| I love all the new details added to this chapter. I just saw the extended version of the Return of King and was a little disappointed at the brevity of the scene between Faramir and Eowyn. Thank goodness I have this story to make up for all the "missing scenes." Author Reply: I know. I ws sorely disappointed with the extended cut - there wasn't nearly enough of Éowyn and Faramir. The way their relationship was presented in the film annoyed me - there was no sense of the growth that was necessary for their love to develop. It looked completely shallow (even though they played it really well) and it didn't get to the heart of it at all! Sorry for ranting! Anyway, I'm glad this has made you feel better; hopefully I'll have the next chapter fairly soon. | |

| Brava! Brava! This is an excellent chapter, especially in comparison to the orginal version. You've added more depth and detail in rendering Eowyn's thoughts and feelings, especially their circular, or rather spiraling nature. It is definately worth the work that you put into it. As always, I'm looking forward to your next instalment. Author Reply: "Spiralling" So, so true. Éowyn needs someone to break her out of her tendency to fall in vicious circles of thought, which don't only undermine her relationship with Faramir, but, I think, help to produce her depression as well. I've always thought that the reason she was so 'cold' towards him was that she simply couldn't be sure that he loved her - that "Speak plainer" comment comes from massive frustration I think. Aragorn's rejection of her, and the fact that Faramir has not actually said anything, combine to make Éowyn doubt what I think she knows in her heart; that Faramir truly, deeply loves her. | |
