    Summary

    “You wish now that our places had been exchanged. That I had died and Boromir had lived.”

    From what precious little Peregrin Took has learned of Faramir, and his gentlest of souls, the expression gracing his face is not one of hope.

    Rather, it quite seems more akin to that of a beaten dog as it cowers before its master. Head bowed and teeth gritted in expectation of a blow, but with a strange defiance in the eyes. Close enough to be confused with hatred.

    ***

    Faramir struggles with the disparity between duty, his own private wants from his father, and what his father is actually capable of providing. Pippin watches.

    Summary

    “I am a soldier of Gondor,” Boromir said, his chin tilting up in pride. “I am tempered for this.”
    But pride cannot stop a fever. While the Fellowship struggles to cross the freezing pass of Caradhras, Boromir begins to fall ill. Between dense snowdrifts and a nighttime attack by Wargs, he tries his best to hide his weakness. He is determined to remain the protector and reliable soldier that he—far more than his companions—demands himself to be.

    Summary

    After the events of the War of the Ring, the day before Aragorn is to be crowned, the fellowship is shocked to discover that Boromir has in fact survived and has returned to Minas Tirith.

    What happens next is a re-imagining of the very end of RoTK and onwards in Gondor, with a focus on Boromir and how he, along with his brother Faramir, would live out their lives under the rule of King Elessar. Initially discontent with Aragorn, Boromir claims he is "too much a Ranger, too little a King." However, as time goes on, he begins to see the true root of his grudge...
