In a 'blind bilbo sees through scent' fanfic, it might go like this. Bilbo loses his sight during an encounter with a dark magic - using enemy. But then he discovers that his sense of smell has become super - sharp. He starts to recognize people by their individual scents, like Thorin's musky, noble scent. And he can even detect the different terrains they pass through by the smell of the earth and plants. This allows him to contribute to the group in a new and unexpected way, making the story more about his inner strength and adaptation.
Well, perhaps in the fanfic, Bilbo, despite being blind, has developed an extraordinary sense of smell. He could use this ability to detect the presence of friends and foes. For example, he might be able to tell if Gandalf is approaching just by the unique scent of his pipe -weed. He could also sense the danger of orcs by their foul smell, and use this to warn his companions. This new ability could lead to all sorts of adventures where his sense of smell becomes a crucial element in their quests.
One way to make it interesting is by creating unique scents for different characters and places. For example, give the elves a flowery, ethereal scent that Bilbo can detect from far away. Also, introduce conflicts related to his new ability. Maybe some enemies try to mask their scents to deceive Bilbo. This would add suspense to the story.
One possible plot could be that Bilbo, being blind, has to rely on the kindness of the Laketown people to survive his sickness. Maybe he befriends a local healer who tries different remedies. The people of Laketown might initially be suspicious but then grow to care for him as they learn of his adventures.
A Laketown girl who is curious about the outside world could be a main character. She would be drawn to Bilbo because of his tales from far - away lands. And an old wise man in Laketown who has knowledge of ancient remedies could also be a main character. He would try to use his knowledge to help Bilbo regain his sight and health.
One possible plot is that Dwalin and Bilbo are on a journey and they need to cook to survive. Dwalin has his dwarf recipes in mind, but Bilbo is skeptical. They first have to find the ingredients in the wild. Bilbo uses his knowledge of the land to find things like wild berries and mushrooms, while Dwalin hunts for small game. When they start cooking, they learn from each other. Dwalin teaches Bilbo how to cook the game in a dwarf - style stew, and Bilbo shows Dwalin how to make a delicious berry tart. Their relationship grows stronger through this cooking experience.
In this fanfic, perhaps Bilbo, who might be an orphan or in a difficult situation, is taken in by the Dwarves. The Dwarves could see his potential, like his cleverness or his ability to think on his feet. They might raise him as one of their own, teaching him Dwarvish culture, combat skills, and the value of loyalty within their community. This could lead to Bilbo growing up with a different set of values and skills compared to his original upbringing in the Shire, and it could also set him on a different kind of adventure, one more intertwined with Dwarvish affairs.
Well, perhaps the fanfic could be about Bilbo using the gems he acquired during his adventures to adorn himself in a show of newfound wealth and status. Maybe he wears them to a grand event in Middle - earth, causing quite a stir among the other characters.
Well, perhaps Bilbo uses his wits and the One Ring to get the upper hand on Azog. He could set a trap using his knowledge of the terrain and the orc's weaknesses.
One possible plot could be that Bilbo discovers a magical artifact during his adventures that has the unforeseen consequence of causing Orcs to rapidly grow in size and strength. This throws Middle - earth into chaos as the Orcs become more formidable foes. Bilbo then feels responsible and embarks on a new quest to find a way to reverse this effect.
Well, perhaps the plot could involve Bilbo hiding her true gender identity in a world where being a girl might bring unexpected challenges or opportunities. Maybe she has to keep it a secret to be able to go on adventures like the male hobbits do. She could be constantly worried about being discovered while also having to deal with her own self - discovery and acceptance of her femininity.
One possible plot could be that Bulma discovers a unique scent that only the man she loves emits. This scent has a magical effect on her, making her feel calm and happy. She then tries to recreate the scent in her lab to understand its properties better.
