I absolutely love your imagery of Faramir as the eager young bridegroom, so distracted by thoughts of his bride that he has to hurt himself to break loose of his fantasies! And I can just imagine his frutration and impatience as he hurries home, only to be continually thwarted and waylaid.

Only a shieldmaiden could sing such a bloodthirsty song while tending to a mundane, housewifely duty. "Tuneless cheer" - what a description. The whole dinner scene is just so funny as it plays out in my head - Faramir alternately surprised, stunned, and amazed by the delicacies set out for him. And then..... YAY Eowyn! Showing her husband that he's not the only one who can learn useful things from books. And other places, as well. Wonderfully done!

Author Reply: Thanks for the lovely review! That song is there to remind the reader and Faramir that she is, well, a little different than your typical Gondorian housewife. :-)

The sitting room opened onto their bedchamber, and from his seat at the table, he looked with longing at the curtained bed and tried to remember every touch and every twining from the “Treatises.” Faramir wished he had taken notes.

Snork! Typical Faramir, to have so thoroughly researched and wishing to have taken notes, but it's just as well he didn't. You can't relax and enjoy so much if you're checking your notes. Faramir really needed to relax, his instinct for perfectionism was interfering with marital pleasure. And besides, checking his notes as he and Eowyn -ahem- progressed - would have been quite awkward.

And Eowyn is indeed a fair scholar, both beautiful and industrious in her pursuit of knowledge.

Let this tale be a valuable lesson to all readers about the importance of good research! Heeeee!

A lovely ending to an outstanding Faramir/Eowyn story. Thanx for such a wonderful gift!


Author Reply: Yes, good research is very important. :-)
I am glad you enjoyed it (especially since it was written for your birthday) and thanks for reviewing.
