Chapter 3

Faramir’s eyes were wide with pain, but despite the slight numbness starting to overtake his arm from the unnatural position, he could feel a soft touch at his wrist. Rahl was full of contradictions and confusing Faramir with every revelation. He winced when he bit down on his ear, though he felt heat pool low in his body. Gods, he was always ashamed of that reaction in himself, enjoying pain that way. Faramir staggered a little when Rahl released him so quickly and he looked at him in more confusion. “Y… yes, my lord,” Faramir said thinking it might be safest for now to not push his luck any farther. At least his father had taught him something.

Rahl entered his room a moment later, turned his back to Faramir and removed his robe. He slid under the blankets a moment later and spelled the door closed, locking it securely with half a dozen intricate locks and bolts. When the last one slipped into place, he eyed Faramir with something like irritation since he wasn’t in bed yet. “Well? Take that ridiculous tunic off and get into bed. And you should know that I am a very light sleeper and will likely as not wake up and fuck you a few times simply because I can.” With that, he turned his back toward the empty side of the bed and started whispering to himself. “Oh, and my magic protects me while I sleep, so if you ever try to hurt me in any way, you will likely loose a limb at the very least.”

Unsure of what Rahl wanted him to do, Faramir had simply stood beside the bed. He regretted the fact that he hadn’t been able to get more than a glimpse of the man’s body, holding him prisoner or not, the man was gorgeous. Faramir startled a little and pulled off his tunic, dropping it to the floor and slid into the bed. “I have no objections, my lord, nor a desire to hurt you,” Faramir said softly though his mind supplied the word ‘yet’ automatically. He didn’t trust the man but he did desire him. “Do… do you object to my touching you in other ways… it… your magic can tell the difference between a malevolent touch and one of… desire or comfort?” Faramir asked hesitantly.

Used to his companions sleeping as far from him as possible, it took Rahl several seconds to make sense of Faramir’s question. He’d kept his back to the man, determined not to let his desire be too obvious, so, fortunately, his surprise wasn’t too evident. Perhaps, he thought, his spell was lingering and Faramir still was feeling the pangs of desire he’d been flooded with earlier. The after effects of that particular spell usually lasted a few hours, but normally simply made its host tired and pliable. Faramir must have a weaker will than most, to allow himself to stay bewitched for so much longer than normal. That was the easiest explanation by far. “I… it can tell the difference,” he said somewhat suspiciously. “You may… take comfort from me if you wish. Just… don’t wake me. Ever.”

“Yes, my lord,” Faramir said softly. He turned and faced his “lover’s” back and moved closer, his hand caressing the other man’ back gently. “Sleep well, Lord Rahl,” he whispered softly. Faramir wasn’t sure why he wasn’t more appalled by his own behavior, his desire for this man who was admittedly cruel. A man who brought him here simply because he wanted him, a man who apparently liked to hurt his lovers. He wasn’t sure why his pulse would skip at that thought… well. Not entirely surprised with himself but this was the first time he’d allowed it to show that he didn’t mind the pain. What worried him was, had the spell made him feel these things or would he have felt this drawn to Rahl without it?

Every muscle in Rahl’s back stiffened as Faramir’s hand moved over his skin. The gentle touch was so unfamiliar; it made his chest ache in ways he couldn’t explain. Staring wide-eyed at the wall before him, he simply lay there unmoving trying to figure out how he could be so attracted to a man who was so obviously weak in will, if not in body. The spell would wear off soon enough, he figured, and Faramir would go back to his side of the bed, and since his magic protected him from harm, he had nothing to worry about really… yet, still, he couldn’t bring himself to sleep. Before long, though, completely against his will, his eyelids grew heavy, and one by one, his muscles began to relax. Without even realizing it, he sighed softly and drifted off into the first peaceful sleep he’d had in years.

Faramir noticed Rahl stiffen, perhaps unsure if the Ranger would be tempted to try to hurt him. Faramir of course would not, because he had no real reason to, the man hadn’t really hurt him. Yes, he was rough and was keeping him against his will and had used a spell on him but earlier… that hadn’t been rape. Even if it wouldn’t have happened under normal circumstances, Faramir couldn’t deny that he would have been daydreaming about it. Maybe he was feeling a slight bit guilty about being so easy to manipulate, though stronger men than he had bent to Saruman’s magic, why not this wizards? He continued to think about his situation and rub gently at the man’s back until he felt him relax completely. His own eyes were growing heavy again and at last he too slipped to sleep, curled close against Lord Rahl’s back.


