Under My Wing (G)

Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Finduilas/Denethor (no abbreviations, please)
Length: Very, very long, but easy to read in small bits
Author on LJ: http://edoraslass.livejournal.com/
Author Website: Archived at Henneth-Annun
Why this must be read:

Everything about Denethor, Boromir and Faramir changed after I read this. A beautiful look at the life of the Steward's household told by the nanny, starting from Boromir's birth and going through the end of the War of the Rings. Edoraslass knows and loves children, and that shines through in a Boromir and Faramir who could run up to you one day at the park, while simultaneously being very much the person they were in the books. As usual for Edoraslass, every character is amazing. Even the drunken lout who makes a single appearance! Denethor and Finduilas feel like people and parents, struggling with children and a kingdom in the midst of chaos and loss.

Edoraslass has more short stories in this universe, but I can't possibly list them all and the mods wouldn't like me very much if I did. So take this for what is is: an excellent world that can be fleshed out at will as you take in more of Edoraslass' stories. Go read.

I had to say that I got distracted by your icon, and had to let it cycle through completely lest I miss something important. *G*
