| Allee! I loved this... incredible insight - Gondor reeled from the ravages of the war - all aspects of it. The task had to be beyond daunting... worse than having to face a Balrog! Great job writing this and making Aragorn's pain our own... and vice versa! Author Reply: Thanks so much, Agape! Yes, poor Gondor; poor Aragorn. I can't imagine how Aragorn must have felt facing the task ahead. As you said, it had to have seemed more daunting than facing a Balrog. And Aragorn is certainly the sort of king who would not take the pain of his subjects lightly. Their collective grief, no doubt, weighed heavily on him. Again, thank you for your comments, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Allee | |

| He certainly needed the time to grieve--for Halbarad, for Theoden, for those he'd known for most of the past sixty years and those he'd come to know only in the past few days. And it's good he's taking time to let that grief have its due. One quibble--a coronation is when the king receives his crown--to be wearing it OUT to receive it is not quite--right. Maybe you could make it his coronation feast? Author Reply: Thanks Larner. I certainly think that Aragorn had plenty of losses to grieve, both recent losses and not so recent losses. Eek! Major logical glitch with the crown thing! I really want this scene to take place before his coronation, so I think we'll just remove the crown from his royal head for now. A million thank yous for pointing that out to me; I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me. Allee | |

| This was really a momentous event and you've captured it. The unsurety of it all....poor Aragorn. I know I've said this before and I am going to say it again...Beautiful! I am truly enjoying your vignettes. Please keep it up. More Please! RS Author Reply: I can't imagine what it must have been like for Aragorn to be confronted with the reality that he was actually, officially about the become king. I'm glad you're enjoying these vignettes. Vignettes are my absolute favorite thing to write, although I'm a little bogged down in short stories in progress at the moment. But there will always be more vignettes (including the Tales of the Innkeeper vignettes; I've not forgotten the innkeeper--he's just on hiatus). Allee | |
