Rated R for violence. AU story - Aragorn leaves Gondor in his Steward's care while he travels west, and Boromir falls into a new kind of darkness from which he must rescue himself without the help of his king. Sequel to The Captain and the King - see below.
(In Progress)

Rated PG. Boromir travels from Gondor to Rivendell, looking for the answers to a riddle that could save his people.
