Aha! I was wondering if anyone was going to see them “together,” and apparently someone has. *evil grin* If Boromir & Alusta (oops, I mean Alura) can’t control themselves – which they obviously CAN’T (but can you really blame Alura? It is, after all Boromir we’re talking about) – they may very well be caught by Faramir or Eowyn, or both! Oh, wouldn’t that have fur (and body parts) flying? And just what is our lord Steward up to, anyway? No, I don’t trust him, and neither should you!
Oh, and for the record I do not, nor have I ever thought that Boromir was gay. I just wanted to make sure YOU, Elven m’dear, were clear on his orientation. *grins*

IslaSorna - Ooooh, nothing is more scary than a Tolkien freak running through trying to make themselves look Smart and Perfect by bannering their knowledge of Tolkien lore. Excuse me...my real life prevents me from learning that Hobbit's feet NEVER have more than 22 hairs on the tops. *rolls eyes* My next story is going to be about Frodo raping everyone in Middle-Earth, including Bob, Jamal, Hoshi and Severus Snape (who will appear as if he's always been there.) And there will be a Mary Sue who is perfect, a goddess and every fucking man on Middle-Earth will want to have her. Including Mandos. Thank you. Have a nice day.
*PMS rant over. My apologies to all*

Oh, and my rant wasn't directed at those Tolkien loreists with sense enough to realise that a nice tone will usually get someone's attention better than acting like a stupid jerk. When you're nice you look ten times more intelligent. ;)

I seem to have conditioned you to my very word, lol! *throwing Elven a VERY SMUG look!*
Glad to see you are back in the ring so to speak and delighting us with a new chapter. And oh how I love the amount of "Freya-Doooooooooooom" *waves at Freya* that is hovering over the entire scene. *g* I have a feeling Denethor has more then a little part to play in all of this and I am wondering what Eomer's role might be. The fact he vanished for some time and then sat at the table with shaking fingers... mmmh... mmmmh indeed... As mentioned before I love how you "set the board" (to use that phrase again) and now we can look forward to see the pieces moving. It is wonderful to see things from Alura's eyes as we are just as clueless as she is about what is really going on in that city. Great work, keep it up, girl! :)
Oh and did I mention I love Boromir? *grins* Poor chap so obviously falling for the "wrong" girl, that is in fact so "right" for him... Don't worry, Bormir, if she doesn't take you, Freya, Beth and I will gladly take you, won't we, girls?!

The plot thickens...mwahahaha. I'm loving it. Wish I could give more constructive criticism. I went to the original URL for AFF and it said it was down and I went nuts until I tried the old url! Oops.

*glares at Freya*
A gay Boromir? Are you out of your mind? Mr "Stormy Eyes" belongs to you and me (oh, and Elven - maybe *g*) and I for my part have no intention to share him with any Gondorian or Rohan male hanging around. :D
Aaaah, great chapter! Your story really has a wonderful flow and I loved how you build up the tension between Bormir and Alura until the first kiss and the events that followed. Very sensual. I also like your attention to little details. Things like the fact that Bormir's kiss tasted of berries and a touch of red wine. :) I think it is always important and enriches the story to include all human senses.
I will tell you what I told Frosty as well: On of the ways for me to judge a story is to see whether it is unpredictable, whether it surprises me or not. While it was of course obvious that Alura would eventually be drawn to Boromir besides the bantering and Eowyn to Faramir, I still have no clue where this story is going which of course leaves me with the anticipation to find out. In other words: It IS a good story! :) I hope you make this a lovely long read for us all to enjoy. We already coaxed Frosty into writing her longest story to date. I am sure we can do the same with you, lol! I think your record is 16 chapters or something, isn't it?
Anyway, wonderful work as always, keep it up, keep it coming! ;)

Believe me, Elven, whether he’s the sober, duty-driven, tragic hero, or the kid brother, I ALWAYS find Boromir vastly … entertaining. *wiggles eyebrows* Of course, with Faramir’s way of thinking “‘My advise is to lay back, close your eyes and beg for more.’” I may need to add him to my list of … entertainers. The wedding night banter between the brothers was priceless!
And speaking of Faramir’s “entertainer” value increasing, he does know how to show a girl a good time, if one can control his wandering hands, etc. *lol*
Now, as for Boromir’s apparent reticence with Eowyn, PLEASE tell me you’re not going to take the Professor’s remark about Boromir “taking no wife and delighting chiefly in arms” to mean he was gay. Please? I’d still keep reading, but I’d be pouting the entire time. *grins*
“She set it in her plans to have a word with him if she ran across him. A subtle word, for Éowyn’s sake.” *snort* I’ll believe THAT when I read it!
One question, though, just what color IS Alura’s hair? In one instance you refer to her raven hair, which I assume means black, and then Faramir is admiring the soft chestnut color, which I’ve always thought of as brown. Of course, she could always be a chameleon. *ducks and grins*

OK, you totally cracked me up twice in this chapter:
1. "Boromir is a good man." - "Boromir is an ass."
2. "Boromir's private journal?" Alura mused, pulling her hair out of the braids she had donned for her dinner. "Does he give any clue what may be wrong with his personality?"
Very, very witty stuff. I have always felt that your wit and sense of a good dialogue are to be counted among your strong points and you prove that to be correct yet again in this story.
I really love this set of four characters, two male, two female, their feelings, their fears, their desires and the promises that future events may hold. Also, it is interesting to get a first tiny glimpse of the fact that Denethor is having certain plans and intentions of his own.
Just keep doing what you are doing because it is a great read! :)
