This is my first Hobbit piece - and I said to the person that said I should do one that I didn't think I'd be good at getting the voice/speech right! Possibly why I've never strayed into Hobbitfic before.

Amazing! Beautifully done, I particularly liked this line: "A dry silence dropped over the room, punctuated only by the crackles from the fire and the slow, hollow rasps as Finduilas breathed." You've managed to capture the characters in their reactions to Finduilas's death perfectly. Bravo!

Well do you know, I think I musjudged my own writing Confused smiley face

I had in mind Finduilas about Denethor, but I've had people take it as Eowyn about Faramir, and even Faramir about Denethor. I think I over estimated the clearness of the writing! Surprised smiley face

Wonderful! I've always felt sorry for Grima, and reading that makes me moreso! I'm intrigued as to who the girl is at the end though?

Oh dear Eru, your story was amazing. Seriously, I'm not even going to add a smilie to that because it was just so...ah! Just so Denethor and just so perfect! My Denethor tends to get completely sentimental at times (or maybe he doesn't, but my portrayal of him does), but yours was just wonderful in his arrogance and realisation. I think the best way of putting it is canonnical! And trust me, that is definitely a complement!

I don't mind the nitpicking! I did notice the contradiction as I was writing it, but I was between two minds whether to keep it or not. I suppose I wanted that kinda idea that though they still feel strong about their loyalty to him, maybe they're not as free to express it as those who are singing the praises of Aragorn...meh, maybe I don't know what I was trying to do with it! *g*

Thanks for all the comments! *has never has this much response before*

Well, (would you believe!) I had Denethor in mind. We were discussing on a message board whether anyone in Gondor would really be thinking about Denethor once the joy of Aragorn's return. Basically, would anyone remember that their previous lord had just *died* now that the new one was there. As I was writing it kinda turned into a bit of a tribute to those who do still have the respect for the great man that Denethor was.

Ooh, I liked it! I think it feels like it could be part of a bigger piece - is that the intention? Two things I noticed though (hope you don't mind me pointing them out) - one spelling mistake in 'blossum', it should be 'blossom'. The other thing is just a matter of intepretation - you talk of Faramir's 'golden eyes'. I think it's a lovely description, but I think doesn't Faramir have grey eyes? It just hit me that gold and grey don't match and that maybe silver would be better - but that's just my personal intepretation Smile smiley face

I'd love to read what happens when Faramir does talk to Eowyn about Boromir! *sniff*

Thank you. Yeah, I wrote it quickly, hence me being too lazy to think of a rhyme Surprised smiley face

ops: Maybe I'll re-write it at some point, when I have more time!
