Nice stuff.
Oh, Merry...

"Merry, breathe!" Oh, that is too funny. And he's right about never hearing the end of it. I should love to know how long the next 'spar to the yield' match lasted. :D

I love this story Boromir is so cool

Well. Holding your breath while fighting someone with a sword might be a bit of a challenge. I'm surprised Merry lasted so long.
'He found it quite humorous that while Sam felt the Gondorian son of the Steward "too grand", he still felt comfortable calling the Heir of Isildur "Strider".' I find that amusing, too...
Glofindel and Gloin's appearances were great. So was the reference to The Hobbit.
I thought the fighting was really great. Boromir's detailed explanation of how to hamstring someone was... interesting. I laughed when Merry had to tell Pippin what Boromir meant about what the cup protects...
