| This is sad! Now I need to read your new Boromance to feel better. Of course I was going to read it in any case, seeing as I'm the one who badgered you to write one. ;) Author Reply: I hope you enjoy "Hearts and Flowers". | |

| He had to be dead. And they avoided saying 'eaten' quite carefully. I liked the connection Boromir spotted between Faramir and Aragorn - they are a pair who are quite well suited to each other, I think. And Boromir is lovely here - taking treats back to the hobbits. Aragorn is right, though - they hobbits won't care two hoots about their condition. They will fall on them so fast they won't even notice. Two anonymous rangers. One in his underclothes. What a vision. Author Reply: Well, both were mindful of the other man's relative innocence in regards to orcs and such, and probably saw no need to offer graphic detail. Yes, the hobbits, and no doubt Gimli and Gandalf as well, will certainly enjoy every last crumb. :) What a vision indeed! Especially if you close your eyes and add the absent Faramir to the mix! | |

| Aw, it's sad that the sister's husband was killed by the Orcs, yet it's more realistic than having him found alive and well by our two. A shame, but of course it is just the beginning of the more serious and increasing incursions of Orcs that will grow ever worse until Frodo achieves the Quest. I really love the way you show Boromir and Aragorn growing in friendship, yet acknowledging that their differences have not completely gone away. Author Reply: Yes, exactly my thinking in regards to the unfortunate hunter's fate. I think that had Boromir survived, he and Aragorn would have become good friends, the seeds of which were probably sown during their journey to Amon Hen. Both are strong leaders of men and would not have had their opinions easily swayed by the other, and they may have argued more often than not ( and likely shared an ale or two afterwards to 'calm the waters', so to speak!), but they certainly would have respected each other's differences. | |

| This is so sad that the father has been killed and a foreshadowing of Boromir's fate.I like the growing friendship between the two men. Author Reply: Not all endings are happy, unfortunately but I like to think that the two had a few lighter moments amidst the darkness of the times. | |

| I have really enjoyed this story and the interaction between Aragorn and Boromir. It is very well done. While Aragorn is my favorite character and there are many wonderful stories about him, I am so glad to see a well-written Boromir story. I have always liked him and enjoy reading a story that shows the friendship between the two of them. Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words. I find it both interesting and challenging to explore characters and relationships that are less commonly written about. The development of a friensdship based on the men Aragorn and Boromir are rather than on their roles in life being one of them. | |
