Boromir Lives AU: Panic! At the Ballroom

Got some new soup for you.

CW! PTSD, panic attack, crowds, physical violence, blood, smoking

It's, uh, less cute soup than some of the others.

The last panel is a nod to when I was having regular panic attacks a few years ago, and the only thing that helped was lying on the floor, the colder and harder the better. At night I would lie in bed and feel like I was drowning in the blankets, until finally I'd move to the bare floor, sometimes with weight on my back, until I eventually fell asleep.

Anyway! Surprisingly this actually came from a very happy and lovely fic in which Boromir has a delightful time; in writing a crowd scene, though, I figured having spent 40+ years training to die in battle, he'd never shake the PTSD. It's okay, Aragorn can spot it coming a mile away. Hard to prep for a crushed windpipe delivered by 250 pounds of war trauma, though. Happy Thursday!

“Do you know to whom your uniform originally belonged?” Pippin looked up and saw Boromir stare at him, eyes red rimmed and disturbingly vacant. He wanted to reply, wanted to tell Boromir of his talk with his brother just before Faramir left for that doomed mission but his voice failed him. So he only nodded then quickly averted his gaze, staring at his feet again.

“I remember the day it was given to him.” Boromir went on, voice tight and yet wistful. “He was so proud. Though it was much too big for him then. I badly wanted to tease him that it was more of a lady’s ballgown than a knight’s armour, but I didn’t dare. For weeks he made me join in in reenacting every single story about knights in that darn book he had. Obviously Faramir always was the knight, I had a hell of a time figuring out how to be dragon, troll, Necromancer, Nazgûl, fell beast, wolf and evil stepmother, but was well worth it.”

Pippin smiled hearing that. The image of Boromir as evil stepmother and Faramir as gallant knight precious and at every other time he’d laughed out loud and would have hurried to share the story with Merry and preferably Aragorn. But not right now.

He heard Boromir draw a shuddering breath and stifle a sob. He wanted to offer the man some comfort but wasn’t sure if it’d be welcome. Still, he placed a hand on the soldier’s arm, a sign of silent support.

If he did notice it, Boromir didn’t show. Instead he continued woodenly “then father found out about our games. He was disappointed. Told Faramir off for dishonouring the uniform of Gondor. That it was not a toy to be trifled with but a tool to be used to prepare him for his service for his country. He was just eight. He was just eight, Pippin! A scrawny, funny, curious little eight year old boy who liked books, ducks, cinnamon rolls and hide and seek. He was just eight and told to be a soldier, and now, and now” Boromir’s voice broke in a howl and he buried his face in his hands, finally giving in to the grief he’d tried to push down for so long. Giving in to his own guilt, the pain of his father’s end, the worry about his people and the despair when the old Master healer told him there was nothing he could do for Faramir, except wait and pray his end would be peaceful. Even Ioreth had been silent with horror which struck Boromir as terribly poignant. Now he just couldn’t stand it anymore.

Awkwardly Pippin started stroking the man’s shoulder feeling the sobs wrecking him and started crying silently himself.

Both were so wrapped in their grief it was not till they felt a gentle hand on each of their shoulders’ that they noticed they were not alone anymore.

And ere they had a chance to look up a calm and well known voice said “Don’t despair, I promise I will do all I can to help!”

And Pippin made the decision to hope and firmly grasped Boromir’s hand as both followed Aragorn back into Faramir’s sickroom.

And here is the fic—Second Time Around—I wrote to accompany it!

Second Time Around

Summary: For Brynne, Minas Tirith is the last place she wishes to be, as every corner holds bittersweet memories of the love of her life, the Captain of the White Guard, Boromir. Determined to keep her distance from him, she nonetheless cannot stop thinking about him, and those very memories torment her on ever level.

But when he asks for a second chance with her… old feelings are rekindled and passion proves too much to ignore, leaving Brynne has to decide if the pleasure they share is worth risking her heart once more.

He watched her. Brynne refused to look up and give him the satisfaction of knowing she knew he watched her, but he did. Just as he had for the last four days she’d been in Minas Tirith, buried in the subterranean archives that housed the city—and Gondor’s—history. His expression remained the same—sober and unsmiling, but she didn't think he was exactly unhappy that she was there. Then again, she had the King’s blessing and since the King outranked the Captain of the White Tower, whether or not Boromir was happy did not exactly matter. Of course, that didn't mean his gaze didn't make her uncomfortable or uneasy. Because it did. Well, it made her uncomfortable more than anything else. Not uneasy, because she didn't feel as if she was in any danger. No, she just felt that if a ceiling beam dropped onto her, he wouldn’t be all that unhappy about it.  She tried to put it from her mind as she pored over the somewhat-ragged, very dusty ledge she’d found and picked up her quill to make a note in her own journal.  Boots sounded against stone and as a shadow fell over her, a low voice broke the silence. “How much longer do you need?” She set down her pen and looked up. “I have no way of knowing that. Does my presence here trouble you? And if so, why? I need no babysitter, you know. I’m perfectly capable of asking the archivist for help, should I require it.” His eyes—those beautiful green eyes—narrowed slightly. “I’m still not entirely certainly why you’re here. And I think you know exactly why your presence here would trouble me.”

