This is fun to read. Difficult decisions for Aragon to make in terms of who to give attention to and what to do. I can sense how pulled he feels between the not-great options. Nice of Gimli to volunteer to stay behind. I am enjoying reading this.

I love how you portray Merry's talent for observation and consideration. (But then, Merry has always been my favorite hobbit since the first time I read LOTR...)

Author Reply: Merry is also my favorite hobbit! I confess, I've reimagined him as the plotting, calculating, and slightly more hotheaded hobbit of the group. The Merry in this story is angry. As I'm typing this, I'm realizing that maybe some of that anger is the ring and perhaps I should have thought of that earlier, haha. At the time chapters 1-11 were written, Merry's anger is mostly because he's tired of being underestimated. Lots more of Merry coming up, and I hope that you continue to enjoy my portrayal.

Awww Aragorn/Legolas friendship... I love that! You show Aragorn's care and fear for the elf so well.

Author Reply: They are probably one of my favorite friendships, though Gimli and Legolas are a really close second!
