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

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.

have you, like many others, ever wondered how gimli managed to overtake legolas’ kill count during the battle of helms deep? well wonder no longer!

two factors go into this: one, arrows. in the movies, it seems like legolas has a never ending supply (i wont fault them too much for this because he does take the time to scavenge for arrows, though not during the heat of battle). in the books, though, he very quickly has to resort to using his knives once the orcs breach the wall.

two, in the books, when theoden calls for his forces to fall back behind the second wall, gimli is left fighting with a few other soldiers while legolas manages to retreat, giving gimli an opportunity to up his kill count.

now, i don’t know whether these numbers (42 and 43) are realistic for a battle of this scale, but they are the same numbers tolkien used in the books. i always think about how those kills are only a drop in the bucket against a force of 10,000, but i digress.

**edit: that scene in the movie where legolas and gimli share their kill counts is actually the first time they’re seeing each other after the battle- it’s the first time they find out that they’re both alive and well after being separated and it makes me so emotional lol

Backgound LEGOLAS can really multi-task.

This is one of my favorite scenes. Legolas is trying to eavesdrop on Aragorn and Éowyns conversation while guiding scared civilians with a gentle hand.

Fucking legend.

March 3rd: The Battle of Helm's Deep begins

Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
