| Hmmmmm...you certainly do have a good imagination...the reader would certainly be able to picture the agony that all three Hobbits must have been feeling, though each because of a different reason. The healing part...was that from your imagination, or was this in the extended version of the movie? You see, I only have the ones shown in the films, and so I miss a lot of the footage that the extended version has. It wouldn't be very hard for Aragorn to collapse anyways after willing himself into three exhausted and near-point death Hobbits. It was surprising he even got through Frodo, who was the nearest dying one. How long are you going to make this story? Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. Neither Tolkien's book, nor the films show anything from the time to Hobbits are rescued to when they wake up, which for some reason annoyed me.For that reason, I started writing LOTR fanfiction to fill in the gap ! Gandalf says At length Gandalf rose. ‘The hands of the King are hands of healing, dear friends,’ he said. ‘But you went to the very brink of death ere he recalled you, putting forth all his power, and sent you into the sweet forgetfulness of sleep. which gave me the idea for Aragorn's collapse, thought that is my own imagination. Author Reply: PS, this isn't a very long story and I hope to complete it it by April 8th. | |

| Come and slap the future king, sons of Elrond! He needs to realise that he has to keep enough back to help the sick again later! Good thing he was there to keep the hobbits fighting for survival, though. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. The sons of Elrond are appearing in the next chapter,so you gessed well ! | |

| I read this two years ago Linda and still remember it which is quite an accolade considering how much I read. It is great and I am looking forward to re-meeting the rest. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review and very kind words.I am amazed that you should have remembered my first attempt at LOTR fanfiction !I hope that you will find this version a trifle more polished,as I am trying to edit out the errors I made in the past and link it better with my other stories.I had intended this originally as my one and only LOTR Fanfic. | |

| I enjoyed this very much. I like the fact that you are showing Aragorn's struggles with all of the stress that he has upon him and the effort that he is having to put into the healing as one wounded hobbit after another comes under his care. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I wanted to show just how noble Aragorn is and the cost of his dtermination to save the Hobbits. | |

| Let me just say I am very interested in this Fanfiction. I just came across this site and your fic was the most recently updated/posted so I thought I'd give you a try. Though I will admit I don’t usually read the "general" type of fic I am a slash fan...I know lots of fanfiction writers look down on that but hey, if it's written good then why not? Right? But anyway I thought I’d try some general fic on for size and I think it fits just right! By the way I am a HUGE Frodo fan so the more of him the better! :) I am looking forward to the next update. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I fear this is probably the worse of my stories as it was my first LOTR one but am glad you are enjoying it. I promise there will be plenty more of Frodo in the story. | |

| I love you! lol Oh and I love your story's plot too! *teehee* (sorry I am such a nerd..^-^) Poor little Hobbits I always feel so sad when I read these hurt/comfort stories...my stomach seems to turn in nervous knots. Okay enough of my ramblings.... For now anyway... I think that this is a wonderful opening chapter. Keep up the great work! lots of love --Katie Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review and kind comments. I'm so pleased that you are enjoying my first effort at Tolkien fanfiction. I love reading hurt/comfort stories as well as writing them. I promise there is plenty more to come ! | |

| I'm not sure whether this is book or movieverse, since the time-frame seems to differ a bit from the book; and some characters are missing, but I'm enjoying it. Aragorn has to learn that he is not an Energizer Bunny, and can't just pour out the healing energy without his own strength waning. Physician, heal thyself, indeed! Or come up with a way to combine athelas and tea and imbibe it frequently during those long stretches of healing... Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I wasn't at all sure what I was doing when I wrote it, but hope to continue the polishing.I do mention some of the other characters later,like Imrahil and Eomer. I would not mind some athelas tea myself, but I guess tea will have to suffice !Aragorn still hasn't learned about 6 stories later to take things easy ! | |
