Title: Born Again
Characters: Faramir and Elboron

Disclaimer: Characters are all Tolkien's; I'm just borrowing

I try not to see him as my brother reborn: to live for another is a burden no child should bear. Still, it is Boromir who smiles down at me from the top of the tree he was forbidden to climb; who weeps fierce tears and refuses all comfort when his pony dies; who struggles determinedly, struggles until his hands are rubbed blister-raw, to master the sword; who ventures, shaking, into the darkened tomb of his fathers; who pets his little sister when she cries and offers her all his best-loved toys. Impudent, fierce, determined, brave, loving Boromir… and Elboron.

Very nicely done! This is packed with more information than you usually get with a drabble. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks. It was a bit of a wedge and stuff job - you can tell by all the semi-colons ;-)

You killed his pony, you cruel wench!

Oh, I love that he sees Boromir in his son! It's having his beloved brother back again although I understand his concerns. Great drabble. Patty.

Thank you. I originally wrote this for someone's birthday - and they asked for Boromir, Faramir and Elboron. I wasn't interested in Boromir-as-a-ghost so this was the best way I could think of to bring it about.

(you know *I* wasn't surprised when you killed his pony... your trademark....)
