| You know, Dreamflower, this story could easily be posted as a stand-alone. | |

| You know, Dreamflower, since "Good King Elessar" is a 6-chapter story, you ought to post it as a separate story. Then everyone who wants to read it could find it easily. It is a nice story--too nice to be hidden within any of your story anthologies! =) | |

| You should post this one as a separate story! It would be perfect for that. | |

| It's sad that Merry got hurt, although Pippin's hovering was both funny and expected. I love Frodo-lad, and my heart aches for him having to think of Uncle Strider as "The King" all the time now. Aragorn has an idea, does he...? Hmmm... Kaylee Author Reply: It was sad for Merry to get hurt, although necessary as you now know! It was fun to get to know Frodo-lad at this age; he'll adjust to his new role soon enough. | |

| I like the idea that Merry and Pippin saw to building a hunting lodge for the King, where he can be just Strider – with a few more comforts! They’re rather cheeky though to assume that there will always be a hobbit there to do the cooking – rather inviting themselves over aren’t they? ;) But of course Strider doesn’t mind one bit. I greatly enjoyed all the little tidbits as well, from Merry and Pippin sparring when they’re old enough to know better, Frodo-lad’s image of Estella boxing the King’s ears, his little flashes of fatherly advice and his habit of calling the King Uncle Strider. I can see Frodo’s in for an interesting Yule. Author Reply: I am just now finding a whole bunch of reviews I never replied to! You are quite right about the cheekiness of Merry and Pippin! Young Frodo really is going to have a memorable time! | |

| It’s so fitting that the children of the Travellers call Aragorn ‚Uncle Strider’. It has to be hard for Frodo-lad to change that now, if he’s only half as bad as his own father was with ‚Master’ Frodo ;-) Hm ... why I have the feeling Bergil could be right that it is a bad idea to leave Aragorn alone ... btw, I am glad he is the one who accompanied him. It’s always nice to see him again. And I am sure he was only too happy to see his hobbit friends again. Ah, so the hobbits built the kitchen of this hunting lodge only for hobbit cooks? Great excuse to stay with their Strider :-) Aragorn has an idea? Somehow I wonder if it is a *sensible* idea ... could it be that reading too much fanfiction makes one suspicious? | |

| He hides if Hobbits are seen? That has me curious, I must admit. Now, how will the two seek to succor the soul, and who will he turn out to be? Will be following this one. Author Reply: Those questions will be answered, believe me! It took me a while to work out, before it came to me who and what he was. | |

| This is just so delightfully heartwarming and I can well imagine Aragorn as "Good King Wenceslas." Author Reply: So can I! It really does seem the sort of thing he would do. | |

| This is so warm, awesome, and inviting! I am really enjoying this wonderful, wintry tale and am eagerly awaiting Part 2! Love the title, btw. ;-) Author Reply: I'm so glad you are enjoying it! Well, since the song was stuck in my head, the title was pretty much inevitable, LOL! | |

| Oh this is great Dreamflower. Can't wait for the rest. I could see it starting a trend - ME versions of other folk tales. After all, Elessar came before Good King Wenceslaus! So who got the idea from whom? Author Reply: Well, your humble scribe got the idea from Wenceslaus, but it's quite possible Wenceslas was following the example of another king from long, long ago! Who would know? *grin* | |
