Bah took me forever to sign in I hope my review is worth the annoyance it too to sign in properly!

This was short but enjoyable. I noticed your sequel and was about to click on it so I checked this one out first. I'll be honest I'm not a big Aragorn/Faramir fan. [I'm more Pippin/Faramir, weird I know.] But I couldn't help changing for something different and your story was the first that came up.

It wasn't what I expected but that's a good thing! I really liked it, you have a way of making the readers use their imagination whilst being very detailed.

I'll go on and read your sequel now!

Aughh!! AUGH! *wails* MARSHMALLOW, how in the world could you do this to me??!?! I told you I was going to review all of your stuff, but that does not mean you can blatantly torture me!

Marshmallow! *slaps your hand with a ruler* BAD! BAAD! No! Bad girl! SHAME!

Aragorn..and..*stutters*..F-F-FUDGING FARAMIR?!

*cries softly into pillow*

I cannot bear it. The two men..they both have beards. They both are Gondorians. They are..MAKING ME GREEN!

I CANNOT BEAR THIS! *faints into Marshmallows arms* How will I continue living when my dear friend is addicted to something as evil as CELERY?

I *HATE* celery. With a passion. I want to punch it hard. In the face.

Everyone used to make me eat it with peanut butter when I was a child. Everyday for lunch. WITH EVERY SNACK FROM THE GROCERY STORE!

I was scarred, to say the least. I shall never be the same again, dear Marshmallow-plus-chocolate-and-graham-crackers-equates-to-smores.

I HATE CELERY. I want to stab stab stab it with my spork! Not funny! Celery is a killer and its a dictator and it ruins my life!

So. Back to our original one-sided conversation.

Aragorn and Faramir are like celery. I can see them taunting me at night. They are stabbing Legolas, the poor elf, stabbing him with celery! Blood is spattering everywhere! His blonde hair is stained, TAINTED WITH CELERY AND BLOOD!

Estel has dreams about this! The young Estel, the innocent one, before he met that son of a steward. HE DREAMS ABOUT THIS! He literally goes like: I HAD A DREAM..THAT ONE DAY..MARTIN LUTHER WOULD BE COPYING MY WORDS..PLAGIARISM..AND THAT FARAMIR SHALL BRAINWASH ME INTO KILLING LEGOLAS WITH CELERY..

And he shall end with soft sobbing. That is how it goes.

And then Legolas shall step into the room..pity and compassion lights up his face..he shall comfort poor Estel and tell him, "..You wanna check out my cellphone? It has bluetooth, I promise!"

And Estel, the brave warrior he is, shall wipe his tears and calm his wobbling lower lip. He shall swipe his hair out of his face and say, "Can I have your phone number?"

And Legolas shall reply, "Yes..you may, Estel. Under one condition though."

And Estel, ever eager to carry out his idols wishes, shall agree and ask WTF he wants.

And the elf will reply, "You must text me where you got that RAD HAIRCUT, its like FILLING MY DREAMS, I must have my blonde hair cut exactly like YOURS!"

And Estel shall swell up in pride, throw his arms around Legolas, his saviour, his biggest crush ever, and Legolas shall try hard not to snigger and hurt his friends feelings, and pretend to pat him on the back as well..Just kidding, he shall comfort his friend..lift his chin..push his hair out of the way..say softly something that will change Estels life forever.

"Will you..marry me?"

"Yes. I have to; we will have the same haircut."

"Oh, thats right. In the Constitution of Elfdom, page 694, decree #190,583,246,984,2,009, left side of the page says 'Any two beings with the same haircut shall thereby have to wed to the other, no matter what sex, race, nationality, and underwear size."

"You memorized that?"

"Yes. One of my lessons as a Prince."

"Oh. Right. Kay, show me your bluetooth, my pimp."

"Aiightt."

P.S.

It is with great pain and sacrifice that I must accept that, yes, perhaps, Faramir and Aragorn CAN be together. In just this one fic. Because you will punch me otherwise.

I adore it! I think I must adore everything you've written so far. It took me a teensy-tiny while to remember who Faramir was, but then I remembered - the steward thing helped.
I love this pairing, and just the right amount of lemony goodness.
I adore how you display Aragon's character, even weak and slightly hopeless as he is, it isn't out of character.
And I've only read the first book, so I don't know much about Faramir's character, but going on what I've seen of the movie, you've written his character in perfectly as well.
J.R.R Tolkein would be proud (if slightly disproving of the whole slash thing).

Okay, super sorry this one took me forever to read. I thought you were writing a Aragorn Baramir slash. (sorry but that's an ew :D) But Aragorn and Faramir is a complete differnt story! Anyways, as usually, it was great! I love yout writing so much! It's beautiful, kind of like poetry on the page. Seriously, HIGH FIVE and keep it coming! :D

You write beautifully. What's unsaid is incredibly interesting. Perhaps it'll be explained in your other story which I have to get back to reading.

I've read with pleasure. Steady, calm story, little mysterious, because you do not explain many things only you focus on the relationship beetween Aragorn and Faramir. And that's okay, that's even better, because we can imagine some things and because of that every reader will have the same - bot the same sight of Aragorn's accident until you decide to write more.

Personally I would leave them one candle or something that they could see each other, I don't like darkness, but it was all in all awesome. Ater all it was middle of the night. And there are many kinds of darkness, not only that scary type...
