Who are Bofur and Leanna?
Bofur is a dwarf character from "The Hobbit" films and I pair him with my original character, Leanna, a halfling. I developed Leanna in 2010, initially being a self-insert until I wanted to take her story further and more seriously. Bofur and Leanna's for me was unexpected and ended up being something I hyper-fixated on the longest, if not permanently. They have brought me joy, comfort, and feelings I don't remember having before. One day, their story will be animated.
>>About Leanna<<

Summary:

The Beginning

  • Leanna lived with her cousin, Bilbo, ever since she was 10 years old. They were close enough to be mistaken for siblings. Bilbo is protective of her, but at a distance, knowing she can take care of herself. However, during the 'dwarf incident', Leanna hid herself from the dwarves deep within the home. Throughout the night, she kept herself unseen, even though Gandalf had appeared and things eventually calmed down. She was not brave at this point. 
  • Bofur ended up seeing a glimpse of Leanna peeking around the corner, when she wanted to see the commotion after Bilbo fainted. She quickly disappeared back into the shadows, passing out from overwhelming tiredness and anxiety. She is later lifted to bed by Bilbo and Gandalf and woke the next morning to have an interesting conversation with Bilbo.
  • The next morning, Bilbo leaves with the dwarves and Leanna stays behind to watch Bag End. Working part time at the The Green Dragon as a barmaid, she ran into Sven, who had decided to rest there for the evening. After a unlikely conversation, she invited him over for tea the next day. She learned that Sven was in desperate need of a wizard, and Leanna knew of one not two days away. The two catch up with the dwarves days later after the Troll incident, which is also where Bofur and Leanna first officially speak.
  • The dwarves and commotion from the danger that had just passed made Leanna very anxious. Bofur officially introduced himself when she picked up his hat, one of the many things the dwarves had stripped off of them by the Trolls. 
  • Leanna and Bofur (along with Sven + Company) then traveled from the Troll Shaws to Rivendell, which was about a 2 week's journey. During this time, they got o know each other a little more, and Leanna came out of her shell slightly. (Bilbo and Sven are protective).
  • After they reached Rivendell, the beautiful Elven city and home to Sven, Bofur's feelings for Leanna finally lit. He was hesitant, thinking it was an impossible dream; not only was Leanna getting along with Fili and Kili too, (the princes of Erebor) but there was no telling where the journey would lead them. Perhaps it was just a phase, or a random attraction.
  • The night before the dwarves left, Bofur slipped and fell deeply in love with her when seeing the softest side of her - nuzzling a kitten, and a genuine smile while revisiting her old room when growing up. Without words he basically confessed his feelings through a serenade via flute and a private dance.
  • The dwarves leave the next day, Leanna telling Bilbo she will stay behind and go home. Her and Sven wait another day but hear word that Estilil is heading to the Woodland realm for an emergency message. They decide to continue the journey and go through a path in the Misty Mountains, alternate to the dwarves' path. (2 week journey)
  • They end up getting chased by Azog's goblins and wargs, same ones that chase the company up the tree. They reunite with them as they run down the mountain.
  • The eagles took all of them to the edge of a mountain miles away from their previous destination. Once landed, Bofur and Leanna were able to comment on each other's presence and reunite properly. They both remembered what happened the night before he left Rivendell, and was hoping there weren't any changed feelings since that event.
  • They all eventually get chased to Beorn's, where they stay for a few days, giving Bofur and Leanna plenty of time for romantic tension and interruptions. At this point, Bofur dreams of being with Leanna - absolutely head over heels, and thinks it's fate that they reunited once again. Leanna kisses him on the cheek here, the first romantically physical contact he receives. He is once again interrupted by Bilbo and has no time to court Leanna the proper way.
  • The next day they travel to the edge of Mirkwood, Bofur and Leanna were exchanging some extra smiles. However, Sven decides they must travel to the Elven Realm where Leanna's mother, Estilil is after hearing she had come that way. They must travel north, while the dwarves traveled through Mirkwood. 
  • Bofur and Leanna are completely convinced this is the last time they will see each other - that the first two times were just lucky breaks. Bofur hands her a wood carving of a cat, similar to the one she nuzzled in Rivendell. The words, "Amralime", etched into it. If it weren't for Thorin and his hasty orders and Sven glaring down at them on his horse, he would have kissed her.
  • Leanna gets poisoned on the way to the woodland realm, but is rejected care by Thranduil because of the mysterious darkness within Sven. He runs miles and miles to Laketown, where Estilil is said to be. She is able to lift most of the poison. 
  • Bofur soon hears word that Leanna is in the healing house, and after making sure he wasn't just hearing things, ran to her location. He opened the door and she was there sitting up, pale, sickly, but recovering, sipping some tea.
  • They reunite with a passionate hug, but they do not share a kiss or anything further than that for the rest of the time they are in Laketown, but the yearning and tension were so very high - neither knew what to do, if it were even worth it because of the potential doom ahead with Smaug in the Lonely Mountain. 
  • Leanna heals slowly as they spend at least one week there before Smaug attacks Laketown. Once again, they are separated - Bofur, Fili, Kili, Oin, Tauriel, and Bard's children take the boat while Leanna, Sven, and Estilil escape while helping families onto boats. 
  • Laketown perishes, but the dragon is eventually killed. Bofur looks for Leanna along the beachside where the survivors and debris piled up. He shouts her name over and over.​ Eventually he hears her through a crowd and shoves his way through to reveal a desperate Leanna looking for the dwarf she fell hard for.
  • They reunite once again with a big embrace, Leanna's desperation causing her to blindly kiss Bofur. It was no bother to him, of course, and they continued to hug in tears.
  • As if separating were destined to be for them, Bofur was forced to leave Leanna on the shore as him, Fili, Kili, and Oin traveled across the lake to head to the mountain, where the rest of the company is. Leanna stays to help the survivors alongside Sven and Estilil.
  • The Battle of Five Armies begins. Bofur is fighting outside of Erebor, Leanna is defending the healing house in Dale alongside Sven and Estilil. Both almost get killed during battle.
  • Thorin and Fili and Kili perish as they do in the movies/books. They were friends, and Sven had taken a liking to everyone by the end. As soon as the battle ends, Leanna uses the rest of her adrenaline to search for Bofur in the field, and find him walking back after mourning the loss of Thorin and his nephews. 
  • Post Funeral, Bofur pours his feelings out for Leanna and tells her everything he has felt since that day in Rivendell. He asks her to stay and marry him, and of course she says yes.
  • Bofur and Leanna have their wedding not too long after. They invited everyone in Thorin's company, and of course Sven, Estilil, Bilbo, and Gandalf. They were eager to be one.
