| Oh my. You've set up quite a situation here, fraught with potential foreshadowing. Did the grieving father mark Estel as Elrond's son? Will he take his revenge on the Half-elven or try to use Estel as leverage in an attempt to recover his missing son? (How tragic. I can easily see how such a series of losses could break a man's mind. I suppose it's too much to hope that his son might be found alive somehow at some later point in the story?) I love the relationship you sketch here, along with Elrond's care: protective, but not smothering. Pushing the nestling to try his wings (as in fluttering to a lower branch), to learn and exercise the skills he will badly need as an adult, while cautioning him to prudence (rather than launching himself into open space). Hopefully, in picturing Estel as a fledgling hawk, I haven't mixed my metaphors too badly. Cairistiona? That could be! I will seek out those stories. Do you know if they might be archived elsewhere in addition to SoA? It would be nice to be able to restore every missing story that we can. Author Reply: Poor Master Ferrier has been through a lot, and has a long road to travel before he finds peace unfortunately. But I have hope for him. And the rest of them have quite the adventure coming, as little as they may wish it. But I can only imagine that already at this age Estel would have been taught so much—they know who he is and what will be before him, even if he doesn’t—and I am sure he was a kind child. Between the two he will be all right… One of her missing stories is on AO3, and I let her know. (It’s one of my very favorite of hers, I hope it makes it back into this site!) She said she would let the moderators know. Do you know anything about Canafinwe? The Appendices for A Long and Weary Way are not on this site - I believe they should have been, though I can’t know for sure. She stopped posting several years ago, though, and I don’t know anything about her situation… | |

| Just started reading and... oh dear, this story is wonderful. I really missed these type of stories here (young Aragorn). Reminds me of old times they were more popular. Author Reply: <3 I so enjoyed writing this story - I hope you continue to enjoy! | |
