| Wow - this story is very moving. I like the weaving in of film flashbacks, and the astonishing parental love is so strong. A very nice job with characterization and emotion - a good read. |

That was fabulous. Very well written and totally believable. I love the way you've woven the parts together to give such a beauitful story.
Well done, I shall most definately be keeping an eye open for more of your stories. |

Thank you both (gariotin and linweseregon) for the great comments. One of the things that went a long way toward the inspiration was a screen cap of one of the deleted scenes in the Houses of Healing, showing Aragorn with Faramir (hey, I would have given up seeing Sam's wedding in order to have had those scenes put back in).
I've got a few ideas floating around in my head, and hope (after some more research) to be starting on another story shortly.
Thanks again.  |

| I'm surprised to be only the fourth person to review this story. It really is lovely. A smidge heavy, perhaps, but that's what you'd expect with this sort of subject matter! I think you handled some delicate issues very well, and your characterisation of Boromir was just fabulous. Aragorn confused me, especially early on when he just sort of abandoned Faramir. But he more than made up for it in the end. The only real weaknesses in this story are nitpicky things. A very good beta would be able to smooth those rough edges out (for instance: "It was perhaps worse to reached [reach] Faramir's bedside and see that the Steward looked not much different than he did every day, except for the paleness of his skin, and the sheen of perspiration that shown [shone] on his face"), but I don't think the minor errors detract much from the power of the piece. |

| Aahhh.... A very interesting take on a possible outcome of Aragorn's early time in Gondor and I love the characterisations of Faramir and Boromir in particular. Nicely done and thanks. |
