Leona Baggins lives with her older brother Bilbo in the peaceful rolling hills of the Shire - that peace is short-lived when a wizard and a group of chaotic dwarves seek them out for an adventure of a lifetime.

A/N: Hi everyone! As you can see, I have decided to end this story. I hate leaving unfinished stories just sitting when in my head I know I won't be finishing them - and if I continue the chapters will be uninspired and I don't want that at all. This was my first successful story and it has such a special place for me. Thank you all for the overwhelming support and love for Leo! I adore her as well. Enjoy the epilogue and thank you all again.

That love was abounding...enduring. From the unlikely love shared by a dwarf prince and a hobbit girl came the most beautiful, prosperous kingdoms in all of Middle Earth. Erebor was rebuilt to its full glory at an impressive time as a result of the support for the new King and Queen of Durin. The marriage was not only the bond between two lovers, but it signified unity between the peaceful nations of Middle Earth.
For the first time, hobbits welcomed the presence of dwarves - despite them still thinking they were rather disgusting sometimes. Humans, who had stayed rather secluded in their walls, entertained the associations of other races outside of those walls - finding some peace in knowing they would have a queen of a different race on their side. The divide between dwarves and elves was mended by Leo's diplomatic efforts - though, there would always be a scar left behind.
Diplomacy was quickly determined to be Leo's place in the kingdom. She was widely loved before she became queen, and her dedication to a kingdom of a race not her own only heightened her reputation as a queen of love. In her younger years after her coronation, she would travel to the other kingdoms of dwarves, kingdoms of men, kingdoms of elves, and the land of hobbits. She became quite a common name - and one looked upon with great admiration. Fili couldn't have been prouder of his beautiful little queen - reminding her often how much he too adored her...and emphasized he adored her far more than anyone else!

As Fili expressed celebrations for Leo's successes, Leo too boasted on her husband's. Fili ruled Durin like no other king before him. He took great inspiration from Thorin in his ability to be respected, yet, he ruled with a lighter hand - all while maintaining that he was not a king to be taken advantage of. Though dwarves were historically known to stick to their own, Fili facilitated Leo's doctrine of unity among races - and he saw the greatness that poured from each of those races.