Hours later, Darken Rahl slid his hand down over his stomach, still fast asleep. As his fingers encountered something different – namely, another hand – he held perfectly still and opened his eyes. In all his years of taking lovers, he’d never awoken to another’s touch. To whimpers and sobs certainly, to fearful eyes watching him from across the bed or across the room often, but… never to anyone touching him, for his lust spells usually wore off after sleep. He stared at the wall in silence, wondering if the man next to him – what was his name? Fadermir? Famerir? No… Faramir. Yes. Faramir – had tried to harm him and his protection spell had simply torn the man’s arm off and it had fallen against him. His fingers poked at the hand resting on his side and he was shocked to feel it move slightly in response. It was only then that he remembered the man asking permission to touch him. “You are sleeping very close to me,” he said in an oddly strained voice. “Very close indeed.”

Faramir was dozing lightly, enjoying the warmth of Rahl’s body and the scent of his skin, particularly the warm enticing scent just under the hair at the back of his neck. Faramir heard the words spoken but for a moment his dozing mind couldn’t make sense of them. “Hmm? Oh, yes, I suppose I am,” Faramir said, not bothering to move. “You are warm and smell so nice… you said it was all right as long as I had no plans to hurt you.”

Rahl lay in silence for a while before responding. “I said you might comfort yourself. I had no idea you would need comfort all night.” Despite his harsh words, he made no effort to move – which wasn’t something he wanted to think about just then. “Are you going to need comfort every night?” The thought that if Faramir would require it, he might send him to sleep with the rest of the slaves raced through his mind, but then, he reasoned, he wouldn’t have Faramir right there next to him when he wanted sex. Before Faramir could answer, Rahl sighed. “Never mind. Just remember the rules. I have no patience with repeating myself.”

Faramir drew back slightly when Rahl spoke, as if he were annoyed with him. Biting back a sigh, he rolled onto his back and stared up at the ceiling. “I will remember them,” he murmured. He wished he knew just what he should do. Normally, if he woke with a lover he was attracted to, he wouldn’t hesitate showing them how much he enjoyed being with them but… he had no idea how he should behave with Rahl. First of he all he was supposed to be a slave, even if he wanted the man. he was first and foremost a prisoner. He needed to stop thinking of Rahl as his “lover” and think of him properly before he got himself in trouble. Besides it was just basic animal attraction, lust… it would fade and then all that would be left would be his master’s magic. “Besides pleasuring you, my lord, will you wish other duties of me?” Faramir asked carefully, wanting to be perfectly clear what he was to do in this place.

Rahl was amazed at his companion’s forthrightness. He’d expected the man to beg to be released, or to cower in a corner or… something. Yet he was just lying there, almost relaxed, asking what Rahl wished of him. “If you have any other uses, I will find them and put them to good use,” he said, rolling over, and thinking that if anything, Faramir looked even more delectable after a good night’s sleep. “For now, however, I am only interested in one thing from you.” His usual spell was quickly murmured under his breath and he slid his hand beneath the blanket, ready and waiting to touch Faramir as soon as the spell took full affect.

Faramir thought that perhaps Rahl’s answer was to be expected and found he didn’t really mind so much. He wasn’t sure if his skills would be of use and it was likely the use of weapons would be the last thing he would be allowed. It was funny though, he couldn’t find it in him to hate is captor. He was uncertain about him but… he’d done nothing to make Faramir truly hate him… though perhaps that was to come? Or perhaps it was just as Faramir’s father always said, that he was too forgiving, too weak willed and too easy to manipulate because of his empathy and compassion that he showed for others. Gandalf had always said they were good qualities to have but his father certainly never had. All thoughts of his father though were wiped away when Rahl moved closer, he felt that same wash of something over his body, making his skin tingle and his half hard arousal grow even harder. Does he really need that spell? Faramir wondered, he didn’t think that Rahl needed it anyway but perhaps he was wrong. He was being controlled by magic, maybe his own thoughts now weren’t even really his own? When Rahl’s hand hovered over him though, Faramir pushed up into it, moaning softly. At the moment, he didn’t care.

