hi! i saw you used to do matchups and i wanted to ask if youre planning to do those again or if we can send you smt about those? thank you !
Hi nonnie, I currently am not doing matchups and I doubt I'll open requests again until in the future. I'm just backed up on drafts and other personal things and need time to ease back into it.
Hi love! (Hope ur okay with me calling u that 🤍) i wanted to ask whether ur matchups are open?
Totally fine with that ❤️ Unfortunately, matchups are still closed indefinitely.
Omg I love it. Thank you. You're amazing. The shy!reader x boromir stuff was just great! I just loved it. Maybe continuation?
So glad you enjoyed it hon :)
This one is a little further down the line:
- With the looming threat of Mordor and Minas Morgul, it was sometimes hard to remember Minas Tirith was still a living city.
- Tonight though, there was no doubt.
- Music filled the halls, along with drink and merriment.
- There had been a string of victories over encroachments of orcs, and the Stewart seemed to be in quite high spirits because of it.
- It also probably didn't hurt that it was his favorite son's birthday...
- Boromir was finally of age, and Denethor was making the most of the occasion.
- With your family's position in the court, your presence wall almost required
- Though earlier in the day you had been looking forward to the party, and even enjoyed a good deal of it, now...
- Your feet were sore and your were having a hard time breathing from how tightly you'd been laced into your dress
- Not to mention a lot of the partygoers had already consumed far more than their fair share of the ales and wines.
- Much like the rather repugnant man drunkenly dragging you around the dance floor now.
- You'd been trying to extract yourself for the last three songs, but the drunkard was persistent was adamantly refusing to let you go.
- You were almost on the verge of tears when someone managed to pry your hand from his. Replacing it with their own and very firmly wedging their way between the two of you, "I'm sorry, but I believe you've taken up enough of her time for one night."
- Boromir flashed you a warm smile as he spun the two of you back farther into the throng of people dancing, making quick work of getting across the room and away from the man.
- You breathed a sigh of relief, sagging into him a bit more once you were sure you were in the clear, "I don't think I can thank you enough."
- "It's nothing." He shook his head, gently leading you off the dance floor and out to one of the balconies, "I believed I still owed you a rescue anyway. We'll call yourself even."
- You frowned slightly at his words before the afternoon finally started to come back to you, "Oh! Boromir, that was years ago! I can't believe you even still remember that!"
- "I'm the son of the Steward of Gondor, and soon to be one of her captains." He smiled at you and shook his head, "What kind of a man would I be if I went around forgetting kindness done to me?"
- He caught your hand bringing it up to press a kiss to the back of it, "Especially from such a fair lady."
Based off @gondorimagines post about Boromir cradling you in his arms after a bad day. I took a creative turn with it. This is also my first Boromir fic I've written, so I hope it's good. (Not gonna lie, it was a f***ing struggle to alter my writing style to mirror that of Tolkien when I've only ever written cowboy stuff. Did I need to? Prolly not. But I'm an idiot who does things the hard way.)
Summary: You're a Lady of Dol Amroth and have been married to Boromir for a few years. You're postpartum from a long and painful delivery of your firstborn child while Boromir was gone to protect the borders of Gondor. When he returns, he offers you consolation during your difficult time.
Tags/Warnings: postpartum depression, fluff.
Boromir x F!Reader, headcanons are both SFW & NSFW (so no minors, please!). This is based on the movie version of Boromir, so if anything contradicts the books, I apologise 🙏
These are just some of the first headcanons that came to me, so I may end up doing a second post at some point! Anyway, hope everyone enjoys, and if you’d like to discuss Boromir headcanons, my askbox is always open!

- Boromir is quite the romantic. He’s never really been in love before you, so it catches him by surprise how strongly he feels for you. Like he finds himself randomly thinking about you while he’s training and ends up all flustered and distracted. He never saw himself getting married either - he’d always been too busy defending Gondor - but once he falls for you there’s no doubt in his mind that he wants you to be his wife.
- Even if you’re of a proper status to be Boromir’s wife, there’s a good chance that Denethor won’t think you’re good enough for his favourite son. But Boromir will not relent in his desire to marry you, even if that means defying his father and marrying you in secret. There’s a good chance that Denethor will get past it eventually anyway, because in his eyes Boromir can really do no wrong.
- He is incredibly physically affectionate - he loves giving hugs, and cuddling, and picking you up and carrying you. He loves being the big spoon, wrapping his arms around you and holding you close to him while he buries his face in your hair. Even if he’s had the most stressful day imaginable, holding you in his arms makes all of the stress and bad things in the world seem to melt away, even if only temporarily.
