I enjoyed the story and would like to know if you plan to ever update this one and Marinus Stiria (?sp).

Call me illiterate, but I had to look up 'cantrip' before I began reading this.
Heh, anyway, I love the feel you give here at the beginning. Aragorn and the twin's characterizations are some of the best of seen.

It's been so long on this, I've decided to re-read from the beginning.

Loved the arrival in the camp:

“Pleasant fellow,” Elladan murmured as the trio exited the tent some time later. “I do not like him.”

“Mayhap he is one who grows on you over time,” offered Elrohir, ever the optimist.

Aragorn grimaced. “I do not think I want him growing anywhere near me.”


*Snort.* The Rangers as fungal growth?

As a person who likes "odd" humor (This is a tribute, Fair One! Look at what I've done to my poor elves. Don't come no odder than that, Bryn!), may I suggest Lindorien's "Summary Version of the LOTR"? Give it a try. I made myself sick laughing. If we both review, mayhap she will continue on to the "Council of Elrond". I have been patiently waiting.

*bows low after shamelessly promoting a story not even her own. Is this elf nuts? Please don't answer that, dear Mentor!*

Oh, poor Estel! It must be doubly awful to part from his brothers if he's with a "Man" like this!

Author Reply: calenore- The poor guy has been thrown into quite an awkward situation, hasn't he? And even worse, he knows he can't go back...

Being the squealing Aragorn fangirl that I am, I'm always looking forward to reading more of those 'missing scene' fics about him! And given the author, I hope for some very entertaining reading:-)

BTW your description of the rangers' tents alone woke some long buried memories of the smell of damp canvas, wet clothes, mud and the like (aka fliewatuet's very first near-camping experience, fortunately not too far away from home, so that I could opt out and spend the night in my own bed ... have not been so fortunate on every camping trip, however, ...)

Ooooh, I am looking forward to this! It's always a pleasure to read a serious Aragorn fic...

*Claps* Hooray, a new story!

I like Elladan and Elrohir finishing each others sentances. Very humerous.

This looks to be a very promising fic. I like the idea of Aragorn going back to the Dunadain to "Become a man," (OR, whatever the guy said.)

It will be interesting to see what transpires. (And to meet Halbaraad!! Mayhap we will find what is with his obsession with wearing a dress..?)

Cheers!

Great beginning. I for one am glad this plot bunny bit you because this is a time I've wondered about. You've done a great job with little details here. They make everything seem real. Go bryn!

Ah! I'm going to have to try to keep up with this one!

I'd never thought about Aragorn's assimilation into Rangerhood....this should be amusing to watch. *g*

Very nice. ;)

I'd love to see what more you do with this.

Could not stop chuckling when they entered the tent. Next time, make Aragorn say 'How do you do?' courteously, instead of just 'please'.

Do update soon!
