This is one of the best Faramir/Aragorn fics I think I’ve ever read. Your storycrafting is superb and this tale will remain in my mind and memory long after I’ve forgotten others.

Truly wonderful. I think this is the third time I’ve read this fic now. I also like your Arwen in this story and usually I don’t. Faramir and Aragorn are great in this story. I would love to see more of this story. I think I wouldn’t even mind seeing all three (Aragorn/Arwen/Faramir) togeather.

A great work, Dernhelm!
I do not remember when I was touched so deeply at the last time as I am touched with your story now.
Faramir’s inner world is so fascinated in your discription that I have no words.
I do not understand how Eowyn could treat so cruel with Faramir, but it’s interesting, had she found her love?!
Please, write more stories, you are an excellent author!
Thank you very much!

I’m back to this story yet again. Dernhelm, you’re quite hard to reach. If you’re still getting notes from this site, could you please contact me at the attached email?

This is one story I keep coming back to again and again. I think you handled the dark themes with superb sensitivity, and I too particularly like your portrayal of Arwen. Thank you for writing this!

I’ve never told you how much I love this story. I do love it. I have re-read it many times. The mindscape scene is both astonishing and believable, and I admire the hell out of you for coming up with it. Very well done. Thank you.

Wow. That is one of the most amazing things I have ever read, be it fanfiction or novel. I just sat down and read it from start to finish, because I couldn’t look away! The characterisation was perfect, in all cases (and you’ve written an Arwen that I love, and she’s often hard to write, especially in an Aragorn/Faramir story), and as Tal said, the emotional depth is just phenomenal. Thank you so much for writing something that was such a pleasure to read.

Thank you, Tal, so much for your kind words. This is still one of my favorite stories that I’ve written, and to know folks are still enjoying it more than 4 years after it was written means a lot to me.

This is one of the most emotionally powerful stories I’ve ever read. I don’t think anyone could read it without being touched, even overwhelmed, by the poignant depths of emotion you explore here. Beautiful, painful, powerful. Perfect.
