Awwww! Now I want a scene where Eldarion talks to his sister’s newly betrothed. “Well, I am glad to finally have a brother!” etc. for ex. and what happens to Eldarion, as regarding his future wife? And about how old is Elfwine? Pretty good story, my favorite parts were Merra’s interactions with D, and many of the parent/offspring relations, and with Elladan and Elrohir, as well.

Ok...I'm ready for the next chapters! *hint*hint* I realize, with great sadness, that this will probably not happen, since it's been 5 years since the last chapter was posted. I've thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to *almost* end...some of the greatest challenges in Aragorn's life were as a husband and father, and it was fascinating to see your ideas of what this entailed. If you ever decide to complete this wonderful story, I'll be here to eagerly read and review!

I love this...I just adore the continuing story of love and adoration between Aragorn and Arwen. :) The books gave us little...the movies a bit more, but I have always craved more of what happened AFTERwards and this story fills that spot completely. The unending love between the two is just beautiful and I love that they, themselves, never tire of each other or the wonder of finally being together after being separated for so long. *sigh!* Ain't love grand?! :D
LisaG · 14 August 2010 · Chapter 7: Gifts and Partings
Taking a little break after this chapter before I read on. Really enjoying these "slices of life" with our royal family. I adore the image of Aragorn as the doting, strict, yet not really so strict father, adoring husband and confident king. :)

Oh My Gosh! I so truly love this fic! I was looking for some good Aragorn and Arwen stories and found you here. I have read this on another site and fell in love with it. This has got to be one of my FAVORITE A/A stories! I've read it so many times and I am so pleased I ran into it again. I just want to let you know that I am still waiting for an update! Your other fic WINTER TO SPRING is my ALL TIME FAVE! It brought me into the world of ARagorn and Arwen (in your own words an "Aragorn and ARwen Junkie!" I've become) These 2 fics were the very first ones I have read (way back in March 2005 when I discovered fan fiction and authors like you!) I just want to say Thank you for such wonderful imagination like yours. I cannot give you enough praise. Hope your real life is great and well organized so than you can update this story! Just to let you know that there are a lot of people out there that have not given up on this wonderful story.

I discovered your story last night when you posted your latest chapter and have been eagerly reading it all day... which has been delaying all of the work I need to be doing! :) But, it is worth it. It is a very enjoyable story as Aragorn is my favorite LOTR character and it is interesting to read about this period of his life with his family. Thanks for sharing this story with me... well, and everyone else I suppose! :) Radbooks

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts! Aragorn & Arwen are definitely my favourite pairing and I wanted to continue with them after I finished the books, so this story popped up. :) The 4th Age is definitely an interesting time to work in. I hope you enjoy the rest of the fic! :)

Aragorn is such a good father despite his doubts. I really like how careful he is with his daughter -- careful about her future and careful in his treatment of her. The conversation about the dead wife was also touching. Anyone would wonder about how the two relationships compared.
Author's reply
Thank you for your comments! The father-daughter relationship is definitely one of the harder ones for me to try to get across on the page. *g* And I think Doran has been thinking a lot about his first marriage lately, so I wanted them to have that scene together. :))

I thought this was very realistic. They are awkward because they are indeed out of practice and they're venturing into new, crucial territory. I was so relieved when they finally came to an understanding. You had me worried.
Author's reply
Thankies! Aw, no, I'd never have split them up now, but I'm glad the tension came across. :) Now, it should be pure fluff for M/D from here on in! *g*
Aleeza · 21 January 2005 · Chapter 28: You Have Only To Ask
*waves hand* I always read this whenever I can, and I really glad you've continued this fic! It's wonderful, and very canon! ^_~
Author's reply
*waves back* Thanks for your review! :)) I'm so sorry there's been such a delay in getting some of these chapters up - I've never forgotten about this fic, but sometimes RL can be evil to the plot bunnies. *g* Now that these chapters are up, I'm happy to be getting into some fluffy stuff. :))

There's just something about Mirra/Doran that reminds me so much of Celeborn/Galadriel - if they had been younger, of course, and if one followed the Celeborn-the-Amanyar storyline. The same conversation without words, the gestures, the mood. Very nice. And your A/A is one of my favourites. :D
Author's reply
I am so flattered by your compliments! That is unexpected praise indeed with the comparision. :) I'm so glad you're enjoying M/D, it's been a lot of fun to write them, and so nice that they can finally get together. Thankies! More on them in the next chapter to write I think. :D

As always, you catch these lovely family moments, pointing forward and back, and showing how all these people love and support one another. A delight to read.
Author's reply
Thank you so much! That's what I've imagined the story as, a series of moments, and I'm glad it's coming across well. :)

oooh...I've spent the week reading this entire series...and now i get to the end, and I want MORE :) Please tell me that there is more to come...I can't wait! Nita
Author's reply
There will definitely be more to come! :) I just have to get going and write it. ;D Thanks for the review!

Oh yay! I remember reading this story at ff.net. I haven't seen it in ages. Have you been updating and I've just been missing it? I can't even remember where I was. I'll just start here and go back if I need to. I was struck by the line about how Arwen missed being in contact with the earth when she was on a ship. That seems right to me when you're talking about Elves with their connection to Arda. Now this is the story I remember. The one in which details of daily life add up to a wonderful rich picture. So Aragorn find the weather cool and stays up sitting on the terrace. Luthea reads far into the night (to learn about what's "there") and she and her father find a moment together. I suppose these children of Gondor have rarely seen snow. Or does it snow in Gondor? I'm not sure. Ah, I can see Arwen winkling information out of Mirlinde. So, my dear, do you have any *special* friends here???
Author's reply
I posted this fic up here a few months ago, but it's been too long since my last update! All the chapters are here though. :) The kids have seen snow before (in chapter 7 Mirra and Luthea went out shopping, I think) but of course it's different in Rivendell. *g* Thank you for your review! :)
Sphinx · 24 February 2004 · Chapter 24: Two Departures
*echoes* Great to see this here. It is certainly one of the most interesting post ring war stories I have seen. Not to mention the yumminess of your Aragorn.:) Sphinx

I read this on ff.net and am glad to see it here. I love its wonderfully realistic portrayal of the little things that add up to what matters in life.
