"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.' - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice. Another take on how Eowyn came to love Faramir. Slight AU timeline/events.

AU - Eowyn is sent to Ithilien by her brother to get her away from Edoras and Wormtongue. Promped by Sian making an off-hand remark about Rangers in tight spaces, then adding that this was just what she wanted to take her mind off her migraine. Started out as PWP migraine cure, but has now taken on a life of its own - AU all the way through to Pelennor and Houses of Healing.

Do you believe in love at first sight? I do not, no matter what the Professor tells us. So here comes my attempt of a plausible and hopefully entertaining story why and how Éowyn and Faramir came to love each other. Classical gap filler; strictly book-verse.

PG for mild innuendo. This is an homage to the brilliant Owner's Guides by Theresa Green, which I adore. If you enjoy, write a review and let me know!

With the wedding only three days away Eowyn does not think she can withstand the desire she feels for Faramir. Can Faramir show enough self control to not ravage her right then and there? Mithril Awards Finalist
