This was a very interesting take on how Aragorn's personality changed during the years after he learned of his true identity and had to leave home, and on how those changes also altered the role he played in the life of his family and friend.

I liked that you also used this story to repair the rift between Aragorn and Elrond (the Mellon Chronicles were my stepping stone into fanfiction, and I can't imagine Elrond as anything else but a loving father ;-). I really enjoyed Aragorn sneaking into Legolas' room because his friend's calming presence enabled him to find sleep. I just love those little scenes when the strength of their friendship shines through so clearly. :)

Author's Response: Hehe..., I also stumbled first onto the Mellon Chronicles when I entered this fandom, and still sometimes that is to me personally more 'canon' than the books at least :-).

Well, the scene with Aragorn sneaking into Legolas' room is the reason why I posted it at all. I thought perhaps someone might like that. All the rest was rather just rambling of mine, a way to deal with some stuff that came up at that time in my life. I have a very good relationship with my parents. Just a child stays a child and parents are parents until death and perhaps beyond, so sometimes at least for me - all 'grown up' and independent for ages already - still these issues can emerge in small portions now and then :-).

Oh, I didn't expect that. And it was unexpectedly good, Amarok. Yes, growing up. The family needs to let grow up. And the need of honesty in the family, the need to say the thing as they are, to call them by their true names. Aragorn is lucky to be surrounded by ones who are able and willing to accept the fact the he has changed.

Can I have Elrond as family too? :-)

Author's Response:
... oh..., thanks for your paise... I was really nervous about this, but like you I think growing up and letting grow up, and talking about underlying feelings and troubles, is important.
Uhm..., and if you could have the family we'd have to be siblings, I'd want a place there as well ;-)
