I am loving this story... most especially because it is leading toward the story of Eowyn and Faramir's courtship. I hope this part will come soon! I have been searching the net for stories of that, and have found next to nothing. Please continue!

Author Reply: See the sequel: 'The Steward and the Queen' for Faramir and Eowyn's courtship. I hope you won't be disappointed.

Oh my! There's no more! Even thought he title says, The Siege of Minas TIrith, and the siege is clearly over, I wasn't expecting this to end here. Yet this was a fitting place to end it, and an wonderful ending it was. Pippin isn't the same as he had been, which is both a blessing and a pity. I can be proud of his growth at the same time mourning his loss of innocence. And such a cute joke to end it with. Very well done.

I guess I'll just have to go read the rest of your stories while I'm waiting for you to write the Black Gate. Hope you get some inspiration soon.

This has been a amazing read! Start to finish a gripping blend of book canon and movie-verse, plus other elements, that in spite of marking it as AU, seem to ring true to JRRT's vision. You are extremely well versed in the history of the Two Kingdoms. My congratulations to you, and I look forward to the sequel.

I don't understand why the Steward's chair was removed? It strikes me as poor payment for nearly 1000 years of the Stewards holding Gondor together during the Kings' absence. And unless someone said something that I missed, Faramir is still Steward of Gondor, though not a ruling Steward.

I liked Pippin's remarks about Aragorn's hair. Nice touch, the three ladies dressing and arming him, very ceremonial...

Looking forward to the sequel.

Author Reply: Hurin had the chair removed as a sign the Stewards no longer ruled in Gondor. You understand it was not an original fixture but put up by the ruling Stewards because they would not sit on the throne. And considering that the whole reason the throne has been empty all these centuries is the Stewards' refusal to accept Isildur's Heirs as their king they really can't claim all that much credit for holding things together.
