So, Sauron even haunts Boromir's dreams. I'm so glad Legolas is there to help him heal. There's nothing like the sweet sound of an elf singing to sooth the soul.



Author Reply: We need more Elvish singing in the world, don't we? Thanks for reading and reviewing, Tari!

To be haunted by such a feeling of failure....

Well written.

Author Reply: Sorry it took me so long to say thanks for reading, Larner! It is definitely hard to shake the haunting that such failure brings, and being weakened by injury doesn't help any. I suspect Boromir is not used to feeling this way -- I think he's the kind of guy who is usually able to talk himself out of bad moods!

Again, thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. :-)

Oh my! What a heart-breaking chapter....

Very difficult for Boromir to accept what he had done - reminds me a bit of Macbeth - though the circumstances were vastly different. But the 'blood' of guilt can be overwhelming.

Love how you 'took care' of the Horn - so that's how poor Denethor gets it - and broken in two also. Great job.

Needless to say, I love Legolas here - compassionate and strong. Just what the Man of Gondor needs....

And poor Pip............

Author Reply: It's a pretty dark time for Boromir right now, and I fear he would have been quite lost in all ways if Legolas had not turned up. Compassionate and strong is definitely what Boromir needs right now.

Sorry it took me so long to say thanks for reading and reviewing!

Good work on the details of Boromir's thoughts and reactions to his injuries, and on Aragorn's healing work - it reads very real.

Legolas will make a very effective bodyguard and nursemaid for the wounded warrior, I think. Good chapter, and the AU plotline continues to intrigue.

This story just keeps getting better and better!

I suspect this was a very wise decision. Good for them! And if any of them can catch up once help comes for Boromir, it would be Legolas. Good interweaving of the original concerns by Aragorn.

I was just reading that chapter of TTT - and remarked at how difficult the parting was. I love the fact that Boromir is thought of as as important and the Hobbits.... Very often, we forget the fact that each of the Fellowship is as important as the other... though Frodo's mission, of course, was the underlying factor.

Yet - it did my heart good to see the love and respect for Boromir - and his obvious delight at finding help and companionship for the nonce.

Great chapter - looking forward to more!!!

Even while in severe pain, Boromir’s thoughts are only for the safety of the Hobbits. What a big heart he truly has.

Crying out, or fainting from pain is not a sign of weakness; rather it is a sign of his humanity. I just know Aragorn will succeed in saving him.

I really think that this is a wonderful story so far. I can't wait for the next chapter.
