⭒DinCobb Zine Fic Preview⭒

This is a snippet of my summer stargazing fic (with bonus yearning) for the DinCobb zine Paths Cross Again: Seasons. It’s my first time contributing to a zine!

“You’re our home, Cobb,” he said.

Cobb pulled him in by the helmet for a ferocious kiss to the arcing cup of its jaw, a more tender one on the apex of the visor, his body crying out the stay he wasn’t so mean as to ask aloud. This was the way Din was, and Cobb loved him so. He’d be there when his wanderers returned. His last kiss lingered, forehead-to-forehead, Mandalorian-style. “Don’t you forget it.”

Din’s hand settled onto the back of his neck. “Don’t let me.”

At nearly 100 pages, this zine is well-earned my pleasure full to the brim with beautiful art and stories, and merch aplenty besides. The preorder goal has already been met. The stretch goals are within reach. No need to think it through — this is the zine you’ve been searching for (for many parsecs).

Preorders are live today — go take a look at the project page or at @dincobbzine !

The complete series, all the way back to the fic that started it all - 21 December 2012, nine years ago today~

Title: Peace Until the Morning Fandom: The Hobbit Rating: G - T Relationships: Bilbo Baggins/Bofur Characters: Bilbo Baggins, Bofur, Thorin’s Company

Summary: In which Bilbo finds everything he needs within Bofur and within himself on quiet, simple nights.

A love letter to Middle-earth and semicolons.

-

Part One: A Light in Dark Places In which Bilbo suffers from nightmares, and he is not alone.

Part Two: Everyday Deeds of Ordinary Folk In which there are cultural differences, kissing lessons, and an absurd amount of happiness to keep the darkness at bay.

Part Three: What Day Will Bring In which Bilbo is granted more than he dared ask for, and gives something in return.

Part Four: Gently We Rise In which sorrow finally begins to lift, Bofur finally has his place to belong, and Bilbo finally finds out what Dwarves do differently.

Part Five: To Celebrate a Simple Life In which Bilbo looks behind, ahead, and by his side.

Bilbo and Bofur

[happiness-in-a-hat]

I just had to take screenshots because the look Bofur gives Bilbo when Thorin says they send the lightest over the river first. And Bilbo’s reply look is just priceless.

[happiness-in-a-hat]

"I wish you all the luck in the world. I really do."

Bofur was my first crush amongst the dwarves. James Nesbitt is an amazing actor & I love his precious face !
