A/B Ficlet

[archet]

Seems like it's been far too long since I've written some sappy A/B, with miraculously undead Boromir, of course. Hope you enjoy! ;)


Title: Star of Gondor
Author: Archet
Pairing: Aragorn/Boromir
Rating: R
Summary: I will take all he offers with a happy heart, and renew my vow never to let him forget.

*~/*\~*



He sleeps beside me, trusting as a child, one arm flung over his head, long, slender fingers curled into his palm. The stars of Gondor twine about his lean waist, painstakingly stitched into the smooth silk of the thin coverlet. Silver stars upon a black field, and his skin glows warmly underneath with his own light.

His hair, tangled and fair, fans across my pillow. I claim a lock, rubbing it between finger and thumb, watching it spark golden in the morning sunlight. My golden lover, and even after a year he yet still blushes when I tell him as such.

He is beautiful, sprawled next to me, a treasure more rare and fine than any wonder this world might offer. My hands cradling his hips, I taste his skin, gentling kisses across his belly, tonguing the sweet cup of his navel. Beneath me he stirs, barely, head turning on the pillow, and drawing away I tug the coverlet down, revealing his nakedness.

His cock, half-hard, juts proudly from the nest of wiry curls. Smiling, I bury my nose there, breathing him inside me, aching for him already. Muscled thighs nudge apart, and even in sleep he responds to me, his lover, his king. My breath stills as I look upon him, so trusting, so fine, resting in my care.

He sleeps, and my hands wander his body, mapping every dip and curve as if I didn’t already know him so well. So warm, is he, a steady constant heat under my touch. Fingertips ghost along his firming shaft, and he mumbles sleepily, and I cannot contain my smile.

He sleeps beside me, trusting as a child, and I will pull him from his dreams with my hands and my mouth. I will taste his lips, watch as those fine, green eyes open for the first time this day and gifts me with the most exquisite look of love and lust. I will map the scars upon his chest, and yet again ache that I could not take them from him completely, and listen as he tells me, yet again, to worry not over them.

I will take all he offers with a happy heart, and renew my vow never to let him forget just how beautiful he is, my golden lover, my brave warrior, my Boromir, the truest, noblest star of Gondor.

Oh--this is so beautiful, and I can see every moment, every movement. This made my breath catch, but in such a good way. So gentle and poetic, and yet we know how deeply this man matters to Aragorn, and all that he is.

Gorgeous!

Thank you for your lovely comments, ;) It'd been longer than I thought, since I'd written any A/B, and I wanted something warm and happy. I'm glad that came across, as well as that Aragorn truly loves Boromir for who and what he is, inside and out. Thanks for reading!

[sonnegirl.livejournal.com]

So sweet. And I like your choice of words - sounds beautiful.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this, thanks for reading and letting me know what you thought, ;)

In the majority of cases I*m too lazy to post the review (tis bad, I know:(, but when I really like smth - I want to let the author know that his work is appreciated.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed these two here, I think we all need more happy!A/B. ;) Maybe one of these days I'll get around an post more photo, I've been lazy this summer. Thanks for reading!

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *hugs* He needs more more tributes, I think. Happy you enjoyed this moment between them, thanks for reading! ;)

[mooms.livejournal.com]

*Sigh* Very beautiful !

[archet.livejournal.com]

Many thanks! Glad you liked, ;)

[afra_schatz]

Oh, I like this a lot. It's quite lovely how you don't wake Boromir and instead let Aragorn's thoughts change tenses, carefully and with anticipation telling himself (and us) what is going to happen once Boromir is awake. A very intriguing combination of quietness and intensity. Thanks for sharing!

[archet.livejournal.com]

Many thanks for your thoughtful comments. I love the idea of Aragorn watching Boromir sleep, and slowly waking him, I'm so glad that this worked well, and that you enjoyed both the quietness and the intensity, which was what I hoped would come across. Thanks for reading! ;)

Beautiful. *happysigh*

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm happy to know you enjoyed this little ficlet, ;)

[just-ann-now.livejournal.com]

I really like the tenderness here, and the feeling that all the battles, all the difficulties are behind them. They can rest together in blessed well-deserved peace and comfort. Very satisfying!

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, and I'm glad that you felt that, that now so many of the difficulities are behind them, and they can just enjoy one another. Glad that this satisfied, thanks for reading! ;)

You wouldn't happen to have larger versions of your icons?

[archet.livejournal.com]

I do. http://archet.livejournal.com/tag/photo+manip

You should be able to find most of the photo manipulations I've done and posted to my LJ, not all of the A/B. A few you may have to click on the links in order to see them, let me know if you have any problems. Thanks!

Thank you!

"...the truest, noblest star of Gondor."

Very sensuous, early morning meandering lover's thoughts - and I could 'hear' Aragorn's voice . . .

Quite beautiful - summing up so much and painting such a perfect picture in so few words.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm so pleased that Aragorn's voice came across so clearly, and their moment felt lovely and sensuous. I'm glad you enjoyed this, thanks for letting me know, ;)

[kurichi-chan.livejournal.com]

OMG just beautifully written. I can hear Aragorn saying those words. And how Boromir doesn't wake until later on.

And I love the last line. ^^ Beautiful....

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That you felt Aragorn's thoughts and his 'voice' felt very clear and believable makes me happy. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for reading, ;)

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

This is stunningly beautiful; soft and dreamlike and so vividly described you feel like you can feel and smell everything in front of you. Gorgeous.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Many thanks for your lovely comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed this, and felt it has a very vivid, yet soft quality. I love the idea of Aragorn watching Boromir sleep, drinking in his lover before he wakes. Thanks for reading! ;)

[brigantine.livejournal.com]

*wriggles happily (and rather warmly)* Gorgeous, gorgeous!

Lovely images; the sense of ease in the moment, the depth of appreciation, each for the other. Happy squeak!

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Ease and appreciation of one another are definitely things I'd love for you to take away from this little ficlet, I'm glad that you did. ;) Thanks for reading!

[alex-quine.livejournal.com]

I've been away and missed this.
Warm and sensuous, with a strong sense of a 'young' relationship, but mature characters within. Thanks for posting.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this, and felt it mature, warm and sensuous. Thanks for reading! ;)

[liars-dance.livejournal.com]

Sorry I'm a bit late to this - not really around much right now! But my, this was lovely. Such vivid descriptions, I can see them there on that bed. And a wonderful image it is too!

[archet.livejournal.com]

You're not late at all! Thanks so much for your lovely comments, I'm so pleased that this felt very vivid and clear. Thanks for reading! ;)

[rotpunkt.livejournal.com]

God, how beautiful you can write - you just gave me what I'm looking for in AraBoro :).

[archet.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks so much! I'm delighted that you enjoyed this, and this fits the picture you have of A/B. Thanks for reading! ;)

[fawsley.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! Utterly gorgeous! Thank you so much for this - having suffered a car journey today which should have taken 2 hours tops and took 5.5 (thank you London traffic) I was feeling in need of some hot Gondorian comfort and you've provided it admirably. miraculouslyundead!Boromir/Raggy is like a good cuppa - the cure for all ills.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm happy that this cheered you up, ;) We all need some hot Gondorian comfort now and again, *g* Thanks for reading!
