Why this must be read:
One of the first, and one of the best to write in the Gondor brothers-incest world issweetsorcery. Her tender depictions of love between the brothers is well-rendered, remaining true to their characters, typically when both are in late teens or early 20s. In this story, "Make the World Disappear", she shows an older Boromir fighting against himself, desperate to hide his growing attraction to younger brother Faramir. As they visit the seaside, a sudden shower places them in a tight spot, and Boromir can no longer restrain his feelings. The story is lush in language, visually evocative, and stays in character throughout. To watch Boromir fight to hide his feelings is to feel the depths of despair; to watch Faramir overcome those barriers is a triumph of love. A brief excerpt behind the cut:
And that was when Boromir realized his mistake, though too late to make amends. He stared over Faramir's shoulder into the rain, praying it would cease soon before he grew entirely too accustomed to the feel of the strong heartbeat beneath his palm and the salty scent of sea and rain in Faramir's hair.
But nature being nature, it would not ease his pain until it felt inclined to do so, and there seemed to be no plans for it. Boromir was forced to drink in his brother's closeness like a forbidden potion, sweet and tempting and slowly fatal all at once.
"This is almost like being children again," Faramir murmured, his voice cracking a little as tough he was nervous. Still, he pressed back into Boromir's embrace, unaware of how his brother gritted his teeth when the rain slick cape on Faramir's back slid sideways and revealed a painfully seductive strip of pale flesh at the base of his neck.
Boromir gazed at the vulnerable spot until the urge to lower his lips to it was almost unbearable, and without thinking, he said roughly, "No, it is not."
