At the Rising of the Moon  by Linda Hoyland 3 Review(s)

This seems to promise a happy ending to Another Tale - but I cannot believe that Aragorn and Faramir will be able to go out and return safely without some disaster striking them on the way! It would go against Nature.

Elbeth is a seriously cute addition to the cast. Long may she retain the belief that kissing is icky and that Strider is hers to command!

Author Reply: Maybe Nature is having a Christmas truce with our beleagured heroes ?I decided to see if I could write a tale without torturing them !

As I said on the Other Site, this might be a dream,an AU or what really happens,only time will tell !

I think Strider will always be at Elbeth's command,somehow !

Many thanks for your much appreciated review.

A great holiday story so far! I liked the description of the decorations.

Loved Faramir's protestation that he had recently written a poem to Eowyn - romance includes flowers and festivity as well as poems; but, being a mere man, Faramir probably doesn't understand such nuance.

Elbeth and Aragorn's dialogue about the healing properties of mistletoe was amusing.

Author Reply: Poor Faramir,he just doesn't understand that Eowyn wants more than a poem,nice romantic gesture though it is.
I think Elbeth is more interested in the practical properties of mistletoe.
Many thanks for your much appreciated review.

What difficulties indeed can the two of them get into? As if the Queen weren't completely correct the two of them always seem to draw some serious problems to them! Heh! Will be interested in seeing this story continue.

Author Reply: I'm not intending anything other thansome light hearted holiday fun for our heroes but getting the mistletoe is unlikely to be too easy !Many thanks for your much appreciated comment,my first on this site !
