• The Path Before Me by Cheryl

  This is movie based and the character of Aragorn in the movies is in some ways very different to his character in the book. To me, movie Aragorn had little faith in his own people, which was understandable considering movie Elrond’s almost pessimistic attitude towards the Race of Men. This story is based on what I think is a pivotal relationship in restoring Aragorn’s faith in his people and resolving the movie character with the book character. On the long run from Amon Hen to Fangorn, Aragorn ponders the death of Boromir and his own destiny.

• Not Without Hope by Gwynnyd

  Hiding a vulnerable princeling from enemy eyes and concealing his identity until he's grown are certainly the stuff of legends. But even if the legend is true, it probably does not tell the whole story. Would Gilraen have preferred to raise Aragorn as his father's son and not hidden his identity? Would Elrond expect Aragorn's mother to come with him to Rivendell, or would he believe it easier to hide the boy from Sauron's eye if she lived elsewhere? That they ended up together in Rivendell, and that Aragorn's identity was successfully concealed, is fact. But how? 2005 MEFA Awards 1st Place (Gap-Filler - Drama)
