Thank you so much, I love Boromir and his stubbornness, and am glad you enjoyed this. Whenever I write Boromir lately, it tends to be AU and sappy tender.

and the line I enjoyed the most was this one: As an ember borne up on hot drafts, he is a fragment of fire drifting amidst heat

That line was actually a very late addition, and I went back and forth as to whether I'd leave it, so I'm very happy to see you liked. Thanks for reading and letting me know you enjoyed! ;)
