It was absolutely delicious. I can't stop reading and re-reading it! How about a sequel where Eowyn shows up 9 months later after Aragorn and Arwen have wed, and she has a new baby!

I enjoy Eowyn/Faramir stuff because that is the pairing the great Tolkien chose, but my personal pref is for Eowyn/Aragorn. The lass from Rohan just doesn't jibe with anyone other than those two and this fic was a good jibing. Wink smiley face

I appreciate that the typical smut crudities were minimized -- it sets it apart from the pack, so to speak. I did notice a typo about Aragorn's chest or something. You had "if" instead of "of". I don't know if you like to correct mistakes like that? If I would have left anything out, it was the bulge through the armor. I think the jist of it could have been brought across without delving into the Iron Rod of Gondor. Very Happy smiley face

Overall, an enjoyable read for a work break!

If only all examples of this genre was as well written! Excellent use of character driven narrative, dialogue that rings true and suits the situation and excellent turns of phrase. Well Done!

Well, I looked for the "if" bit, and I couldn't find it. I guess I've just read it all so many times I've convinced myself it's right. But yes, I prefer to fix those things. And I went back and took out the, er, Iron Rod of Gondor. Shocked smiley face

I'd had some qualms about it in the beginning, but was just too lazy to resituate the dialogue. But I think the revision works okay.

Thank you very much for your helpful suggestions! This is what fic writing is all about for me (though the ego part of me adores squealy-happy reviews, of course Smile smiley face

... thank you so much everyone, for reading and feeding back!)

Here's the line with the "if" -- did "Find" and found it. You know how many "if"s are in this fic? "beautiful" "life" and just plain "if"? Very Happy smiley face

"Eowyn’s eyes soaked in the sight if his broad, powerful chest. "

I hear you about the ego part, but I love CC/suggestions more because it shows the reader is actually thinking about the story rather than just reading it. Someone told me that means the brain is involved and not just the eyes. I don't think they meant that as an insult, though! LOL Glad to be of help and it was a pleasure to read. Bounce smiley face

All fixed! (I think) Also went through and looked for other things. Sheesh. Amazing how not reading a story for a few weeks can make all those little oppses just pop right out. Smile smiley face

Thank you so much for the suggestions, Gaslight. Half of the fun of writing is knowing that I'm getting better at it; and feedback like yours certainly makes that more likely.

Wonderful, just wonderful...lovely all the way through. Damn Eowyn got lucky!

But Eowyn should know this: Horses do remember, and do have their preferences. Smile smiley face

Really? I have to confess to not being much of a horse person. So I appreciate any and all horsy advice. And I'll wander back in there and see if I can rewrite that smidge. Smile smiley face

Yeah, I know it's just a silly little pwp, but fixing up a piece is at least as much fun as writing it the first time.

Thanks so much for the review and suggestion!

That was absolutely incredible. By far the best smut/sex scene I've ever read, and pathetically perverted person that I am, I've read quite a few. Wink smiley face

It was positively decadent. Great job.

Aragorn and Eowyn is my favorite pair too. Not really a fan of Arwen. Eowyn certainly was a lucky girl and wouldn't I like to trade places with her. Yeah, she could be reading the story and I ... Well I'll leave it at... I Really enjoyed it. Wink smiley face
