Replete with wisdom Mal-style: "can’t put a steak down in front of a good dog and think he won’t bite." Ain't it the truth! You do have a way with the Firefly voice.

No frills, no holds barred violence of your battle scene was breathtaking. And, based on the David hints, I expected the end, but it still struck me as a bit of a surprise. It's a character piece! How did I not even realise? It's not smut; it's not a war fic. It's a piece about Boromir: who he is, how he got there, and why he does what he does. And as that, this story is truly truly excellent. Thank you for writing it.

This is an excellent piece of work. I am impressed by your knowledge of dwarf culture, and your slick way of inserting that into the prose without being too obvious about it. The comparison of Eowen to an opal, for instance, and the amusing references to Gloin and the elf-barrels. Now I'm eager to read more of your Gimli-centric fic: I really enjoy your Gimli.

..."crossroads of myth and memory"... You know, this is exactly the perfect phrase for Boromir. He's so much a character of legend and heroics, but also *real*, if you know what I mean. Not fantastical like Elrond or Galadriel or even Aragorn or the hobbits. Boromir is not only a man, he's *the* man, the epitome of man. So he's both myth (larger than life) and memory (down-to-earth nostalgia).

This style is unusual, but I really like it. It fits Boromir, the closet poet.

Ah. At the end of chapter 1, I understand the reference to David. Slick, that.

Man-high piles of ... eeeew! lol You'd think the WiKi would have more forethought, but I guess he was just too jazzed about his new ride. I can sympathise. And giggle. Excellent humour, as usual, Space.

I'm tempted to say that this is miscategorised: it reads like poetry. "Death to the day’s ending, woe to the world’s end, what is this everlasting dark you speak of?" .. .just beautiful. You've captured each character's confict, but all with a similar voice. It feels like family (albeit a very strange, tense one).
