Summary
Éowyn and Faramir both awaken in the Houses of Healing, following the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Faramir faces an uncertain future as the new Steward of Gondor, and he struggles to confront his losses. Meanwhile, Éowyn is dismayed that she did not meet the end in battle that she desired, and struggles to see prospects for herself beyond death as a soldier. By chance, the two of them are drawn together. Will they find hope and healing in one another? How will they build a life and love together from the ruins of war and the crumbling of an age?
This is a detailed gap-filler & book-canon compliant story, detailing how Éowyn and Faramir built their relationship together in the Houses of Healing and beyond, into the Fourth Age. It is intended to be a slow burn with copious characterization, eventual romance, and context-appropriate spice.
The story is in-progress as of June 2026. Thank you for your patience with the slower updates during my PhD graduation. I am done now and continuing to write this consistently. Just an FYI that even if progress is slow, I will not abandon this fic ever. I will update this description and mark complete when finished.
