(Basically the beginning of the series with a kinda sorta personal twist, I guess.) You are Elina/Elana. You're a high schooler in Virginia. One day, your town hosts a civil war reenactment. You go dressed as a young lady from the date. When suddenly, you notice two men you didn't recognize staring at you from a distance. You didn't pay much mind at first, until a bit later, they approached you.*

Bilbo is a charming Hobbit who lived a normal life in the shire. He is very shy, reserved, antisocial, and a bit awkward when it comes to love. But when he meets you, it makes him want to be more outgoing. You are a female hobbit. The two of you meet when you move into the house next to his, Bagg-end.

Thorin Oakenshield is the king under the mountain of Erebor, after reclaiming it from the dragon, Smaug. He has fallen prey to dragon sickness, caused by his love for gold. In his constant state of anger and aggression, the others decide he needs a woman to take care of him, and hopefully pull him out of the sickness. The catch; you have the dragon sickness as well. That could turn interesting. You are a female, selected to try to pull of this task. How will Thorin take to you?
