Oct. 19th, 2021 11:14 amI reblogged this post I made in Nov 2013:
Little Estel growing up in a place where no one dies or ages or changes, ever, except him
Estel is Aragorn and it fills his heart with pride and then he falls madly in love with the most unattainable woman on the planet and it means his own grief or breaking up his family eternally
Young Aragorn returns to his people, who he doesn’t actually know, and has to become a Dúnadan of the North, the Dúnadan, when he’s only ever been a not-quite-Elf. His mother dies.
Aragorn wanders all over the globe. At one point he goes to Gondor, the country of which he has to gain kingship at some undetermined point in the future. The Steward’s heir is one year older than he is, looks as much like an ancient Númenórean as he does—looks like his brother, if he had one—and has ancient Númenórean powers to go with his height and face, just like Aragorn. Denethor hates him and Aragorn has to walk carefully around him. He leaves when Denethor’s son, Boromir, is three.
Boromir shows up out of nowhere while Frodo is recovering in Rivendell. Little Boromir is now forty, a massive and supremely skilled warrior. He’s instantly suspicious of Aragorn. But they forge a relationship of mutual respect and perhaps even friendship through their assorted tribulations, yay!
Boromir, who Aragorn remembers as a toddler, dies in his arms.
