It was a sacrifice. Flick these are marvelous. Lindorien

Author Reply: It was a sacrifice.

This grew out of conversations at HA about whether Galadriel actually 'tempted' Boromir when she entered his mind -- whether the whole thing was a set up. Even if it didn't go quite that far, I've sometimes thought that both Galadriel and Gandalf knew/should have know what was going to happen. The fact the Gandalf saw exactly what was going on at the Council, knew the whole family dynamic of Denethor's family, and still didn't say boo against Boromir going on the quest is suspicious. So I Boromir both *was* a sacrifice to the greater plan (passively) in addition to heroically sacrificing himself for M and P at the end.

Thanks for your feedback on my bits!
