Houseless  by PSW 5 Review(s)

I loved this! So close and nearly disaster within sight of home; I can just imagine what poor Legolas was thinking (in panic) as he felt the last vestiges of his control slip. And I'm very proud of Faramir, showing he's justly earned his rank amongst the heroes of Middle Earth - lasting for 3 days without sleep and still managing to have enough reflexes to survive the spirit's assault - I think only Aragorn himself might have done better!

I loved this because its a very well written Faramir centric story, and I crave those as there really are few of them in place. The desperation of the characters and the slight touch of horror reminds me much of Thundera Tiger's Fey story, which is also something of a horror story but very, very well written and focused on Faramir.

I look much forward to the epilogue--I want to see what Legolas has to say to Faramir (and just how long it took for Faramir to recover from this little "jaunt"......and if that arm is really just bruised or fractured.....lol)

I have read 'Fey' as well ... you're definitely right, it was very good ...

FARAMIR is not the only one exhausted!! whew, I feel like I've been in a battle.
Great chapter, very powerfully written. I enjoyed your picture of Arwen, Aragorn had it right, she immediately reminded me of her grandmother.

and thank you for keeping your word and returning my elf back to his "houseless" free state.

very much enjoyed this chapter.

I did wonder earlier if Arwen would be at least as useful as Aragorn in this case! After all, she does come from a family of rather powerful people, and now she showed it. Faramir's reaction was realistic, under ordinary circumstances the queen would be the last person allowed near something dangerous. I enjoyed her show of power and Faramir's stunned reaction to it. (And also that Aragorn stayed wisely away until he got the athelas.)

Author Reply: I think that Aragorn would definitely trust Arwen to do her thing, which includes not blundering into the middle of it all until he had a reason to think he could help the situation ... ;-) Thanks so much for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Ah, to hear that battle of clear song and grieving, vengeful spirit would have been quite the experience indeed. Well done!

Author Reply: Not something that (hopefully) they will see again ... Thank you! And thanks for reading! :-)

Before he could loose himself, however, before Beregond’s first lunge slowed and before the spirit within Legolas could respond, Arwen Undómiel lifted her voice in song.

Such beauty and power Faramir had never heard. It was as a tangible thing


What a wonderful description.

Goodness, Faramir must be exhausted. What an experience for all of them!

Author Reply: I know, right? What a long few days! But thankfully his persistence paid off ... Thanks for reading! :-)
