Boromir has a second dream so he goes to Rivendell instead of Faramir. Story follows Boromir's journey to Rivendell, relationships with others, particularly Aragorn. Can he conquer his despair, which makes him so vulnerable to the Ring? Long slow multi-chapter fic, no romantic plot, no slash. Rated T for violence (battles; graphic) and one brief M/F sexual encounter (non-explicit).
