great story! love it

Honest bandit? Really Gandalf?

aw love this ch

Wow, this was such an amazing story! I read it all in one day, I was so excited to see what would happen in the next chapter! Thank you posting. :)

Ack, what next?! I am beginning to believe that Aragorn is not going to survive this story! Estel's plan was indeed ingenious, but I think the two Elves waiting outside the door need to step inside the room... right now!

Rangers?! Somehow I can't wrap my mind around the fact that it was them... Maybe the twins and Gandalf are incorrect, or the Ranger was captured and forced to give out information? O.O I don't know. Nonetheless, great update!

I thought the ending was quite perfect. :) It's good that Elrond and Estel understand each other now. Keep up the great work!

Phew, hope remains! I am enjoying this story so much; it just gets better with every new chapter!

The one flashback about Aragorn leaving Imladris after asking for Arwen's hand was very sad, though well-written. Good job!

Aw, it keeps getting worse for poor Aragorn! I look forward to reading chapter 6!

I was wondering about the timeline, haha! Shadowfax would have been pretty old if he was still alive when the War of the Ring came around! I'm glad you explained it in your note. ;) I'm glad that the Wraith is gone for the moment; he made things a little more difficult for poor Aragorn!

Awww, teary eyes at this end. Sweet.

Erm, yes, I believe Aragorn is in a smashing amount of trouble! :P Great update. ;)

Ha, Legolas better be careful what he says to the wizard! It seems that Aragorn may be getting into a little trouble, too. :/ Aside from that, I noticed in a couple places you were saying 'wondering' instead of 'wandering.' It's just a little typo, I know, but I thought I'd point it out anyways!
