Lords of Gondor by Linaewen
shirebound · 30 June 2015 · Chapter 52: Reunion
In any case, a hug from you can bring only healing, not hurt What a dear thing to say. What a wonderful chapter! Merry's figured out a lot on his own, and now at least he isn't feeling so alone any longer. It can only do Boromir good to once again have the companionship of a hobbit, with their steadfast love and lighthearted speech.
Noleme · 9 June 2015 · Chapter 51: A Meeting of Allies
A new chapter, and so soon, hooray! I'm looking forward to reading about the reunion of Boromir and Merry and to learn if the Druedain still come into the story. But I have a feeling you're going to leave us in the dark for a chapter or two, and return to Minas Tirith in the next one. I have a question though: why do you keep calling Minas Tirith Mundberg instead of Mundburg that JRRT uses? My memory of Old English is very feeble, but isn't 'berg' used for mountains like the Dwimmorberg, and 'burg' for fortresses like Aldburg? I could be wrong, but I'm wondering.
Author's reply
Ah, thank you so much for calling my attention to that misspelling of Mundburg! You are right, it should be "burg." It was just me spelling it wrong to start with and then being consistent in my error. I shall go back and fix that for sure. I'm still working out how to proceed in the coming chapters, but I'm hoping the Druedain will come into it, also! :-)

His hand is gentle to me and his growling has nothing but love in it! I love that line. I can't wait for this reunion!
Larner · 7 June 2015 · Chapter 51: A Meeting of Allies
Another reunion to happen very soon! Hooray! And now Boromir knows of the return of Gandalf as well! Very, very good.
Noleme · 17 May 2015 · Chapter 50: Roads Converging
I've been following this story for over a year, and am always looking forward to a new chapter. I have to say, this is a brilliant piece; I feel as if JRRT himself were writing this. Thanks for the enjoyment I am getting out of this story.
Larner · 16 May 2015 · Chapter 50: Roads Converging
And we rejoice indeed that Boromir, the Captain-General of Gondor's forces, returns to fight at his brother's side! I look forward to the joy of the reunion.
General · 11 February 2015 · Chapter 49: Revelations
Loving this story so far, excited to see where it all goes! And the medical knowledge behind the sucking chest wound was great. Hope to see more soon.
Larner · 9 February 2015 · Chapter 49: Revelations
I am so happy for Merry, and look forward to that reunion, at least. And I'm glad Grithnir now knows that the King looks to return to Gondor. To know Boromir is determined to champion that claim is heartening.
obsidianj · 9 February 2015 · Chapter 49: Revelations
Boromir will be surprised who is riding with the Rohirrim. I can't wait to see the reunion with Merry. Interesting that Boromir confides in his lieutenant for the news who Aragorn really is.
shirebound · 9 February 2015 · Chapter 49: Revelations
Ohhhh, I can't *wait* for Boromir to be reunited with the hobbits!
obsidianj · 11 January 2015 · Chapter 48: Hope Stronger Than Despair
This chapter is all about hope renewed. Pippin and Durlin have to go on hoping on faith alone while Theoden gets some really good news. The only one who is still close to despair is Faramir, but he gets help in the form of Mithrandir.
Larner · 6 January 2015 · Chapter 48: Hope Stronger Than Despair
Ah! At least Theoden has excellent news, and knows that he will bring new hope and strength to Minas Tirith in the person of Denethor's older son! And Pippin has reason to strengthen his hope. Durlin has been good for him.
obsidianj · 4 January 2015 · Chapter 47: Battles Won and Lost
The calm before the storm. Small skirmishes before the big battle. I like it that Boromir has some time to rest before going full out to war.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 45: Harsh Words
So, news of Boromir's survival spreads. That really should put the hope back into the hearts of the Gondorians.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 44: Rekindling Hope
Oh, I love this. What a nice idea to have Pippin and Faramir have breakfast together before the day begins in earnest.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 43: Assailing Doubts
Faramir has a stout ally in Durlin. He needs this in the face of all that has happened during the day.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 42: Unexpected News
Aragorn got more than just news he needed. Finally, someone knows that Boromir lives.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 41: Memories of Boromir
I love this chapter. It brings the atmosphere of a city under siege to life.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 40: Widening Rift
That was an excellent suggestion of Eadric. Boromir riding alone through the lands beset by enemy forces was never a good idea and on foot he would not reach anyone in time. This way he will arrive in Minas Tirith for the last battle.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 39: A Chance Meeting
Ah, Boromir got reunited with his horse. Finally, it seems he gets some help. It is sorely needed.
obsidianj · 3 January 2015 · Chapter 38: What Have You Done?
That fateful discussion with Denethor. I like your take on this discussion with thoughts of all the people involved.
Larner · 4 November 2014 · Chapter 47: Battles Won and Lost
I rejoice that they have the chance of properly arming Boromir before they face the battle to come. And all shall fight more heartily knowing he fights with them!
Larner · 4 November 2014 · Chapter 46: A Proper Welcome
I am heartened to know that Boromir is home with the first of his own people, and that Celeborn and his lady are ready to play the part set for them. Both in the end shall know success, I deem.
thewildernessyears · 6 July 2014 · Chapter 10: Hill of the Eye of Númenor
I've been waiting for a good moment to stop and leave a review, and this feels like the right one. I love ending this chapter with the other half of the horn floating along the river -- backs us out from the story with a lovely, concrete image that also serves to heighten the tension and remind us that things keep moving forward, keep getting swept along. A gripping story thusfar! Well written, and well researched (as others have noted). I am eager to catch up.
Larner · 15 June 2014 · Chapter 45: Harsh Words
I can so easily imagine the joyous surprise that this news brings to those who hear it. Now--just how fast will it spread into Minas Tirith itself? And love the counsel from Gandalf to Faramir, as I have loved it every time I read it.
