*Grin* That was heart-warming. I loved the flash-forward and how Aragorn came back to remember his old friend. I also loved the line "Now he realised, saving lives was more satisfying than taking them." Perfect. I really enjoyed this story because it develops the healer persona of the king, which, arguably, may be more important than the warrior. I like to think the duality is what makes King Elessar unique. I'll continue exploring your stories!

This is great! Thank you for recommending it to me. And you were spot-on with my favorite part of "Full of Surprises," though of course I totally forgot to say anything about it in my review. I could just imagine young Ragnor's dreams of one day saving his Captain's life in some fierce battle. I love how the tables have been turned on the young man, and he is saving Aragorn's life in what may be perhaps a more dramatic turn of events. I'm eager to read the conclusion once the Captain wakes up!

Ah--wonderful that they share this memory, and that Ragnor finally realized who his Captain and patient was meant to be. And that Elessar remembered him and sought him out--exactly what I'd expect from the King Returned!

I suspect that such an experience was almost inevitable as Thorongil led his men through battles in the defense of Gondor. Ragnor doesn't yet appreciate the significance of the ring worn on a chain about his Captain's neck--perhaps he eventually shall?

Loved this when I read it at Teitho. But I like this new and improved one much better. And of course, the ending is perfect!

It's great to see Aragorn as king, when all his wishes have come true. Trust him to remember Ragnor, and be grateful to him. That's one of the reasons he is such a great king.

Estelcontar · 10 June 2011 · Chapter 1: Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn?

Linda, this is a most lovely and bittersweet tale, which illustrates very subtly Aragorn's plight when fought as Thorongil for Gondor. You've done a great job of depicting his loneliness and his longing.

Sniff, sniff...that was soooo good! Hugs The Imp

our dear ranger can count himself lucky for having such faithful man/friends, but it´s not really surprising for the amazing character he is. Thank you for such a wonderful story. Your Aragorn is always so believable and lovable. Just the way I imagine him. Thank you. Lai

This is absolutely beautiful, Linda. It captured me from the very first sentence and I read this "in one breath", as we say in Croatian. I especially love the very end - their meeting. So wonderful.

Oh yes, everyone loves Thorongil! Lets hope Ragnor takes good care of that ring...It is over 6,000 years old after all. I'm very interested as to where you take this...You seem to be setting it up to have Ragnor finding out just who his captain is, but you could take it in a completely different direction too! Hope to see an update soon.
