Title: A Light in the Dark
Author: P.R. Zed
Characters/Pairing: Aragorn/Boromir
Rating: G
Disclaimer: The characters belong to the Professor; the idea is mine
Notes: For the tolkien_weekly "black" challenge.


His sleep is restless.

Oft times he will take a watch not his own rather than wait for the ungentle dreams that stalk him in the dark.

He tells me that it was night that brought the enemy, the hordes of Orc intent on destroying his city, his people; he tells me that moonless nights were worst, when inky blackness would discharge the hosts of Mordor.

I would banish the darkness that haunts his eyes as he remembers each battle lost, each comrade fallen. But I can only offer him myself, and hope a Ranger's touch will light his way.

Ooh.. I loved that. Poor Boromir the black nights are hard on him. Like how he turns to Aragorn for help and comfort.

Oh, beautiful...Boromir's sadness and Aragorn's longing to take it from him is so present, lovely, lovely drabble, *hugs*

Oh, absolutely lovely. It's good to know that our poor Boromir finds at least some comfort and refuge from the black of night with his Aragorn.

Lovely... poor Boromir with his nightmares, and Aragorn is the perfect cure. I love the idea of Aragorn's touch as Boromir's light in the dark... gorgeous!

Merci. I'm just drawn to Boromir's sadness, but it's nice when Aragorn gets to comfort him.

[przed.livejournal.com]

I had to let the poor lad find some comfort. (I tried to write this challenge happier, but they just wouldn't let me.)

We both seem to like showing the two of them together during the night, don't we?

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Boromir just has so much angst to work with.
