I particularly love this bit: "the victory had come so easy he had almost doubted it." I'm sure that the part of the "old" Boromir that's still there realizes even now that there was no victory...
I'm sure that the part of the "old" Boromir that's still there realizes even now that there was no victory... *nods* Yeah. Just the idea of being trapped inside himself like that is almost as terrifying to me as night-vision Orcs. ^_~
Yeah, night-vision Orcs is pretty creepy...but, thanks to cressida0201, I can now imagine Debbie with a powerful flashlight in one hand and some pepper spray in the other! :-D
And yes, "trapped inside himself" pretty much sums it up. Boromir's death is not a happy-ending either, but in a way, I'm glad it didn't come to what you wrote...
Actually, this makes me think of a character from a computer game I've been playing lately: she actually does get lured into the darkness and ends up where you put Boromir in your AU. Fortunately for her, my character was able to turn her back :-p
Creepy and sad. Who would have thought I could be pleased he died instead of having this outcome. *g* It's truly fantastic how this twists at the end, from thinking he's a ghost to realizing he's something much worse. Lovely.
Who would have thought I could be pleased he died instead of having this outcome. *g* Yeah, same here... but I'm sure he would rather be dead than be that.
Oh, I agree--too creepy, contemplating Boromir being devoured by the power of the Ring like this, and the Shadow truly taking him and so manifesting itself.
