| Oh gosh - I can imagine Boromir thinking he might end up all alone and unable to leave... Author Reply: Not a happy thought. First ge is sundered from his brother, then the Fellowship, and now this. What putrpise would he have in life if left alone? Thanks for commenting and worrying for Boromir. He appreciates it. :) | |

| These two are very good friends for Boromir. I do hope our noble soldier will find peace, and joy within his newly-given life. Author Reply: Music can make best friends. I'm glad I found Gannellas. Boromir needed a friend right about now! Mablung won't be with us long, but his friendship is important, too. Thank you for commenting. Looking forward to more of your tales. | |

| Somewhat bittersweet here. I hope the Elves find a way to bring Faramir there to see his brother and "his" Elf. Author Reply: I started writing this as a happy tale. Needless to say, anything to do with Middle-earth has it's bittersweet moments. I expect Boromir to be happy again. Gazillion thanks for the comments. Most appreciated. | |

| Way to go Boromir!! that's the spirit. Thanks Agape for the lovely chapter. Author Reply: His fortitude, built up over the years of battle, held him well. No time for a pity-party! So very glad you liked the chapter. So very grateful you commented. | |

| Faramir. Would that you were here. That you could see your Elf again. That we might listen to his harp and remember our mother together. What a treasured experience that would be! I'm glad Boromir remembers the hobbits fondly, and has such hope for Frodo's survival. Author Reply: Though spending his strength on his healing, I doubt very much of the Fellowship were not constantly in his thoughts. There were few treasured experiences for the Brothers 'Mir. It would seem to me that most would center around their mother. Bless you for commenting. I appreciate it very much. | |

| This story is such an intriguing idea! I love the visual images you're conjuring. Poor Boromir - I don't know what would be harder; to live but never again be whole among other humans, or to die and go beyond the circles of the world. Author Reply: I can't believe that his struggles won't worsen. How can the Captain-general of Gondor sit with a bunch of Elves as they sing and play? I think I've given the poor Man an insurmountable dilemma. Thanks ever so much for commenting! | |

| Wow, what a beautiful chapter!! Daffodils, another favorite -- cardinals serenading Boromir! And Vana of the birds and flowers, wife of the Hunter sending Boromir greetings, wow. Boromir's sorrow at not honoring the Valar more and worrying that they might not love him is so touching, and Gannellas' consolation for him is even more so. I can believe Boromir would be overcome by all this, and then to actually experience the destruction of the Ring is overpowering. I hope he can retain the joy he is feeling so strongly here when he is healed and grows stubborn again at not being able to leave, in spite of his resolve to be strong against that. I sense that Gannellas will be a good friend who will help him in this! I'm glad to see this is an ongoing tale and that there is more to come! \o/ Author Reply: Probably only four to six chapters on this one. But it will be enough, I hope, for the birthday girl. Everything you said in your comments rang true to me. I'm so glad you liked Vana and Orome and such. It seemed only right that Orome would look upon Boromir with some respect and amusement. As for the Ring - Wow. He was almost a Ringbearer. It spoke to him, it seems to me, more powerfully and more hypnotically, than to any others in the Fellowship. It touched him. *shudders* VERY glad you're enjoying this. | |

| This is an awesome tale and a brilliant birthday story, as well! My favorite things are here in one story -- a living Boromir and cardinals! I love the clever way you have figured out to keep him alive, and I'm excited that Faramir knows of this place and will be able to come to him. It's so touching to see Boromir really concerned for everyone of his friends and his family (especially Frodo) and hardly thinks of himself, even though he's in a very strange situation. This Elf who is caring for him is wonderful. Author Reply: I'm so very glad you like this. I think you'll be very happy by the time this is completed. Happy birthday. I hope the cardinals sang all day long! | |

| I am rather glad that Boromir regrets not succeeding his father. At least they know when the Ring is destroyed--yes, I suspect that was felt pretty much everywhere! Author Reply: Yup - my thoughts exactly, Larner, on the repercussions of the Ring's demise. As for Boromir - it seems unfathomable that Boromir would spent some forty odd years preparing for the Stewardship and not missing it. Not having a wee sense of loss. Though his love for Faramir would overshadow even that loss. Bless you for commenting. I really appreciate it. Can't wait for more of 'your' chapters. | |
