"Starman"

by Agar

Rating: M, for SLASH/YAOI (this story contains a homosexual pairing, which will be central to the plot) violence, some gore, attempted suicide, and some language.

Summary: While the heros of Gaia enjoy their Happily Ever After, Vincent is stuck in the past with no hope for a future. Just when he thinks life isn't worth living, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of yet another quest to save the world...only this time it's a totally different planet, filled with matchmaking dwarves, dragons that act like dogs, and one human who refuses to leave Vincent alone. LotR/FF7 x-over. Vincent/Boromir slash.

Disclaimer: "The Lord of the Rings" and all related titles belong to J. R. R. Tolkien, New Line Cinema, and various publishers that are not me. "Final Fantasy VII" and all related titles belong to SquareEnix, or whatever they're calling themselves these days. Additional disclaimers pertaining to each chapter will be in the Author's Notes at the bottom of each chapter. The song "Starman" belongs to David Bowie. (Lyrics often inspire me, and I thought it would be fun to use a song that's over 30 years old because Vincent was stuck in a coffin for 30 years. David Bowie would have been the music of his generation, and a large part of Vincent's character is his inability to let go of the past.)

Hi everyone! Thanks for clicking on my fic. Sorry it's just the introduction, but I wanted to get all this information out of the way. The first part will be up by the end of the month, but then I have no idea how things will go. Might as well warn you all ahead of time I'm typically slow to post, but I already have some chapters finished, which should help.

I always said I would never write a Lord of the Rings fic, because I knew if I did it would end up spanning all 3 books and be absolutely HUGE. Yet here I am doing exactly that (although if you want to be picky it's a crossover...). I'm terrible at finishing fanfics, but I have a good feeling about this one. I'm really enjoying writing it. Plus, I have a brand spakin' new laptop with nice current software, which solves my previous technical problems with uploading documents to .

I blame all of this on Magic Rat for inspiring me with her fabulous Lord of the Rings and Final Fantasy VII fanfiction. You got me back into the fandoms, you devious little rodent.

Lastly, a big thank you to Phuq and Lady-Bloodrose for letting me rant about this fic and bounce ideas off your brains. Half the plot wouldn't be there if it weren't for you guys.