Rahl’s hand rested on Faramir’s stomach and pressed down, smiling wickedly. Another spell darkened the room until they could barely see each other, and he flung the blankets back. An invisible force gathered Faramir’s wrists and pulled his arms above his head, secured them there and then trailed down to push his legs back up against his chest. “I might allow you to follow me to my office one day, or my library, so you can pleasure me with your mouth or spread these lovely legs of yours at a moments notice, but only if you’re very good.” Rahl moved to kneel at Faramir’s backside and leaned over until their lips were nearly, but not quite touching. “And I suspect you want to be very, very good for me right now, don’t you, pet? You want to make sure I’m happy so maybe I’ll be kind enough to let you come every day, don’t you?”

Faramir gasped when the room darkened and his arms were bound with… nothing at all except magic. It was somewhat frightening how easily Rahl used magic as if it were such second nature to him, he hardly even thought about it. He moaned as his body was manipulated, his knees pressed up toward his chest. “Yes, oh yes, I will strive to be very, very good for you, my lord. I think it would be very generous of you to allow me to find my release as well,” Faramir answered, part of his words driven by whatever spell Rahl had cast on him but part of it completely honest. If he were to have to choose his fate as a prisoner this… this would likely be the fate he would choose. Being made to have sex with a man he found intriguing and gorgeous… albeit a little rough and short tempered… but Faramir could handle and even enjoy that… was certainly not the worst fate he could have.

“You’ll find,” Rahl whispered, catching Faramir’s bottom lip between his own, “that I can be very, very generous.” His lower body pressed down hard against Faramir’s lower body, spreading his legs wider and putting just enough pressure on his testicles to make his point. “Or I can be cruel, if need be.” Sharp teeth worried Faramir’s lip as Rahl smiled and tugged lightly even as his hand moved down and slid between them. The pad of his thumb rubbed over Faramir’s opening and the tip slid inside. “But I can make you enjoy even the cruelness, my pretty little toy. Make you crave it with every fiber of your being. You know that, don’t you, Faramir? You know you’d beg me for it if that’s what I wanted, don’t you?”

Fire seemed to race through his vein’s when Rahl kissed him teasingly but when he ground down against Faramir, his thigh pressing cruelly up against his scrotum, the Ranger gasped and found his lip bitten almost to the point of drawing blood. While a part of him wanted to jerk away from this treatment, a darker part of himself that he hid with other lovers enjoyed the pain. His arousal did not wane a bit, in fact it grew harder. By the time Rahl’s thumb slipped inside his body that was still sore but open from the first time that night, Faramir shakily nodded in response. “Yes… yes. I serve only you, my lord. I am yours to do with as you please,” Faramir babbled, hating himself for saying such things and knowing that that was the magic, and his own wantonness was probably the magic as well, but he wouldn’t lie to himself… he really did enjoy this as sick as it was.

“Of course you’re mine,” Rahl said, drawing back to look at the man who lay immobile before him. “And I have exquisite taste, if I do say so myself.” He withdrew his hand, and a moment later, when he pushed it back against his lover’s opening two of his fingers were slick and wet. The digits danced lightly over the puckered skin, but didn’t push past it. “And look at this…” He pressed his finger against the bottom of Faramir’s entrance and he licked his lips as a drop of his own seed leaked out. “How thoughtful. You kept my release inside you all night, didn’t you? How sweet. But don’t worry…” His slick fingers pushed in all the way to the knuckle and scissored wide. “There’s plenty more where that came from, if you beg nicely enough.”

Bucking his hips up to meet his lover’s touch, Faramir moaned. He whimpered with need when Rahl teased him, his fingers just brushing against him. Faramir had never had his body ache like this, this need to feel a lover inside him quite this way. He shuddered when his lover continued to speak and then thrust his long fingers deep inside him, opening him even more. “Gods…” Faramir gasped, his hands grasping at the rails of the headboard to give him something to hang onto. “Have mercy and let me feeling you inside me again, to feel you stretching me and filling me… fucking me hard, pushing so deep I will still feel this morning for days to come,” Faramir practically babbled the words, appalled at himself but this was part of the magic… though again… not one word was entirely untrue though he probably would be tender for the next few days if Rahl really took him up on the offer.

