Ok, all you Arda writers.... Quit Making Me Cry! :)

This was a wonderful story! I love how Boromir comes to Faramir's aid, even in (near)death. I really, really liked this a lot. Very touching.

Author Reply: *grin* It has been said that my stories should come with tissues.

This is such a novel and touching interpretation of Faramir's healing. I'd like to think it really happened this way.

Author Reply: Thanks, Meckinock. I'd never really given any thought to the healing before, but, yeah, I think I'd like it to have happened this way too.

Lovely, Avon. You can feel how lost Faramir is, and yet love brings him home.

Author Reply: Thanks, Daw. That sums up exactly what I was hoping to get across.

“Another will take you now, Faramir.”

This is lovely!

Author Reply: Thanks! I was really worried that people wouldn't get the handover.

whoa! nice delivery w/ the sentiments and i loved the ending. it is always nice to find your way out of the shadows. it's nice ot have someone point out the "mistakes" beforehand. i hd no idea unnoticed wasn't a word! i probably mispelled it here along w/ mispelled. i hate spelling. again great fic!

if i sound kinda washed out, it's because it's 1:37 am here and i haven't slept all yesterday, good night!

Author Reply: Thanks! Spelling can be a pain, can't it? I can mostly only spell what I can hear - so double letters are my downfall; I just double everything on suspicion ;-)

I like stories where Boromir hangs around and helps the others from beyond the veil. And I can think of no-one he would want to help more than his little brother. It's good to see him handing the care of his brother over to Aragorn and the living.

Author Reply: Thanks for the feedback. I like to think of Aragorn taking care of Faramir for Boromir.

A lovely interpretation of Faramir's journey through that dark vale. Yes, it's AU, but who cares! Wonderful Boromir/Faramir interaction, you can feel the closeness of their bond. And I loved Boromir's giving Faramir to Aragorn's care for the final leap of the journey.

Author Reply: Thanks, Raksha. I like to see Aragorn as in some ways taking the role of big brother to Faramir - and I like to believe that Boromir knows and is more at peace because of that.
