Raksha The Demon · 15 September 2005 · Chapter 9: Cushions and Contractions

Sweat-streaked sparring Dunedain - and then they start stripping off shirts! I think a Faramir/Aragorn sparring scene should be regularly featured in your stories. Nice humorous bits about Aragorn's disheveled hair. Aragorn's pleasure at Faramir's good state of health and relaxed emotional state seems strangely ominous...I keep hearing the shark theme from the movie JAWS in my head...

Thank you for sending my first review of this for several days !I'm pleased you liked the sparring scene.It was fun to write and a theme Imay return to in future. I had them change their shirts for several reasons, to please their wives,also to please my readers and then to show how comfortable Faramir now was with Aragorn after being so shy in Shadow and Thought. You are quite right,cue ominous music !

I'm glad to see Eowyn and Arwen getting on so well. And Hanna has escaped and seized Elbeth? That doesn't sound good. It's not as if she was good at looking after the kid before. Elf/human pregnancy - imagine an extra three months of expecting a baby! Arwen should keep her fingers crossed for a simple nine months.

Very funny - it was lovely to see Arwen and Eowyn written with a sense of humor.

I am enjoying a re-read of this story on this site. Thanks for putting it here.

This is a wicked story. Of the kind much appreciated by wives. Who know just when to hint at it with a knowing twinkle - and subdue their husbands. Poor perfect elf. He's not accustomed to such humiliation. A very funny incident.

Am glad to see this one posted here as well. It's been a wonderful tale to follow, I must say, and I was glad to read it to the end. Won't read the whole thing here, but am very glad it is gracing this site.
