This is beautifully atmospheric and quite moving. I adore the idea of a modern-day interpretation of Gondor, and I love how you've portrayed it as very much part of the real world. I was fascinated by the private tour of the ruins, and have to admit I started to idly brainstorm ways to get some funding for the place so they could restore it and have more tourists in. ^_~ Loved the beautiful architectural details, and I actually teared up at Aragorn and Boromir's meeting. That was a really affecting moment, and I just ate it right up.
And to top it all off, I quite liked the guide. *G* He felt very familiar, as if his mannerisms came from someone I'd "met" before. This whole story was absolutely beautiful and affecting, every bit of it. Love it, Alex!
