#marigold gamgee

꧁ Imagine a world where Frodo did not leave the Shire, but stayed and healed with the help of his friends, and found love with Sam's sweet younger sister, Marigold.

This is them, having a wholesome tutoring session over lots of hobbit-worthy snacks, drawn for me by the lovely @vanyamire.

So.... Hey!

° It is difficult for him to express his emotions in front of his dad.

@frodothefair : I checked the Appendix C. It's even worst than I thought. @celeluwhenfics you were so right.

So, in the text, Marigold has been named "Boutondor". And ok, not the same but at least she is here.

BUT! In the Appendix C, the name beside Sam, who marries Tolman (who has been perfectly translated by the way), so the name is?

Marguerite.

Hi everyone, and welcome to another world!

This is my first Fanfic Vlog, theme is Lord of the Rings, and the absolute gayness of its main hobbit characters... Jokes aside, I recently rewatched The Lord of the Rings movies, and it finally stuck with me how queer-coded Sam and Frodo are, and how PERFECT they are as a couple. 🥰

I am not exactly a Tolkien fan (I really admire him as a writer and worldbuilder, but I never delved too much into his lore and genealogy, which... is kind of a lot), but I researched as much as I could to be accurate to the masterful work this one man did, and sure enough, I hope I did a good work. Also, I can't get enough of the Shire.... It's just too perfect!!! Hence why I wrote this down thinking of the movies' timeline, where nobody DARED to touch this safe haven of a land, and it didn't hear but echoes from the war with Sauron... 🥲

So here's my first complete fanfiction ever, named after one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard, courtesy by Of Monsters And Men, featuring my personal take on a different ending for Sam and Frodo, one I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did as I was writing it down! 🤩

Marigold Gamgee

Sam’s sister, marries Young Tom Cotton.

Goldilocks Gamgee

―୨୧⋆ ˚ Ainslie, an young woman of Rohan from The Golden Hall, drawn for me by @eliounora

“Oh, your Majesty! Your Majesty, Queen Lothy,” she cried as she spied Lothíriel stirring, “His Majesty is back! He’s just come back this morning! Oh, isn’t it wonderful?! He’s been asking about you…” Her voice was crisp and clear as a mountain spring, and some of her words were more emphasized than others by her bouncing.

ABOUT AINSLIE:

꧁ When Lads Wear Skirts and Lasses Wear Breeches ꧂

READ ON AO3 ┃ PREVIEW :

They talked of many things: of Mr. Bilbo, dearly departed but not gone, and of Buckland, where she had never been, but where boats were plentiful and Mr. Frodo and Mr. Merry had many acquaintances. They even talked of her training as a midwife, for both Mr. Frodo and Mr. Merry were unabashedly enthused about her future. 

But she never thought of him that way – though he certainly seemed to think of her.

Whenever he visited and passed by the kitchen, he raised his strong, well-shaped eyebrows and asked, “Oh, Mari, when are we going to go for a walk, you and I?”

SUMMARY : Merry Brandybuck is clever, charismatic, and quick with a joke. But Marigold Gamgee does not think of him “that way,” until he comes back from his adventure. (Pure, sweet fluff).

EXCERPT :

“Someone else… better for me? But Mr. Frodo… There isn’t anyone better…"

He squeezed her hands and pulled away, trailing his fingers over hers.

“No, there are many who are better, I think,” he said, looking down at his nails – short, and bitten down to the quick. “Somebody healthy, for one. Someone you can live a long, full life with. You’re a vibrant young woman, Mari, but you have to understand – if you hitch your wagon to my star, you’re laying yourself down in a coffin.”

With a short, jagged sigh, he looked away.
