| This is lovely, a new way, small, intimate way to see Middle Earth's most powerful couple. I love Arwen's coy voice - "guess?" It makes this a very personal piece as if heard whispered in your ear. |

| Until now I've never really considered a person's hands betraying their personality, but there it is; fighter, healer, father, husband and, above all, Arwen's complete trust in him. There is a lot packed into this short piece. Thank-you for sharing it. |

| Very nice. I've always thought that a man's hands say a lot about him and this is a lovely veiw of Aragorn. |

Very beautiful, touching and lovely. I had a feeling as if Arwen and I were sitting on a bench in the garden on a sunny day and she would tell me this, just like that and yet in private. Thank you for creating such a feeling  |

| Wow! I love it. It is so very touching that she would hold something most people would find trivial, dear. |

Copy of my MEFA review on this so you have it with the story =0)
This delightful look into Arwen's mind about Aragorn makes the inner romantic in me want to sigh or swoon. I have always been a sucker for the romance of Arwen and Aragorn - much more so than Beren and Luthien - and hearing Arwen's view of Aragorn touched me. To her he is not just a king, a leader, a great warrior, or a great ranger. He is flawed and not the most beautiful she has ever see - after all she has lived surrounded by the beautiful First Born elves all of her life. But something so small as his hands, made it so much more realistic to me. Most people in love notice something small and perhaps insignificant to others that stands out to them. Viv has also shown Arwen's more human side in my opinion. The line about stroking his son's hair made me teary eyed then the last paragraph gave me chills.
{So when I press my lips to each raw knuckle and to the toughened pad of each dear finger, he knows not only that I love him. He knows that he holds my fëa, and a doom now uncertain, in his ever gentle hands.}
Gah! how romantic is that?? It makes me want to melt and it definately helps add to my love for Aragorn. Wimpers. And a little teary eyed - her writing always makes me emotional. Not to mention Viv's style of writing just flows exquisitely and leaves you wanting more. I am waiting impatiently for her full length story with Arwen and Aragorn because I think she could write it so it was true to canon, unbelievable romantic, without being too over the top 'romance novel'. |
