Thought I'd reviewed that story already, but it seems as if not, or at least not here... read it for a second time just now and loved it even more than the first.

This was done often, but your version has angst and humor and h/c all well mixed together. I especially liked Halbarads son as captain of the guard, and how he reacted to Aragorns 'prank'.

It made for an enjoyable read, that also makes one think, of the wisdom of doing things in secret, of just thinking of ones own needs, and of great friends and loved ones who stand with one no matter what, and all that without being overly patronizing.

Truly, I like your writing style and the choice of your themes very much!
