FOREWORDStar-Crossed is a series of drabbles, situated in my alternate universe, where Boromir does not die at Parth Galen but lives out his life on Elladan's side as the co-regent of the Reunited Kingdom.
Most of these drabbles feature Elladan and/or Boromir, save a few where their relationship is reflected upon by other characters. I am afraid I never managed to keep the exact number of 100 words but tried to remain as close as possible.
Background stories are Seal On My Heart and Annúminas, in case anybody is interested.
DRABBLE #1: UNDER THE EVENING STAR
Rating: G
Summary: Elladan contemplates his Final Choice. 103 words.
Author's note: This is a scene early on in Elladan and Boromir's relationship, when Boromir still have not decided to fully accept Elladan's love.
Elladan stepped out to the balcony, looking up to the stars. Eärendil's Ship sailed high upon the night sky; the thought of being the grandson of the evening star seemed strange, now that he had chosen to become mortal.
He wondered what Eärendil might think about his choice. True, Elros himself had chosen to be counted among Men, but Elros had had a kingdom waiting for him to be founded.
What had Elladan waiting for him? Probably nothing but an unrequited love, a few chosen moments of bliss, hidden from prying eyes.
And yet, he knew he would make the same choice again.
