I'll be honest and admit that Faramir isn't my favourite character and I know very little about him compared to the others, but after reading this I have to say I have a new interest in him. It is very interesting to think how he would have adapted to life as Aragorn's steward. This was a nice mixture of established canon and your own insights into the characters, and using the White Tree as the focus of the piece was a brilliant idea.

Linda, you outdid yourself with this story! Unique, special in interpretation, I think it was good to read that even though we know Faramir will help Aragorn to restore Gondor completely in her valour and might, I haven’t read that many stories who actually tackle the problems the characters might have encountered. So yes, why not let them experience difficulties and letting them overcome the necessary hurdles?

To me it feels a clash of two Dunedain cultures combined with an upbringing and ghosts from the past that influences the characters still. I think that you gave us a troubled, but yet a very muchly in character Faramir here: fully unleashed when pushed to far and Aragorn, used to being a loner still has to adjust to governing so many while he is so uncertain if everything he went through is worth it. I love the way you picked the parts of the books to form a solid background for this story and fills in the small gaps in the story. One thought that crossed my mind suddenly and made me smile was that Aragorn comes across like a manual physiotherapist with his healing, since these specialists in modern medicine do exactly what you are writing: elvish healing indeed. Very Happy smiley face

This was a great read!
