A Tale Worth Telling  by SlightlyTookish 2 Review(s)

"You may do that by honoring his memory,” came a voice from the side; it was Gandalf, and he seated himself next to Frodo. “Boromir was a valiant man, and though he was tempted by the Ring he did not forget his friends when they were in need. It is always better to remember one for his good deeds rather than his faults.” At this he winked at Pippin, and was rewarded by a grin in return.


Yet another tale I couldn't wait to read. You are so good at filling in all the places where the Professor left us hanging. Leave it to wonderful, wise old Gandalf to teach the gentle lesson of remembering good deeds rather than faults. A good rule to live by. Again, thanks for the wonderful slice of hobbitfic. I continue to look forward to your every story. :-)

Author Reply: Thank you, Katie! Regardless of his faults, I love how Boromir became so protective of Merry and Pippin and how he sacrificed his life for them. It's one of the many moments of LOTR that really touched me. I'm so glad you enjoyed this story. Thanks! :)
