hehehh@! thouroughly enjoyed this piece, i did~~

the story played out quite smoothly and it was all so tolkien like!!

especially loved the bits of humour, such as the gondorian and middle-earth sex-ed.. pfft..

i was a bit shocked to have bottom!faramir, and i can't help but laff whenever i picture a frodo 'hanky pankyin' with him..

thAX YOU FER WRITING!!

I just read and reread and reread this. I normally can't stand LOTR slash but this really works. The way these two have made a life together is fabulous. The gentle humor and understanding between Frodo and Faramir is wonderful. It was completely believable from beginning to end.
I like that Faramir really underestimates his role in governing Eriador but Frodo does not.
I wish this was longer or that there was more stories.

Best LOTR fanfiction piece I've ever read. So many of the slash fics contain too much smut and not enough dialogue or actual plot. Your casual use of names show you are a reader of the books and not just a watcher of the films which, I feel, helps make better LOTR fanfic. You made the characters come alive for me, and that's rare.

You are now one of my favorite authors and the only regret I have is that the story ended.

Kudos.

Urgh this is kinda disturbing...Not only would it be like doing it with a kid but to have them being the dominate character in the relationship...
But I gotta say a really original idea!

This is so low-key that it takes time to savour the feeling of completion and happiness in a safe haven at last. I wish you'll write more like this, or on those two.

I decidedly like these two. Faramir is the dream stoic, unassuming hero, and I love how Twotrees describes him - "Never showed if it disgusted you, but never a smile. Like one of those statues up at Deadman's **, a fallen king from an old tale." I'll be waiting for updates hap^pily.

That was sad! And poor Faramir, poisoned and conked on the head. Each chapter is a mini adventure! And Frodo really does love him. Most excellent! I'll be on the lookout for nine:)

It has occured to me what has been buzzing at the back of my brain all the time I have been reading this, and I feel quite dumb for just now noticing it. It is the POV, Faramir's to be exact. I think that is one of the reasons that I like it so much and it just came to me! The Dunedain and others speculations and the hospitality of King Ugluk were quite interesting. The eviction of the Father and step-mother in law was quite fun. But the best part was Frodo telling Faramir he was the only thing making life bearable! I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Even not knowing much about LOTR (saw one and a half movie...) this is absolutely wonderful. You convey once again the slow maturing of love in the forced marriage of two solitary souls. Am much looking forward to more of this.

A little love between spouses, a half-orc king, a mad stepmother and a new castle! Quite a busy chapter! I love your portrayal of Faramir, especially his interactions with Frodo. I'm definitely waiting impatiently for the next chapter. :)

This is really good. I only really started to read LOTR fanfic and am enjoying it immensely! The array of pairings was surprising and surprisingly refreshing! I'm looking forward to the next intallment!

Much to my surprise (I would not pick Frodo and Faramir as a credible or workable pairing), I'm enjoying
this hugely. I like the sly humour, the family tensions, the background politics, and the courtesy and
respect that Frodo and Faramir show each other as they quietly make this arranged marriage work.

So much that I really liked, it's hard to pick. Some odd fragments

..surprisingly, Faramir found his father's honour mattered to him even now
..a child who had misunderstood a hated tutor and been beaten for it (not in Tolkien, is this
a reflection on Faramir's own childhood?)
..Faramir wanting to tell Sam that this was the one thing he could give Frodo that Sam couldn't,
and later offering to tell Sam of his complete and utter satisfaction (meep!)
..Faramir pondering the ethics of hiding his feelings
..the contrast between a very solemn handfasting in front of Aragorn and Denethor, and the hobbit wedding (where someone
fed beer to the pigs)
..the flags made out of old frocks
..the night in the inn and Arwen (who had nothing to do but look beautiful!) pulling Faramir's leg afterwards made me chortle, although Denethor then pulls us down to earth with a thud
..Faramir saying he has to tell Frodo about Boromir's secret because it's too big to keep to himself
(very un-fanfiction - he should really keep quiet and then have a big tearful emotional showdown when Frodo discovers the truth!)

Am looking forward to further chapters.

This is really cool. I like this pairing a lot. Very sweet.

Hey, this is really interesting. I am definitely not a fan of interspecies, but this is nonexplicit enough that I can sort of not think about that, so I'm enjoying it alot.

I really liked the interaction between Eowyn, Boromir and Faramir in earlier chapters. If this were canon, I think that is exactly how they would act.

On another note, I'm not quite sure what Faramir and Frodo's relationship is at the moment. I really appreciate the lack of explicit, NC-17 sex :P, but a little more detail on their emotional reactions might be interesting. Like, why does Faramir obey Frodo? Are they having sex, and if so, why? Are they in love, or does Faramir feel obliged because they're handfasted, or is he lonely?

Um, you probably didn't want that much detail. Sorry. Thank you for the story, anyway. I'm all curious.

love this fic, and i can honestly say this is the first lord of the rings fic i've ever read, although i had toyed with the idea this pairing was not exactly what i had in mind but in the world you are witting it in it works just fine
