*swallows hard* *wipes tear from eye* *blows nose*
I think I just read the reason why I love the Boromir/Faramir pairing and so wonderfully written that I wonder if it's the best fic about their relationship I've ever read.
It is I that watches over you, my brother, my lover in body, in blood, in bond. Some would say it is not right, this desire. Perhaps it is not right to want you so, and I do want you, wholly and completely. I do want you, and so I cannot care for what is right or wrong in it. Can love this strong be wrong? If so, then let all men be wrong for just one moment. Let them know what it is to dream. This is exactly it. Actually, I didn't want to quote because I was afraid to have to quote the whole fic to do it justice, but I love this paragraph so much since it summarizes their relationship so well - you really hit the nail on the head with that.
It's really so sad that in your fic, they had never had a chance to show each other their love. I, being a hopeless optimist, still try to convince myself that they have had the chance before Boromir departed for Rivendell, but I also appreciate your way of seeing things because this puts an extra twist of hurt into an already very tragical pairing. It's strange, but I always tend to like pairings whose love is either impossible from the beginning (and thus tragic because of unrequited love or self-denial) or not possible anymore. *sigh* A wonderful ficlet. Thank you so much for having written this and for having made me cry like the romantic sap I am.
