I’m not… I don’t know what to say.. I’m just.. gobsmacked, I guess I am. I’m pretty new to the lotr online-fandom, though I’ve loved Faramir for quite some time, and really I was just checking what there was out there. and then I stumble upon this! I’m just.. While reading this I found myself horrified, confused, aroused, enthralled, and then, amazingly, regretful of the difference of race and alliance that would make anything between Faramir and Shagrat impossible. It’s strange, somehow. I’ve never thought of Orcs in any way but as mindless golems, and here you give me one that is surprisingly human. And likable. I’m in love. Absolutely and deeply. And I will go read Captain of Mordor, now.
