Now that the conflict is over, Denethor and Frodo are both having to face the fact that their lives are irreversibly altered. Neither expected to survive and indeed invited death... and yet they live. I remember a quote from Frank Herbert's Dune saga that anyone who lives through the decision to die is fundementally changed. I imagine Denethor senses that commonality with Frodo
Author Reply: I hadn't thought of that before, but I think you're right. It'll change them both irrevocably, forever, but in rather different ways. Thanks for the review! |

| I hope you are planning lots for Frodo and Denethor to get to no each other! I'm sure Frodo could charm his way into anyone's heart! It is so wonderful that they are all together again! You are doing wonderfully, I don't usually enjoy AU's this much! Looking forward to more, thank you! |

| Your Denethor is so believable and the events following your departure from canon so credible that I can almost see Professor Tolkien sitting at his writing desk, saying, "Hmmm...Kill Denethor; don't kill Denethor?", and imagine that this is one outcome he might have come close to choosing himself. I really like the little exchanges between Aragorn and E/E, and especially the Frodo's line "Is that difficult?" and Aragorn's response, "It took me close to 50 years." |
