Awww, sweet little frienship tale. Thanks for sharing.
P.s. Aragorn's coronation will not be in too distant future, and I'm sure Ferdinand will still be very much alive when that happens... *khm-khm*
Author's Response:
True... but it's 15 years after the coronation that Elessar finally returns north. And of course, Aragorn has no idea of that yet--we're in that privileged spot of being in the know. *g* So he's justified in his worries, methinks.
Glad you enjoyed the story!

You know how I like hints of humor; I giggled at "she would faint" and "they would devour her before she even had a chance to open her mouth". :)
And I bet that she really was surprised in the end and that she didn't completely understand what was going on. :) But she'll discover it one day. :)
Author's Response:
Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm delighted you enjoyed this ficlet. I like to add bits of humour!She will indeed find out!

Thank you! More should be up in a couple of days.

I love it; there is no action in this chapter, and yet, it is so full of tension. So well done! ;)
Author's Response:
Thanks for the lovely review! I'm glad the tension in this chapter came through. Hope you keep reading!

It is really sad, and shocking, and terrible, what one "human being" can do to another.
Excellent writing, as always. ;)
Author's Response:
Yes, I went into rather a dark place with this chapter. I thought it was important, for this story, that the evil deeds be committed by Men (rather than orcs/Nazgul/fantasy-villain-of-your-choice) since humans really are capable of atrocities for all kinds of reasons.
I hope you keep reading despite the bleak moments.

I knew it! I knew Kalima's wound would get worse because her mother had stitched it! Ok, ok, "things can go wrong anyway", as Aragorn politely put it, but we know the reason for the problems that appeared, don't we?
I read this chapter "in one breath", as we say in Croatian.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! I'm so glad this chapter drew you in.
Yeah, it's generally a bad idea to stitch a dog bite. We do it occasionally here in the wacky world of veterinary medicine, but we have antibiotics. Asima meant well, though.
Hope you keep reading!

This is great. I can't wait for Sunday!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the conclusion!

Date: 04/29/13 Title: Chapter 11: Be All My Sins Remembered
Yes, while still reading, I wondered if you'd describe Aragorn's adventures. :)
I like the chapter, especially the last part. There is not much happening - only Hakim's general description of the events, but I love the way you did it. There is some special melancholic, sad tone in it that I like.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you liked the tone, especially towards the end. I hope you enjoy the final wrap-up to this tale.

Date: 05/02/13 Title: Chapter 12: Epilogue: For Peace
Well, my only objection to this epilogue is that it's too short! Yes, yes, I know, it's only epilogue, and right now Aragorn has other duties so he can't chat with an old friend, but nevertheless, I wish this was longer!
Thank you for this wonderful journey.
Author's Response:
I was so tempted to make this longer and to include all the conversations with old friends catching up . . . I had to resist, though, to keep the tone I wanted. I'm toying with the idea of writing a sort of "appendix" to this story with those kinds of "deleted scenes."
Thank you for all your support along the way!

I haven't read "While hope lasts", so maybe some backgorund things are less clear to me than to someone who has, but all in all, I think I understand all the events and all the relationships, except the details about Laleth's sickness. But I'm sure I'll found out soon. :) I like the mystery in this chapter (and I am just as courious as is little Aragorn) and I'm looking forward to next chapter. :)

Really excellent story - the sort that you just can't stop separate from, not for a second, until you reach the end. You got one of my votes.

I am very glad that you decided to expand Teitho version - I thought that the young man deserved the second chance. And so it was. Lovely story!

Thank you. I'm delighted that you enjoyed this. The Muses just wouldn't let me escape and I could not leave Fikri to die.
