I could read this chapter over and over... It is so good to see the mutual love btween Elrond and Aragorn finally free of the misunderstandings. LOL, I love the hint on Trotter. Give Aragorn a peppermint stick for me!
Author's Response: Thank you! This was soooo interesting to write, and gratifying, because I felt it gave me the opportunity to set some things straight that the movies completely mangled. I have never seen Elrond and Aragorn being so estranged that Elrond was ever cruel or cold, but yet still... there is that tenstion between them over Arwen that has to be addressed at least a bit now and then. Thinks aren't perfect even yet, but at least Aragorn's misconceptions about being unwelcome have been banished. And I'll pass along the peppermint stick. *grin* |