Dear Besties and Fellow "Boromir Lives" Truthers:

I'm not sure how many of you have discussed this in any of your ongoing fanworks, but what kind of future did you craft for Boromir post-War of the Ring?

Did he become Steward of Gondor, or did that still fall to Faramir? Did he retire from political life? Was he given a Princehood, like his brother?

Any and all ideas and takes would be appreciated! If I choose to borrow any headcanons/ ideas, I will surely ask permission first! 😉

"Suddenly Boromir’s breath caught, reminding him of his aching chest. Relief, pride, affection overwhelmed him. They had won! Pippin lay sleeping curled about Boromir’s horn, his chin resting on its rim, its curved end about his waist, and his arm tucked over it." ['Rapid Peril' by Carolyn Golledge. 2008]

So far my biggest regret in my Celebrimbor Joins the Fellowship AU is that due to the disposition and dispersal of the Fellowship that I've chosen, Boromir is not here to enjoy the Mirkwood Feast I'm working on right now, and that is a crying shame because Boromir is the best "just a normal guy" character in all of Middle-earth, and I bet his perspective on these insane Wood-elves would be incredible.

Gonna have to write, like, a Boromir Lives Canon AU where they all go to visit Mirkwood with Legolas after the war or something someday, so I can write his reaction to all this shit too I guess huh.

This started as a sketch and then I started painting on it halfway through, and then I merged a few layers I didn't mean to merge, and then it spiraled off the rails from there, stylistically. The color balance is burning my eyeballs and the levels are doing who even knows, but I took a leaf out of @nihilizzzm's book and added decorative stars and dots and it did, indeed, make it better.

ANYWAY, if lotr wiki is to be believed (referenced from Unfinished Tales, maybe?) the flag of the office of the Stewards is pure white with no device, and their symbol is a white rod and three white stars. I've been meaning to play around with this imagery (because I'm trash for symbolism), so I sketched up a concept of Boromir's formal uniform for Aragorn's coronation. I like the idea of Aragorn in dark blue, black, and silver and Boromir in white, silver, and gold.

Hey guys, I've been thinking about an AraBoro AU where Aragorn is like Dr. Frankenstein and Boromir is the Creature. I mean, we all know that Aragorn is a healer, so he might know how to perform basic operations as well, so he tries to perform an operation on Boromir and something goes wrong, but he's just desperate because of his death.

I like thinking of such medical Aus in general, where Aragorn is a medic and he tries to save Boromir from certain death (either he does save him or he fails and lets him die or creates a dangerous creature).

Eowyn: So… your brother is your best man.

Faramir: Yes.

Eowyn: And he is organising your bachelor party.

Faramir: Again yes.

Eowyn: You are aware that his plans for your bachelor party look far more elaborate than the plans for our wedding? And it is kinda a royal wedding with a lot of fuss .

Faramir: Sadly yes.

Eowyn: Are you scared?

Faramir: Never been more terrified in my life.

Eowyn: You spent almost 20 years in combat!

Faramir: Hey, there at least was hope of an honourable death!

He’d asked Aragorn the same when he married Arwen. “Twice I have been informed that any man who says he is ready is lying to himself,” he teased.

Summary: For Boromir and Kaia, life with a new baby leaves precious little time for themselves.

Kaia breathed a sigh of relief when with a gentle, airy sigh, Nora finally drifted off to sleep. She’d walked the floor for what seemed like hours with her six-week old daughter fighting her nap every step of the way. But now, the baby slept peacefully in the same cradle in which her father once slept, oblivious to everything around her. She looked over at the nursemaid. “Where is Boromir?” “He said he was going for a ride, my lady.” “Did he say where?” The nursemaid shook her head. “I’m afraid not. Do you need me to have someone fetch him?”

Chapter One: AWAKEN

Summary:

The sky was aglow, deepest crimson washing over the land and undimmed by the bruise-purple clouds that clutched at the edges of the horizon.

The sands shifted beneath him, deep and perfect as only a desert that has consumed everything within it can be.

A staff of inscribed steel stood proud where it was stabbed into the sand, radiating heat against the side of his neck.

Somehow, he knew in his bones that there was nothing out there but him, the staff, and the golden desert.

He was alive, bare, and unwounded despite the blood he could feel stuck to his flesh.

This was not death.

This was… something new.

Read Dandelions last night and i was wondering, is this going to be linked to the Boromir/OC fic you're working on? And if so does that mean Ioreth is going to show up? Because the idea of getting to hear her take on this is hilarious to me XD

I am so happy that Dandelions resonated so well with you! I wrote that one on a whim, just to give readers a nice imagine of what it's like to receive not just flowers, but flowers from someone like Boromir! Only THIS GUY can arrive with a handful of weeds and still make you swoon.

As for the fic's mention of Ioreth (Reader is Ioreth's apprentice), unfortunately Dandelions is one of my fics that is an absolute stand-alone one-shot reader insert, so there would be no exploration of Ioreth that way.

My planned Boromir long fic is going to spin off from my other one-shot, "Breathe", and the Reader love interest in that one is a humble market vendor (among other things). I look forward to sharing more about her as she develops into an OC very soon!

I'm also a fan of Ioreth's character (she reminds me of some of my favorite high school teachers, haha!), so I surely can find some excuse for her to participate/meddle in Boromir's love life!
