Oh, that's awesome, that is! Your usual tight efficiency with words that manages to contain a lifetime of emotion and storytelling.
Fantastic characterization of Morwen, and I LOVE the additional bond you've placed between her and Eowyn, beyond that of blood. The mirroring of their way of loving - oh, it's marvelous; and that it made Eowyn all that more open to Faramir's love just when she needed it most. Great reasoning and totally in character, why Morwen focused on Eowyn instead of Eomer. How Eowyn must have grieved when Morwen was gone...
Love also the sword/sword-making language woven throughout; excellently thematic and appropriate!
Beyond it being a great drabble, I always rejoice to see Tolkien from you! :)
Erm... More Denethor lives AU? *hopeful look* You don't think we've forgotten about it, do you?
