''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/634290/chapters/1150509 A Shot in the Dark]]'' is a ''Film/TheHobbit'' [[SlashFic Thorin/Bilbo]] fanfic by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/Silver_pup/pseuds/Silver_pup Silver_pup]].

Bilbo goes to sleep on the voyage to Valinor, and wakes up to find himself back in Bag End, before the Company arrive. He promptly decides to use his knowledge of the future to ensure Thorin, Fíli and Kíli survive - oh, and do something about that One Ring, too.

!! Contains examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: Bilbo; justified since he's already lived the events of the quest once. Also Kíli, who [[spoiler: kills Smaug in this timeline]]; and Beorn, Bard and Tauriel, who accompany Bilbo on his quest to destroy the Ring.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited [=/=] TwoPersonLoveTriangle: Bilbo is in love with Thorin, who is in love with Bilbo but thinks Bilbo is in love with someone who died long ago (which is technically true).
* BerserkButton: Bilbo claims that Smaug went on a rampage because Bilbo said there were some things his fire couldn't melt. This is only partially true.
* ForWantOfANail [=/=] InSpiteOfANail: Many events of the quest happen as they did before, though the circumstances are often different.
* OhCrap: Bilbo when Smaug recognises the One Ring.
* WackyMarriageProposal: Braiding one of your beads into someone's hair is considered a marriage proposal in Dwarven culture. A lot of awkwardness could have been avoided if Thorin had informed Bilbo of this before doing it.