Shuddering at the raw need in Faramir’s voice, need he’d heard often enough thanks to his mastery of magic, but never quite this heartfelt, Rahl freed his fingers, chanted softly and felt another unseen force slick his swollen shaft with lubricant. “Days?” Rahl laughed and shook his head. “ I’m thinking weeks. In fact, I think I’m going to fuck you every day and every night until you won’t remember what it’s like not to feel me, what it’s like not to wince when you sit down.” With that, Rahl lined himself up and thrust forward, burying himself balls deep in one smooth motion.

Faramir arched under his lover, trying to drive the questing fingers even deeper and cried out when slick fingers drew away. He was desperate to feel his lover inside him and it was practically heaven when Rahl thrust deep, stretching the still sore muscles painfully but a pain that Faramir did not mind at all. He was begging, almost chanting the words, ‘yes, please and harder’ in a soft mantra. Faramir could feel his own shaft, throbbing against his abdomen, needing friction but he couldn’t reach down to touch himself. He moved his hips, trying to rock upwards to rub against his lover’s body, desperately.

Faramir was moving, riding him so eagerly, Rahl could nearly have stayed still and came from the vibrations alone. Never one to be passive, however, he simply drove himself in even deeper and set up a rough, hard cadence. After a few dozen thrusts, he reached up and pinched Faramir’s nipples hard, then gave them a sharp twist before he let go. “Oh, I wish I had found you long ago,” he smirked, panting for air and watching Faramir’s reaction, feeling his cock swell even more in response “You suffer absolutely beautifully.”

A yelp escaped when Rahl’s fingers worked at his nipples, pinching and twisting painfully but though the pain made him want to twist away at first, it changed within moments. That same pain seemed to shoot straight downward to Faramir’s untouched cock. It throbbed heavily, precome dribbling onto his stomach and he thought for a moment that he might just come without being touched. His hands struggled against the invisible bonds and he looked up, catching Rahl’s eyes for only a moment. “Let me touch you? Please, my lord?” Faramir asked, doubtful that Rahl would say yes, but at least he asked.

Rahl completely lost his rhythm as Faramir’s question registered. Perhaps the man wasn’t weak after all; perhaps he was simply an extraordinarily skilled liar, pretending and waiting until the opportunity to kill his new master presented itself. “Of course you may not touch me,” he snapped, regaining his rhythm and pushing Faramir’s legs further apart roughly. The action made his entrance even tighter and nearly drove Rahl over the edge. Even in the near darkness, he could see Faramir’s desperate need to come, could just make out the engorged head of his cock as it dripped on his belly. There was no need to allow it, of course, other than the mere fact that when his lover’s came, their release prolonged Rahl’s by the simple act of internal muscles spasming around him. Faramir had, after all, not fought him, so he didn’t begrudge him his little pleasures. His fingers danced in the air and one of Faramir’s hands was freed. “Touch yourself if you are so eager.”

Rahl’s answer disappointed Faramir, but he couldn’t register the disappointment before his legs were pushed painfully further apart. His thighs ached and his entrance burned from the abuse but he was so completely caught up in his need that it only fueled his desire more, not less. He moaned wantonly and when his hand was released, Faramir wasted no time, slipping his hand between them to grasp his aching cock. Tipping his head back into the pillow, Faramir began to stroke himself roughly, trying to keep pace with the brutal pace that his lover had set. The angle shifted slightly and the thick cock inside him slammed directly against his sweet spot. Faramir cried out, his body arching under his lover as his muscles clenched hard. He tried to keep himself from coming just yet but couldn’t stop himself.

The sound Rahl made as Faramir came sounded like a part-growl, part roar of some feral animal. It was as if every nerve in his body was set on fire and an invisible fist completely enveloped his cock, pumping it in a perfect rhythm. His back arched as deeply as Faramir’s, driving himself in even further, his cock pushing bruisingly past contracting muscles, and he came just as forcefully as he had the night before. Hands clutching at Faramir’s legs hard enough to bruise, he closed his eyes and allowed himself a moment of pure bliss, something he didn’t do often, before opening them again and breathlessly regarding the man before him. Without a word, he pulled out and moved back to his side of bed, the sheets wrapped around him, feet on the floor, forearm wiping the sweat from his brow.

