| Wonderful!! I'm so happy for Ragnhild and Borondir :-) And Faramir is waking! *sigh :-)* Author Reply: I do look forward to watching their love grow - won't he be a blessing to Gondor once he is back in Minas Tirith! | |

| Finally! Interesting that it was a lullaby sung by Thorongil and Indis that brought Faramir back. I would have thought that Aragorn might have psychically called him, with a king's healing voice and power. What's to prevent Faramir from slipping back into a coma under the stress of his bereavement - we saw him wracked by nightmares earlier in the story; he needs to be strong enough to withstand them now. I'm so glad you didn't kill off Eomund! Bad enough to see Beregond's father die! In answer to your reply to one of my earlier reviews - I do hope you will have Faramir in Henneth Annun when Frodo and Sam and Gollum are abroad in Ithilien in 3019 - don't take Faramir's contribution to the Ring quest away from him. As Steward, it would have been his right to visit his troops, and he would have had considerable military training and probably experience. There is no reason to send Imrahil or any Swan Knight to Henneth Annun - they would be out of place there in 3019, there would be too much need for them in Minas Tirith anyway. I hope Faramir will still have the dream of the sword that was broken. As Steward, he cannot go to Imladris itself, but he could send another. My vote is for Hirgon, who bore the Red Arrow to Theoden (with others I think) in the book and who physically resembled Boromir. I believe it's said in HoME that Tolkien originally meant Hirgon to be Denethor's nephew; in your AU, he could be a more distant cousin. Author Reply: Hi, Raksha! Glad you're still with me on this! It's been a long and harrowing road... and so much more to come! The lullaby is only the last 'key' in waking Faramir, Raksha. Aragorn has attempted, at least twice that we see, to call Faramir back. It just took a little longer - already, the King's touch has helped: the fever has left the lad, he has stopped the thrashing about, and he is finally sleeping peacefully - for the first time in a VERY long time. So do not think Aragorn did not call him back - he did! I'm sorry I did not write it powerfully enough for you to see. I might go back and look at that last little part. As for Henneth Annun - I refuse to answer on the grounds that it would give too much away. But I know what's going to happen there! I can't wait to get started on 'My Sword Reigns' - so many decisions to make and I have only small clues as to what the Muse is thinking!!! THANK YOU for the idea about Hirgon - I was wondering if I should start a contest about who on earth Faramir is going to send - I know this is a spoiler, but there is no way the Steward of Gondor will go to Rivendell - yet, he must still send someone. I was thinking of young Amrothos, Imrahil's son??? But Hirgon seems like a good candidate - AND he gets killed in Tolkien's piece anyhow? Hmmm... now that sends out another quandry - will that representative of Gondor try to steal the Ring? Lots of fun stuff to look forward to! | |

| Good that Elladan is now awake - at first I thought he may somehow fall into the same spell as Faramir, as he is not responding to anyone even Elrohir can't find any wounds. And his condition can fightened his twin brother so. Elladan seems well enough in this chapter - or is he really? Author Reply: Dearest Viresse, Thanks so much for reading this and especially for commenting! I hope you're enjoying this. As for Elladan - we'll have to wait till the sequel, 'My Sword Reigns,' before we know about Elladan. | |

| Hooray! And all comes right with the world! How very wonderful to see all finally come to their proper place, and with the proper one beside her--or him. And in your version it was Ecthelion who sought to engineer the rift between Aragorn and Denethor? Ah, that is too very bad. I rejoice that Minastir is defeated and Faramir awakes in Aragorn's arms with his hand being held by his beloved aunt, and that Elves and Men are able to find peace before they come to unwarranted blows. Author Reply: VERY glad you enjoyed this little tale... hope you enjoy the sequel... There is a short epilogue and a very LONG author's notes to still add - in a day or two... | |
