In The Forests of the Night  by Fionnabhair Nic Aillil 3 Review(s)

I loved the interaction between Faramir, Aragorn and Arwen! A lovely notion that Faramir's decision to wed a woman who will die before he does resonates with Arwen's (and Luthien's) choice. And I could just see Faramir almost-daring Aragorn to object to the proposed marriage with Eowyn.

I would think that, given the close ties between the Fellowship, and the links they forged to the Rohirrim, that Merry and Pippin would have told Aragorn of Faramir's interest in Eowyn. And many people saw Faramir and Eowyn smooching on the walls; surely Aragorn heard something to indicate that a new alliance was being forged there...

Welcome back! I had indeed despaired of hearing from you again.

Your revision continues to improve a story that was already good. Though it is not necessary, I think that you have made the story better by bring it more in line with the book.

That Arwen continues to think of Eowyn as a "girl" inspite of Arwen's increased understanding and respect, rings true. No matter how great their deeds or wisdom, Men must always seem immature to Elves who always have accomplished more during their much longer lives.

Thanks again, BKB
