Very fun! I'm not sure (and, yes, I sound like a grumpy old man even as I write this) that I agree with your characterization of Denethor but I sure did enjoy it! You certainly did capture some important aspects of his character and daily life - the mundane aspects of a ruler's duties, D's preoccupation with Boromir and love for his wife. The basis of all good comedy is serious character study. Good job.

LBJ! What a lovely surprise! I will have to seek out the rest of your work ... I loved this story for its cleverness, its clever complicated characters, but particularly for the narrator's wry tone! Excellent.

A really nicely imagined moment, Ellisk; holding a somewhat jaundiced view of Thranduil myself I liked the mix of nobility, strength, gold- and silver-love I heard in your characterization.

Laughing smiley face Reminds me of a line from "The Hitchhiker's Guide": "looks like a fish, steers like a cow." Again, I love a drabble that reads as though it hasn't been written with a shoehorn and a carving knife (like so many of mine do Smile smiley face ). Nice job, Weavil.

I think you captured the moment well, this is a vivid portrait.

I particularly liked that you made a point of this being their first time, and the time that would start a completely new phase of their lives. So much [smut] portrays experienced characters (Haldir particularly), doing what they know well how to do and will do again tomorrow pretty much the same. The newness here was refreshing.

Really excellent, Thuri, a lovely twist on my expectations for this drabble. You really run the gamut here: pride, humility, adoration, wonder, love and humor! Well done.

Very sweet, very winning. The "wow" distracted me, however. Always knew it was Faramir! That softie ...

Very good. Finding a new perspective on an oft written-about character is hard to do.
