More Faramir drabbles  by Nesta 6 Review(s)

Wow, you're good with twists, aren't you? Well, we know his dream will come true... Don't worry Fara, it's nearly over, I promise!

It's sad that he really doesn't ask much, just peace, and that he can't have it.

At least THIS dream came true in the end. Marvelous foreshadowing.

Author Reply: Yes, it must have been wonderful to think that things like that could really happen. It reminds me a little of growing up before the fall of the Soviet bloc: we just never dreamed that it would cease to exist in our lifetimes, and we were brought up to think it was an ever-present menace, lilke Mordor. Alas, the joy and relief at its fall very soon turned sour. Apparently the same thing happened in Middle Earth as well (return of the Shadow), but not in Faramir's lifetime.

How it must have hurt Faramir to awaken and realize it was only a dream, and that Mordor still threatened all he loved. What's neat is that the dream foretells what Ithilien will become under his care after the nightmare of Sauron's threat is forever ended.

Very well done.

Author Reply: Thanks, Raksha! I like happy endings - though this one didn't come without a fairly heavy price, of course.

This was nice and fooled me as to the time frame. I'm glad Faramir's dream was realized.

Author Reply: Yes, it's nice to know that things occasionally come out right.

Funnily enough, I think that Faramir is rather like Sam Gamgee in his view of the world - liking peace and quiet, and gardens, etc. Perhaps that's why Sam and Faramir get on so well once Sam's been put in his place!

Very lovely all of them. I especially like the one about the key. Now there's a smart bridegroom.....dang, why aren't I Eowyn? lol

Author Reply: Thanks! Be warned though - the queue to be Eowyn is extremely long and I'm at the head of it - I hope.

I loved the twist in this, but at least we know that one day Faramir's dream will come true.

Author Reply: Yes, and Ithilien must have been a perfect place to live once they'd got rid of the orcs and other nasties!
