| Ah, a lovely ceremony has been made of it, and one sees the transformation of Aragorn to THE KING clearly. Wonderful. Author Reply: I love writing Aragorn in all his kingly glory and am pleased you enjoyed the scene.Thank you for your much appreciated review. | |

| Aragorn has his moments of being very paternal - which is, I suspect, just what Faramir needs! I like the way he knows the special incantation. He is constantly surprising Faramir with all the things he has learned over his 90 or so years. It must be handy in some ways! And he can put on the splendour and dignity - just like the cat - and be impressively regal. He'd just rather not have to bother. And the way that Gudrun is clearly more impressed by Eowyn than Faramir is entertaining, there in Gondor. Although she remains determinedly independent. Aragorn and Faramir had better get a move on, though, or there will be a search party out looking for them. Author Reply: Yes, I think Faramir still needs a father to make up for how Denethor reated him and Aragorn is ideal,both to show him affection and tease him,as well has impress him at times ! I think the ladies will be about to summon a search party for their missing husbands! Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I had fun creating Gudrun ! | |

| Nice tale. I like how Aragorn did his transformation into Lordly King at just the right moment. Tolkien would be proud. Author Reply: Thank you for your much appreciated review.I am honoured that you think Tolkien would be proud ! | |

| No Faramir - chestnuts should not be boiled. You've missed half the fun if you haven't been roasting them on an open fire, with Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Gudrun has put the King and Steward in their place very well - somewhat below the cat. I'd have thought she might give Faramir a bit of concession for reflected glory, though - after all, he is married to the White Lady of Rohan, Theoden's niece and Eomer King's sister. Everything seems quite peaceful so far! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I have to admit I've never tasted chestnuts,or if I have I can't recall. Gudrun(And this author) Ough I agree,to have given Faramir some reflected glory. | |

| Faramir needs to chill, I think. Too long was he his father's son; now his lord seeks to aid him to appreciate simple life and the pleasantness of plain speaking. Ah, Aragorn is comfortable enough, and will teach his steward well. Author Reply: Poor Faramir has spent so long bound by endless protocol,he finds it hard to cast aside when appropriate.I think Aragorn is just the right person to teach him how to relax and not take plain speaking as an insult to the crown. THank you for your greatly appreciated review. | |

| 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 ! | |
