Crying or Very sad smiley face 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 written, poignant, and hard to read (in the best sense of the word! it could hardly be a joy!) Strong use of characters and your ability to project the emotion of teh characyers into dialogue in description was wonderful. Well Done!

What a wonderful little story! It makes me want to give all three of those guys comforting hugs. And I like your idea of describing the events from Boromir's perspective.

Excellent! You did a great job limiting your expression at times to just what a child would think and not know. And a few moments really touched me - when Boromir says he'll take care of his father, for example. You planted the seeds here for so much of the brother's characters. Really well done.

I enjoyed this very much! I especially liked the scene between Adrahil and Boromir. I can definitely see Boromir trying so hard to be grown-up at this point. The unexpected niceness from Denethor at the end was a pleasant surprise too--I'm always happy when he's not a monster in fanfiction. Well done!

Great job. A truly wonderful story. I find that I do not have much I could add to what has already been said. Thank you for sharing. Drunk smiley face

This was featured again, so I read it, again. It still made me cry. It is so beautifully written and very real. The little things, like Faramir biting his fingernails, make this touching. Thank you, once again.
