This was exactly what I'd hoped for and more! I am truly grateful for you reminding me of canon!denethor and now I see so many parallels to Magneto! I had forgotten how well Gandalf spoke of him.
I really wanted to save him--and by implication save Finduilas, Boromir, and Faramir--so I stepped into the past to do so.
And THANK YOU for doing so! I am very much looking forward to his part in the story now, especially when you show him around his fiancé!
I feel like a young Théoden would be a great deal like the rejuvenated king we see at the end of Return of the King, so he was easier to extrapolate backwards.
SO much YES! I agree completely.
Would he find himself without a home, without a future, with his love wedded to Aragorn or Théoden or some other lord?
Awww, you really make him sympathetic now.
THE APPENDICES! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Denethor's and Finduilas' meeting was a surprise but I like the outline you painted here of her character. I can't wait to read more!
"All my work is lost," she stormed at him
Well I'd be furious, too!
And Théoden really needs to learn to not value horses over tact so much... I forgive because he's twelve....though he doesn't seem to have changed too much by Clarity of Purpose ;-)
