Somewhat Grim to Look Upon by Linda Hoyland
Raksha The Demon · 4 December 2013 · Chapter 1: Somewhat Grim to look Upon
A story as sweet as the hobbits' cakes, but not as sugary. Aragorn has had a lot to be grim about in his life; it is nice, and fitting, that he show his great happiness with a smile.

It is a delight as always to read about Faramir. :) I love that scene in the book of him waking to see Aragorn there. And I love Pippin's insistence to send hobbity love to their king. That would have elicited a smile I'm sure. And of course, it ends with a smile, as I knew it would. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

"He is smiling now," said Pippin. "I think it is the happiest smile I've ever seen!" And it is no wonder that it was so! After all Aragorn waited a very long time for this moment. Last but not least: Pippin is just wonderful in this little story!

Oh, yes, that smile would light up all of Gondor, I think! Hooray!

This was adorable! I love Pippin chiding Faramir about his appetite, but being perfectly willing to eat the Steward's share of the cakes. And insisting that Faramir give the King their *love* and not just "greetings". And I am very glad that Pippin now knows why Aragorn was waiting to smile!
