Boromir drabble
Found this today, was written just after I'd seen FOTR and had fallen in love with Boromir, and was rapidly falling in love with A/B and though I'd forgotten all about this little drabble, I remember exactly the movie moment that inspired it: Boromir on his knees, shot through with arrows and taking a breath, bracing himself maybe, he just faces that bastard orc Lurtz, gives him this *look*. *sigh* No wonder I can't watch those scenes without bawling. The Bean is so good.
Title: Empty
Rating: PG
Pairing: None
Summary: Boromir, at the end, facing Lurtz alone.

Feedback: yes please, if moved to do so.
His hope had gone, leaving only despair and shame behind. How could he have been so blind? Were not his intentions pure?
There were no answers, only pain and emptiness inside, an emptiness that would now never be filled. It was over and the only wish he had left, aside of that for the triumph for his people, was that finally, at long last, he might find some shred of peace.
Peace, how undeserving he was of it, yet how he longed for it.
The shadow of the foul orc fell upon him, and Boromir lifted his chin and glared.

Hey, I actually started the A/B/A piece tonight. Interestingly, while waiting for Bjork to come onstage at an outdoor concert. Can I interest you in betaing? Though it'll likely be a week or two before I have anything complete.

Are you kidding? I'd love to read it! Have never beta'ed for anyone before, so am not sure how qualified I am in that area, but I'd love to read it. I already said that didn't I? *g* Please do send it along whenever you'd like, I'm glad you've decided to go ahead with it. ;)
And stories *do* strike at the oddest of moments, don't they?

Me too, in the books as a kid, and all over again with Sean's performance.
As for the beta, pointing out anything that doesn't work would be appreciated. (Or assurance that I'm not on crack, if you think it does work. *g*) Once I get it done, of course. I'll keep ya posted.

I can do that. *g*
I'll keep ya posted.
Sounds good, will be looking forward to it. ;)
