*waves* Yes, it's me! This was also my LJ name until about a year ago. I'm not even sure how I would go about changing it over here. Thanks for stopping by to say hello!

Ah, Ann, such a wonderful, wonderful story! Lovely! Mist appearing to steal the fields? Ah, the wonder of children!
Author's reply
I've walked through rolling fields in late summer when they are blanketed by mist, muffling even the birdsong. Though lovely, the sight is disturbing; how much more so for an imaginative child! I'm glad he was able to find a meaningful reason for it all. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Oh how lovely - beautiful language and a beautiful moment between father and son. It's obvious how much Faramir loves and values his son; this is one relationship that won't end in flames.

Sometimes I go walking in the early morning in a park with rolling hills and fields; when the mist is rising it's like walking through a cloud. That was what I was hoping to convey here, along with Elboron's breathless wonder (and insightful theory.) Sounds like I was successful on all counts. Thanks for reading and commenting!

This is just lovely. What a magical, precious moment between father and son.

Thank you! These two are modeled after a father and son I've encountered at school, a homeschooler and his doting dad. The young man is lively and curious; the father is warm and very supportive, not only to his own children but to the community. I never wrote Faramir and Elboron until I met these two wonderful role models. I wonder what they'd say if they knew? Your wonderfully encouraging comments are always appreciated!

Truly vivid and lovely. Clever little boy that!

Crossing Faramir's dreaminess and imagination with Eowyn's pragmatism and resourcefulness produces quite an articulate and determined little boy. He's a joy to write. Thank you for reading and commenting!
