I really enjoyed this glimpse into Rosie's mind after the war. It's a lovely scene of contentment, with just a little edge of wistfulness. Will there be more? You could easily go on from here! *looks hopeful*

I really enjoyed this! It's a lovely and original piece of anti-fanon. I've often wondered why anyone in the family would want to name Faramir after the man who brought such a crisis to Gondor, and your idea is both intriguing and thoroughly believable. The poem format is so economical; I can just see little Boromir bouncing at the beginning, and Denethor's reaction comes through powerfully in a few swift strokes. I'm very impressed!

Viv! I'm happy to see that you're still in the fandom, and still in top form. This vignette has a wonderful mix of effortless canon detail and sly humor that really made me smile.

I found this story thoroughly charming! I smiled all through it. You've beautifully captured Pippin's thoughts and his relationship with others, particularly Merry and Frodo; I especially like Frodo's slight unearthliness at the end, with his almost eerie perceptiveness and his predictions. You also managed to capture the "feel" of Shire society in just a few strokes. Great job!

Hi! I found this through the "story of the day" feature, and I'm glad I did! There is so little fanfiction about this really fascinating period in the history of Men, and I think you've done a very good job sketching in those dark days in Numenor with just a few strokes. I also like the way you've characterized Elendil and Isildur and their dispute. (To be honest, Isildur sounded so convincing at first that I was a little afraid that the message of the story was going to be that he was right! I was relieved when it wasn't.)

I'm going to recommend this story at the Brothers of Gondor board!

The prologue is promising. This is such a fascinating period in Middle-Earth's history. Will there be more?

A very enjoyable (though sad) picture of the friendship between the two characters, and how they could support each other in bad times.

I had a good chuckle at this! I wouldn't worry too much about whether the "wardrobe elf" is OOC; it's perfectly acceptable for humor purposes, I think. Anyway, thanks for a cute story that made me smile when I'm sick!

I really enjoyed this. The backstory of Arathorn and Gilraen offers so many tantalizing hints, and you made good use of them. I really feel for the parents.

Very enjoyable! What a shame Boromir never had a chance to put his learning into practice. And Denethor as the unyielding taskmaster seems very true.

I'm reccing this at the Brothers of Gondor board!
