Dead Steward's Gift (572): stefaniab
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=5660
Teen, Reason for Rating: The story does not have sex, violence, gore,
monsters, or truly horrifying events. However, it does have scenes that
are meant to scare--it's a mystery, after all.
Romance Partners: OMC/OFC, Faramir/Eowyn
When a stranger appears with a message from his deceased father,
Faramir, newly Steward to King Elessar, is plunged into a whirlwind of
mystery, hauntings, naughty kitties, deceit, and ghosts.

This mystery/comedy fills a Movieverse gap: did Denethor have his very
own palantir and if so, what happened to it? The tale also illustrates
some of Tolkien's themes in his essay "The Palantir" in "Unfinished
Tales."

"Dead Steward's Gift" was begun for the 2007 Halloween challenge at the
LOTR GEN fic Yahoo Group.
