Dear G.A.: This was great! Your style of writing just flows, and your characterization of both Aragorn and Denethor is very good indeed. Your portrayal of Denethor's rising obsession with "Thorongil" is well written and quite believable. You could stop the story here, but I hope you will add at least one more chapter. Thanks for writing and posting this. Sincerely, Darkover

Really liked this story, about the friction between Denethor and Thorongil. Vevy well written. Denethor sure had to know who this stranger was. I liked that part when Aragorn tell him that once he knew, he would wish he didn't know. I am glad that Aragorn left when he did, he did have things to do in the north.

Thanks for being such a regular reviewer. We writers thrive on that kind of attention! My purpose with this story was to focus on the back and forth between the two men in what had to be a complicated relationship. I've been working on a sequel called "Themes and Variation" that will focus on Aragorn and Faramir. There will be more about Denethor and Thorongil in that story, if I ever get it finished. Thanks for reading!

You write so well about the complex relationship between Throngil, and the Stewards.I always imagine something like this happened.It is a pleasure to have discovered your stories !

Author Reply: I'm so glad you like my stories. I think there is much more to be said about Denethor, but my purpose here was to concentrate on his relationship with Thorongil. I will probably be writing more fics on this period in Aragorn's life.
