1. Moria

Aragorn watches in horror as the cave troll swipes at Boromir like a cat with a mouse, sending him flying into the wall with an audible thud. He can spare only a moment, fighting with half his attention--but a moment is enough, and Boromir pulls himself to his feet.

Boromir shakes his head to settle the ringing in his skull, then catches his captain's eye-quickly, and only once, but enough. Aragorn nods, shortly. He is well enough, if not truly well, and when all this is done, there will be healing needed...and Boromir throws himself back into the fray.



2. New Zealand

They'd done several takes, and although Sean wasn't the one flung into that wall for every take, they needed a few to establish his facial reaction. And even foam rock hurts after the fifth time.

Viggo hisses in sympathy when Sean eases Boromir's tunic off--his side and one half of his back is black and blue from bruising. And though he's out of costume completely, Aragorn hasn't left him yet--"the hands of a king are the hands of a healer," he mutters under his breath. Sean hears him, and turns, slowly, "What're you muttering about?" Viggo repeats it, louder, and slowly, gently, traces the bruises.

And perhaps the hands of a king are the hands of a healer after all--for when Viggo touches him, the world and the pain it carries fades away...and he is whole once more.

This is so gentle and sweet! I always loved the cave troll scene in the extended DVD, the way Aragorn looks at Boromir, making sure he's all right... you captured that moment beautifully. *contented sigh*
And I especially like the last line, because it blends Boromir and Sean (and Aragorn and Viggo) together, in a way... and I get A/B and S/V all in one! Yay! :D
*cuddles bruised!Sean* Hush, sweetie... I'm sure Viggo'll kiss it better now... ;)

Whee! She likes it!

Thanks, Cinzia...and I'm glad the last line worked. That's always the hardest part.

You did a wonderful job capturing that sometimes difficult and fuzzy transition from fantasy to reality. Clever and sweet.

[ribby.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it--and glad the fuzziness of that line came through!

A/B + V/S = very happy me! This was so short but painted quite a lovely picture and I enjoyed it immensely. Loved Viggo taking care of Sean and his muttering. Thanks for sharing!

[ribby.livejournal.com]

Glad I could help with the happiness! And something about artists always makes me think of the type that mutter to themselves (probably 'cause all the ones I know do)!

Thanks for the praise--it's very appreciated!

That was pretty. Very nice. Now I want to watch that scene again. hehe. I love it. Thank you for posting it.

[ribby.livejournal.com]

You're welcome--glad you liked it! And I'm all for getting people to watch The Movie again...*grin*

Oh yes, the muttering.
*S*
I really liked the blurredness of this ficlet. Very sweet and simple. Like all the best things in life.

[ribby.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *grin* Glad you liked it.

Love your icon, btw...*giggle*

Oh, that was lovely. I very much enjoyed it. Loved how Viggo stayed in character, it felt true to life.

[ribby.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you--that's a wonderful compliment! Especially since I always feel that I can't quite get Viggo right...

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

~Kris

Wonderful

[itsaslashything.livejournal.com]

This was so sweet. I could believe Viggo couldn't leave Aragorn behind and that they *both* wanted to heal Boromir/Sean.


PS...Cinza...Can I help Vig kiss Sean better? Just this once? I promise not to bite. Much.

Re: Wonderful

[ribby.livejournal.com]

Thanks! As I've said, I always feel like I don't quite get Viggo right--and it's nice to know I did!

Glad you enjoyed!

~Kris

PS. Hey! Leave some of Sean for the rest of us! *grin*

[jennandanica.livejournal.com]

Oooo, very lovely. Loved the mix of fictional and real person. I adored the details like the line about even the foam rocks hurting. Wonderful job, and it made my V&S muses are warm and cuddly!

[ribby.livejournal.com]

Ooh, warm and cuddly muses are good things--mine usually are _much_ more prone to fic bunnies when warm and cuddly...

Thanks, and I'm glad you liked it!

lol! Mine are prone to dropping bunnies in my lap and wandering off without finishing them. Except for my RPG muses, they're just downright rebellious! *lol*

[alexabond.livejournal.com]

Very sweet!

Oh, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the comment!
