Title: Heartbound
Pairing: Boromir/ Elrohir.
Rating: PG
Summary: Boromir's appearance in Imladris complicates the twins'
lives, especially when he cannot tell the identical twins apart. AU,
pre-fellowship.
Warning: Slash (male/ male pairings)

hey y'all. if you happen to have been reading my Mirror Dance series featuring Elrohir and Boromir, know that eight chapters into the story i decided to change the name to Heartbound.

two reasons for that. first is that mirror dance was a sucky name to begin with. i never liked it, never thought it captured the essence of the story but i needed a title to post a fic on my groups so i had to think of a name. any name.

the second (better) reason is that the story has evolved. when i started writing i intended it to just be something short (3 chappies) and simple ('silly-mistake:misunderstanding:resolution) and that was it. it was meant to focus more on how alike/ unalike the twins are, thus 'mirror dance'.

instead, the bloody thing went to develop a plot. and a Protagonist.

so now i'm writing WAAAAYYYY beyond the original scope. and it's become a love story as seen thru Elrohir's eyes. quite sweet really, but did i mention WAAAYYYYY beyond the original scope? did i mention HOW way beyond the original scope?

well. just know that heartbound will have 9 chapters in all.

*sweatdrop*





so anyway. i am changing the name. cos i do want a break between the two parts of the story. for me at least there IS a marked shift, and i want to have that in two seperate Acts. if i continue with the name mirror dance then i will have to continue under the same title for both. (cos of the contents. dont ask.)

but i dont WANT to lump them all together.
*has a 'stubborn' problem, aka, spoilt brat*

back to the point (if ever there was one in this wierd and rambly rant), Mirror Dance Act 1 will be called 'Heartbound', and Mirror Dance Act 2 will be called 'Oathsworn', which i think very nicely sums up Elrohir's inner state throught the thing. originally they were all meant to be flat cardboard charries, but apparently they had other ideas. you have NO IDEA how much trouble they were. Elrohir especially. just cos he's sweet dont think he doesnt get his way. he went on strike and absolutely REFUSED to cooperate with me until i gave him his smut scene. Ick. i HATE writing smut. i so completely SUCK at it. (pun totally not intended. see? that's how much i suck at it.)


maybe i should just call them Mirror Dance Act 1: Heartbound/ Act 2: Oathsworn.....?
nah.
