What a lovely series. I especially like discovering the origin of Boromir's cloak.

[kortirion]

Thanks, but I owe a debt of gratitude to just-ann-now - it was her character that originated the charm-sewing for Boromir.
Hoping she will see this and post a link to it that I can't find. ;-)

I'm so happy I saw this! Thank you for keeping our stories alive {{hugs}}

[kortirion]

Ah now I'm glad you're there.... I've been trying to find your original drabble about the charm-stitching for the cloak and I can't find it in the archive here.
Do you have a link?

Here 'tis! December 5, 2005. Wow.

[kortirion]

Great! I'd entirely forgotten it was a poem... and didn't we generate alot of comments back then? Thanks for looking, I didn't go back far enough. 2005... wow indeed.

I like this--multiple POVs on Boromir's departure that you're pulling together at the end.
How much love and concern went with him...

[kortirion]

Thanks, as you can see, partly inspired by a little bit of fanon orginally generated by just_ann_now ...and shamelessly appropriated in the pursuit if a good story. ;-)

Oh I really like these - it is nice to see Amah again.

[kortirion]

Thanks - the old bird is always around, somewhere or other! ;-)

What a great different viewpoint of Boromir's leaving. I really liked this!

Thanks I'm pleased you enjoyed them - I have yet to complete the series with 'picked up a glass' but hope to wind up this viewpoint with a thought from each of them.
