| I have read this several times, Nancy. I did not comment earlier because I did not understand it. Now that I do, it is truly stunning. I think if you would name Faramir in the first line rather than using a pronoun, it would help immensely. These are lovely sentiments and visuals. Thanks so much. Lindorien Author Reply: Thanks! Stunning is high praise - unless you mean it literally! ;-) Earlier drafts did refer to Faramir by name, but it felt awkward and a-rhythmic in review. If you have a suggestion as to how and emendment might be worded I'd be happy to hear it - I just can't get it to sound in my head and the sort-of-anonymity of the piece did concern me. | |

| I liked this. I have always felt that Faramir and Elrond were both very tragic, and yet also not so, in their own turns of fate. It was interesting to read this. :) Well done. Author Reply: Thanks for your review. It's funny ... I wouldn't have considered the similarities between Faramir and Elrond were it not for the posted plot bunny catching my attention over at Open Scrolls. And the story took a somewhat bitter turn in the writing which I hadn't anticipated at the outset. So, overall a surprising and interesting experience. I am glad it resonated with you, and appreciate your taking the time to tell me so. | |

| Wow, this is really profound. It's interesting to get inside Elrond's head. I've never read a fic about him and Faramir before. It's very cool! Author Reply: Thanks! No, as above, I wouldn't have even breathed their names in the same sentence were it not for the bunny inspiration, but I was intrigued immediately by the similarities and polarities listed. I wrote this sometime after seeing TT in which Elrond certainly comes off as angry and manipulative (a portrayal I never would have imagined from the books), so perhaps it's more dolorous and bitter than one might otherwise imagine. | |
