*sniffles* Beautifully imagined and written, dear Lin! I certainly see how it has the possibility to be a multi-chapter AU, but you did an admirable job 'wrestling' it all into one standalone piece. Much applause for you!
As always, you write Boromir so truthfully in character that I cannot help but believe that if Frodo were unable to continue his quest, Boromir is the one he would choose as the new Ringbearer. It makes a lot of sense that in his remorse over his falling to the Ring's seduction would make him immune to it thereafter.
