~ a civil manner by ezra’s persian kitty ~ ~legolas/boromir~
okay, i didn't take this fic too seriously, it's probably supposed to be, but instead i took it on a more lighter note and found it amusing and fun as all hell. it's your typical, i'm an elf and so much better than you a pratty human, and i'm a human and you're just a stuck up elf that looks hot-- oops i didn't say that! story. after all, opposites attract and what's better than a little sex to make everyone friends and even out the playing field.

~ eternity by lizzie ~ ~boromir/aragorn, angst, death~
awwwww. meep. youse killed him again. okay, so it's not as bad as seeing the end of the movie, but in a bit it's worse. i liked boromir damn it, i can't explain itb but i did. however lizzie does a great and wonderful justifying why. i love her fics because she lets you get into boromir's mindset and thus lets you gain a bit of sympathy for the character. this is a retrospective piece in which one finds that sometimes the best moments in life are sometimes the worst.

~ the very secret diaries by cassandra claire ~ ~copius pairings, parody~
what can i say about cassandra claire that hasn't been said before? how can you be a lotr fans and haven't read these short bits? they've spawned their own merchandise, been seen by actual cast members, and even mentioned on theonering.net. it's a parody of lotr mixed with a bit of bridgette jones's sensiblity, creating one of the most hilarious ideas in the fandom. now, you can finally see where all those catch phrases like "still not king" "still prettiest" and "pointy hat trick" have come from

~ yessë by lizzie ~ ~aragorn/boromir, first pov~
this is one of the things i wish was written more in lotr fics. hell, it's one of those scenes i wish i got to see in the movie. call me weird but some times i want to read about character frustration and subsequent pugilistic tendencies, especially when it makes sense. so aragorn knows that boromir is disgruntled and decides to push boromir to his limit. it's one of those little physical confrontations that are so rare in the fandom and, damn me, if it wasn't done well.
