so you have just about every other type on the spectrum so I wanna ask: are any of the people we’ve seen in Sansukh bisexual/romantic or pan? will there be people who are?

Hells yes, there are bisexual and biromantic people in Sansukh! The most prominent one is Thorin himself (he had a crush on the beautiful Mizim as a younger Dwarf, but ended up falling for Bilbo much much later). 

Of the children of Bombur and Alris, Alfur is bisexual (he was crushing on Gimli, alllll the way back in chapter 8. He ends up marrying a dwarrowdam named Geri – the one who is in labour during Chapter 29!). Bomfur is pansexual (and genderfluid). Bolrur is biromantic ace. 

(for more on Bombur & Alris’ mighty clan, check this out)

I also consider Sam Gamgee to be biromantic. 

Hey Dets, during the time of the quest, did any of the then dead dwarves realise that Bilbo was Thorin’s One, the same way that most of the Company observed and guessed? Thror and Thrain don’t seem to have known, but did Fris or Frerin or anyone else perhaps wonder about it as they watched the Company move towards Erebor?

Ah 🙂

Yes, as you’ve gathered, Thror and Thrain didn’t figure it out. But Frerin definitely did. Even though it hurt him (and Frerin doesn’t deal very well with his own pain, only with other people’s) he watched the whole sorry story unfold. Thror and Thrain had to leave when Thorin fell under the gold’s spell (too much, too painful, too close, my son, my grandson, not you, not you, not again, no no no – ) but Frerin stayed. Frerin saw. Young, clever, immature Frerin knew long before Thorin did. He knows his brother, after all. 

Fris is an inconstant watcher. She is more likely to care for people one-on-one, where she can speak to them and care for them. She is very good at comforting those she loves, and watching people suffer at a distance is not something she can handle very well. She knew Thorin cared for Bilbo, but not to the extent that he did.

Vili visits Dis every morning without fail. Not in one hundred and forty years has he missed a sunrise. He now and then stopped in on his boys as well, and he noticed a thing or two that puzzled him – particularly after the Carrock. But there were so many more pressing things for him to consider, really. His boys’ safety and survival (and later, Kili’s immediate attachment to this strange Elven captain) occupied most of his thoughts.

Hrera spotted it immediately. She knows what it is to dislike a person on sight, and through time and circumstances come to love the very things that had once seemed so obnoxious and ridiculous. She knew the minute Thorin swung down from a ledge upon the Misty Mountains to rescue his ‘useless burglar’. After all, how many times did she rail against her allotted husband, only to choose him for herself in the end?

Comes Around Again – Chapter 12 – scarletjedi – The Lord of the Rings – All Media Types, The Hobbit – All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

I started reading Sansukh just a couple of weeks ago and wanted to tell you that I love it. I started reading because of Kili/Tauriel (I wish there was more about them!) but, because of this fic, I now ship Bilbo/Thorin and Gimli/Legolas too. Never shipped them before so thanks for that!

Aw, thank you, I am glad you’re enjoying it! AND YES COME JOIN US ON THE GIGOLAS SHIP TO VALINOR (and the bagginshield ship on the Sea of Angst)!

Hello! I have finally convinced my friend to give Bagginshield fics a try, but I’m having a really hard time deciding on what to recommend for her to start out. I would of course recommend Sansûkh but she refuses to start anything that isn’t finished (which also takes out some of my other favorites) so I’m really struggling. Do you have any suggestions for fics for a beginner Bagginshield shipper?

Hi there, Nonnie!

Okaaaaaay, well, these are all from my Rec List, and I think they would be fun for a beginner Bagginshield shipper to read.

One Single Sunlit Day More (Teen) by feverishsea (Gigolas, Bagginshield)
“The road goes ever on, my boy. May it take you far away from here.”

Beneath the Mountains Music Woke (Mature) by EmilianaDarling (Bagginshield)
After being rescued by Bilbo, Thorin begins to realize that his feelings for the halfling are more than simple gratitude. But past ills cannot be so easily undone, and the growing need inside him proves difficult to understand or control. And although he might be king in name, a man without land or wealth has little to offer anyone.

The Road Delivered Us Home (Mature) by Keelywolfe (Bagginshield)
In the years since Bilbo left Erebor, he has lost his respectability, gained a nephew, and gotten on with life at Bag End.

He’d left aside adventure for the comforts and peace of his little Hobbit hole, and for the love of a child who needed him. Though perhaps, adventures can yet find him. Thorin Lives AU.

Something Blue (Mature) by Lapin (Bagginshield – bonus Good Guy!Dain and Fili/Ori)
Thorin marries Bilbo after the Battle of Five Armies, a marriage of convenience, not love. Slowly, they must come to make the best of it, Bilbo resolves. After all, he’s a Hobbit. They make the best of things. Everybody Lives AU

The Inevitable Love Story between Two Oblivious Idiots (Teen) by Bgtea(Bagginshield, Dwori)
In which everyone sees the budding romance between Thorin and Bilbo, except, of course, for Thorin and Bilbo themselves.

Also, Dis brings the fear of God in other Dwarves and likes to meddle in her big brother’s romantic life, and if she has to do this through scathingly written letters, then so be it. Everybody Lives AU

After the Dust Settles (Teen) by Bgtea (Bagginshield)
“It seems that your bravery has done the impossible and sparked a truce between us and the Elves, fragile as it may be.” At this, the Dwarf king smiled wryly. Who would have thought that a soft Hobbit would have so much sway over the two most powerful figures in this region?

Bilbo Baggins did not respond. He had remained deeply unconscious for the past seven days.

Thorin Oakenshield tried not to let his heart break.

An AU retelling of the events before, during, and after the Battle, but not necessarily in that order. Everybody Lives AU

The Sons of Durin (Teen) by KivrinEngle (Bagginshield)
Bilbo Baggins is a humble grocer, living a simple, quiet life. He likes his solitude and his predictable routine.

The police say the Sons of Durin are a crime family. The government has labeled them a group of environmental terrorists. Thorin Oakenshield will tell you that they are simply desperate for a home.

But when Bilbo is dragged into the midst of the group as their unwilling burglar, his life will take a turn for the terrifying, and everything he has taken for granted will be torn asunder. Modern AU

Made and Remade the Necklace of Songs (Explicit) by littleblackdog (Bagginshield)
In a Middle Earth where dwarves dream of Heartsongs and hobbits carry the name of their fated partner as private Mark, Bilbo Baggins had never been able to properly translate the strange rows of runes inscribed on his wrist.

And likewise, Thorin Oakenshield had never imagined he would hear the voice of his Heartsong from a fussy little gentlehobbit. Soul Mates AU

Oakenshield Press (Explicit) by littleblackdog (Bagginshield)
Andrew’s description had been sufficient to recognize him— a riot of honey brown curls, short in stature, a well-favoured face with expressive features— but it hadn’t quite been enough to prepare Tom for the sharp, almost painful tug in his gut at the sight of the man.

They had never met before, to the best of Tom’s recollection, but there was something eerily and inexplicably familiar about him all the same. Modern AU.