- Boromir hates being away from you, though obviously his duty to Gondor means he often has to leave for battle, sometimes even for long campaigns. But he keeps you on his mind always, and he fights in your name just as much as he fights for his country and his people.
- One of the ways to make Boromir melt is to show him gentleness and tenderness. Like you tending to his wounds after a battle? You washing his hair? He’s going to fall even more in love with you and look at you with pure adoration in his eyes, just feeling so lucky to have married the most wonderful woman in Middle Earth.
- I think he’d want to have a big family, maybe four or five kids, and a mix of daughters and sons! Of course if you’re not comfortable with that, he’ll defer to your choice - he understands that when it comes to making a child, he’s really got the easy job. If you do end up having children, he’d be such a sweet and attentive father - just imagine him playing with your kids the way he did with Merry and Pippin in Fellowship 🥹 - and I like to think that he would encourage his daughters’ interests just as much as his sons’! He’s definitely making sure not to play favourites at all either, because he saw how much that hurt Faramir when they were growing up and to this day.
- (I saw an imagine post talking about dad Boromir where he plays knights with his daughters and it solidified girldad!Boromir as my favourite headcanon, but I’m having trouble finding it again - if anyone knows the post I’m talking about please send me a link, I’ll love you forever ❤️🙏)
A few of my favorite "Boromir's sleeve" moments from Fellowship, where we get a close-up of another character and his red shirtsleeve--- rubbing Merry and Pippin to keep them warm on Caradhras, comforting Gimli at Balin's tomb, and holding Frodo back as Gandalf falls. Also this superfast, silent exchange between him and Aragorn in Moria, which I love because there are LAYERS happening. Who's sitting above the other? Who's brooding over how to get them out of this mess? Aragorn hasn't had to step up yet! They haven't fully come to terms with the ramifications of Boromir's title and Aragorn's claim. Boromir is still thinking like a commander and Aragorn is still thinking like a ranger. And yet! Even though they don't quite trust each other, they have this brief moment where they're just Two Guys in a bad situation.
Just Men! Being Dudes! Alone in a group of weirdos, lost underground! I love it!
@scyllas-revenge GIRL ONE OF MY PASSIONS IS EXPLORING THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TOLLS OF A CHARACTER'S JOURNEY ON THEIR OUTWARD APPEARANCE
Boromir Lives AU: The Stylist's Continuity Sheet
Sorry @scyllas-revenge I don't mean to screenshot instead of reblog, but for some reason the other post was flagged as mature and like OH TUMBLR, I CAN GET MATURE WITH THIS IF YOU WANT
BOROMIR LIVES AU, EPISODE 5: BOROMIR BRUSHES HIS TEETH SHIRTLESS (I have to advertise since everything gets hidden below the jump now)
----
Oh yeah, I have THOUGHTS about this. I think overall, Boromir would have a commanding officer’s mindset that good grooming shows good discipline and morale, and part of his job is to set that example. That said, I think his fastidiousness would go in stages.
TW- unhealthy weight loss
Head raccoon aside, I think on the journey from Minas Tirith, he’d let his beard grow out but keep up basic soldier hygiene otherwise, simply out of habit and as a way to keep the madness of a solo trek at bay. There’s something about cleaning your teeth each morning that reminds you you’re human.
And we're all just human, after all.
I think a switch flips once he leaves Imladris with the scruffy, patchwork ranger who apparently has a claim to the throne of Gondor. Boromir would make a point of keeping his beard trimmed and his gear tidy as a direct antithesis to Aragorn. He’d pass it off as just being a good soldier—but you know inside, his pride would be on absolute overdrive. His discipline combined with the Ring’s growing influence would push him into haughtiness and self-righteousness.
*JUDGES EXTREMELY LOUDLY*
That haughtiness, of course, would all come crashing down after Amon Hen. Out of reach of the Ring, and realizing that he was the first among the Fellowship to fall, and blaming himself for their sundering, I think he’d completely lose his sense of self, and with it, his soldier’s grooming. He’d stop shaving and keeping his hair kempt. Things would only worsen after reaching Edoras, where he would see the degradation of this once-great sister city, the frailty of Theoden, the disgrace of Eomer, the suffering of Eowyn, and the death of his friend Theodred. I think he’d equate Rohan’s desperate state with his own ruin. By Helm’s Deep, he’d have lost weight and muscle and be resigned to the fact that the world of Men was about to collapse.
