very very nice, and bursting with plot bunnies!

did the rangers resent faramir's actions, or did they understand his difficult realtionship with his father and follow him willingly?

did denethor really expect faramir to go, or was it a test?

and the families of those who were killed - did they accept it as a fact of war, or resent faramir for leading their loved ones to their doom?

did any of the common citizens of gondor understand denethor's mental state? boromir says at the council that his father's rule is failing, but how exactly did he mean that?

that's one big can of worms you just opened in my head! Shocked smiley face

That was so bittersweet and very moving. A very clever use of 100 words. The change of emotions mid-way through caught me off guard.

I've read this a couple of times and tried to think of something insightful to say in this review, but I'll have to settle for agreeing with those who have posted above. Heartbreaking and powerful. well-done.

Very nicely done! You brought so much to the table with this drabble in such a short space and you made it very bittersweet and indeed most powerful. I really enjoyed this glimpse into Faramir's thoughts and frame of mind.

Wonderful!! I loved this very much. Short, to the point, and meaningful. And so powerful in its brevity.

Shocked smiley face What? No Haldir smut? Shocked smiley face Sorry Surprised smiley faceops:

This was quite a beautiful glimpse of Denethor, and a said contrast of what he was and what he became. Heartbreaking for Faramir to hearken back to before his father's madness set in, and to know, in his wisdom, that men died because of that same madness. All done in your typically lovely and subtle prose. No word wasted, it is absolutely hauntingly beautiful, Roh.
