Jun. 22nd, 2003 12:44 pmA quick Aragorn/Boromir ficlet written for
milochka and
delica, inspired by
milochka 's Reforged Aragorn icon.
On with the icon challenge ;)
Reforged
It was while hiding in the shadows that he first saw the blond Steward of Gondor.
And seeing him stride around so confidently felt like a knife to his heart.
How long had he been hiding...keeping out of the spotlight... lurking in the shadows... having nothing to him, not his own name, not the sword that was the symbol of his heritage, nothing...
Rationally he knew that there were reasons, sound reasons, for that but looking at the Gondorian warrior stride arrogantly around and pick up the shards of Narsil he felt hot rage burn through him.
And hot rage was something he hadn’t felt in a long time.
Raised by the elves, his life had been the life suspended in time of those for whom time holds no meaning. Human passions and desires distilled across entire ages until they became dulled, tamed and felt like they were not a necessary part of life.
A life centered on a mission, with no room for self-indulgence.
A fiance chosen to better fulfill that mission, to be a symbol at his side and nothing more.
And he had truly come to feel that nothing more was needed...
And now this arrogant blond guy walked around acting as if he owned the place, grabbed the shards of his sword as if they were just a common piece of weapon forgotten about by some careless warrior...
Blood roared through his veins, rushed through all of his body, bringing it back to life, forging it into hard, hot iron.
He stepped from the shadows and silently walked up to the blond Steward who was still looking at Narsil. As he grabbed his shoulders and brought him against his body, he spoke.
“Mine.”
Narsil would be reforged one day.
The man who would wield it has been reforged now.

Glad you liked it, I've always found Aragorn a bit too tame in that scene (and his hair is way too clean..)

Lovely ficlet, with suspended emotion building up to a climax point -- the only spoken word.
"Mine."
*brain overloaded*
Ooh, and Narsil, my favorite prop ;p

Date: 2003-06-22 09:30 pm (UTC)Heh. Naughty girl! Is there a fic in there somewhere? *looks hopeful*
Thank you. Am now thinking of Sean being spanked with the handle of said prop. Argh! As if desecrating Boromir's wig yesterday wasn't blasphemous enough...

hey, naughty gal, i think you should use the flat side of the blade for spanking, right? *g*

flat side of the blade for spanking
Well, that depends... if Narsil's still in its present condition, owwww! That'd be nasty. "Shards" of Narsil, and all that. *G*
The sword's pommel, though... gah. It's really quite gorgeous, I love the shape. Could leave an interesting mark, though it would probably be awkward to wield in reverse like that.
*ahem* Anyways. Back to your regular program. :-)
Re:
Date: 2003-06-22 10:10 pm (UTC)isn't it being reforged *v*
PJ had mentioned (in the extended dvd) that Viggo wouldn't go anywhere without his sword. i supposed the sword Viggo was always carrying is a "complete" one....maybe even with its sheath ;)

Date: 2003-06-22 10:33 pm (UTC)Yeah but that was probably Anduril most of the time, not the reforged Narsil? (I am really the wrong person to ask about LOTR canon!)

Date: 2003-06-22 11:59 pm (UTC)can't remember clearly but it seems there's some special color button on the remote for such channel, right? and there's always a certain preview time (30 sec up to 1 min?) before you actually get into the program, is that the case?

I'm not sure about the remote button but I know that when you go on one of the pay-per-view adult channels the screen goes black and you get a warning message. Yep, preview time is 30 secs up to 1 minute and I think that if you do more than 3 previews in a row the movie starts anyway and you get charged.
Hope this has the bunny biting *G*
Re:
Date: 2003-06-23 12:53 pm (UTC)want to clarify one thing, though. how long would a viewing/program usually last? (really 2 hours? *g*)

Re: ROTFL
Date: 2003-06-23 03:45 pm (UTC)just wondering....LOL....the moaning was from the actors/actresses of the tv program, or from the guest viewing the program *g*