If he hadn’t just found his release, Faramir might have come from the sound Rahl made. He shuddered, still feeling the aftershocks of his own climax as his lover finished, thrusting so hard and deep inside him, that Faramir was certain he would be wincing for the rest of the day anytime he bent down or sat down. When Rahl pulled away from him, Faramir practically collapsed against the bed, panting. His hand was covered in his own seed, as well as his stomach and his other arm was still magically bound above his head. He laid there for several moments trying to catch his breath, disappointed that Rahl had moved away from him so quickly again. He licked at dry lips. “My… lord?” he could barely say the words, his breathing was so shaky, “Could you release my arm? I promise not to try to touch you.”

Rahl was still shaken by the force of his release, not to mention his moment of weakness afterward, when he lost himself in his slave’s admittedly attractive body. His thoughts were interrupted by Faramir’s question, however, and brought him back to the present. Standing quickly, he reached for his robes, slipped them on, and then waved a hand in Faramir’s direction, making certain he was completely covered before Faramir could move enough to clearly see him. A moment later, the room again was flooded with the morning sunlight, just as there was a timid knock on the door. A servant announced that his breakfast was ready, then bare feet scurried down the hall away from his room, terrified of Rahl’s wrath should the food not be what he desired or not cooked to his preferences. “I think it will be quite some time before I tire of you,” he mused. “You are very… entertaining.”

Unable to turn enough to see Rahl dress, Faramir simply lay for a moment quietly. When his arm was released he sat up, wincing at the burning of his backside and the slick fluid leaking down his thighs. He had finger-sized marks on his hips and thighs that he was certain would turn to bruises on his fair skin later in the day. None of those things pained him as much as the flood of sunlight into the room though. “Ack,” Faramir threw his sore arm up to cover his eyes for a moment and shook his head. He wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do, so he simply moved to sit on the edge of the bed, his bare feet surprisingly warm against the marble floors. “Thank you,” Faramir answered, not quite sure if he really should be as pleased as he felt. “My lord, is there… somewhere I can clean myself?”

Cool! I like where this is headed, even though I don’t know the other fandom.

Oh now this is a crossover I can sink my teeth into. I love both fandoms. I’m so excited about this story. Thank you for this. I can’t wait for more!

— Kelly    Monday 11 May 2009, 15:26    #

Crossover!!! oooOOOOooooo!!!!

— Eoselene    Tuesday 12 May 2009, 9:34    #

I didn’t know the other fandom involved in this crossover but man am I glad you turned me onto it. Now I have a new series I am greatly enjoying and your wonderful story to look forward to. Thanks!

— PrphtssP    Monday 8 June 2009, 6:23    #

Well I certainly never believed I’d ever see these thoughts or traits emerging from Darken Rahl of all people! This is very interesting indeed. I am enjoying it very much.

— Kelly    Tuesday 7 July 2009, 22:24    #

Well I certainly never believed I’d ever see these thoughts or traits emerging from Darken Rahl of all people! This is very interesting indeed. I am enjoying it very much. I’m in the midst of this book series right now so this is a great time for me to enjoy this story. Thank you both again for entertaining me thoroughly.

— Kelly    Tuesday 7 July 2009, 22:25    #

I just noticed I forgot to comment after this last post. I so love this. I’m loving seeing some things floating around in Rahl’s head that you wouldn’t expect in a million years! And who else could do this to him other than our dear, sweet, oh so naughty Faramir! I cant wait for more!

— Kelly    Thursday 23 July 2009, 21:38    #

Awesome!!! I am so loving the frustration level here! Faramir’s frustration with Rahl not believing him is one thing but Rahl’s frustration with Faramir and those little “feelings” he has no idea what to do with is just so fun. Feelings and Rahl dont normally even go in the same sentence so this is just so cool to be able so watch this all unfold. More please.

— Kelly    Tuesday 28 July 2009, 21:23    #

I almost feel sorry for Rahl..almost. He doesn’t have a chance. But then who could resist our Faramir? Can’t wait for more!

