Canon Couples Dribbles

by dreamflower02

A series of poems for the Back-to-Middle-earth-Month Bingo card, "Canon Couples". A dribble (yes, dribble not drabble) for each pairing on the card, ranges from humorous to serious, and includes couples both famous and obscure: Hobbits, Men, Elves, Maiar and even Valar. Book-verse. (I've now completed all couples on the card.) Most recent: DenethorFinduilas.

Creator's Notes: I began some of these dribbles for the "Canon Couples" card in 2012, and decided to see how many more of them I could complete this year.
It's my headcanon that as Deputy Mayor, Frodo performed some weddings, Sam's foremost among them.
Summary: Deputy Mayor Frodo Baggins proudly officiates at a wedding.

Frodo Officiates

Over years I watched as shy love began to bloom,
hoping for the day when their shyness was overcome.
My own fault that it was delayed,
dragging my friend into dark danger.
At the end of all things,
his thoughts were of her.
Now we are home.
I speak vows
to join
them.
