| "He kept his writings to himself, unwilling to risk hurting Grandsire with his fanciful imagination. But perhaps one day, he might share them with his sister. Though insufferable at times, she could be surprisingly understanding. He kept his writings to himself, unwilling to burden Grandsire with his fanciful imaginings. But perhaps one day, he might share them with his sister. Though insufferable at times, she could be surprisingly understanding." I think you only meant to include this paragraph once, not twice? Otherwise an interesting story. We see how Barahir begins as a writer of histories, and a bit of the ever-fascinating relationship of Denethor and Faramir through the eyes of Denethor's son and great-grandson decades after his death. Author Reply: Hi Raksha, Thank you for reading and leaving a review. I have removed the duplicate paragraph, thank you for highlighting it. Yes, I found the relationship of Denethor & Faramir fascinating. | |

| Itarille! I love this! I love a deeply, thoughtful and deeply understanding Faramir as an older man speaking about his life. I love his thoughts about his father. It well thought out and written! Thank you I love stories about Faramir and Eowyn both to write and to read about. I think you have rendered Faramir very well. thank you! MM Author Reply: Hi Mirkwoodmaiden, Thank you for reading and leaving a review:) I'm glad you enjoy the story. Have I rendered Faramir well? Aaaw, you made me happy. | |

| I like Barahir's versions better, even if it was wishful thinking. Author Reply: Thank you! Denethor's pyre made a great story, but how sad for him and Faramir. | |

| Fanfiction within fanfiction are such an interesting idea. On a serious note, I find Barahir's attempt to rewrite history bittersweet. Sweet because he tries to understand and redeem Denethir and sad because of course he will realise that he cannot change what happened. Author Reply: Thank you for reading and leaving a review. I'm glad you found it bittersweet--I aimed to convey that tone. I imagined Barahir tried to write an alternate ending where Denethor survived the war, but unable to come up with a realistic one. If he had survived, he would have remained Steward, and would have had to deal with Aragorn's claim. If he accepted the claim, it would break his heart. If he rejected it, it would have meant hardening his heart and he would have descended into darkness, something like Saruman. It was more merciful to have Denethor died during the war. In the end, Barahir could only write some endings where Denethor died with some hope in his heart. | |
