Summary
"I heard the monster was some kind of frog that cries a lot. Someone told me he'd fed it."
"Fed it?"
"Yes, he said the Ringbearer brought it back with him, and now it's staying in a guest house and it eats raw meat, and it stays in the dark all the time and screams if you open a window to let in the sunlight, and if you bring it water to splash in it'll tell you a riddle. I am certain he invented all of it. He thinks he's quite special now he's an errand boy in the palace. But, as we were telling absurd tales..."
Gollum stepped out into the street behind them. "There was no monster," he said shrilly, "no! No, no- don't talk about things you know nothing about- it is silly! Foolish!"
"I'm sorry?" one of the teens said, turning to blink at him, and another said: "Who are you?"
Gollum had no answer. How could he answer? What would he say? He squirmed, and said gollum in his throat, and turned on his heel to scurry away.
---
There was a third hobbit on Mt. Doom that day. But no one likes to talk about that, now do they, precious?(AU. Gollum made a different choice at Cirith Ungol. And, awkwardly enough, he's not dead, somehow, so, uh, now what?)

Summary
This is how the son of Gondor returns home.
Faramir stands first, moves, though the gap between them is still large. No one else moves.
“Are you real?” he asks.
Boromir can only shrug. He is not dead, nor is he a ghost, nor is he whole. He is, simply, here.Bookmarked by mserm

Summary
“I forgive you,” Boromir says, just as grave as the captain before him, accepting his demotion to knighthood with far more grace than most would afford a too-bold babe. “An’ I dub you Sir ‘Rongil, so you must help protect nana. ‘Cos you’ve a real sword an’ can cut down real foes, until I have one, too, and can protect her better.”
So saying, he drives the point of the sword into the ground, and turns to face Finduilas, legs trembling a little with the effort to hold himself back from bouncing.
“No fear. No harm. Not while we’re here. So swear I.”
“So swear I,” Thorongil intones, after the fashion of the knights of old. Boromir turns back to him, taking both his hands to wrap them about the hilt of the toy sword, and for one selfish moment Finduilas is glad her son no longer faces her, that he might not see the tears spilling from her eyes.

Summary
Boromir has been trained in stewardship of a city at war. He knows how to set guard shifts, how to break through enemy lines, the weak points of a warg. From here to Rivendell, he knows his land, even the crumbling walls of Osgiliath.
He does not know what flowers are in season, what sweetmeats and breads are acceptable, which wings to open for the elves and the dwarves. He does not know what to do about the fact that he’s offered to teach Aragorn to dance.Bookmarked by mserm

Summary
For all that your father loves you better, loves you best, looks to you as the example of perfection, you are a flawed man. Your gaze wanders; your eyes follow the movements of your fellow soldiers in ways that will never beget the heirs he wants from you, greedy in a quiet, slow way that still, even now, catches you by surprise.
You wish the best for Faramir. You wish the world for Faramir. You wish everything and a beautiful woman and a beautiful son for Faramir. You know you cannot supply your own.
What greater danger is there than close company and fellowship in the pits of war?

Summary
The smoke ring Aragorn blew at Boromir would be the closest thing that Boromir would ever get to a kiss from Aragorn. Taking a puff from his pipe is the closest Boromir would ever get to knowing the taste of Aragorn's mouth.
