I recognize him from my dreams. A wonderful concept! That was probably true.

I think this quite original and well done! I love that love that is instantly between the two, so very opposite the reaction of Denethor. *hugs Faramir* Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

A most moving vignette of one of the most seminal moments in Aragorn's life. I liked Hands, but this extended version is much improved.

Nice, short and sweet. One typo in PP #3, where me men should be my men. Fun read :-)

Isn't is a wondrous moment for the reader when Faramir opens his eyes and knows his king! I haven't tired of reading the various takes on it and this is a very good interpretation of how that moment came to be.

Very gripping and vivid... I especially liked the line "The darkness seems to cling to me as if a thing alive." It would have been a horrible place to be trapped in, and what a feeling it must have been to have felt that hand take his. I enjoyed this very much.
