Burning Bright (16574 words) by Morgyn Leri

Summary:

After the Battle of Five Armies, Thorin collapses next to an unexpected ally, expecting that he won't wake again. When he does, he has to deal with a cranky, snarky elf - excuse me, avari - politics and diplomacy that he'd thought he'd left for others, and learning to be King Under the Mountain in fact as well as name.

Ráva - said avari - is quite happy to watch, and be a pain in Thorin's neck, though this is the first he's met Thorin (or, indeed, any of the line of Durin). Even if being around Thorin does leave his head feeling rather like he's the anvil for a particularly sadistic smith.

Summary:

Dís had thought she had lost all her close kin with the fall of her sons and her brother in the Battle of Five Armies, but still she returned to Erebor, because where else was home? Fifty years after those deaths, she sees what appears to be a ghost of her dead brother, and wonders if something many years before the quest had been more than it appeared.

Tíli had always thought of herself as a crafter's daughter, a smith by trade, and a friend of the avari who dwell to the east of the mountain halls she had grown up in. She had known her parents weren't hers by blood, but she'd never had any inkling of who those who gave her life were. When she finds out, she's not at all certain what to do with that information - save not what's expected of her.
