It's grey skies outside, and it's raining, and we're under a tornado watch compliments of hurricane Delta, and (almost) all the kitties are sleeping, and the lights are flickering for some unknown reason, so what better time than to get some fannish activities in? I've been (sloooowly) working on posting all my fic over at A03. Lately I've been taken with the need to have it all archived somewhere, if no for no one's enjoyment but my own. God forbid, if there's another incident like last year, at least I'll have it stored somewhere, gah! Anyway, in messing around with this I've realized two things: I wrote more VigBean fic than I remembered, and, I wrote like, a metric ton of drabbles...and I love my drabbles! Why aren't drabbles still a thing!? Anyway, most of the fic I'm moving over maybe slightly edited, but this one, while the form and function are exactly the same, is heavily revised, so I'm posting this revised version. The original still exists in my LJ post, but I like this version better.

Title: A King’s Promise
Pairing: Aragorn/Boromir
Summary: Aragorn visits his ailing Steward.
Disclaimer: These characters are not mine, I did not create them, I only made the ficlet.
Note: this story has been revised a fair bit from the original version, which was originally written for seleneheart’s birthday. This is an AU where Boromir did not die at Parth Galen - (is there any other kind?) - alas, Arwen gets no mention here.
Feedback: is welcomed and appreciated!
( Aragorn thrust the cup at Boromir, who eyed the liquid contained within with a wary expression. “Drink this,” Aragorn said, preparing himself for the stubbornness he could already see gathering in the tensing line of Boromir’s jaw )

So, obviously still on a LOTR kick! Now, I live for stories where Boromir survives Amon Hen, especially if his King is by his side and is resolved not to let his Steward go, not for 'crown or queen'. This is a lovely, warm fic layered with a bit of intrigue (there's some that aren't on board for the new post-war Gondor and her new King) and an understanding, loving Arwen that not only tolerates her King's love for his Steward, and in this fic, holds to the truth that it was Boromir that set Aragorn firmly onto the path to the kingship at long last. Add a dash of Legolas and Gimli and what's not to love? I really enjoy post-war stories like these where there are battles of a different kind left to fight. I think my favorite thing here, other than a surviving Boromir, is that Boromir wears both the Evenstar and the ring of Barahir on a chain around his neck, put there by Aragorn. I love that visual. Ok, so enough mucking about, go read! ;)

The Song of Aragorn and Boromir

This is the beginning of a series of drabbles I'd started, and then promptly forgotten. I came across them by accident and decided to finish'em up, because honestly I've been longing to write (happy) A/B lately. Right now I'm calling this a series of three, the others are completed and will be posted later, but as of right now I'm reserving the right to possibly add more, as inspiration allows.
