| He smiled slightly. "I am not king yet, Faramir." "But you will be!" he said. "Gondor has no need for me now." "You underestimate your value, son of Denethor," said Aragorn. "She has need of you. Her people have need of you. I have need you." He held out his hand. "Come, Faramir. There are many who await your return." …. reminds me of “Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.” But “I need you. Your father needs you. Gondor needs you.” to Faramir. Faramir and Boromir are complete opposites in this: Boromir thinks they need no king; Faramir, on the RotK, thinks they need no Steward. Also nice coming right after the previous where Estel chooses Athelas. | |

| I really did enjoy your take on Aragorn's healing of Faramir. Your Aragorn shows the right measure of determined and compassionate perseverance and I like the idea of Faramir envisioning Ithilien as a wasteland before touching Aragorn's hand.

| Over the years I've read a number of these Aragorn-searches-for-someone's-soul fics, whether Faramir, Frodo, Sam, Merry, or Éowyn ... probably Pip as well. This is definitely a good one. Faramir seeing Ithilien as a wasteland was an especially good touch. I also liked The moment their palms touched, the barren world about them suddenly flew away. And the fact that the Aragorn Faramir saw when he woke was quite different from the figure who appeared in his delirium (though being Faramir, he had no difficulty recognizing him). Author Reply: Thank you! Quite the compliment, considering how many there are! Heh, people seem to forget that Ithilien is Faramir's really special spot... :) Thank you for reviewing! | |
