Ficlet: "A Father's Words," Beregond, G
For my own Secondary Character Challenge....

Title: A Father's Words
Author: Kris (ribby@agliodbs.com)
Fandom: LOTR
Pairing: None
Rating: G
Summary: A conversation overheard, and a realization.
Feedback: Oh please, yes. Here or to ribby@agliodbs.com



It wasn't proper for a guard to eavesdrop-but, Beregond reasoned, surely it wasn't eavesdropping if you couldn't help but hear. Lord Denethor's latest upbrading of his younger son cut through even the heavy doors of the hall-and drifted down the hallway to where Beregond and his fellow guards stood.

Beregond winced-it wasn't his place to judge, but surely Lord Faramir didn't deserve this. Beregond would never be so harsh with his own son, whatever Bergil had done. And the more he listened, the more he realized that although he was loyal to Denethor, that didn't mean he had to like the man.

Of all the things he would teach his son, he vowed, the most important would be never, ever to doubt himself... and never, ever doubt his father's great love for him.

Beregond! Finally a great father in LOTR. (Most of them don't have the best records with theirs sons.) Love this from his perspective.

*big smooches*

Thanks! I've always liked Beregond, and he seems so protective of Faramir (and obviously dislikes Denethor, though he's loyal... but only to a point). Glad you liked it!

*big smooches back at you*
