Clean, elegant writing of a beautiful evocative piece. Kind've heartbreaking. I have always favored the guardians...the Haldirs, the Eomers, the Boromirs. so "Faces" is like a gift to me. Professor T gave us Boromir the tragic hero. You give us Boromir the human. Thank you. This is Mithril stuff.

A captivating piece that gives a different view of Boromir. Very Happy smiley face

A lovely piece, evocative of both the past and the present, along with a unique perspective on the relationship between Boromir and the littler hobbits.

Love it. It is so well written. The phraseology is great. It gives Boromir a human aspect that the movie lacked. My only criticism is the second paragraph. You move into a scene from the past, but use the present tense. I believe it should have shifted into the past tense. Other than that, no problems from me. I am off to see if you have anything else posted here. And make some popcorn. I will even pour you a glass of Buttershots.
Thank you.

*The snow that settles on his features is reluctant to melt. * This is one of the best descriptions of an elf that I’ve ever read (and I’ve read plenty). How appropriate for Boromir’s point of view, too. The brief description of Frodo was right-on too. But it’s the presage of Boromir’s relationship with Merry and Pippin that makes this piece powerful. This peek into Boromir’s mind explains why he is so protective of the hobbits, enough to die for them. Lovely work.
