Came across this Imagine on imaginexhobbit; "Imagine being Bard's Queen and after a tiring affair of state he sings 'For the Dancing and the Dreaming' to cheer you up, complete with dancing". Soon my brain started working and this was born. The dance above with Stoick and Valka is what you and Bard do.  Enjoy my lovelies and I do NOT own the song or the imagine I just wanted to write what I think the imagine would be like. Enjoy :)

____________________________

After a long and tiring day of helping the people of Dale I wanted nothing more than to just flop on my bed and sleep until the end of time. Ever since the dragon Smaug destroyed our home of Laketown, my husband Bard led the survivors to the abandoned ruined city of Dale where we took refuge and held the Battle of the Five Armies coming out victorious but at great costs. Men, women, children, Elves, and the three heirs of Durin lost their lives and while we did mourn, Bard had rallied the remaining people to help rebuild Dale, within one year we now stand once again as the center trade to the kingdom of Erebor. 

 With me and Bard the King and Queen of the city of Dale. 

 Which leads me to my current problem now. 

 Helping a very tiring affair of the state I had been driven physically as well as emotionally drained of my energy. I had no spirit in me nor did I have a perk in my step like I usually do. And my clever husband took notice of it. So that night as I was tucking in Tilda and kissing her goodnight, I walked towards mine and Bard's bedroom to prepare myself for bed. As I was filling up a large vase with water to wash my face with, I soon heard a very familiar tune being whistled by my husband. I froze in shock as I heard him whistling our song as he walked up behind me. I felt Bard take away the vase and set it down away from me. 

 "Remember our song my love?" It was then he began to sing. 

 His singing was always so beautiful and soothing, it was like a gentle caress the wave makes against the shore line. Whenever he sang to me or the kids, I always feel my heart fluttering like a wild moth to the flame and my knees get weak. He gently caressed my cheeks to gently turn my head towards him before taking my hand in his and placing it near his chest to allow me to feel his heartbeat.

*Bard*

I'll swim and sail on savage seas

With ne'er a fear of drowning

And gladly ride the waves of life

If you would marry me

No scorching sun nor freezing cold

Will stop me on my journey

If you will promise me your heart 

And love...... 

 I remained silent for a bit and didn't look at him not once. He took a deep sigh before I finally sang in a gentle whisper like the wind. As my voice grew more confident I walked a ways from him before lifting my arm out with my hand clenched into a fist in an L formation. He then did the same with his opposing hand as we both twirled around each other grinning and laughing softly.

*Me*

And love me for eternity

My dearest one, my darling dear

Your mighty words astound me

But I've no need for mighty deeds

When I feel your arms around me 

 As Bard went on with the song, we both began to dance around each other just like we've always done when we sang this song at our wedding.

*Bard*

But I would bring you rings of gold

I'd even sing you poetry 

And I would keep you from all harm

If you would stay beside me

*Me*

I'll have no use for rings of gold

Nor care about your poetry

I only want your hand to hold

*Bard*

I only want you near me

*Both*

To love and kiss to sweetly hold

For the dancing and the dreaming

Through all life's sorrows

And delights 

I'll keep your love inside me

I'll swim and sail on savage seas

With ne'er a fear of drowning

And gladly ride the waves of life

If you will marry me! 

 At the end of our song, Bard picked me up by my waist and gently picked me up softly spinning me. Soon the two of us began laughing softly as Bard gently put me back down. 

 "I'd thought I'd have to die before seeing that beautiful smile before the day's end". 

 "Oh no need for drastic measures" I teased while still softly giggling. Bard smiled at me softly and said as he took both my hands in his and gently kissed my fingers. 

 "For you my darling, anything". I smiled softly and leaned up to capture his lips with mine. I felt one of his hands gently cup my face while his other wrapped around my waist. 

 Suddenly I felt him gently dip me making me shriek softly and giggle once again. 

 He looked down at me with that mischievous gleam in his eyes and a teasing quirk in his eyebrow before lifting me right side up once again and resumed our gentle kiss. 

 We then tucked ourselves into our bed and I cuddled close to him as he wrapped his arms around me. 

"You always know how to make me feel better Bard, how did I ever get so lucky?" 

 "I should be asking that to you my love, you've made me feel more alive than any other man in the world. I love you so much my Queen (y/n) of Dale". 

 "And I love you too, my King Bard of Dale". With a final kiss goodnight, Bard and I blew the candles out leaving us in the dark of night but tangled up with the light of our Love.
