I was sorely disappointed at the portrayal of Legolas and Gimli in the movie Two Towers, and a vidder is unfortunately forced to use the material someone else has provided, unlike the freedom a fic writer has. But as I got more distance to the disappointment, I decided I had enough good Legolas and Gimli moments to be able to tell their story the way I saw it.
The choice of song has a humorous aspect, but the subject matter is deeply serious (and deeply romantic ::g::); Tolkiens story of the Elf and the Dwarf that overcame ancient hostility and distrust, and came to love a person of another race as their companion in war and peace, life and death. This has never been a more topical issue than it is today.
Dedicated to all the good people at the Axe and Bow community, who keeps the flame of Gimli and Legolas burning.

Without
a moments hesitation
They threw caution to the wind.
He though, she must be blind not to see
He was no prince charming, no beauty.
She held flowers at her fingertips,
And honey fell from her lips,
He dived, into the oceans wild
As she swam in the morning mist...
He said, if it's mine it will be, always yours.
Cast away any doubt and open up those Doors...
it
was the
Shark and the mermaid
As they grow in mind and body,
And the days turned into years.
He through one day she might go away,
But her love overshadowed his fears.
Under the liquid sky,
Where they lived they were legends to Behold.
Fate distracted by their simple charms,
Left them there to love alone.
Now the angels wait patiently,
For the shadows down below, they stop and
Smile because...
It's the shark and the mermaid
Nobody thought that the love would last
Everybody looked and everybody laughed
But the mermaid and the shark they just
Slipped away
Nothing stopped them no one got in their Way
Standing together as lovers and friends.
They stayed together their love knew no End,
Proving everyone wrong, they grew together
They were strong.
Everybody was wrong.
