Format: Short Story
Genre: Family
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Boromir, Faramir, Denethor
Pairings: n/a

Creators' Notes (optional): grey_wonderer submitted the following prompt for the characters of Boromir and Faramir (Denethor optional) -- Boromir preparing to leave for Rivendell for the council, perhaps a discussion between the two brothers? Or two POV's: written from how Boromir sees things then written again with Faramir's POV on events. (and if you want, go a third time through with Denethor's thoughts) Or just write it once in the way that seems best to you. :)

Summary: Boromir and Faramir wrestle with the decision of what is to be done after they both receive a summons by means of a mysterious, riddling dream.

March 4 Prompts

[dawn_felagund]

Here are today’s prompts:

• 2006 -- In the "Tale of the Years" Tolkien tells us about what happens to certain characters each day of March 3019. We challenge you to write about the character(s) he does NOT mention: “Théoden and Gandalf set out from Helm's Deep for Isengard. Frodo reaches the slag-mounds on the edge of the Desolation of the Morannon. "


• 2007 (t_n_b) -- D: Like a very dirty dragon


• 2007 (SWG) -- By the starlit mere of Cuiviénen, Water of Awakening, they rose from the sleep of Ilúvatar; and while they dwelt yet silent by Cuiviénen their eyes beheld first of all things the stars of heaven. Therefore they have ever loved the starlight, and have revered Varda Elentári above all the Valar.
  
  In the changes of the world the shapes of lands and of seas have been broken and remade; rivers have not kept their courses, neither have mountains remained steadfast; and to Cuiviénen there is no returning.


• 2009 -- What is a role model to you? Do role models require certain qualities for you? How should people relate to their role models? Write a story, poem or create an artwork based on characters who are role models for their people.


• 2011 -- Write a story or poem or create artwork where the character conquers his or her fears.


• 2012 -- I22


• 2013 (B) -- “'Give me leave, lord,[...] and I will guard him and guide him as I may; then no man shall say that elven-words are lightly spoken. Nor would I wish to see so great a good run to nothing in the wild.'”


• 2013 (B) -- “The sun went down, and there came a great silence. Darkness fell upon the land, and the sea was still, while the world waited for what should betide. Slowly the fleets passed out of the sight of the watchers in the havens, and their lights faded, and night took them; and in the morning they were gone. For a wind arose in the east and it wafted them away; and they broke the Ban of the Valar, and sailed into forbidden seas, going up with war against the Deathless, to wrest from them everlasting life within the Circles of the World.”


• 2013 (B) -- "Down the swift dark stream you go
  Back to lands you once did know..."