— Kelly    Tuesday 18 August 2009, 19:50    #

Drip, drip, drip. I feel the ice melting from a certain wizard’s heart. What power our Faramir wields. He can turn even the most vile heart to mush. As always, I am loving this and can’t wait for more. If Faramir is successful in making a very big change in Rahl,I wonder just how different his meeting with the Seeker would be?

— Kelly    Tuesday 25 August 2009, 19:11    #

Loved chapter 12, and the way their two worlds are “intertwingling” now. Fire and ice….

— ebbingnight    Thursday 10 September 2009, 22:58    #

I have no patience any more. This is impossible!!! You write gorgeous but.., but a little slowly… Forgive me for that. I want to see Faramir happy so much… I want Rahl would believe Faramir loves him truly. He is so stubborn…
Thank you!

Ugh! You two are seriously killing me! Every time I think our wonderful, oh so irresistible, Faramir is going to break through that last wall to Rahl, the door goes slam (and very loudly I might add)! It is beyond frustrating for both Faramir and me (hee hee). I was so sure this time he had it. However, do not take that as anything but the total compliment that it is. I love it. It’s what keeps me checking back daily (blushes, ok several times a day at least) for new updates. I so love this story. Well done!

— Kelly    Tuesday 15 September 2009, 0:09    #

Oh yes, magic is definitely at work here, but not the kind with which Rahl is familiar! I was happy to see in Chapter 13 that at least the children in the castle aren’t terrified of him.

— ebbingnight    Tuesday 15 September 2009, 16:46    #

Ouch! That time the door slammed shut so quickly it got me in the nose! Tease, tease tease!

— Kelly    Tuesday 15 September 2009, 16:52    #

Ah that’s better. I have been waiting for that reading. I can see the door is now slightly ajar. Hopefully Faramir gets the rest of himself through it. You two really have me wrapped up in this story. I was so excited to see a new addition I read it immediately. The greatest compliment I can give you is that you know a story is good when you can really picture yourself in the middle of it all watching it unfold. I have done that with basically all of your stories I have read. This one however will always be a favorite of mine.

— Kelly    Thursday 17 September 2009, 16:20    #

Totally love the way that Rahl is now trying to talk Faramir out of loving him—- for his own good! Getting closer and closer now to realizing what “love” actually means, I suspect!

— ebbingnight    Friday 18 September 2009, 1:07    #

Now this is really interesting. I’m so loving it. With all this emotoinal turmoil going on I cant wait to see things really explode when Richard decides to show up at some point.

— Kelly    Tuesday 22 September 2009, 17:04    #

Ha ha the power our beloved Ranger wields and doesn’t even realize it. Now he’s got Rahl healing broken bones without a second thought about it. Stick a fork in him, he’s done. I’m surprised he’s holding out as long as he is. I would have given in to Faramir in less than 5 seconds.

— Kelly    Wednesday 30 September 2009, 21:32    #

On behalf of all of us who have been waiting oh so impatiently for this event. Thank you!!!!!!!!!! The door has opened and the sun is shining brightly through the doorway.

— Kelly    Monday 5 October 2009, 20:00    #

And endlessly Rahl has surrendered!!! My heart is thrilled as when I’m thinking of Rahl’s power and magic as when I imagine bright beauty of Faramir. I think they must look incredibly together! Now I just hope this story will have the happy end for I’m afraid that the seeker could brihg them to harm! But I so want Rahl would allow himself to be truly loved!
Thank you! It was gorgeous as always!

— Anastasiya    Monday 5 October 2009, 20:37    #

You have charmed me once agian with this wonderful addition to your story. I cannot wait to see the meeting of Faramir and the Seeker.

— PrphtssP    Thursday 8 October 2009, 9:09    #

I know you wont be surprised at all to hear this from me but… totally awesome!!! I so enjoyed this I had to read it twice. Well done!

— Kelly    Tuesday 13 October 2009, 17:21    #

Oh joy! This just keeps getting better and better all the time. You are probably getting so sick of hearing from me by now but I cant help it. I so love this story. I cant wait to get more.

