Thank you so much for such a heart warming story , so many wonderful moments between the brothers. I especially liked Boromir's summation to Faramir that following the dictates of conscience was never wrong. ANd I really loved the (literal) punchline with Faramir ambushing Boromir as he was leaving. Great stuff! Shows the love between them so well, and the caring. That Faramir would react to such horrible suffering in such a fashion, even from an orc, is precisely in character. Also the story makes plausible his remarkbly accurate shooting against the fell beast in TTT. Well done!

This gave a smile. Thanks, Nancy! It was at once warmly affectionate, and also touching and sort of (oddly) sad, too, as with Boromir's wish, and I take it, the realisation that Faramir gets hurt too? THink I laughed most at Pippin's wish. Indeed. I'm sure he'd say that many times after the War!

The Hands of the Steward · Fri Oct 15, 2004 6:42 am

This story is a true treat! Like an addition to the movie. (and a clever and intelligent one at that). Totally in character not only for Faramir, but all else at the discussion. It shows Faramir's strength and command abilities. I can almost see Boromir smiling proudly in the background. Love also Aragorn's compassion and determined healer's approach. Really liked having Gimli rebuked for sitting in the Steward's chair. (I adore Gimli, but that was going too far.. not least simple respect for the dead). Love the interaction between Gandalf and Faramir, that Faramir accepts his old friend's advice without umbrage where he may have taken insult from anyone else. Like the way he delcares his loyalty to Aragorn King, but still stands his ground about being advised of how best his troops can serve. His reaction to the deaths of the Rangers is moving. Really like Pippin's portrayal too. And Eomer! Also the mention of Boromir is very deft, and touching. Great piece of 'missing scene' writing! THANK YOU

Like the way you portray the interelationships of the characters, particularly in Ch 1. Hope to see more dialogue between Boromir and Aragorn, and more action as they hopefully try to figure out what's happened to Ithilien and Legolas. Think you have tone of voice right on target especially for Boromir and as a huge Boromri fan really enjoy seeing him still among the living and being Steward to Aragorn King. good work! More please
Oh also love the way Eldarion is drawn to Boromir and his (Boromir's) awkward kindness and remarks about elves!
