Changing the Past  by Misty 49 Review(s)
Calenlass GreenleafReviewed Chapter: 10 on 3/18/2007
Wow. History has been vastly changed. Arathorn and Gilraen have a daughter? *eyes widen*
Such a wonderful AU--I can't get enough of such fics, Misty!

~Cal

Author Reply: Yes, history is changing drastically. Aragorn is getting quite concerned about those changes, but fell for Lothrin the moment he saw her. :) I'm glad you're enjoying this so much. Thanks.

You really are keeping my avid interest with this story Misty. Loved the examination of relationships here. You show the mourning of the past and the beginning to celebrate the present beautifully. And I live the kitten story!

Author Reply: Thanks. This chapter allowed me to get the twins to a point where they are ready to go on with their new lives, and to have those in their lives learn whatever they needed to know about them. The twins really needed to get more comfortable with Glorfindel and try to keep their father from prying too deeply into their visions. And I had to put in the kitten story, that poor little thing managed to get the best of both twins and Glorfindel! It was too cute not to write. :)

Thanks again.

Great chapter, Misty. Especially the part about Haldir getting his face painted. LOL.



Author Reply: Thanks. I had fun writing that part. lol Poor Haldir. Next time he'll be more careful in what he asks for. :)

So, I just read your fic, and I must say I'm terribly depressed, angsty, and have a strong urge to beat you with a large stick. *sigh* What a mess they're all in now. And no real way to go forwards or backwards.

I've never seen a time travel/second chance plot handled this way before. And I've read a ton of fic. The story always leaves the traveller behind and goes on to look at other things, as if they were doing just great in the past and didn't matter anymore. Or the traveller poofs out of existance or back to their own time as soon as the situation is changed in the past.

What on earth is Aragorn going to do when he meets Arwen? And we can't have 3 different timelines coexisting, can we? I would hope these would merge in some pleasant way before anything too horrific happens. Or maybe they won't and at least the 3 stranded brothers all know where the ring is and could destroy it before Sauron figures out what's up. Unless he's behind all this.

And that brings us back to the very large stick. I do hope this will be updated soon.

I'm absolutely fascinated by what you've created here, and can't begin to imagine how you're going to resolve it, but I'm looking forward to the ride. Especially liked the portrayal of Aragorn and Gandalf in this chapter, very much in character. Sorry I haven't reviewed before.

Author Reply: Thank you. I do have the resolution in mind, but it won't happen for quite some time. I have a lot of things I want to do before that happens. I'm glad you like the way I'm writing my characters. I do try to keep them 'true to life', so to speak. :) And I'll take any reviews I can get. I just love knowing more people are appreciating my stories.

it's good to see another chapter of this great story. I can't even begin to understand the odd position Aragorn is in, but, I am glad that he is no longer alone. As for the twins - can't wait for that chapter, now that daernaneth knows all about it.... *shiver*

Author Reply: I definitely feel worse for Aragorn than for the twins in this story. He's alone in ways that they can't even imagine, though at least now he has Gandalf. At least the twins are themselves with their families. I am about to start the next twins chapter, and I think you'll enjoy it. At least I hope you will. ;-)

A nice, long chapter. Like it a lot!
Update soon...please? LOL.

Author Reply: LOL I'll update as soon as I can, but since I need to start the next chapter, it will be a little while. I have things in mind for the twins, but just got this chapter finished up, so you'll have to give me a little bit of time to write the next. I'm glad you're enjoying it, though. :)

I am in constant admiration of the way that your mind works Misty. This is winding itself in ever more complicated coils. I look forward to seeing how it works itself out. And see if my own guesses are accurate. *g* It will be interesting when Galadriel and Gandalf get together, both sworn to silence!

Author Reply: LOL And it will get even more complicated before the end! Trust me on this. *eg* But I do hope you'll enjoy coming along for the ride when all is said and done. Just a quick reminder. The twins and Aragorn are in different timelines. The Galadriel that knows the future thing is with the twins, and Gandalf is with Aragorn, so they won't meet. I couldn't make this story work if I put them all in the same timeline, which will become clear much later.

Hmm... do you know the saying 'oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practise to deceive'? It goes very well with this.

Author Reply: Yes, but how much can they tell others without messing up the timeline? They're trapped in a very sticky situation not of their doing and struggling to do what's right. But yes, they are having a very tough time deceiving everyone. They don't want to do it, but don't see another choice.

another great chapter, full of tense ,near-unbearable suspense. I really feel for the twins.....

Author Reply: Thanks. The twins are really having a rough time hiding so much from the ones they love and trust. How much will they be able to successfully hide? Only time will tell.
