The Gleaming Road by melblue (Explicit)

Fandom: THE LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Third Marshal Éomer of the Riddermark/Captain Faramir of Gondor
Length: 28,287 words

Why this must be read:
Faramir is one of those characters in the books (and movies, for that matter) that I find absolutely fascinating. I love reading stories that reinterpret his character. In this story, Éomer has come to Minas Tirith to negotiate treaties between Gondor and Rohan and his eye falls on Faramir. Denethor, seeing a chance to turn the negotiations in his favor, orders his son to seduce Éomer (basically, to become a whore for Gondor). Faramir's sense of duty obliges him to do so, even though he is more than reluctant, but fortunately Éomer is a good guy and senses a Steward-sized rat.

This is in no way canon-compliant. I shall always and forever love Éowyn/Faramir bestest, but this story is a lovely alternative.

I just wanted to comment here before I forgot. I haven't read LOTR fic in *years* and I never would have picked up anything involving this pairing even if I had. But the rec and the setup sounded awesome and I *loved* it. I started following c_v in order to find awesome gems and this fits the bill perfectly! Thank you for reccing it. :)
