Why this must be read:
Greetings. I'm Melina, and I'll be your LOTR tour guide for the very merry month of May. I'm glad you've just had a month of mostly hobbits withvissy, because this month we'll be going in a different direction. My LOTR interests are mostly in the world of Men, with an occasional foray into Elvish realms :)
Pulling out into traffic with no further ado....
If you want to write Aragorn/Faramir as a slash pairing, you have a serious problem in the form of Éowyn and Arwen. Many authors ignore them, or worse, so it's a lovely thing to read stories that bring the guys together in a believable way while keeping their (very much beloved) wives in the picture.
Your Cruise Director and Ashinae do just that in this beautifully written series of interconnected stories, starting first with Light of Heart and Apple Harvest, which give us lovely moments between Éowyn and Faramir and Arwen and Aragorn before bringing the guys together. The characters remain true to those we know and love, and their interactions feel very authentic in light of each person's culture and experiences. Set as it is early in the Fourth Age (or at the very end of the Third) there is a wonderful sense of renewal and restoration -- and joy -- underlying this series, even when the characters reflect on the sorrows of the past.
The stories comprising this series range from PG to NC-17.
Seasons of Wonder (scroll down the page). The story parts are as follows:
Start with the author's Story Notes. Then onto:
Light of Heart
Apple Harvest
Cloaked by Snowfall
Seasons of Wonder
Festivity
Secrets Among Brothers
The Scent of Trees
Abundance
Bedtime Story
Careful
(Because I won't be able to rec everything she's written individually, let me just mention you can't go wrong with any of the stories on Your Cruise Director's LOTR page. Lovely stuff all over.)
