| Hoo! It's HOT in here! :D A caring, loving Aragorn will forever be sexy and I'm glad to see his appetite for life and love are still going strong! | |

| Poignant, amusing, and sexy all together. The interaction between Aragorn and Arwen is wonderful. | |

| Loved this story, it made my day. Arwin is quite suited to Aragorn, even after all the years of marriage. I love Aragorn going down the list of people he could talk too about his problem. | |

| Poor Aragorn - he must have spent a lot of nights wondering if Arwen would still need him, or still feed him, when he's 164 ... when he gets old and (at least not) losing his hair. I'm glad to see that she is able to reassure him that she can see below and beyond the rather older body to the romantic lover - and that she is still happy to play with him! Most enjoyable interlude! | |

| I love Aragorn's look back on the apprehensions of his wedding night, his rueful observation that he was old by the reckoning of Men even then, and Arwen's mischievous reassurance that he still has most of his teeth ("and none of them has rotted"). I love the idea that 85 years of marriage haven't dampened their love, their passion, or their humor. | |

| Gwynnyd, this is wonderful – sexy, funny, and more than a little poignant. Your A&A always come across as such complete characters, and Aragorn’s insecurity about Arwen’s willingness/his own desirability is very believable and, well, human. I loved Arwen’s assessment of his physical state, but my favourite line was Aragorn’s oh so dry acknowledgment that he has ‘escaped baldness’ – he’s in the midst of a conversation he finds desperately uncomfortable, but he still has that sense of humour he shows in all your stories. (And, ageing or not, he should never underestimate the sexiness of a great sense of humour!) Thanks for sharing it with us. Author Reply: You're welcome! My characterization of Aragorn is heavily based on how he behaves with Frodo in Bree. This line, I think is very telling: 'But I must admit,' (Aragorn) added with a queer laugh, 'that I hoped you would take to me for my own sake. A hunted man sometimes wearies of distrust and longs for friendship.' And Butterbur's line: "He seldom talks: not but what he can tell a rare tale when he has the mind." That Aragorn is very human. And thank you very much for the kind words about my stories. Gwynnyd | |

| Very nice, erotic but not over-graphic vignette! And you've warmed my Faramirist heart by the implication that Aragorn valued Faramir as a good and close friend for all of the Steward's life and sorrowed at his passing. Absolutely wonderful last line! Good to see that Arwen has a sense of humor. Author Reply: I'm a mother of teenagers, I was uncomfortable enough making it this erotic. I'm glad it worked! And of course in Gwynnyd!verse Aragorn loved and valued Faramir all his life and Arwen has a sense of humor. Thank you! Gwynnyd | |

| If all husbands had that problem! Loved it the first time I read it, Loved it more the second time!!! I wish there were more stories like this! Author Reply: I don't know if you've ever read Umberto Eco, but in his latest novel, "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana", he says it perfectly: "In this world you could either read or write, and writers write out of a desire to have something good to read once in awhile." I like stories 'like this' too, which is why I started writing. If I can do it, you can! Thank you! Gwynnyd | |

| Of course, you know how much I love reading about those two in bed together! Author Reply: I never thought they weren't good together. I just think they waited. Fortunately, from our perspective, we can drop in at ANY point in their lives. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Gwynnyd | |

| Love it! Very spicy. This love-match was destined, and how marvelous to imagine that their desires lasted as long as their marriage. Author Reply: Ah... 122 years of hott sex... we should all be so lucky! LOL Thanks! Gwynnyd | |