Rock bottom!
He’d fight as hard as honor dictated, of course, and thanks to that and the leadership of Aragorn and the support of Legolas and Gimli—who have probably been trying to snap him out of his spiral all along (I’ve got a comic on that brewing)—he’d be stunned to find that he didn’t die and that the world of Men isn’t going to cave that easily.
We're... alive? Is that what just happened?
Post Helm’s Deep would be a turning point for him as everybody turns their attention to Gondor. Reuniting with Merry and Pippin and marching with Rohan’s army back to his city and his brother would ignite a sense of hope that he’d thought he’d never feel again. He’d get back to his soldier’s hygiene routine, but without the self-righteousness this time. It would be with a grim, fulfilling sense of purpose—he’s the High Warden of Gondor, and he’s coming back to save his country.
The beacons are lit!
And then finally, I think he’d go full tilt on Aragorn’s plan to march on the Black Gate and playact the hubris of Men. Leaving Minas Tirith so soon after returning on a suicide mission, and with Faramir wounded and his father dead, would be one of the hardest choices he’s ever made, but I think by this point he’d know his place is by Aragorn’s side as his Captain. And just like Aragorn gets pretty, Boromir would get pretty too.
^That's Faramir, not Aragorn--sorry, I was rushing my character designs
But then he comes BACK and everything is FINE.
Boromir Lives AU: Helm's Deep
This is going to make more sense if you read my illustrated dissertation on Boromir's hair length and emotional stability across the trilogy.
There's a reason Boromir had to die in canon and it's because there's too much opportunity for CHARACTER DEVELOPMENNTT
Also
Temporary crisis
Gimli's pissed
Legolas makes a shirt that says I slapped Boromir at Helm's Deep and all I got was a blunted arrow.
Hey, it worked, though. Bad luck for the uruks who happened to be first through the breach of the Deeping Wall.

Based off Imagine Boromir finally confessing his love for you. and Imagine Boromir buying a beautiful dress for you. Enjoy, if it’s possible. :)
Can I please get a headcanon of Boromir having a crush on Gandalfs apprentice who looks after the hobbits like their mum? Boromir is kinda their dad/cool uncle so they both grow close together.
Also Boromir, apprentice and hobbits falling to sleep in a big cuddle puddle 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Girl (gn) thank you so much for this awesome ask! I get the feeling that you had something slightly different in mind, but I suffer from a plotter's disease and I created an entire plotline in these headcanons and also two mini-fics. There's some angst, but there is CUDDLES, as requested :D Hope you will like it :)

Warnings: Neutral Reader, mild angst, Ring sickness (? I don’t know how else to describe it), small fight scene
You had suspected for a while that Boromir was falling under the influence of the Ring, had seen the growing desperation hidden in his eyes. He didn’t want it there, you knew that, but you also knew the state that Gondor was in, the pressure that Boromir was under from his father, and the Ring was feeding off it.
Your feet carried you through the ruins, somehow knowing that you were heading the right way, slightly worried that you hadn’t said anything to others when you had noticed both Boromir and Frodo were gone, but you knew that you had to find them, it was more important than anything else in that moment.
The shout got your attention and your pace quickened, hurrying towards the sounds of struggling before Boromir’s voice cut through the trees and you came across him alone.
If your open for requests I’d like one for boromir from lotr!
Where he has a crush on a witch who is gandalf apprentice and she saves him from getting killed by giving him half of her soul
I don't mind if its headcanon or a oneshot or anything😊
Hi Anon!! I love this!! I truly hope it was what you have been looking for <3 also I found the magic words from a generator so if they actually mean anything I would love to know :)
boromir x female!reader
basically what the ask is :)
word count: 586 words reading time: about 3 minutes warnings: mention injury, blood and near death
You had studied under Gandalf the Grey for many years, learning from the wizard in the hopes you too could possibly learn a fraction of the man's infinite knowledge. Witchcraft and wizardry were becoming less and less sort after and taught, not many wizards taking on apprentices and not many wanted to learn. It felt like in a sense the magic of the world was dying, Elves were returning to their ancestral homes, Dwarves staying in their mountains, allowing men to have free reign of the world. It brought you great sadness to think that one day you may be one of the only people with magical ability in all of Middle Earth. With Gandalf falling to the dreaded beast, Balrog, that fear was slowly becoming a reality.
i got a new graphics card and can now play on 4k!! have a handsome sad boah for Morgan Monday 💙
