Reversal of Fortune

for the changing places challenge
thank you, mrkinch, for reminding me how to bend the rules

I have written reams about this exchange and its significance to me, but never in fiction... is that cheating?

In the best way possible. I ache with the power of the moment, beautifully fore-shadowed.

Thanks. I am so obsessed with the solstice kings theme, and also with Aragorn *being* the blade that was broken, with andruil only the symbol of it.

It is probably the most powerful moment for me still, when power and station change hands between the Blade that was broken, and the Broken Blade.

the Blade that was broken, and the Broken Blade.

I adored this phrasing every bit as much as I did the drabble itself.

Brilliant and very poignant, I love it.

I am really happy reading this...Aragorn's perception of Boromir (both man and clothes?) as opulent, princely. It makes great use of the moment their eyes lock--which Aragorn could have turned into a very tense event, but chooses not to. Terrific, fileg.

Sorry, read and enjoyed this when you posted it - just didn't get around to commenting. I'm very fond of this scene and I think you've done it justice.
