| Trust Merry to fill in the missing details! (I love that hobbit. And I love Faramir's promise to credit him with the role he played in bringing Éowyn and Faramir together.) (Was Aragorn not worried about Éowyn having lingering effects of the Black Breath in a similar way to Faramir?) Finally! The hobbits are on their way back home! Took them long enough! (And it will still take them too long! If I'm remembering right, they meet Saruman on the road, on his way to the Shire. How much damage could have been prevented if they had got back to the Shire before he did, or at least some weeks earlier than they did?) Oh, yes, Faramir! Visit them in the Shire! You'll love it! (At least, I think he should love it.) And of course Pippin is always looking forward to the prospect of another party. Very believable. “I will cook coneys and think of you,” said Sam as Faramir guided him into a hug. Sam’s face was red again but he was glad for Faramir’s hug. He would miss him very much as Faramir had become his favorite big person aside from Strider. His down to earth ways and wisdom was second to no other Big Person he had ever met. Awww. Sam is so sweet here. I love the rest of the conversation between him and Faramir, too, and that Faramir honours him as a gardener. "strong ally and friend" (happy sigh) Hmmm. Another dream, and the King is away for some time. I'm glad Imrahil is there. (And they're in Edoras! Isn't Éomer's future bride Imrahil's daughter? Is she there too?) I can relate to Faramir; some mornings, all I want is coffee, too. The remembering at the end of the chapter is sweet and bittersweet. Lovely chapter. Author Reply: I love Merry too and it shows because i write a a lot of fic centering on him. I think he's a bit easier to write than Sam because Sam has a particular voice to get right. There should be a fic of Faramir visiting the Shire. :) Thanks for liking Sam here- he is always a sweet one. Yes, dreams are not over yet but we will be sure Faramir has someone to confide in. Thank you for liking this chapter! (Was Aragorn not worried about Éowyn having lingering effects of the Black Breath in a similar way to Faramir?) That is a good point- upon rewrite/revision of the story, i could add in that suggestion on if Eowyn suffers at all and have Faramir and ARagorn be there for her. I think perhaps during the anniversary of the slaying of the Witch-king, perhaps Eowyn will suffer as well. It is an interesting idea to think about and address. Thank you. | |

| It’s a long road to recovery with many setbacks, but with Eowyn and Imrahil on the job Faramir will be well looked after… Thx for sharing! Author Reply: Thank you! yes, i am glad that they are there for Faramir. It is a long road to recovery and glad there are so many that show they care for Faramir. :) | |

| “You can anchor him in the present That's wonderful advice for all of us. Such heartfelt farewells! :) Author Reply: Thank you so much! Tolkien didn't write as many farewells as needed so we need to fill those gaps. | |
