Just out of curiosity, any reason you don't type the "s" in "yes"? Not to knock you, I'm just wondering... |

Oh, it's because I don't say the 's' when I say it, it's more 'yer' so I've got into the habit of typing it without the 's' as well. |

Ahh, okay...because the first time I saw it, I thought it was "ye" as in "old-fashioned way of saying you" then I realized it was yes. I was just wondering. Thanks for clearing it up! |

Ah, my best mate was suffering from depression when the films came out. I remember telling her that if she killed herself, we would never find out what happened in The Two Towers cos I wouldn't see the film without her. |

Ahh, Jules, I'm still looking for a good Denethor fic for you. They're tough to find. |

They are, indeed. There are quite a few cute little drabbles on ff.net that feature Denethor frolicking with his wife and sons, but even though they´re a nice change from all the ebul!Denethor fics, they´re not very satisfying. It´s as if the authors are trying to write Denethor from the other extreme: the happy-go-lucky, lovable family man. I´m sorry, but that is not Denethor, any more than the cartoonish villain is. Judging from the little Tolkien wrote about him, Denethor just seems too hard-bitten, tired, and--dare I say it--cynical, even before the palantir episode, to splash around in a fountain with his family or play make-believe with little Faramir. |

Hmm, there was one where the author imagined Faramir and Boromir called their father Ada when they were little...But it was more of a seque into a cute little Faramir/Eowyn/Elboron fluff piece. |

Yes, that one was very good, but I agree it focused more on Faramir and Eowyn and their growing family. Now, Faramir is more of the family-man type...I can´t forget that "moved sooner to pity than scorn" quote from somewhere in the book. "Amras the Stableboy," by Henry Plantagenent, might be the best Denethor/Finduilas fic I´ve ever read: it´s slightly reminiscent of Shakespeare´s "Twelfth Night" and very nicely done. In it, Finduilas cross-dresses in order to play childishly along the beach, and Denethor, meeting her on a trip to Dol Amroth, is completely charmed by the "cheeky little boy," while, thanks to Finduilas´s clever maneuvering, is still unaware of her true identity. Although Denethor´s age has been moved closer to Finduilas´s by the author, and I find it difficult to reconcile this spirited version of Finduilas with the one who dies later--seriously; she´s so healthy and happy and determined it´s hard to imagine her dying of either sickness or grief--I like the fic a lot. |

I read one...it was more focussed on Faramir and Boromir as boys after their mothers death but it showed Denethor well. Can't remember where though. |

Perhaps it was a fic by Evendim? Evendim--aka Eambar aka Ivriniel--writes wonderful Faramir and Boromir stories. Denethor isn't a nasty, tyrannical, abusive person, and Finduilas is featured often. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/472411/Evendim http://www.fanfiction.net/u/905084/Eambar http://www.fanfiction.net/u/578287/Ivriniel (I don't know why she has three account...) Mm... Violin Ghost is also a wonderful writer. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/853880/Violin_Ghost Lilan: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/756865/Lilan That's all I can think up of at the moment. |
