| A Little Misunderstanding by Radbooks | 10 Review(s) |

| Now this I really enjoyed! I love any fic with Elladan and Elrohir. I appreciate the way u depict them too. Many people make them act very childish and wreckless for experienced warriors who are nearly 3000 years old. I have always been curious myself if Elladan inherited his father's gift of foresight. You should write more fics that have them as serious characters. That way I can perve and salavate over them even more lol. Keep it up! Author Reply: Thanks so much for taking time to review my story. It was a nice surprise for me. I always portray Elrohir and Elladan the way they appear in this story and not as pranksters - I just don't think that's the way Tolkien portrays them in the few glimpses we get of them. Thanks again! | |

| I enjoyed this very much as I love your Ranger stories and halbarad is a favourite of mine. You also make the twins far more interesting than in many stories.I feel so sorry for Ivorwen.An excellent story. May I just suggest you put your AN at the end as it gives away part of the plot. | |

| Hi, my name is Sue and I'm from England, I can't sign in as I don't have an account here! One question - are Rilost and Lamaen the two friends of Halbarad who were killed in the orc attack on Dolomar a few years before Aragorn returned? Just wondered! Author Reply: Hi Sue! Ah, you picked up on that, did you? I didn't expect that anyone would, it was just a small detail that I added in there - mostly to please myself because I didn't think most people would remember that part in 'Brothers at Heart'. Good job! :) | |

| Delightful tale... not used to seeing 'young' Halbarad and this was a treat. I liked the fact that the boy ran - seemed so plausible - (should have run on the Pelennor!) and I liked the fact that Elladan needed healing too. Though Elrohir was correct - eventually Elladan would have shared his guilt. But this was good time and place. And I'm very glad they decided they better get back to Imladris! Nice job. Author Reply: Thanks for much for reviewing, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't think I've ever seen a young Halbarad story either, but I enjoy writing youngsters, though I've never written a young Aragorn story! :) This idea just hit me one day and I had to write it. Sorry it took me so long to respond, I've hurt my knee and can't be on the computer too long. :( | |

| I'm so glad you're working on a continuation of safekeeping. I can't wait to read it. And thanks for letting me know. | |

| I enjoyed this story very much, Radbooks. Of course Halbarad would fear Elladan and Elrohir, after they took Aragorn. But stouthearted that he is, once he believes the twins and is reassured, he already sets himself as Aragorn protector. Lovely Author Reply: Thanks, Estelcontar! I'm glad you enjoyed this, it was fun to write. Being Aragorn's protector just seemed a natural position for Halbarad to take. I also wanted to let you know that in spite of my note on the last chapter of 'Safekeeping', I am working on a new story in that series. An idea hit me and I have to write it. :) It'll be set about five years after the last story and will be an action/adventure story. I'm just now starting it so it'll be awhile, but just thought I'd let you know! :) Thanks again! | |

| This is a lovely fic, Radbooks! I enjoyed seeing Halbarad as a very young child and especially liked that you drew him as Aragorn's "protector" even at the tender age of seven. Despite the shortness of the story, you've packed in plenty of emotional punch, especially with Elladan and his guilt over Arathorn's death. Very enjoyable read! Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words, Cairistiona! I enjoy writing children and somehow it just seemed natural to have Halbarad as Aragorn's protector even at that age. | |

| Poor Halbarad - two mysterious strangers turn up, whisk Aragorn off, and he's never seen again. No wonder he's scared when they return! Lovely characterisations of the twins, too. Elladan's guilt seems typical of the way I view him. Jay Author Reply: Thanks, Jay! I'm glad you enjoyed the story and pleased you like my version of the twins. | |

| Ah, this was a cute one. Poor little Halbarad. He truly thought the elves were going to take him away. I'm glad his father and the twins were able to reassure him. It was good that he was able to trust them at the end and that he knew his cousin was safe and protected by the elves surrounding him. :) Good story. Author Reply: Thanks, Misty! I think children would act that way, if you didn't know exactly why your cousin had disappeared in the first place, it would be natural to think you're going to taken away as well. | |

| Oh, what a lovely vignette! I really like the twins in this and little Halbarad is so sweet. Great job! Author Reply: Thanks, Niri! It was fun writing from the twins POV in this story, it was the first time I'd done that. | |
