Format: drabble
Genre: Character Study
Rating: K+
Warnings: n/a
Summary: Compromise comes in many forms.
In Love and War
Love and princes marry not – so runs the old saying, which, with calculation, has brought many a princely pair to a resolute, if not a particularly passionate, marriage bed.
Finduilas of Dol Amroth is tall and wry, and full of grace: it is hard not to be moved by her. If she is not all he desires, still, they could, he thinks, make a happy marriage...
In Gondor, they honor Tulkas, for war in this land is a vast and brutal empire, and Thorongil learns a new prayer: Tulkas Astaldo, lend me strength to love more than some little happiness!
