| Big Awwwwww moment, those two looking out on the plain, clinging together, the hair mingling; and you capture the wistful longing and nascent love in our favorite young Steward's heart. Author Reply: The only full scene E/F shippers received was 50 seconds long. So here I had fun analyzing the part over and over. A real hallmark of the Eowyn and Faramir's love is the image of their hair, raven and golden. So, a tribute to redhead Daisy Wenham: chestnut! I was a bit worried that I'd make Faramir's love thoughts too silly or too fake. All I know of love comes from books. I am very glad it came across well. Thank you again, Raksha the Demon! -Hriviel.

| You're giving us much more, and more finely detailed, scenes, than PJ did in the movie ROTK. I'm glad that you remembered Mablung, and spared him. Author Reply: Since PJ chose to keep the film mostly Frodo-centric, I tried to incorporate what Tolkien gave us in the book, but keep it true to what we see onscreen. I do have an obsession for details, such as the use of lavender to promote sleep in Eowyn's chamber, a story behind Boromir's vambraces, etc ... I put Mablung as a connection to the books. I couldn't bear killing off all the Rangers. :) Thanks for the review! Hriviel, the Winter Star | |

| Lovely! I just read the entire story. You did a nice job of simplifying the words from the book to make them more movie-ish. At least I'm assuming that it was you? I know that they've released the LOTR scripts and I've been wondering if it includes the deleted scenes? Anyway, I really enjoyed your story. It was a good piecing together of those two short scenes we get in the movie and helped explain what Faramir was doing when he first see's Eowyn. I hope you write more. LOTW Author Reply: Yep, it was me. But when the scene got too hard to "translate" I just tried to remain true. Sometimes, the modernizations made me cringe. In the beginning, I tried to stay PJ/Fran/Philippa faithful, but ended up with the story having a life of its own. I think i wasn't the only one who was confused with "why is he looking into her room?" haha. But i realy liked the idea that it was the first time he saw her. Anyway, thank you very much for the review! I appreciate it greatly. :) - Jenna. | |

| Oh, I wish you hadn't posted such a short chapter. I wanted to read more. So many people have dealt with this already, but your prose sounds a lot better than other authors'. I think this one would be well worth reading. Author Reply: Thanks, Jenni! You actually caught me in the middle of publishing. :) But the rest is up now. Hope you enjoy! | |
