Thank you for sharing this story, it had a very strong effect on me.
I like the way it is written: quite compactly, just a few scenes, yet it shows the whole situation perfectly, and somehow the short length makes it all the more intense.
So tragic – and in the most tragic way, too, because of bad timing and people’s own stupidity. It is, of course, quite understandable that he would be so vulnerable and irritable after that whole episode with the Ring – and she just had to pick that particular morning to ask him all those things. Although, on the other hand, those questions are only to be expected in a relationship like theirs, and given his conduct. I can’t say I feel especially sorry for him, even though he too is obviously suffering – but his whole treatment of her… And somehow I want to agree with Deala’s sister: it seems to me he did not truly love her, for if he did, would have he dishonoured her like so, getting himself involved with a trusting unwed girl…?
Well, again, thank you for this story. It certainly shows Faramir from an unusual angle, not so morally impeccable as his actions in the war would have us think.

Angsty to the right point. Grimly realistic. Well done.

fantastically written, well done :)

That was an amazing story. Very well written. The emotions of the characters are strong. It would be great if you could expand on this.
