I inadvertently smiled evilly when I read this. No fault of yours or your story--but it just provoked a plotbunny for a scary dark!fic in my mind. Don't worry though, I don't write dark fics, but Halloween and requests from friends for scary stories are all about me this month. Of course, Aragorn is far too strong and noble to give in to such impulses, but maybe he could have his brain scorched by a Nazgul or something (damage only temporary, but enough to cause some nervous moments at Faramir's sickbed). I am so sorry! I am not usually so silly (I am silly, but not about other people's lovely, well-written stories); please take this in the spirit it was sent--me overwhelmed by people nagging me for dark and scary ficlets or making me Beta-read them.
