This has been here for a few months now. I just read "A Moment of Weakness" and decided to check out some of your others which I have missed. This is such a sweet picture! I have always seen these two as wounded souls who healed each other, or as opposites who attracted and completed each other. The description of the lightening storm wonderfully mirrored the storm in Faramir's soul. I believe that simply because he is aware that the way his father compared he and his brother was not good, he will make a conscious effort to be different. I would like to see Faramir as the father of a little girl! I doubt he would be so eager to teach her things like shooting or sword play like he would a son. But I am very certain he would teach her languages, literature, history, and how to think for herself! (The mommy could teach her how to ride and fight, after all!) I am sure that any of their children would turn out to be remarkable. And the ending, with the storm raging outside, and the two of them cuddled peacefully inside, is so lovely and warm.
