* RealityEnsues: When Kathryn decides to return to the Lonely Mountain, she tries to sell her property and animals and set out immediately afterwards. Much to her frustration, Bree's magistrate insists on weighing the value of everything she has at their own pace instead of just buying everything at the lowest price, and it also takes time to find a farmer who'd buy her animals since all the farmers are busy due to the nearing harvest season. Add in the equation a huge storm, and Kathryn is able to begin her journey after being delayed by an entire week.

The Heart Trilogy is a series of ''Film/TheHobbit'' and later ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' fanfics by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4774853/DONOVAN94 DONOVAN94]]. The trilogy features an OriginalCharacter, a Seer named Kathryn, and her gradually developing romance with the dragon Smaug. The first two parts are completed, while the third part is currently dormant.
The first part of the series, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9830774/1/Heart-of-Fire Heart of Fire]], begins with Gandalf meeting Kathryn, a Seer who lives in hiding and has an amazing story to tell. Many years earlier, the ostracized seer wandered Middle-Earth in search of peace, but when she settled in the ruined city of Dale, her life was changed forever. Upon hearing her heavenly singing voice, Smaug decided to keep Kathryn as a part of his hoard. From there began Kathryn's game of survival that led her to be connected with the dragon forever… to the point that she decides to return to him when Thorin Oakenshield's Company sets out to reconquer the Lonely Mountain.
Official description of Heart of Fire: ''"I am SMAUG! I kill where I wish and none dare resist! And now, you belong to me!" Smaug stirs beneath Erebor when he hears a heavenly voice and knows he must have such a prize for his own. Trapped in the Dragon's lair, Kathryn, a seer, must survive this deadly creature to escape to freedom. But a vision plagues her, one that connects her to the mighty dragon forever.''
In the second part of the series, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10108427/1/Heart-of-Ashes Heart of Ashes]], Smaug returns from the dead, transformed into a man. Determined and wrathful, he sets out to find a way to regain his true form, exact his revenge on the people of Dale and the dwarves of Erebor, and reunite with Kathryn who's been taken to the city of Vathvael. Dark forces hunt the dragon and the Seer, and with no one to trust, Kathryn is having continuous visions of a darkness that calls to her… and an evil that now grows inside of Smaug. Click [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPTkuy1tg60 here]] to see the trailer.
Official description of Heart of Ashes: ''"I now have a duty that you abandoned me to face. It is time for you to face the ashes of your fires, dragon…" Smaug has been resurrected into the form of a human man, and now, he will stop at nothing to reclaim his lost form, exact his revenge on those that killed him and possess the one woman who stole his heart. The world will burn before him and darkness will feed his rage.''
The third part of the series, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11571035/1/Heart-of-the-Inferno Heart of the Inferno]], takes place during the War of the Ring. Smaug and Kathryn, who have lived a secluded life for sixty years, are called by Gandalf to aid the Free Peoples against Sauron and his minions. Click [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avP4cQ-7ebI here]] to see the trailer.
Official description of Heart of the Inferno: ''"The third age is now at an end, and in its place I shall bring the wings and fires to herald a new era: the Age of Dragons!" Gandalf seeks the help of an unlikely ally to fight the evil of Sauron: Smaug. With Kathryn, a Seer, he shall go on a journey that will determine the fate of Middle-Earth forever. The fires have ignited, the ashes have scattered, but the inferno still rages.''
