you say your writing has improved after writing this story, but this is so well written! I love merry and aragorn's characterisations. i love the way merry observes those traits in aragorn, and the way aragorn speaks with such quiet love and authority and lordship and honour and love. omg i just love this so much!!

Excellent story. I'm a big fan of Aragorn/hobbit interactions

Again slightly more movie-verse than book-verse; but pleasant. And to accept Strider as the King-to-be would be an interesting thing to look forward to. Nice moment between the two of them.

I don't think I've read too many scenes involving just Merry and Aragorn. I suppose Merry might very well be having some second thoughts about his initial reaction. His thoughts seem very much in character; I really enjoyed his point of view. This is really well done.

Very nice use of the fair/foul comments to good purpose. I like your Merry, he comes across a bit more like book!Merry, who was a very fine hobbit.

Oh, I really love book-Merry, and book-Pippin at that. The movie versions I liked, but not nearly as much as the book versions. Thank you for the review :)

I like this a lot. I prefer Aragorn's reaction to that comment in the book but this is a lovely resolution to the movie version.

Oh, I absolutely *love* Aragorn's response in the book; book-Aragorn is my favorite. But this was just a nice, fun thing to write :) Thanks for the review!

Oh Laire...You shouldn't say this isn't as well written as your other stories. Yes, we all progress as we do any skill, but your talent shines through in this. It's a lovely little gapfiller and answer to one of Shirebound's tempting bunnies. You w/out a doubt got Merry's voice right and, of course, your Aragorn is spot on too. Thanks for sharing this w/us!!
