What a beautifully moving story. I enjoyed the way you managed to make the entire story about Aragorn even if he was not present in it for a single moment. You have a point in there, you know. Most of us have a tendency to forget that the years of betrothal must have been as hard on Arwen, or even harder than they were on Aragorn. After all, he was up and doing, and she had to watch, look after him from afar and wait, and waiting may be very, very difficult.

I loved the paragraph in which Arwen mentions that they can hope to enjoy a life together. I've always imagined her as someone who had never relinquished hope, and that's what you've given us there.

The visions are wonderful. The one at Mount Doom is very dramatic. I could see Aragorn's determination and sadness.

Aragorn and Arwen's meeting and Eldarion's birth are a joy to read. I love the way Arwen senses Aragorn's pain and loneliness, but also the purity of his spirit. And Eldarion's birth is so touching. It must have been a seminal moment in Aragorn's and Arwen's life, and you can feel that in your story..

A very poignant and lovely tale indeed.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. I too sometimes think Arwen had the worst of it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the visions. This story came about when I was rereading LOTR one time and wondered who else might have looked in Galadriel's mirror. Such a useful device must have been used often by those in need of its powers.A lovelorn Awren was an obvious choice!

What a beautifully-written chapter. This is truly one of the great loves of all time, all the sweeter because of how long they had to wait to be together.

Author Reply: Thank you so much, shirebound. The story of their love, never fails to move me either.
