LOTR Drabble: Naked Steel
Title: Naked Steel
Summary: A true drabble, in which Boromir reveals rather more of himself
than he intends, and the townspeople enjoy the sight. This is based on AmandaK's Boromir!lives epic "The Long Road Home", specifically chapter sixteen where Boromir is taking a bath when orcs attack.
Word Count: 100
Rating: Teen (for nudity)
Timeline: Late Third Age (AU of bookverse)
------
This drabble is based on a scene in AmandaK's novel "The Long Road Home." TLRH is an AU tale where Boromir lives but is plagued by guilt and leaves Minas Tirith for southern Gondor before Aragorn returns from the Black Gates. This drabble ties in with chapter sixteen, in which Boromir is cleaning up when orcs attack the village where he is staying.
Erandir is the name AmandaK has Boromir use when he doesn't want his identity being generally known; Caranwen is my own OC.
[ETA: Credit where credit's due - Lyllyn really helped with the idea, and looked over it before posting.]

Caranwen hunched down, as close to the low wall as she could get.
"Have I lived through Corsairs and blood-red rivers, for this?" she whispered to herself, trying to block out everything beyond the yard that hid her. She eased her head back against the wall to stop the spinning.
"Elessar! Gondor!" A cry rose above the battle-din. Who still had the heart to shout so? Gathering her nerve, she rose up a little.
And she blushed. The brave man, who still dared cry out? Save for his sword-belt, Erandir wore naught at all.
Giggling, Caranwen dared one more look.
