I really, really enjoyed this, and how in the midst of so much anguish over Aragorn's illness there was such sudden humour. I loved Aragorn trying to kiss Elladan in his fever, and the subsequent laughter and teasing between the brothers.

Well done for a skillful blending of angst and comedy!


Author Reply: Thank you, Jay of Lasgalen! I'm glad you enjoyed the mix of emotions--at least in my own life, humor always seems finds a way to lighten even the darkest times, so I try to put that into my stories. I really enjoy exploring the interactions between the Twins and Estel, so I'm also glad you liked that aspect.

Thanks again for the review and glad you enjoyed the story. :)

WOW - really good story told in the tiny bits.

Author Reply: Thank you, utfrog! (I love that name) It was definitely an unusual way of writing and not my norm. The story that follows will be told in a more conventional way. I'm glad you liked this one!

A delightful story which reads even better as a single post. I love the way you seamlessly weave humour and angst in this, but at its core, it's Halbarad's devotion to his chieftain that makes the tale ring so true.
A great introduction to 'At Hope's Edge.'

Author Reply: Thanks, Inzilbeth! I'm glad it reads okay as a whole instead of just the separate drabbles like I had it on LJ. I did end up tweaking it here and there but nothing major. And yes, it kind of has that cliffhanger-ish ending, doesn't it? Thanks again!

Oh, this is marvelous. Such love and fear and attentive care for one who holds the hope of all, and the love of many.

Author Reply: Thank you, Shirebound! I'm glad you liked it! (And boy, you're fast on the reviews! I only just uploaded this story. I'm impressed! *grin*)
