| You said, I have challenged myself to write a story where Faramir made a mistake or showed his weakness. I have yet to come up with any idea :) Hmmm. Perhaps he makes a mistake or shows weakness in Ithilien. Just brainstorming... Éowyn asks him to show her the hidden cave behind the waterfall. He has some sort of accident. She has to figure out how to summon help but cannot leave his side. Perhaps the Captain of Ithilien (my beloved Beregond) can have some role? Perhaps Éomer and his bride come to visit on a set date, but Faramir and Éowyn haven't returned? Faramir's mistake might even be not telling anyone where they were going because it was just a quick "there and back"? Sorry, I'm not telling you what story to write, just imagining one scenario that might fit the characters you've crafted so well. Author Reply: Thank you for the suggestion! I will think along that line. Being together, just the two of them, in Henneth Annun, and nobody else know their whereabouts? Oh, that is worth one mistake or more :) | |

| Reading this chapter brought happy tears. I love how you picture their relationship! They are both noble and loving and wise. “You could tell me again, I am a mere mortal who enjoys praise every now and then.” This little speech brought a chuckle. How human and down-to-earth he sounds! Sometimes it can be hard to remember his personhood because he's such a hero in JRRT's account, sounding almost too good to be true at times. You do a good job of bringing him to life and making him sound real (and Éowyn too, for that matter). Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, he is such a hero. I'm afraid I have made him too good to be true in my stories. I have challenged myself to write a story where Faramir made a mistake or showed his weakness. I have yet to come up with any idea :) Author Reply: I'm glad you found the Faramir and Eowyn in my writing sound real. Thank you again! | |
