Oh, how funny! Boromir the bold was working hard at earning his title even as a teenager, then? Hah!

Author Reply: I think Boromir was probably like that from the cradle, brandishing a club instead of a rattle...

What an unexpexted twist at the end !

Author Reply: Thanks, Linda!
I rather like the twist, but I've a feeling one can play that game too often...So I'll be trying not overdo it!

Delightful view of the two young brothers. Nice foreshadowing as well as a good glimpse of the disparate personalities of the two.

I really enjoyed this - great job!

Author Reply: I did intend it as a foreshadowing, but not a heavy one. I did want to show that Faramir doesn't always let Boromir push him around without a protest!

Clever buildup of the Osgiliath scenario, only to find that the defenders are much younger and that Boromir is leading the defense of a sandcastle, not the Citadel of the Stars, against a tide of water, not orcs. Boromir is definitely serious about saving 'his' fortifications, though!

Author Reply: Thanks, Raksha! I was on my seaside hols when I thought of this one. It has a warrant, though, in Imrahil's comparison of Gondor's last march to children sitting on a sandcastle. So very suitable for someone who lives by the sea!

Whoooooaaaaaaa Faramire!!! Yessssssss!!! And Boromir too!

A delightful small piece, love the little "surprise"! Look forward to seeing more.

Author Reply: Thanks, Armariel! Plenty more where that came from - I hope.

What a great scene! I didn't guess what was "really" happening until you let us in on it. :D

Author Reply: I ilke surprise endings. It can be overdone, though: after a bit, clever readers start to second-guess you...
