Ah- I so hope Faramir didn't take up the habit, too! Nice, gentle humor.

How wonderful-that Sam might have taken such a leading role in planting the new White Tree! Oh, yes! Lovely, my friend!

So likely a scenario! Oh, but I CAN so easily see this happening!

Oh, I love this thoughtful, so-wise Paladin! A Thain to honor!

Most clever, Danzingkatz! Is she seeking to escape the frying pan only to find herself being fanned by the words of Ioreth? Heh!

An excellent look at Pippin's first impressions of the city. And he can't fit his uniform any more? Poor, well-fed Hobbit!

An intriquing beginning... did this ever go anywhere ?

Nice work with Denethor here; including the delightful image of him playing on the steps of the empty throne with his toy soldiers as a small child. I don't think he would have accepted Aragorn as his king, even if he had lived to see Sauron's fall.

I see that Aragorn did get Faramir to start smoking a pipe, LOL. And Faramir sneaking into/over balconies to surprise his Ranger-King is a great maneuver, well-written. A delightful ending, too.

Funny! Two mischievous kids and an argument about what they're about to do - and one of their fathers is obviously the recipient of a nice cold, wet, snowball.

Well-written dialogue here; and I like the friendly relationship between Faramir and Aragorn. I love it that Arwen asked Faramir to try to persuade Aragorn not to smoke!

A good look at one of the many women of the Pelennor who probably lost kin and home in the Ring War. Well-written, naturally told; with a nice nod to the spirit of rebirth and the strength of the OFC.

A great ficlet - the notion of dust on books being a consequence of the Marring sounds both Gandalfesque and an echo of his existence as Olorin. Excellent characterisation of Gandalf at this pivotal moment in the LOTR timeline.

A lovely little piece here, very naturally written. Of course Sam would tend the White Tree; one can sense his delight at being able to do some gardening again.
