Tolkien quote of the day:

‘I’ll not deny we should be glad to have you about for a bit. You see, we’re not used to such troubles; and the Rangers have all gone away, folk tell me. I don’t think we’ve rightly understood till now what they did for us. For there’s been worse than robbers about. Wolves were howling round the fences last winter. And there’s dark shapes in the woods, dreadful things that it makes the blood run cold to think of. It’s been very disturbing, if you understand me.’

bullet The Steward and the King by Shieldmaiden of Rohan Last Updated: 9/27/2006
A possible answer for my question of whether Faramir knew before the coronation that he would remain the Steward once Aragorn was crowned King. Ties into ch. 27-28 of "An Act of Desperation", but hopefully can stand on its own.

bullet Meetings and Counsel (Drabbling the CoE Aftermath) by Wayfarer Last Updated: 9/21/2006
FULL TITLE - Meetings and Counsel: Drabbling the Aftermath of the Council of Elrond (An occassional series). "The Council of Elrond" is a pivotal chapter in LotR, bringing many many characters together, almost like a ME equivalent of a UN conference. This is a drabble series to fill some of the gaps relojes replicas the good Prof left us to ponder. Chronology random. (Canon-conscientious. Constructive criticism most welcome.)
