| I always thought Faramir got them for Aragorn somewhere. Maybe they are Faramir’s. Or Boromir’s, that would be better than Denethor’s. Or maybe he is in the armor the soldiers wear to guard the tree. | |

| It is indeed a different form of immortality she will know now! Lovely! | |

| Yes, golden and raven hair blowing together in the wind has become a precedent now. Heh! | |

| Now I can see it! Yes, the change to peacetime isn't without its natural drawbacks, of course! | |

| This is a beautiful exploration of as you said the 'first day of the rest of her life'. Nicely done! Author Reply: Thank you. Although we use it a lot around here, I think that the saying is especially apt in this context. | |

| Hee hee! This is fun... I love the bantering and the fade-to-black before it gets too detailed. I can so easily imagine the playful look on the King's face as he declares that today he will "call in sick". A delightful vignette of a happily married King and Queen. Author Reply: Haha! It was really fun to write that one; I'm glad you feel the same as a reader. Thanks for the review. | |

| This is lovely... I like the intertwining of days, Halbarad's birth- and death-day being the same, and then the way you've tied it in with Aragorn's birth- and death-day. I had never really given thought to when Halbarad's birthday might be, but this idea is poignant. I also love how you've written Aragorn's musings. They're wistful, and sad, but not maudlin. I'll be enjoying the picture of Aragorn arriving beyond the Dark Sea, and Halbarad waiting, perhaps a gift in hand. Author Reply: Thank you. The fact that Aragorn died on is birthday has always fascinated me. It somehow completes the cycle of life. I love the idea of Halbarad waiting with a gift. ;) | |

| Oh, This is nice, Vilwarin. It's always a poignant moment and you have captured it well. I particularity like the realisation that she is now a mortal. LBJ Author Reply: Thank you. Yes, it is a very powerful moment. I think that it is difficult to really understand how she feels, leaving behind everything she has ever known - and ever been. It must have been very hard but I like to believe that she was richly rewarded for it. | |

| Very amusing! Yes, the stable is a bit more discrete a place for lovers' kisses than would be the gardens of the Houses of Healing. I would think though, that Imrahil might have ways of knowing what his daughter is up to with the King of Rohan... Author Reply: A yes, that niggling worry. But unsuspecting eyes may miss much - especially when they are occupied otherwise (with whatever he's doing). I have often wondered why Imrahil stayed at Edoras; maybe it really was to watch over his daughter? Thanks for the review. | |

| I know the painting which inspired this. Beautifully done! Author Reply: Oh, thanks. I think the painting is just perfect for the two of them. | |
