I love this a lot ! I always am curious of anniversary fics esp when Boromir is concerned . Love the comfort too that Aragorn provides. The tea was a special
Touch to the comfort .

Quite appropriate that Aragorn should comfort Faramir...he's a kind and caring man, king or not. He would never let his new royal position interfere with providing comfort to another.

This is a most touching and poignat vignette. You did a great job of portraying Faramir's sorrow, and Aragorn's compassion, kindness, thoughtfulness and sympathy.

I really like this. Faramir's sorrow is palpable, and his fears that Boromir suffered. And Aragorn's compassion and servanthood is shown well. Very poignant glimpse of the friendship between Aragorn and Faramir.

*hugs Faramir*

I'm so glad Faramir has his devoted lord, king, and friend to sit by his side and keep him company on this night of all nights. Alas that Boromir was lost, but with his passing, firm bonds of brotherhood were forged between these two Ranger Captains...not just as King and Steward.

I'm glad Aragorn can be the father to Faramir he so lacked, as well, caring for him, and that another anniversary will not pass by without Eowyn joining Faramir first. Faramir has lost father and brother, but Aragorn is willing to help him heal and for that I am immensely grateful. I'm sure Boromir is watching from beyond the Circles of Arda, entrusting Faramir's care to Aragorn.

This story was lovely indeed and I think it a fitting tribute not just to Boromir but to the relationship between these two scions of the House of Elendil.

Thank you for a wonderful fic, Linda.

'Come now, your brother is not here, trapped within the circles of the world.'

*Weeping copiously!*

I am sure I am biased, but I think this is your best ever.... Thank you for sharing it.

This is nice! I always like how caring your Aragorn is; no detail is too small for him to notice or remember for a friend.

A sweet and sensitively written reminder of Faramir's love for his lost brother. It's good that Aragorn was there to offer some much-needed kindness and compassion.
