I think I am going to go reread the next chapter at ff.net lol!! I loved the chapter when Elladan and Elrohir are reunited, even though Elrohir does not remember him at all and at first is SO untrusting of his twin. So much angst. Continue soon!

Well, I'm posting chapter 4 today, so you can always read it here if you like. I'm doing one about every other day until I'm caught up (and the ones here are actually better, since I've had time to edit them a bit). It's interesting to reread all these old chapters as I'm reposting them here. It really brings home just how much Elrohir has changed since he was first found. Thanks again for reviewing! :)

I never tire of read this story. LOL. And yes I did notice about your rewrite in the last chapter. You know I was thinking a few weeks ago.... There is always so much I want to say about each chapter that I've loved and stuff but by the time I get to the review button there's always something I forget to say. Like I remember reading the part where Elrohir is wary of horses, doesn't like to be near them, and I think I almost cried lol, but I completely forgot to mention it in the review, and then in the next chapter I saw you mention to someone else that you were surprised she was the only one to say something. LOL.
Anyways, I love Aragorn's devotion to his brother, and I feel so badly for him later on in the fic! Both of them lol. Hopes for a new chapter soon. =D

Again, thanks so much for reviewing here even though these chapters are "old." I always am so pleased to see that I have a review...it makes my day! I also like Aragorn's devotion to Elrohir, even though he doesn't show it as much in the later chapters. The one I'm working on right now (chp 11) will show a lot more interaction between the two. I'm hoping to get it out soon!

I'm so glad to see this story here. I've been enjoying it at ff.net and I like seeing it again.

This is such a great site that I'm very happy for a chance to post here. I'm posting every couple of days as I edit the old chapters and then once I'm caught up, I'll post both here and on ff.net with the new ones. I see that you've updated your story again...ah more temptation to not work on my story and see what great new scenes you've written!

I *still* love this story! I'm so glad you're posting it here as well. I noticed you re-wrote the part about Aragorn and the rangers - it sounds better now.
I just wish you'd update the next chapter of the version on ff.net! Every time I see an update on SoA I get excited - but it's a repeat!
I'm also transferring stories here - check out 'Telparian' and 'With Friends Like These'!

Hi Jay! I'm glad you liked the rewrite. I'm doing some minor editing as I post these chapters to fix things I didn't like about the way I wrote them the first time. I AM working on chapter 11...I promise. It's being a bit frustrating at the moment, though. I just decided last night to scrap several pages because I didn't like how it was turning out and now I have to rewrite it all. Ugh. My goal is still to post before Christmas (but I have to see how the holidays cooperate). Hey...I'm still waiting anxiously for the next chapter of 'The Search!'

I absolutely LOVE this fic to death! I am so glad you put it up here, it is so wonderful. I can't wait to see the next chapter, lol.

Hi Iawen! Thanks so much for the review on this site, even though you must have first read this chapter ages ago. (Did you notice any changes? I rewrote part of it to clear up the issue that the rangers would have known who Aragorn was). Still feverishly working on the next chapter and plan to get it out before Christmas. It will be a 'happy' chapter, so it will be appropriate right before Christmas! Until then, my friend...

Hi FirstMate!
I've been following this story at ffn (okay, I admit it: lurking!), due to a recommendation from Jay of Lasgalen.
This is a *terrific* story! I got pulled in right from the first chapter -- and I don't usually enjoy anything with violence. Your characterizations just seem so real to me.
Frankly, if this is your first story, I can't wait to see what else comes from your pen in the future...
Glad to see you're putting it up at SOA, where it is much easier to review stories. And, please update soon!
Best regards,
Barbara

Since I was a terrible lurker, I really understand the tendency, so I am so glad when my story can pull a 'lurker' into reviewing! Anyway, thanks for your nice review...yes, this is my first story and so any encouragement is especially welcome!

Hi! Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like the beginning. Just setting the stage, really, for what's turning out to be a very long story.
