Summary: Boromir is in Rivendell by order of his father, and he is not exactly thrilled to be there. His first night in Rivendell, one of the Elves returns an important possession that he unknowingly lost. Despite Elrond’s warning to stay away from her, Boromir finds that he cannot abide by his host’s wishes. Instead, he endeavors to discover what makes the Elf-maid so threatening, and along the way, something that he believed to be locked inside his heart awakens.
Just as something that Boromir thought he would never have—or want—begins to take form, the Fellowship departs for Mordor. The journey South tests the Fellowship’s resolve and forces them to struggle with the burdens of pain, suffering and loss, and Boromir is pulled in two directions. The moment comes where he must choose between carrying out his father’s orders and bringing the One Ring back to Minas Tirith—no matter the cost—or helping to destroy the last hope his people have so that he can be with the one he loves.

*CW: Some more badly written sex. It's not quite as bad. And there's less crying.
