| *snorts coffee out through nose* That was hilarious! Author Reply: Thanx for reading and reviewing, Steel - I'm pleased you found it funny. Just don't tell poor Third of Nine... | |

| Cute. :) And yes, as someone else said -- it's a bit different for a captain in peace-time, isn't it? Luckily, though, Faramir seems to be a pretty easygoing sort. And luckily, Elboron's grandfather isn't around to disapprove. ;) Author Reply: I'm not sure that Ithilien was completely peaceful; but it was definitely less dangerous than in TTT. And the Rangers were on leave when they 'helped out' the villagers with the harvest. But I think Faramir would be fairly easygoing, unless he felt the Rangers were getting sloppy, inefficient or had in any way preyed on the villagers. Even in Denethor's time, before the Ring War, the Rangers would have had to relax occasionally. Thanx for reviewing! | |

| This is a really wonderful idea. It adds another level of meaning to Arwen's ultimate relationship with Aragorn -- after all these dedications and proposals, all these chances she didn't take, and even after seeing all these men live their mortal lives and pass away... she still couldn't leave Aragorn. There was really something different about him. He wasn't just one more heir in Isildur's line. He was the one. I also love that Elrond already knows. With great wisdom comes great sorrow, as they say. Author Reply: Oh yes; I truly believe that Arwen had seen at least a few of her father's Dunedain fosterlings in the throes of serious calf-love with her; but there was probably something quite distinctive about Aragorn son of Arathorn right from that first moment, even if she didn't fall totally in love with him until years later. I could just see her planning her future, determined to stay with her father, being so sure that she would never fall for a mortal boy... Elrond had foresight, and could have either foreseen that Arwen would love a mortal man, or seen it in his mother-in-law's Mirror. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Grayswandir! | |

| Hah! Nice. I'm not sure which bit made me laugh more -- the ending, or this: Third would have liked to suggest that his Dread Lord face that particular lone Ranger all by his Dread Self. I certainly don't envy the Nazgul, either way. ;) Author Reply: Hiya, Grayswandir! Thanks for reading and reviewing; I did have a good time with this ficlet. And I certainly don't envy the bony boys, i.e. the Nazgul; between one wrathful Heir of Isildur and the even more wrathful Dread Lord, they're in a pickle. (and wait until Angmar meets a certain wrathful shield-maiden!) | |

| What a sweet "first love" scene for Aragorn and Arwen. Elrond has strong perception indeed and maybe he knew even before Arwen. Very nice vignette. My favorite line: "He was not the first Heir of Isildur to declare his love for her, and Arwen doubted that he would be the last." Author Reply: It could be that Elrond knew hundreds of years before Aragorn's birth that one of Isildur's heirs and Arwen would fall in love, and had been dreading it, even while devotedly fostering the young Dunedain. If he'd seen it in Galadriel's mirror, he'd not have known when or how, probably; that mirror is rather iffy. Thanx for reading and reviewing, whitewave! | |

| This chapter is extremely enjoyable! I lurved the reactions of the Nine to their Dread Lord but the punishment for Third was the best of all! Author Reply: Thanx much for reviewing, Whitewave! I had a sinfully good time put the Mighty Nine through Sauron's inquisition and punishments. I almost feel sorry for them - but not really! | |

| And I still love this one! And I also suspect several of Aragorn's ancestors found themselves attracted to Elrond's daughter before there came the one who stirred her heart in return. Author Reply: Oh yes; it would be old hat for her; she'd find it sweet and cute. But Aragorn, I suspect, stirred her a bit more on that first meeting than she admitted, though I don't think she fell in love with him until their time in Lorien decades later. Thanx for reviewing, Larner! | |

| Cute! Yes, a good way to find oneself in the red, I suppose. Author Reply: Well, boys will be boys, even young men who are officers; I doubt there was any harm done; and a good time, complete with sampling the vintages, was had by all. And now they get to take tea with the Lady of the Shield-Arm. | |
