Minx: I’m so glad you liked it! And thank you again for this lovely story haven :3

Raven: Thank you! What a lovely comment! Due to the length constraint I imposed on myself there wasn’t really any scope for expanding on the tree but I wanted to include it because it was a way to tie in Faramir’s life and duty up until this point and the duty and love he will now show for his King; both as his ruler and in other regards ;) Also, I love to read the ‘small’ stories as much as anything else, those little every day moments that pass by unrecorded but can have just as much emotion or tenderness in them :D Thank you again, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Aaaw, this was delicious!

The tree! It´s such a beautiful image to depict Faramir´s deep emotional attachment to his home that goes much further than duty. I admit I used to think about it as “Well, so that´s the landmark of Gondor” but as you said, for these people it has a concrete meaning.

I love the way you build a microcosm of its own by sketching those little all-day scenes. Which I think is not that easy because logically they´re all set after the actual story. And the consonance between them is really palpable; how they´re adjusted to each other and yet everybody remains an independent and responsible person.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It makes me wish to sneak into the scenery and stay there for a while, cuddled up at the foot of the bed.

Aww…this is just lovely! Thank you for such a wonderful read:)

Itt’s a very nice gift for the archive:)

Lille Mermeid: thank you so much! I’ve been working on some angsty stuff at the moment so it’s always a nice change to write something more light-hearted! :)

Iris: Oh no! I’d be very sad if it came to pulling the plug, though I’m quite sure you’d have your reasons, but this is such a nice place to read and post stories, and I do hope it carries on for many years yet :) Thank you so much for your kind words, and thank you again for this lovely haven for writing! And I’m beyond honoured to hear you say my silly little story restored your faith :3 Thank you!

Oh, this is lovely! And for the anniversary – thank you so much! Of the seven years, the last one has been the toughest by far, even to a point where I sometimes (including yesterday) thought of just quitting fan fiction altogether and pulling the plug on this site. And then you go and do something like this!
So thank you very much for this lovely story… and for restoring my faith in the fanfic community;)

Cute and sweet.
It’s nice to read happy stories starring our dear Faramir.
