Cities and Wilderness  by Larner 2 Review(s)

Oh my. The description of Frodo is heartbreaking. He's much too young to have silver hair! How his ordeal must have aged him. Sigh.

I love the picture of the two scholars sharing the excitement of the discovery, and Elessar's small pretense aimed at prolonging their joy. Lovely!

Awwwwwwww! Well, not cute exactly, but lovely all the same! I have never read many fics in this time period, and certainly not one like this! Leave Frodo to have more time with Faramir before he goes, yes!

The only thing amiss is that this scene is rather short.

But I say it was rather time for a Faramir, Aragorn, and Frodo one!
Wonderful, Aragorn is wise as always (in the books of course:)

Author Reply: i can't remember if this was a fixed-length ficlet, which would explain its short length. In my-verse, Aragorn asked Faramir and Frodo to look for precedents to show the Council so that they would approve decent payments to disabled soldiers as well as to widows and orphans. I susoect that he was proud to encourage the friendship growing between two he respected so much.

Yes, wise indeed!
