    Summary

    Gravely wounded at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Éowyn is confined to the Houses of Healing for ten long days. Rest is demanded of her, while her thoughts remain fixed beyond the walls: on the war yet unfinished, and on Aragorn, whom she believes her heart is bound to follow.

    In the same quiet halls, Faramir lies recovering from wounds of both body and soul. Amid grief, disillusionment, and the slow work of healing, he finds an unexpected solace in Éowyn’s presence.

    As days pass, Faramir’s affection deepens into tender love. Éowyn, however, sees him only as a companion in recovery. But when the time comes to leave the Houses of Healing, and Faramir departs from her, she finds a gaping loss she cannot explain.

    Addendum 27 March 2026: This fic is part of a collection titled 'House of Dol Amroth'. The love stories of Imrahil's children - Elphir/Míriel, Erchirion/Nimrodel and Amrothos/Arwa and Éomer/Lothíriel are also in this series.

    Technically this fic should be ‘House of Húrin’ but I wanted to keep it together with the other stories in this collection.

    Summary

    That was the beauty of it, in sum: they could really speak of things. From politics to the price of potatoes to the most precarious of family matters. Yet, on so many subjects, she need not tell him. He knew. And he knew because he cared to know.

    But their time together at Delaford was drawing to a close. Marianne would be up and playing the pianoforte any day now. In fact, had Elinor not known any better, she would have wondered if Marianne was extending her bedrest on purpose. And still, this thing that grew between Elinor and Brandon did not yet dare to speak its own name.

    Summary

    After the War of the Ring, Éowyn took up Merry's invitation to stay in Brandy Hall with him as a healing retreat. Amidst the grief left by war, and the beauty that it spared in the land of hobbitfolk, their relationship developed through five meaningful instances, as retold by Gandalf. This is that retelling, preserved by the oral tradition of the Rohirrim and the records written about it on a later age.