— Kelly    Monday 26 October 2009, 17:20    #

Extremely exiting!
It made my heart practically stop!
Confrontation of two the most important for Rahl men! I regret only that they both have promissed Rahl to become friends and cannot wrangle openly any more… Though, I think, they will be always have no special sympathy of one another.
I like the way Faramir is jealous and Rahl demonstrate him his affection!
I could read about them endlessly!
And though I understand it’s not so simply to write, I hope to see new chapters faster…
Thank you very much!

— Anastasiya    Thursday 29 October 2009, 15:44    #

I so love a jealous Faramir! He must be just so lovely that way (not that he isnt all the time anyway). I’ll put $20 on our Faramir against Demmin anytime and if he has any trouble I will be happy to help him with whatever he needs. If this keeps up Rahl is going to be to worn out to give Richard much trouble. Faramir may have to settle this. Very diplomatically I hope, as I dont want anything bad happening to Richard either. I quite like him also. As always, well done! I anxiously wait each new piece. I am going to be so bummed when this story is over.

— Kelly    Thursday 29 October 2009, 17:43    #

OMG! I think that was the fastest I have ever read through an addition. Oh please tell me I wont have to wait long to find out what happens next.

— Kelly    Monday 2 November 2009, 15:24    #

Oh, it was…strange!
I hope you know, dear writers, that I am devoted admirer of your works, but request about permission to leave Rahl’s world never to return was too much even for me. Of course I want Rahl to see Faramir’s world, to meet Denethor (!!!) and perhaps to play his own role in the War of the Ring (it would be interesting to see powerful Rahl standing against Witch King for example) but I also wish Rahl would become a creator bringing Peace and Good to his people. I wish I could see him as a healer and as a ruler loved by everybody. I would be very delighted too see Faramir and Rahl to be jealous and I’ve already forgotten when I read about their intimacy last time… Though it will be other story for Rahl knows now what love is.
I have said already I could read about them endlessly. And I truly think this story is the one of the most successful works I have ever read.

Wow! I am exhausted just reading! Leave it to Faramir to get things done. I love it. I was totally not sure how this would work out in the end. I cant wait to see how going to Middle Earth works out for them. I wouldnt mind Denethor getting more than a cramp for his bad behaviour. As always, I so love this and anxiously anticipate more. Just when I think I cant get any deeper into this story, there’s another level I get caught up in. Well done!

Oh I like this. Life in middle earth, specifically Ithillien, is going to be so much more fun. I oh so impatiently await the next chapter. I just hope they get out of there before Zedd or Kahlan gets out of Richard what he did.

I have not finished to read everything, but your style is really good and the story interesting.
Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful ending, as their converging paths of seemingly dark desires have finally led Faramir and Darken to discover together what love is. I adore the fact that now Faramir has to stop Darken from constantly healing him, and that there is total trust between them. This was worth traveling between worlds for!

Thanks for this terrific crossover: it really worked for me.

Oh, dear authors! You have described ten years of happy marrige in Gondor faster than the year in Rahl’s world. And I am happy and sad at the same time. Happy – because of very good end, but sad – because of this wonderful story is over. I do not know how to live further without them.
But thank you very much. It was truly great work!

So sorry to be late in posting. I have been down with some cold/flu thing the last few days and couldn’t get on to read this fabulous finale. What a wonderful ending to a fulfilling journey. I have been hooked from the very first line and although I’m sad to see it go, a more fitting end I couldnt have envisioned. Thank you both for giving me such a wild ride that I am sure I will enjoy many more times to come.

I so love this story! It’s certainly one of my favorites. You did such a good job there and I can only second the others. Lots of hot, kinky sex and a compelling storyline, too. You’ve made me happy.

However, since I read this the first time I always hoped for a follow-up. The idea of Rahl in Middle Earth… Oh, I would have loved that!

Don’t know either fandom well, but I enjoy your writing. I just wish Rahl would use the mind reading spell already! He thinks Faramir is a liar so find out for sure whether he should send him back lol

Oh my God, this is so good! Almost to the end, and both of our boys are gonna die? Faramir and Rahl both?! Aww… Didn’t think I would be rooting for the villains …

Surprised and delighted at the ending! I would have loved to have seen Rahl be taken by Faramir as he spoke about last chapter, but really liked it. Would have enjoyed seeing more of their time here, but it was good. Know you wrote this a long time ago, so you probably don’t even get these comments but nicely done
