Marvelous Helen -- and a well-written twist at the end. Oh lady, Faramir is not a man to be jealous. Though he migh like to find his son a bed of his own, occasionally, for a change! ;)

I had to read this twice to understand exactly what was going on - but that was good because I love those sort of stories!

OH! Squee! I have to tell you, I did one like this for my group! (Not Faramir, but... well, *blush*) - where you thought the one she was caring for was the father, not the son, until you got into the story! HEHEHE... It is a wonderful device and you use it delightfully in this piece! Well done!

(and on a side note, as a proud nursing mom myself, I love seeing nursing depicted in fic. One of my PET peeves is when someone tries to write an M-e fic and uses bottles for infants... Grrrr. Anyway, thanks for this treat!)

Sorry I read my review and it sounded quite out of place, I do enjoy how you caught us by surprise but again, A younger person might stumble across it and leave astonished before reading the end. So if my other review sounded like I didn't get the point of the story... I did, I am just worried others won't.

Author Reply: Thank you for taking the time to review.

I did wonder at the rating. As you have raised this as a concern I have referred it up the line to Nilmandra and I will take her advice on it.

Cheers

Hello! Only one quick suggestion, the story was a cute little vignette but on behalf of those who would see proper ratings, you really should change it to PG at least. There could be some younger people on here who stray across it unkowingly and find themselves reading something their parents would most certainly not approve of. Thank you for a short, amusing little glimpse into the shieldmaiden's new, softer side in life.

I caught on right at the moment the baby began to nurse! Been there and there is nothing more wonderful that totally satisfying another person like that. This was lovely, Shireling.

Author Reply: Yes it made my toes curl at the memory....wonderful.

Beautiful, sensual. You got me with the unexpected switch of Faramir with his son. I had to go back and reread the the beginning with him in mind. Your words still work, even when read with a maternal slant instead of a spousal slant. Nicely done. Very nice indeed!

I'm glad I got the right balance...I wanted to convey the sensual nature of the encounter rather than the sexual.
