Title: "No More Doubt"

Rating: General
Warnings: none
Characters: Eowyn (reference to Faramir)
Disclaimer: The genius characters are from Tolkien- i just merely like to fill in some blanks.

Eowyn was always doubtful of other people’s good intentions. How could she think otherwise? Her parents passed too soon; she loved her uncle, but it always seemed obligatory for him to love her and Eomer in the same way.  Unconditionally.

When King Theoden was ailing, she took care of him with love and duty, but she saw love in only that way. Duty.

So when Faramir looked at her not with pity, but with utter respect and adoration,  she had not felt this feeling ever before.

There was no holding back her mutual affection.  Maybe there was something called love.

She had not expected someone like Faramir and what a discovery that turned out to be!

yes i think it was a gradual realization and then she could not resist the mutual attraction. :)

Poor Eowyn and her conflicted feelings to love and duty! Nicely captured.
