| Even before beginning to read, I must tell you, I really like the title of this chapter. It sounds poetic and bittersweet. It's interesting how smells can have an effect on the emotions. I can still remember the smell of my grandmother's house, a kind of fairyland of hidden treasures, at least in a small child's eyes. I'm glad to see Faramir's progress in healing. It's also lovely to see him bolstering Éowyn in her own fight against dark memory and the Black Breath. You did an excellent job of describing the effects she felt, including her sword arm going cold and numb. (I'm with Éowyn in that Gríma always makes me shudder. I can't imagine how awful it would be to have real memories of him.) “Let us not linger in the past….” Both of them express the idea of remembering that the shadow was defeated and it is now time to look to the future, which seems wise. It will be lovely to see Belegion again! (Might I put in a small request to see Beregond interact with Faramir and, perhaps, Éowyn? He is, after all, the Captain of the White Company serving Faramir now. Beregond is my favourite Man amongst the Men of Gondor for various reasons, including his fierce loyalty to Faramir, his eager curiosity about other lands, and his fast friendship with Pippin.) Author Reply: Thank you so much! I like the title of the chapter a lot too so glad someone agrees! Thank you for liking the description there- i did enjoy writing that part because we haven't had a lot of Faramir/Eowyn scenes and to have them heal each other and open up in each other's company was great to do. “Let us not linger in the past….” Both of them express the idea of remembering that the shadow was defeated and it is now time to look to the future, which seems wise. I agree- it will take time but acknowledging the steps together is important and until now, there was not enough of that affirmation. It'll be nice to write them healing more together post-Quest. Thank you for mentioning Beregond because yes, i do wonder where he is in this story. I was mentioning several nights ago to Grey_wonderer where he is (you totally read my mind) so maybe a rewrite is needed to insert him in a prior chapter or something and repost. I do like Beregond too- sometimes he talks to me. I have another story having him in it that needs to be posted. THanks for your thoughtful thoughts! | |

| They talked more about the future then, their hearts craving healing more than despair of the past. That's so lovely. Much of what you write applies to your readers (like me) as well as your characters. Paths to healing are those we should all be taking. :) Author Reply: Thank you! i know that life throws us so many different trials and what resonates with me about LoTR is that even though there is loss there is light and it is up to all the characters to find that. <3 | |
