Oh, I like this very much! And Boromir has a valid point, at least from a young boy's perspective; it's not as though Earnur's just going to rise from the grave, and there's no other descendants of Anarion out there...or are there? *Grin*

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. It's sweet of you to comment twice, both here and on AO3. :)

A good question to ask, although he is still not ready to accept--or possibly to even understand--the answer. Too bad that at the time of the true return of the King Denethor was not ready to do what was expected of him as Steward, but instead sought to demean Aragorn's ancestry.

Yes, yielding wasn't something that Denethor found easy. Thanks for commenting.
