Burden of Guilt  by Linda Hoyland 181 Review(s)

Poor Aragorn. I can see him tearing his hair out. Or, short of that, tearing something from the dim guards.

I agree with Imrahil - Denethor has a lot to answer for here with poor Faramir. Whose self-confidence is abysmally low.

Author Reply: That is just the image I had of Aragorn too,tearing his hair out with frustration.Poor Faramir can be his own worst enemy at times,I think if had more confidence he would have demanded the Guards take him somewhere other than the common prison !Many thanks for your review.

Poor Aragorn. He must be running round just now in full headless chicken mode. A headless chicken wishing he had at least four sets of arms. Among the chaos of Arwen / Faramir / Eomer / furious Rohirrim - he must long to be back in the wild.

And he probably thinks that Faramir is the least of his problems. If only he knew . . .

Author Reply: Yes, I do imagine Aragorn wishing he were one of those multi armed Hindu gods,I've seen depicted in art !I am sure he finds being King a headache at times.

THank you so much for reviewing,your interest means a lot to me and motivates me to keep posting.

Confusion upon confusion.

Eomer really ought to practise the art of thinking. But I suppose it would spoil his impetuous character.

And so starts an entanglement of meanings and motives that just spirals out of all control!

Author Reply: Thank you so much for your review.I very much appreciate your taking the trouble.You are quite right about what is to come !

Well - I'm glad the baby is on its way. Unfortunately so are a lot of other things!

Author Reply: Yes I fear that is the case !Many thanks for your review.

Sweat-streaked sparring Dunedain - and then they start stripping off shirts! I think a Faramir/Aragorn sparring scene should be regularly featured in your stories. Nice humorous bits about Aragorn's disheveled hair.

Aragorn's pleasure at Faramir's good state of health and relaxed emotional state seems strangely ominous...I keep hearing the shark theme from the movie JAWS in my head...

Author Reply: Thank you for sending my first review of this for several days !I'm pleased you liked the sparring scene.It was fun to write and a theme Imay return to in future. I had them change their shirts for several reasons, to please their wives,also to please my readers and then to show how comfortable Faramir now was with Aragorn after being so shy in Shadow and Thought.

You are quite right,cue ominous music !

Very funny - it was lovely to see Arwen and Eowyn written with a sense of humor.

I am enjoying a re-read of this story on this site. Thanks for putting it here.

This is a wicked story. Of the kind much appreciated by wives. Who know just when to hint at it with a knowing twinkle - and subdue their husbands.

Poor perfect elf. He's not accustomed to such humiliation.

A very funny incident.

Am glad to see this one posted here as well. It's been a wonderful tale to follow, I must say, and I was glad to read it to the end. Won't read the whole thing here, but am very glad it is gracing this site.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for your kind words,it is thanks to your encouragement that I am posting my story here.
