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

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!

It is always lovely to get such kind comments on an 'old' story.

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!

I think everyone has the message now that you don't mess with my Steward.

Three cheers for Faramir!!! Who ended the story in one piece - (a temporary oversight, I'm sure) - and happy!

I like happy endings with the goodies rewarded and the baddies snarling 'curses'. Though the hanged ones probably find it a bit harder to say.

Imagine Gimli holding Legolas down while he receives sloppy kisses! Could get some quite excited. Though I quite like the happy start . . .

Good story. Good ending. Look forward to your next production.

After all the angst I had to let him sail off into the sunset in the arms of Eowyn.

Bless you for your support.
