| Very nice and very telling. I was surprised that he didn't se the sword or make mention of it. It satisfies my sense of closure on this issue as Boromir is too good a warrior to miss such an action by Aragorn. |

| Wonderful piece; lyric and engaging and nicely covers the non-reaction of Boromir to that rather threatening move of Aragorn! Well Done! |

So far behind on my reading and on my reviews, it's not funny. Dear Shadow, thanks for accepting my invite. I'm so glad to see this piece of work here - and what a fine piece it is. Wonderful insight into Boromir's thoughts. Incisive and sharp. I like very mucho. Looking forward to see the rest of them stories. Fellow members, you should beg her. She has more gems hidden where this one came from.  I know. |

I think that there are many, much too many missing momments in the movie, and also in the books.
You caught a very significant instant and wrote the feelings and thoughts behind the tortured look of Boromir. Noble man, looking for salvation for his people, he never hesitated.
Thank you, great work!
P.S. May I beg for more gems? |

| Excellent, Shadow! Ah, Boromir as I like to see him and how he was. You write him so magnificently and it's impossible to not be moved by his thoughts and inner desires. *sniff* Pride is often used to describe the man, but despair is just as apt and more illustrative of his motives. |

So unlike the cartoon Boromir of the movie. I hated him from the first time I saw him. What a mess Gondor would be in if he survived to inherit the Stewardship. This piece gives him strength and character. Shows him a man who thinks of his people. One who strives to save his city, but not at any cost. I could really like this Boromir. Thank you. Very well written. I look forward to looking up some of your other stories.   |

| It's rare that a vignette completely and totally describes the moment. This is as close to perfect as it gets. |
