ET's Dribs and Drabbles  by Elena Tiriel 4 Review(s)

Catching up on my reading... Hooray! :-)

This is a great glimpse of Faramir. It fits the way I think of him very well--so thoughtful and reasoning and willing to question assumptions. Of course, dwelling on these thoughts are going to lead him to a very nice reward. Well done!

Oh, my. I don't think I've ever really *noticed* that passage you quoted, at least, not to take in hand and turn it over and examine it curiously.

Good food for thought, and beautifully written.

Thanks!

Author Reply: Hi Lindelea!

Thank you for your great review! it was quite a nice birthday (plus one) gift, too....

Yes, I have never really thought much about that passage, either... but since Faramir and Éowyn were both under the influence of Shadow sickness, that passage about Men of Shadow popped into my mind... I always thought it was an unfair characterization, so I liked twisting it on its head. LOLOL!

Thanks!

Author Reply: Er, serves me right for answering while distracted... of course, the Rohirrim were Men of the Twilight, not Men of Shadow... but that passage did come to mind when I thought of the Shadow affecting both Faramir and Éowyn....

Very nice ficlet - I liked Faramir's observations of Eomer's attention to Eowyn. Something tells me the Houses of Healing are in for some sunshine soon! (alliterating in admiration...)

Author Reply: Hi Raksha!

Wow! Alliterating in admiration... I am so honored! Thank you! ;-)

Yes, I think this drabble sheds light on Éomer, too... and I'm rather fond of hunky Rohirrim men, myself... LOLOL!

*distracted by two good-looking men in the same drabble....*

Thanks for your kind words!

Ah, what a wonderful moment of epiphany, as he sees that the same darkness that sought him is loosing its hold on Eowyn as well.

Author Reply: Hi Larner!

Yes, indeed, I think Faramir would recognize the similarity in their afflictions, and respond to that shared experience....

Thanks for your kind words!
