Summary
Faramir and a company of men left for Minas Morgul on assignment from the King. For three long weeks, Eowyn waited for word of their progress, but none ever came. Refusing to wait any longer, she heads a search party, determined to find her husband. What she and the others find instead is a city twisted and stained by the evils of Sauron, or perhaps something worse. Each step further into the heart of the city takes them deeper into horrors both real and imagined. But Eowyn's love for Faramir runs true enough to overcome these hideous obstacles...doesn't it?

Summary
A year and a half ago, Faramir was killed in battle, and the war raged on. Boromir continued to lead his soldiers, even as his father slipped deeper into despair. He learned to shoulder Denethor's grief alongside his own, but as the days wore on, grief seemed to turn to delusion as the Steward of Gondor insisted without evidence that his second son still lived.
Now, as the war with Mordor draws towards its end and the forces of the West rally to Minas Tirith, Boromir must face the horrifying truth. He once swore that he would do anything for the sake of Gondor, and Sauron intends to put that to the test.

Summary
A few Breath of the Wild inspired drabbles.
As a penance for their challenge to the West, the first born son of the ruling family of Numenor's remnants must live a life of servitude to a patron god. They, along with an appointed knight, must then devote themselves to the task of keeping the threat of Sauron at bay. So it went for many years. Then Faramir and Eowyn were born.

Summary
We know Aragorn saved Faramir, Eowyn, and Merry from the Black Breath. But history is light on the details. Until now! Here is the account from Aragorn's perspective of how he delved into the psyches of two very clearly depressed people and a Hobbit who isn't quite sure if he's properly Hobbitish anymore. It's up to the hands of the (not yet properly validated) king of Gondor to draw back his friends from the treachery of the wicked Witch-King of Angmar.

Summary
Five times Faramir's ability to read hearts and minds got him in to some sort of trouble, minor or major, and one time it didn't.
Split into six chapters.
1. Learning of his ability at a most inopportune time for his unprepared parents. Genre: humor/family.
2. Meeting someone he thought only existed in fairy tales. Genre: friendship.
3. Looking into the mind of an Orc as it dies. Genre: horror, but hopefully not too intense(and not gory either).
4. Searching for reassurance in all the wrong places. Genre: mild (teen) angst
5. Faramir and Denethor's strained relationship hits a boiling point. Genre: family, angst, drama
6. Avoiding dealing with things creates unintended consequences. Genre: angst, maybe a bit of humor

Summary
Yeah it's a William Butler Yeats reference because I am what those in literary circles refer to as "a basic bitch".
Lion Heart covers Boromir's troubles with leading Gondor's armies against Sauron in the final days of the war. Complications arise from a despairing father, an undead brother, a scheming wizard who means well, and the return of a king Boromir finds himself resenting.
Wolf's Head covers Faramir's time in Barad-dur and the aftermath of Lion Heart.
A (very) hopeful 3rd installment covers Eowyn's growing bond with Faramir, and Boromir angsting over this as he assumes his Stewardship over a very different Gondor than the one he fought for.
