This was a wonderful one chapter story. You do as great a job of portraying Aragorn as you do of portraying your other characters that you obviously love best(Eomer and Eowyn) and I would love to see more stories featuring him. Okay, so he's my favorite but that's beside the point! :) I loved all of Aragorn's thoughts and feelings as he walked through the city and as he worked on Faramir, etc. It was nicely done.

I'm glad you thought Aragorn turned out well... I'm not used to writing him, or at least not his point of view. If he hadn't been unconscious at the time, I probably would have ended up writing if from Faramir's perspective, because I'm much more comfortable writing him. :D I'm trying to start branching out from my three main characters though, so that was very encouraging, thank you. :)

That's a marvelous blend of book and movie. I especially like Aragorn unconsciously touching his gauntlets as he thinks of Boromir.

I was trying to keep this as close to the style of what the director probably would have done with this as I could (without making the Prof roll over in his grave), and that seemed like the kind of touch he'd throw in there. Thanks for reading it! :)
