Sian, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for a simply breathtaking piece of writing…quite outside its wonderful eroticism, the emotion and fineness and sheer wonder of the characterization left me speechless. The emotion of an ocean of loss came through in such poignant contrast to Beregond’s love.
I hope one day we may see more of this Faramir…

Dear Jenny, thank you very much for this lovely comment! You’ve made my day: I’ve just fought my way home through this insane snowfall, had to force a pram with a 3 year-old through half a foot of mushy snow for almost an hour. I was in quite a bad mood, so tired – and then this wonderful message from you! Thank you :)

Yes, every time I read ROTK, I can’t help but notice that Beregond… well, feels very strongly about Faramir, to say the least – and in such a way that, well, at least to me it does not seem altogether unlikely that his devotion may have a little more to it ;)

I too would like to read many more stories about these two, but sadly, in the English fandom there are not terribly many fics with this pairing either…

I am very glad this story has touched you! Although I do write about Faramir/Boromir on a regular basis, in this story I wanted the discovery of their relationship to come as a bit of a shock to the reader, like what the?! But at the same time I hoped it would not be the kind of shock to disgust or cause displeasure – but rather, like you say, would make one sad.

And last thing, I think your English is really good! I didn’t see any wrong words, and your sentences are not confusing at all. I am not a native speaker myself, and I’d say that for just 5 years your level is very impressive!

A few days ago I read “The Lord of the Rings – The Return of the King”. Actually I read the German version, but that doesn’t matter. I realised, that there was a strange relationship between Beregond and Faramir. Well, if you can call this a relationship. Beregond talked a lot about Faramir. And his words were as loving as Faramirs words about his brother Boromir.
In any case, I was looking for a story about Beregond and Faramir at fanfiction.de. There was only one: The German translation of your story. It has got nine chapters now and the last one ends with Faramir groaning Boromir’s name. I was so curious if there had really been more than brotherhood between them, so I read the last few words on this page.
And … Wow! I really don’t know what to say. It was amazing. I can hardly remember if I’ve ever read a story that was as emotional as yours. Congratulations to make me almost cry. I thought: What? Faramir and Boromir? But you wrote a masterpiece with a fantastic writing style.
If the German translation is going to be as great as your English version – I’m sure it will be, “uebersetzerin” is wonderful! – I’m going to cry a second time I think. Great! Great! Great! I really enjoyed the read!

Greetings,
Jenny

[I’m sorry for wrong words etc. I’m learning English for nearly five years now, but my mother-language is German… laugh Hope, you can understand my confusing sentences…]

Oh, elektra, thank you so much for this marvellous comment, it utterly made my day! I’m just back after 3.5 hours at the dentist X_x and couldn’t have dreamt of a better pick-me-up xoxo

I’m thrilled my work has touched you like it did, and it’s always so nice to find people who share my understanding of the characters. I suppose it’s one of the charms of Faramir that he allows such a wide scope of interpretations – but in my personal view he has always been more or less the man we see in this story.

As for your proposition – goodness, I’m honoured and humbled that you would want to translate this story, no exagerration. I myself have embarked on a venture to translate it into my mother-language, so I fully understand how much work and emotional energy such a project would require. And of course I’d be ecstatic for the Deutsch version of this piece to see the light of day :)

Once again, thanks for all the kind words and letting me know you’ve enjoyed your read!

Dear December, what wonderful story! :) I so love to read a Faramir noble and strong, not that whimpering weak little boy. And I love your Beregond too. What honest and true (and sweet!) a person! And utterly believable – how much he is in love with this man, and how he cherishes this one-time chance to be with him and showing all his love and loyalty to him. And how noble he will bear the sadness that it is not him that it’s all about and will never be.

I think it’s very close to the “real thing” of love. Few authors can capture this and in such sexy way! ;)

There is one thing I HAVE to ask you: Please please please – may I translate this masterpiece into German?

Thank you so much for this story. The best slash-fiction I ever read

Roseblend, thanks! Sweet to know you are following my work :)

trixie, thank you! Ah, you know, I love Beregond so much, and I always want him to get more attention in fanfiction, so I’ve long since craved to write something about him. And then this came out… Honestly, I don’t know whether this tale has done him a favour or not, but here it is…

Ah, Alcardilmё, thank you, again and again, for all the kind things you’ve said to me about this work. Ah, the angst, the angst. Feels like it’s time for a change of course, to write something about Faramir being jolly and happy. Like… er, like… Any ideas…? (hopeless sigh)

I do so love the character, Beregond. So intricate a person. And what you’ve done with him here is perfect. As for Faramir – my goodness – I shared his grief and wept. Beautifully written, as always! A good 5-star tale!

Ah, yes, how could it be otherwise? Faramir’s behavior had my thoughts turning in that direction.I am sometimes struck by the tremendous grief Faramir was experiencing, and it nearly takes my breath away!
Beautifully written and well-paced. You never rush the development of your stories. Bravo!

Amazing and well-written, as usual. Keep posting!
