| I Love the last scene which Faramir fell asleep next to Aragorn. Woo-what an adventure you had us go through with Aragorn being captured. IT was all great writing! | |

| LOVED THIS chapter so much. I have tears in my eyes because of missing Boromir, Faramir asking Aragorn to be groom's men-it's so touching. And of course the whole wedding procession was almost exactly how i imagined it. Finally happiness for Faramir, <3 | |

| I agree with Faramir's suggestions on how Aragorn should be in terms of ruling and also letting the people see who he is. That is critical to set things right by the common people who do not know the King though they have accepted him due to him being the heir of Isilur and defeating Mordor. Great chapter | |

| That was such a fun chapter- glad that it is less tension filled and perhaps Faramir and Aragorn's relationship can get better from here. | |

| Great story! I'm glad Aragorn and Faramir finally came to an understanding and can build on their friendship and commradarie. | |

| Well, thankfully Faramir now knows it's not Aragorn who is the source of corruption in Gondor, but rather most likely one or more of the Councillors. I can certainly understand Aragorn's frustration with Faramir and he really can't be blamed for thinking the worst of his Steward if after all these weeks, he sees no improvement or promise in the man. I wish Faramir would TALK to Aragorn about what's going on, instead of adding to the King's feelings of guilt...how is Aragorn supposed to know what to do or what to think when he's still in the dark about what's going on? :( | |

| Great story so far, but it upsets me that Faramir is helping the Gondorian veterans behind Aragorn's back...he's not even trying to find out if what Lireal said is true. And even if it was, since Aragorn is so new to running a kingdom, he probably doesn't know all that goes on around him...it's impossible to be involved in everything and at every level. I just bet there's someone making up these rules without Aragorn's knowledge or permission and if the king ever found out, he'd be appalled and angry. I hope Faramir's plan doesn't backfire on him...I would imagine Aragorn would be deeply hurt that his own Steward didn't trust him enough to even discuss the situation, let alone trying to solve it without his knowledge. :( | |

| An very good tale indeed. I'm sorry I didn't get to 'review' along the way, but I've just finally read it and needed to say how much I enjoyed it. It was a difficult tale to read for the interactions between the characters - but I felt that the tension was appropriate seeing as Eowyn and Aragorn were really strangers to Faramir. I was most grateful when Arwen finally became friends with Faramir. At last, someone that he could turn to in time of distress... Though I did like that he still kept a bit of distance for awhile. As much as I'm a Denethor fan, I hardly had a moment's pause on any of the 'parts' that dealt with Faramir's father. I accepted most of Faramir's introspection and really applauded that you showed that Denethor did his best to keep Gondor alive and running, if not smoothly, at least running. I loved the whole 'reason' for Faramir's reticence (sp?) with the state of the City... Well-written, well thought out story! Congratulations! Author Reply: Thank you It is always lovely to get such kind comments on an 'old' story. Hugs Helen | |

| Great ending to the story. Faramir has shown himself to be a worthy and canny steward. It's fitting that Aragorn trusts him to handle the sentencing and facilitating all the remaining actions. And he does make the punishment fit the crime! Author Reply: Thank you, I think everyone has the message now that you don't mess with my Steward. :) | |
