winter: (Tori Amos and a Delta Goodrem quote)
Fandom: LOTR/Silmarillion
Genre: Gen, atmospheric
Rating: PG, tops.
Characters: Faramir, Boromir, Maglor

Disclaimer: Everything belongs (in some cases verbatim) to JRR Tolkien and partly Christopher Tolkien. This particular take on Faramir and Boromir is based partly on the movies - I find the idea that "Gondor needs no king" fascinating, much more so than book-Boromir's blind acceptance of Aragorn's claim. Maglor would like to add that he dictated the songs to me in proper Westron, but I suck as far as poetic translation is concerned.

For full enjoyment of this story, you should probably read the Silmarillion (and especially Chapter 9: Of the flight of the Noldor and Chapter 19: Of Luthien and Beren), but I have done my best to make it accessible to someone who has but read LOTR (and even only seen the movie).

Or, why it's not a good idea to go looking for pronouncements of the future if you're the heir to an old kingdom that happens to be Mordor's direct neighbour )
