Title: Ancient Customs Well Employed (3 of 3)
Author: Hurinhouse
Rating: PG-R
Pairing: Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir
Summary: Gilraen's son was ever resourceful

Sixty years of filth, starvation. Eighty of uncertainty. His mother had bid: Duty, honor, love, My Son.

He’d fulfilled the first; today, forsaken the second.

The third he’d craved twenty-five years, since he spied Gondorian captains teaching the young Prince to fight. Golden and proud, new as spring rain, he swung a blade like he was dancing.

Aragorn knew then: Arwen would be his Queen, this warrior his love, willing or no.

He snapped a ring tight, let his brother have him first, a necessity. Then, firm touches and soft words ensured Boromir’s curses, gasps, shudders, remained Aragorn’s for eternity.

I've read these all in one go. What can I say but I am in awe of your writing. Such an unnerving feel you manage to give in little words. Wonderful.

thanks for all your feedback over the last couple of weeks - i appreciate it. i'm enjoying the process of constructing these drabbles.

oh hell! it all comes together. *cough* so to speak.

almost like first night rights, yes? the juxtaposition of faramir in this small epic is just the thing, too. he being there, doing what he does, fulfills duty, honor, love as well.

of course it's just wording, but i think there is much more to boro than a tight ring. *G* Boromir’s curses, gasps, shudders... that's what i would value, too (and i know aragorn will).

great! thanks for stepping out into the big scary slash-writing arena.

yes, first night rights - except that aragorn gets to keep his prize - sweet.

of course it's just wording, but i think there is much more to boro than a tight ring.

so do i! omg - roflmao. that play on words never occurred to me, but now you bring it up, that is what would come to mind - wild.

i was referring to a cock ring, actually, that aragorn adorned boromir with while faramir had him to guarantee boromir enjoyed his time with aragorn more than with faramir.

maybe i'll find a way to reword - thanks for the heads up and all your kind words.

Gorgeous conclusion. I love the want that has been there for so long, and that will hopefully will be fulfilled from now on.

Thank you, again :)

I can't help thinking this is how you win and lose all at once. Compelling.

Thank you.
