Linaewen's Lake of Small Birds

I thought it might be fitting to end Back to Middle-earth Month with a new chapter of my Boromir AU.  ;-)  This chapter is one I've been waiting to get to for a looooong time, in terms of the story.  I hope you will find it as enjoyable to read as I did to write!


And thanks for reading!

Here we go, another chapter at last!  For review purposes, just click on the tag to retrieve previous chapters.  If you've lost track of where we are in the tale, the date is March 10, the Dawnless Day, according to Tolkien's Tale of Years:

March 10 The Dawnless Day. The Muster of Rohan: the Rohirrim ride from Harrowdale. Faramir rescued by Gandalf outside the gates of the City. Aragorn crosses Ringló. An army from the Morannon takes Cair Andros and passes into Anórien. Frodo passes the Cross-roads, and sees the Morgul-host set forth.



Last year on January 1st, I posted Chapter 30 of this tale, and a year later I am only on Chapter 37.  Grrr!  I'll have to do better than that this year, methinks...  ;-)

At last, a new chapter, wheee!  ;-)

If you need a review, or think you've missed any, just click on the tag to retrieve previous chapters.  If you're a real stickler for detail and want to know where this chapter fits into the grand scheme of things, the larger part of the "action" in this chapter takes place on March 9 and early March 10, according to Tolkien's Tale of Years:

March 9 Gandalf reaches Minas Tirith. Faramir leaves Henneth Annûn. Aragorn sets out from Erech and comes to Calembel. At dusk Frodo reaches the Morgul-road. Théoden comes to Dunharrow. Darkness begins to flow out of Mordor.

March 10 The Dawnless Day. The Muster of Rohan: the Rohirrim ride from Harrowdale. Faramir rescued by Gandalf outside the gates of the City. Aragorn crosses Ringló. An army from the Morannon takes Cair Andros and passes into Anórien. Frodo passes the Cross-roads, and sees the Morgul-host set forth.


Thanks for reading!

This particular chapter is one that I have wanted to write for ages, but I couldn't do it until Boromir got this far in his journey; now he is here and a goal has been reached. Perhaps I can get some of my other work done, now that we have reached this point together.

Though I'm sure he won't be content to stay here long! He has places to go and things to do, and I shall have to write them. ;-)

Read on, while I go attend to some other important tasks that are not Boromir-related...

Well, Boromir wouldn't let me go off on a new venture without doing one more chapter in his tale, so that's what I was doing on Saturday, instead of packing. It was time well spent, however! It had been far too long (as per my current rate of writing), and I hated to see the story not move on, though the tale passes through sorrow before it can do so.

Here is last month's chapter, if you need to review a bit: Lords of Gondor Chapter 28

In this next chapter, Boromir bids a friend farewell...

Thought I'd post this newest chapter, before I head out on my trip. ;-) Previous chapters can be found by clicking on the appropriate link on my journal's main page, or by going to the Scrapbook, here: Lords of Gondor

I threw off all responsibility this weekend and wrote this. Boromir's happy, I'm happy. Hope my readers will be happy! :-D

Well, guess you all get to see this first, as the Fanclub Boards are down again. Nice timing -- NOT! :-D
