No Man's Child  by anoriath 107 Review(s)

Interesting story that I assume is AU. I wonder why, of all young unmarried Dunedain women, did Aragorn decide to ask Nienelen to be his wife?

Author Reply: *That* is a very good question.

Not that there were a whole lot of them "descended from the Kings of old," but there were enough. You're right. He had a choice. We might learn more about that. :)

Now, this is a surprise indeed for her. The daughter of no living Man is she, after all. But a hard thing for Aragorn to do when his heart is held by another.

I figured if it's good enough for Tolkien (re: Eowyn and the Witch-King), then well, why not? *g*

But a hard thing for Aragorn to do when his heart is held by another.
So, so true.

Thanks for reading and commenting Larner!

To have to think of the value of her father's possessions in terms of passage across Eriador must be very painful. But at least she knows Pelara's compassion.

Author Reply: Yeah, not like she could take much with her, but I'm glad it evokes what she'd have to give up to leave.

Again I feel her grief and uncertainty, as well as the uncertainty Halbarad also knows. May both find comfort.

Author Reply: as well as the uncertainty Halbarad also knows

Oh! Good! I wasn't sure if that would come across or not.

You have woven the grief palpably and well. I feel with this maiden and her fostermother both.

Author Reply: Thanks Larner! I'm glad it was evocative for you.

Author Reply: Oh, and to clear up any confusion: "Daughter" isn't a specific address to your children, but something that is used to address a younger person not related to you by their elders in this universe.

Your story is very good. The AU is very believable, more than what happened in the LotR ;) , and the OCs are realistic, each has his/her own personality. The language you use is also great. I have just one complaint: There are not enough chapters! So please, update soon :)

Thanks Laurelin! I'm glad you're enjoying it and find it plausible.

*SNORK*

Yeah, yeah... we'll see if you still think that when we're all done. ;o)

I am so impressed with your story and all the research you have done on its backround ,I wonder where this is leading in the scheme of things ,I mean with Arwen and Aragorn with him having a wife already so I will be waiting for more.

I'm happy it's captured your interest. And LOL! I got a kick out of your screenname. Very cute.
