Tolkien's world and characters belong to his wonderful spirit and his heirs and estate. I'm simply journeying with him in love and respect.

This story is my attempt to explore what might have happened during the 110 days it took Boromir to get from Gondor to Rivendell: a gap in Tolkien's narrative too tempting not to play around in for us Boromir lovers! Definitely AU, but not wildly so. I try to be respectful of character and canon. It's really intended more as a gap-filler than a full-blown AU. Yes, OCs; but not Mary-Sues (holds up hand and swears). The title is from Boromir's statement at the Council that he had not come to beg any boon of them, although Gondor sorely needed help.
