Sshhh!! I've put all my crazy TM pups to sleep so I could devote myself to this.

I think no one's written AraBoro, poor pets, so this is for them and without the letter L (which wasn't easy, I really needed to use the world lovers, dammit)



It was in the darkness that we first touched.

Touched the way you do when you don't mean to stop to a touch, when you touch with more than your fingers, when your entire body becomes your hand.

In the darkness touching you was as seeing you, and seeing you with my eyes became unnecessary.

In the darkness taking you became the way of making the dark our friend and not our enemy.

In the darkness there was no steward, no ranger, just two becoming one.

In the darkness I guarded you in my arms and thought it was forever.

Yay! AraBoro, and absolutely lovely... says so much in so few words, and implies a lot in what it cannot say... beautiful!

*hugs*

That was just gorgeous. My hat's off to you.

Finally, some AraBoro! Thank you, and great job with the challenge, very beautiful and evocative in so few words.

Oh, absolutely lovely!

I like how the narrator is never revealed; it could be Boromir, guarding his King as befits a Steward, or Aragorn, guarding his Steward as befits a King. There's no distinction being made between them, or between their senses -- but there's this clarity that's heartbreaking.

*hearts you*

Beautiful. Lovely response to the mad woman's challenge.

Psstt - one of them's just woken up but don't worry, I've just locked him away again, so you can have some peace...

Just lovely, so full of want and yearning. That last line got me right through the heart, ;)

This is beautiful. Love the repetition of "in the darkness" -- makes it almost like an incantation. *pets the pretties*

Gah! I'm guhhing over northern lights icons?! It's true. Those are perfectly lovely -- thanks for pointing them out. You are so subtle, moldava, yes you are. *g* *heaves sigh* I'll just have to pick one out and write a thing for it, then, won't I? Honestly, at this rate, nature icons are going to edge out the boys... *huggles*
