Sometimes the small, native flowers are in the end more delightful than gardens of more showy blooms! I feel with Arwen here!

Excellent drabble! Alas, the pin is mightier than the sword in this instance.

A sweet rendition of Faramir's choosing his mother's starry mantle for the woman who would become his wife. I think Finduilas would have approved!

Larner · 5 January 2010 · Chapter 6: Mightier than the Sword
Hehehe! To think that the High King of the West faces his wife's sewing accoutrements with more concern than he does sworn enemies! I love the idea of the guards snickering as they return to their posts!
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased this made you smile. it was an idea of Rakha's as I was stuck!
Larner · 5 January 2010 · Chapter 5: Adorned with stars
Surely the mantle would have been kept in a chest of aromatic wood to fend off moths and other pests! And what a fair one, the lady to whom he would gift it! No, his mother would not begrudge the gift, I think.

Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked my interpretation of the gifting of the cloak!

So, this time he is the one who is green--youthful and not quite of his full growth as yet--but he has seen his star!
Larner · 5 January 2010 · Chapter 3: Bright as the sun
This is a beautiful image--our golden-haired White Lady and the primrose, both brightening under the sun!
shirebound · 5 January 2010 · Chapter 5: Adorned with stars
It's nice to see Faramir happy and smiling. That would surely bring his mother joy.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I agree Faramir's mother would rejoice for him.

I hope the guards called for relief so they could go far enough away to laugh without A and A hearing them! I suspect Arwen would enjoy their laughter, but Aragorn would think of some devious punishment for sure. Delightful.

Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed this idea of Raksha's. I agree about the guards!

Ah yes, The Moment comes for Faramir and he may be one of those High Numenoreans, but he's still vulnerable to the lure of a pretty blonde, even one who's not looking to reel him in... Seriously, very nice drabble!
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed this as I consider you the expert on Faramir and Eowyn romance!
Larner · 5 December 2009 · Chapter 2: A Cat may look at a King
Not only does this cat look at a King, it ACTS like a King as well! Or perhaps it is merely that Men who become kings tend to act rather cat-like--masters of all they survey! Love the capturing of the color here.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review. It is like rge paradox of the egg and the chicken! I'm pleased you liked the use of colour,I have two orange cats who remind me who is boss!

Heh! Naughty boy! This drabble captures the essence of the moment nicely. :D

Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you enjoyed my drabble.
Raksha The Demon · 2 December 2009 · Chapter 2: A Cat may look at a King
I'd vote for the cat looking more kingly; especially since it didn't have to worry about politics, warfare, and tax collection. Cute drabble!
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review. Cats can live the life that children dream kings lead.Mine are clustered round the fire and get to eat before I do!I'm pleased you enjoyed this.
Raksha The Demon · 2 December 2009 · Chapter 1: Cherry Ripe
It seems this young Heir of Isildur (and Earendil and lots of others) is as prone to mischief as any other small boy - cute vignette with good descriptions.
Author's reply
Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I like to see Eldarion as a normal little boy despite his lineage>maybe my love of the "William" books is showing again?

I know that temptation very well! "Resistance is futile" *grin*

Many thanks for your much appreciated review. Resistance is indeed futile where cherries are concerned! It makes my mouth water to write about them even!
