| B2MeM Challenge: b1 Forth Éorlingas: Shieldmaiden; n38 Steward and his sons: Captain of the Ithilien Rangers Format: Drabble Genre: Rating: General Warnings: None Characters: Éowyn Pairings: Éowyn/Faramir Summary: Fighting is not the hardest thing she's ever done. She had grown calling great deeds courage, but had lately learned that one can do the impossible and remain a coward. Fight. Dissemble. Lose. Kill. Breathe. These things she could do. What Éowyn daughter of Éomund could not do was remain tranquil before the Steward's insistent shower of respect. Of interest. Of affection. That a captain of men understood what bravery she needed, that he demanded nothing, upset her. Giving one's heart to another-- this she could do. But receive someone's heart? Feel? Want? In her years she had learned to survive, but had never learned to live. ~the end |
