A remarkable little friendship story, featuring a conversation between Bilbo and Elrond after the Ring went South: A Light In Shadows by icarus_chained
Wasn't it though? And from what I could tell, this seemed to be the author's only LotR fic! But what a lovely take on the friendship between Bilbo and Elrond.
And the story hit on what I thought was key to Bilbo's "relationship" to the Ring; it never really mattered to him, and any possessiveness he felt for it was imposed on him from outside and simply couldn't find a hold on him in his heart.
