A/N- i have a ficlet version, double drabble version and now a drabble (100) word version. I guess i like this topic very much. :P 

Dark dreams had invaded his conscience before Faramir was drawn back to the living by the King. Only rest was demanded for him.

“Rest, regain your strength..”

Faramir had no choice but to heed the healers’ orders. He was close to death and wondered by what grace of the Valar had he been rescued.

You are the Steward of Gondor now.

Sorrow filled his heart. Still, the overwhelming duty to recover won out against reminiscing. There would be a time to mourn further. Faramir wondered if the fortunes for the West could lead to a chance for a hopeful spring.

the overwhelming duty to recover

Yes, even that would be a duty, commanded by his King.

[periantari]

Yes, indeed! For all his life, Faramir had known only duty. I think that is similarity with Eowyn who said movie-verse to Theoden What other duty would you have me do my lord?
(i love that scene from the movie =)

Faramir deserves this break indeed! An interesting character for sure

[periantari]

Thanks and i do think so too! Faramir is my favorite lately. :)

So much responsibility, and so much grief. But still he has hope and that's so important.

[periantari]

Hope has kept him going for a long time even though hope was hard to find in many instances. Love exploring that.
