This is such a wonderful story! I very much behind the times having only discovered these stories. And then to see imrahil with his own story! I loved it.

What an adventurous and entertaining story! The first part with the raid to Umbar was so full of action. I liked the idea to see a young Imrahil, his meeting with Thorongil and his changing opinions of him. The rescue of the slaves was wondeful and I am glad they all considered this first, than a quick attack. I liked so much Jibran and I was glad to see he succeeded his goal and although sad, he had a heroic end. The second part with the affairs of the heart was wonderful and witty. The don't-talk-to-me-about-marriage Imrahil fell in love with a clever woman who kept challenging him and made his life difficult, while the confusion with Mirineth complicated things more. But in the end, his persistence brought fruition and he had his happy ending with Aearin. Sergion had his own with Oriel -she deserved this- and even Mirineth found her own. A toddler Boromir glimpse was cute. The narration of all this over a drink with Elphir, Meren and Aragorn was an amazing idea.

I like your take on the Corsair Raid in this; I've had quite a bit of fun reading it. Good job!

"All clear. I've three wounded, a collection of boys, and an old woman with a bad limp and a sharp tongue. How about you?" Man, this stuff is GOOD! XD I'm having a really good time with this tale!

The idea that someone suspects Aragorn to be Denethor's illegitimate brother is so very, very funny to me...

This was lovely. The enigmatic Imrahil with a human side.

Loved the spelt water, cats and birds, never consider failure, lavender cakes, to reach a truce, a chink in the armour, her single-mindedness distractedlly watching the fire-eaters, the little frown above her nose, sitting on the wall, she is infuriating...

Imrahil likes frontal surprise attacks.
He considers the woman who annoys him as his prey. Seriously hunting now, infatuated, stunned, in love.

Already using letters to push people. A later prey will be more difficult to handle. His equal.
Ruthless.

Very well structured.
It is a pity we havent seen a darker side. Enigmatic character.

Definitely one of the BEST stories here I've ever read!

I really liked how you turned a dazzling adventure into a beautiful love story. This story had everything and was a great read from start to finish.

I have always been very fond of Imrahil but after your story I like him even more.

SUPERB entertainment! I loved every word of it! Thank you!

Another fantastic tale from one of my favorite authors! Thanks LBJ!

Love, love, LOVE it :)

LOL Aragorn. I love Sergion Oriel together :)

LOL: Imrahil smiled, and took Lady Cuthwith's hand to his lips. "Thank you, my lady. I shall invite you to the wedding."

I can't wait until she actually falls in love with him :D

He messed up :(

Hahaha. At the beginning, I thought for sure that he would end up falling in love and marrying Mirineth.

HUH? How is it his fault? o_O

Hehehe. He's interested in Aearin :)
