From the Other River Bank by Dwimordene (PG-13)

[nightbird18.livejournal.com]

Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Boromir/Faramir
Author Website: http://www.dwimordenespage.org/ and here's an archive with more of her works: http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/story_sort.cfm?STAuthorID=5&CSCharID=0&STCategoryID=0&STGenreID=0

Why this must be read: As you can see from above, this story has incest but it's really not graphic at all. The story is also very long. But the language, plot, and angst are just beautiful. I especially love this story because it lets the reader explore the world Boromir lived in before the Quest. Also because I'm a sucker for tales of unrequited love. :)

Oh, thanks for reccing this one! I have read it many times and to me it is still the best LotR fiction I have read. Ok, quite a take on the B/F relationship (but then, I like that a lot, that is why I was looking for this story in the first place).
I find the language and the pacing slowly intense, and the politics that make the fabric of the story are spot-on.
And then, of course, there is huge angst and unrequited love and confusion...
It's a great, long, satisfying read.
Thanks!

Maybe you would like to specify that the incest is not graphic at all?
So that people don't get unnecessarily squicky ~g~
I mean, there is just a kiss
There's also the writer's site, but I can't find the link now.
