Henneth Annûn Story Archive

Hi, demeter d

Thanks for your kind review of my drabbles and vignettes. As I write them I add them in their place according to where they would fall in Aragorn's lifetime. Eventually, I hope to have a collection that reflects most of his life--or at least his many names!

Hi, G.A. -
I am not much of a drabble fan.  That said, I really like this series of short pieces.  The short and medium length connected vignettes read as if they are seamlessly part of a larger whole (to me).
I assume they are all in the "Sword of Elendil" -verse.
Good reading here!

Hi Gandalfs apprentice!

Whoah! A rude awakening for Denethor...truly a disturbing epiphany for him!  Thorongil's silence and movements said a mouthful.  I really enjoyed this.

"It is a Noldorin obsession"...Love that line! I love the fact that Celeborn was "sort of" involved with Galadriel's "doings".

This just tickled me!

Humor her indeed!  Heh!  But Celeborn is right, of course!

Love it, GW.

I like how you explore so many different sides of Aragorn and stages of his life in these drabbles and vignettes, and include so many other characters while you're at it. I especially enjoyed this chapter, probably because I always loved the the relationship between Aragorn and Gandalf in the books.

"For a man with so little pride, you have remarkable goals," - A perfectly fitting description of Aragorn before he became Elessar.

I also loved the vignette about Estel stealing Asfaloth - poor Glorfindel, he should better get used to it. ;-)

Somehow I really, really love Arwen's dialogue for this- the way she starts a conversation with the actualy point without any build up to what the hell she's talking about. Not only did it make me laugh like crazy, but it seemed very in character. Somehow she's not exactly tuned into the same frequency as the rest of us... or rather, we're not tuned into hers and she doesn't always adjust for that.

Dont' tell me this is the end!  I like the idea that Eldarion is showing off the White Tree a century later.  This is after Aragorn has died, correct?

Hi, Mar'isu: Thanks for your comment on "King Elessar's Peace." I do mean to continue to add to my drabble series on Aragorn, as the stories are written. Eventually I plan to have at least one little story on each of his names. I write the stories as they come to me, not according to any plan, and they are posted according to where they would fall in his lifetime.

From your comment I see I need to make some revisions in "King Elessar's Peace." It is meant to take place about 10 or 20 years before Aragorn's death--that is, toward the end of his reign when things are supposedly at their best and the peace firmly established. The characters are not Eldarion and his son, but an old man of the common people and his grandson, come to see the Tree that stands for the Peace. You know, it's really hard sometimes to get all that information into a drabble! That's precisely why I like the form. 

Thanks again,

Gandalfs apprentice
