Teen, Reason for Rating: Character death and spiritual theory
Romance Partners: N/A
As I was doing some random character study of Boromir, it sort of dawned
on me that we don't know really what happened to him. So, at the
prompting of my muse, I dusted off my copy of The Silmarillion and
looked again at the description of the afterlife in Beren and Luthien.
Compiling the tid bits of information Tolkien gives to us, I elaborated
my findings into a short story dealing with the death of Boromir and his
final journey. Several people have told me this is moving, and since it
isn't at all what I usually write, I was quite pleased with the results.
I hope you are, too!

the LJ stewards_archives Random Words challenge. The members of LJ
community stewards_archives were asked to provide three random words to

Mature, Reason for Rating: For eventual violence (beginning in chapter
three), the realities of military survival training and war as the War
of the Rings approaches. and the depiction of post traumatic stress
syndrome nightmares of a prisoner of war.
Romance Partners: N/A
Initially a one-shot, this Work-In-Progress tale was inspired by
Boromir's explanation that only he, Faramir and two other men escaped
the rout at Osgiliath and a private challenge from a friend to write a
story showing an LOTR canon character from the point of view of a silent
"spear carrier". I wondered who the other two men were and decided that
one of these men was his former squire, Daeron (my OC). This is the
story of his growing up in the years before the Ring War under the
influence of the Steward's family, particularly his hero, Lord Boromir,
and becoming a soldier of Gondor. Additionally, I thought it was time to
give at least a few of those "silent spear carriers" a voice.

Dunedain think of this young Heir of Isildur, and how does Aragorn deal
with his new status? How will he prove himself to those who doubt him,
and what surprises are in store for him? Especially when his heart is
breaking....This tale of Aragorn's young manhood is a canon-mindful AU
seeking the emotional truth of Aragorn's story: events happen in a
somewhat different way from how Tolkien described them. The story is
mainly from Aragorn's point of view, but some parts are from Halbarad's
or Gilraen's point of view. Battle scenes, mature themes.
