Summary
"When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die? " (Return of the King : The Houses of Healing).
Eowyn and Faramir's meeting and courtship in the Houses of Healing, and their relationship up to their marriage and arrival in Ithilien. Starts mainly bookverse, with occasional movie-verse references, then goes off into the post-war world. Now complete.

Wonderfully realistic portrayal of the horrors and after-effects of war, as well as beautiful characterisation of Eowyn as a woman who knows battle and strives to take her place in Middle Earth not just as a woman, but as a person same as any man.

Summary
As the train takes me further away from Toshio, from the farm, the fields and the hayrides, the cucumbers cooling in a basket in the stream, I grow numb and cold inside despite the heat.

Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Absolutely amazing. No words to describe. In all my time reading fanfic since I was 12, this is the only work that I repeatedly come back to.
