Ah--the crossing at Tharbad! Yes, a bad time of it he knew at the time. Well written!

Hahahahahahaha! Yes, I can appreciate that Aragorn would truly rather be about anywhere other than the lockup at this time! Heh! Delightful! And of course Ferny would be part of it!

Oh dear, Halbarad's gotten them both in jail! Love your take on him, and love the line, "Yet his glare had not suffered." I imagine even one-eyed (or one-and-a-half eyed?), Aragorn could level a man with a look!

I love how you don't place this during a definitive time in Boromir's life. It can be on his way to Rivendell, which adds a poignancy to his thoughts just before collapsing, or it could be during some other journey he takes along a cold and nearly frozen river, which lends an entirely different urgency to his predicament. Very nicely done.

A perfect talisman, and you are so welcome back! And seeing Bodkin's name among the comments was a delight as well.

Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words. I hadn't noticed that it has been 4 years since my last update. Hopefully, there will be more to come :-)

Oh, this is excellent, as is the entire series! You hear about bullets hitting belt buckles or badges or even books, and why not an arrow striking Aragorn's Star of the Dunedain pin! That had to have hurt, but good for Halbarad's rough comfort. Instead of spamming you with reviews, I'll say here that I've read through all these drabbles and enjoyed each immensely, my favorites being "Defence" and just about every one that features Halbarad, for whom I have a very large soft spot. You've written Aragorn in his many guises very well in character, and you've managed so well at packing a lot into each set of 100 words.

I'm very glad you've come out of "hiatus". May inspiration continue to strike!

Author Reply: Thanks for the review! I know that having just a small item fend of bullets and what not is quite a (movie) cliché, but I couldn't resist. I am glad it worked for you. And it's hard to not have a large soft spot for Halbarad :-)

Hopefully, my muses will stay this time ...

Hehe! I hope that having been trained in healing by Elrond himself he has one or two remedies he knows well enough to whip up for himself!

Excellent!

Author Reply: I bet Aragorn knows how to cure the worst symptoms of a hangover. But his biggest problem at the moment is that he has to drag himself out of bed in order to mix up the proper medicine.

Has it truly been that long? My heavens!

Yes, the time approaches to go home. He's the Chieftain of the Northern Dunedain, and he needs to take some thought to that; and he has journeys to make through Rhun and Harad as well before he settles back into life of patrolling the northern lands, seeing to the integrity of the Shire and the Breelands, and seeking out Gollum.

Author Reply: Has it truly been that long?

Unfortunately, it has been almost exactly one year since I posted my last drabble *sigh*

And yes, Aragorn has a tight schedule at that time. Not only has he business in the North to see to, and some travelling to do, he also has to rout the corsairs in Umbar :-)

Awww. Poor hung-over Thorongil.

Author Reply: He'll brew himself some vile-smelling tea, then he's back to his normal, controlled self in no time.

I just love the image of Thorongil bored senseless with Denethor's "imperious" yammering.

Author Reply: I see Aragorn/Thorongil as a very patient man. But even he has his limits :-)
