Very good story with fine craftmanship and characterizaton, save for Pippin saying he was afraid of Boromir. (The books tell us Pippin liked Boromir from the first, admiring him for his kindly and lordly manner) It's good to see Boromir remembered for his true nature. Thanks for a lovely story.

Author Reply: Sorry for getting back to you so late - I've been out of pocket for a while. Thanks very much for your kind review. I had totally missed that statement from Pippin - oops! Guess this will have to be AU.

Wonderful! I like the idea that Boromir taught Pippin a song of another winter! Then Pippin singing it in front of those whom it would have concerned the closest! Thank you for the tale!

Author Reply: Thanks for the feedback -- Pippin's never at a loss for chutzpah, is he? :)

Excellent! and touching. I came to this story looking for Boromir, and found him, but so much more. Terrific characterizations of Gimli, Merry and particularly Pippin, and your poem/song brought a tear to my eye, both for its mix of external, large, threatening but natural imagery and each stanza's bittersweet invocation.

Really wonderful.

Author Reply: Thank you for the very kind review, Nancy. I'm especially pleased that you though the poem worked -- it was such a dark thing to show up in what was essentially a Christmas fic, but it seemed to belong.

This is a beautiful little story. It's good to see that Boromir is still remembered.

Author Reply: Thanks, Soledad. I'm happy you enjoyed it!
