This story has many wonderful details and is well and fully conceived. I particularly loved that Gimli puts his trust in "rock and stone" while Faramir sees only the people who dwell there; also very nice to have Boromir brought up to Pippin by Aragorn.

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

Terrific! Any chance that you wrote this piece about three years ago and slipped it to Peter Jackson? Would certainly be a welcome scene in ROTK.
Cheers
Very Happy smiley face
