been thinking about the Shire more and more with each passing day.”
It was a rather innocent statement, but one that caught Bofur off-guard all the same. He should have been expecting it. They had all wondered what Bilbo's plans would be, especially after he declined Gandalf’s invitation to travel with him after the grizzly battle that named Dain king rather than the one they followed. 
“And you’re thinking of…going back?” Bofur asked carefully as he placed the cut berries in the bowl next to Bilbo’s elbow.
“I’m not sure.” Bilbo admitted as he directed Bofur to cut his dough into squares. “There are many reasons to leave, only one really left on why I should stay. But I dare say it’s a worthwhile reason.”
Bofur slowed down on cutting the dough as he observed Bilbo. His attempts to keep from making eye contact. The blush that carried all the way up to his pointy little ears. Bofur felt like he had been stabbed in the stomach, but he forced a teasing grin anyways.
“Oh! So someone has caught our illustrious burglar’s eye then! Well out with it. Is it Nori? Is it that bloke from the Iron Hills who you’ve been talking to about pipeweed? There’s no shame a-course! He’s a fine lad with a rather lovely beard…”
Bilbo’s brows furrowed together as he shook his head, pausing in folding in the berries.
“No, how did you…? Ahem. No, it’s not Nori. And it’s not Durlik.”
Silence settled between them at the confirmation that there was someone in the mountain Bilbo was being sweet on. Bofur cut the last square, wiping his hands off on his pants when he was done.
“There now! Well then, if that’s all I should probably go. I think Bif was waiting for me down in his workshop after all. But I will happily accept some of these delicious magic tarts when you’re finished baking them!”
“WAIT!” Bilbo cried out, reaching out for Bofur’s sleeve.
The dwarf froze as the hobbit stood there. Wide-eyed. Almost shocked by his own actions. 
“I, uh…” Bilbo coughed as he began to fidget in place. “That is to say…part of the magic of magic berry tarts…is that you make them with someone you care for.”
Bilbo looked up at him from under his lashes as his formed fists bounced against the side of his thighs. Bofur stared at him blankly. Well of course, that’s what being a friend was…oh. Oh. He wasn’t quite certain what look was on his face as he figured it out, but he could tell Bilbo knew as the perceptive hobbit’s mouth quirked into a quick weak smirk.
“You know…” Bofur began, his voice unusually hoarse. “I would think if your only reason for not going back to the Shire was because of a single person…well that’d be a mighty silly reason.”
Bilbo’s entire expression drooped as his eyes turned straight down to his furry little toes. Bofur had to put his hand under his chin to get him to look back at him. 
“After all, I’m a rich dwarf now. I could plant roots just about anywhere I want to, I reckon. Also I’m not afraid to tell you that I’ve never met him, but Theo Brandybuck sounds like an idiot. Anyone would be lucky to accept a flower from Bilbo Baggins, this dwarf included.”
Outwardly, Bilbo didn’t seem to react much beyond a soft sigh and a twitching nose. However, his soft hazel eyes were practically brimming with emotions. 
“Well then.” Bilbo breathed. “I guess that’s that then. See? I told you. Magic berry tarts.”
Bofur laughed as he pulled Bilbo in for a hug, not feeling quite brave enough to kiss him. Luckily, bravery was not a trait the hobbit was short on.

Characters that are usually really funny, kind and love to play around suddenly becoming serious, angry or almost feral when their partner is threatened is the best thing.
Since I’m obsessed with Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit at the moment let’s imagine someone hurting or upsetting Bilbo and everyone (except Bifur and Bombur who would know how he is with those he loves) is surprised when Bofur shows up and is furious.

My dearest @werpiper requested Shadow Agate and question #15
What did I learn from writing this fic?
This is a hard question, lol. I wrote it back at the end of 2013/beginning of 2014, so there’s been a lot of time for me to forget the details.
So this fic was a side story/add on to Smoke Sapphire, a Bilbo/Bofur post-bagginshield fic. I think it was the first time that I wrote a main narrative and then turned around, grabbed its side characters, and showed what-all they had going on at the same time. Why does Nori so loudly not believe in love? Why does he help Bilbo and Bofur, and why do it in such an assholeish way? Why are he and Dwalin, who were thick as thieves in the beginning of Smoke Sapphire, no longer on speaking terms? What are the contributing factors to why Dwalin is so angry and downright cruel to Bilbo at first?
Everyone has their own painful stories going on, and I think this is the first time I made a new fic in a series to add a whole bunch of additional context, to resolve hinted-at side stories in a satisfying way, and the like. And I think it worked great! Looking back at it, I kind of want to do more fics like that.
Also, re: that first desolating chapter of Shadow Agate, I learned that I can take the horrible and heartbreaking backstories that my muse the Terrible Creature whispers in my ears as I write, and I can make compelling stories out of them to share the pain--as is the right and duty of fandom.
