I can't believe nobody has reviewed this story yet! Let me be the first. It's so wonderful, and rare, to see Denethor treated with so much sympathy and given credit for being a decent father (when in his right mind) too. I liked Linwen. I'm only sorry this story is almost over! And chapter 6...you just ache for something like that to happen in the book, don't you? I hope you'll write more about this family.

A very warm interpretation of what could have happened in this troubled family. I was surprised when I read your note aout English not being your first language. Thanks for a great read and I'll be waiting for more.

Cheers

A very touching story, Lilan! I loved your sympathetic, yet realistic treatment of the Steward and his relationship with Faramir.

This was such a sweet, touching story. There was angst, but there was joy and humour as well. The ending had me in tears, but good ones, not bad. Great job.

Incredible. I haven't before read a story from Denethor's point of view like this. Very touching, and the end even more bittersweet--particularly as he didn't even realize that Sauron was still warping him, and tricking him into destroying his child.

It was so nice to read a Denethor story where he was shown as a father who was bumbling through parenthood, much as we do ourselves. I never doubted that he ever did not love Faramir, even though there were times where grief and rage took over.

Excellent prose, excellent grammar, and the bliss of reading a story without obvious typos!

I look forward to reading more of your work. Smile smiley face

Thanks for sharing the products of your imagination.
