| A thought, I must admit. Yet he now becomes the hope, and will join with the other now coming to the aid of the city. Author Reply: Yes:o but I don't know if at that moment he felt all that hopeful. thanks:) | |

| A vivid picture of that "grey and cold hour." Very poignant that Faramir looks back and realizes that the slide toward this bitter end began with the discovery of Boromir's death. *Sends Faramir hugs along with the 1st Cavalry Division for backup* Author Reply: *nods* Poor boy. He needs lots of hugs. Yes, I figured he'd be depressed enough just then to "wish that hadn't happened ever" Thanks! | |

| Sad and a bit scary, that Faramir has lost hope since he realized Boromir was truly gone. This drabble makes Faramir's desperate courage in leading this ill-starred mission, and bringing so many back alive, all the more praiseworthy. Faramir really does need a few dozen hugs, doesn't he?! Author Reply: I'm glad the despair element works. I was a little apprehensive about this drabble. The scene with Gandalf before Faramir leaves to defend the river says so much is so few words in the book - I've always found it very moving. Not to forget the buildup to that scene with Denethor earlier! A part of me likes to think Faramir was hopeful when he left but then when you see his words in the scene prior and Aragorn's words later of his grief that has pulled him down more than his injuries have, well, it occurred to me, he couldn't have been so very hopeful. I do think though that he didn't entirely lose hope when he saw Boromir in the river. He would have grieved yes, but I think what would have really broken him would have been the combination of the encounter with the Nazgul on returning to Minas Tirith plus his conversatuions with his father )where I think he gauges to some extent that his word is also beginning to despair) and most of all I think the battle scenrio right before he leaves. They are after all surrounded on all sides and have no idea when they'll get aid, if they will. but he would at that point see the confirmation of Boromir's passing as a pivotal moment, not just for him but also for Denethor. But yes, he overcomes all of that, he defends, and he even brings many of his men back alive. He does really need many many hugs *sigh* *hands over Faramir to Raksha for a while to huggle*:) Sorry for rambling so:o Thank you so much for reviewing! | |
