You Must Hope by Aragorns_Lady_in_Bree
This my first try at this kind of fan fiction. I have other chapters ready that promise to be longer and more exciting. This is kinda a cross between action and angst. I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters no matter how much I want them.
It was a cloudy afternoon on the borders of the
fair city of Rivendell. Aragorn and
Legolas had been on a hunting trip, in which
Legolas was wounded on his arm. The
wound was not serious and he was suffering no ill
effects. They decided that since they
were near Rivendell, they better have Elrond look
at it to be safe.
When they reached Rivendell,
something was amiss. The two friends immediately
noticed the lack of noise. All was silent. Normally
the air would be filled with the sound
of laughter and singing, but there was nothing.
Legolas immediately noticed the worried look on his
friend’s face. Aragorn was silent, but quickened his
pace.
A few moments later, they
discovered the reason for the uneasy silence. On
entering the house of Elrond, they were met by a
grim elf. Legolas didn’t recognize him,
though Aragorn seemed to.
After a brief and private
conversation, Aragorn turned a grave face to the
young elven prince and hurried down the hall.
Legolas had never seen his friend like
this before and looked to the healer for an
explanation…

Congratulations on such a masterpiece!! Sorry I haven’t reviewed for a long time, but I didn’t have any time!!!
I would like to ask you to write more chapters!! I’m really curious about how the story will end!! I wonder if Elrond will be ok, or maybe he’ll die afterall…anyway, it’s going to be loads of fun!!! ;p
Once again, congratulations!!
Please do not stop writing the story now. When people don’t review it doesn’t mean they don’t like it. Maybe they just want to wait until the story is finished and they have read the whole thing.I will tell you that I like it very much and would wish to know the ending.
This chapter was fantastic!! But I’m curious about on thing:why did Aragorn and Legolas leave?
I hope I’ll find out, maybe in the next chapter!!
Keep up a good work!!
I like it alot but you should finish the explaining part. Other than that, it sounds like you are a great writer. Good Job!!!
I desperatly need to know what is going to happen

I’m very curious to find out if Legolas and Aragorn manage to find the orcs and kill them!! (or maybe they will die trying :))) )
PPlease post another chapter soon!! PLEEEASE!!!
Uh oh this cant be good with the orcs But this story is so cool i love it
Uh oh there in trouble now i hope they can get out or hide in time
Once again, congratulations!!
This is getting even more mysterious than it was already!!
i really think you should talk to someone about publishing your book!! And I’m not joking! After you finish it, try talking to a publishing house about your book, maybe they will be interested in it!! Seriously!!!
Keep up a good work!! ;p
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really need to know what happens.The plot thickens. 🙂

Please, Please, PLEASE write more. We need to know the end of the story!
I loved it was wonderful! Very descriptive. Bravo! I wish I could read more it right now. Keep on writing; I want more.
that is an awesome story! please keep writing ! i can’t wait to find out what will happen next… the suspense is killing me!!!
WHAT!!!!! WHERE IS ELROND!!… *starts bawling* I want Elrond…. *and stops*
Major cliff-hanger. I hate cliff-hangers.I can’t wait till the next chapter is up.
This is getting better and better! I can’t wait to find out what has happened to Elrond.
What can I say more than congratulations?
Ahhh! Somebody help me I’m hanging by a thread! Please write more, quickly.
Blame arwen__luthien for this review. I hate short chapters!!! Make them longer, and I will be happier!
P.S. How did you do the upside down question marks???
Did Aragorn & Legolas have Mr. Scott use the transporter to beam them from the Old Forest to Sam’s home in Hobbiton? Otherwise, I don’t know how they possibly covered the 40+ miles between the two places in just 10 minutes?
Hey I thought your fanfiction was great so far! Your words were nice and descriptive and you just started it and already put in plenty of action!(I LOVE action stories!) Keep up the GREAT work! and for everyones sake write more chapters I’m dying to know what happens next!
P.S. I hope you get plenty reviews!
P.S.S.put plenty of Legolas in the story too!(if you read my username I think you’ll get the picture!:)
keep writing!
Meltintalle, the upsidedown question marks are made by holding down ALT and pressing 168 on the number pad. (¿) You can also make letters this way: 137: ë, 160: á, ect.
It is sooo good!! I can’t wait for the next chapter!!
Thanks so much!
This is a very interesting story, and i hope you write more of it. I was kinda wondering though, why didn’t Aragorn try any of the antidote he had gotten from Sam on Elrond?
What happened next? Aww… it’s a great story why end it now? Come on, make another.
uh oh where is he hmm i cant think mabey i dont know but i need the next chapter
MORE!! So far this story has been great! The last few chapters have kept me on the edge of my seat. I need to know what happens next. The story line is put together really well, the plot is picking up nicely. Can’t wait to see the next chapter.
Great chapter!!! Loved it!!!
I hope Aragorn and Legolas will (not) die. ;p
I can’t wait for the next chapter!!!
Very good. There is just one thing I ask. Write more, PLEASE!!!!!
Oh good. Longer chapter. *grins* Well, what’d you want? Me to beg for more? P.S. Well, well, well. You learn something new every day! Now if only I can get it to work for me…
i love it so far.please make more!
a cliifie.i love cliffies!please hurry and make more!
I luv this story, please keep writing, i can’t wait to see what happens! no offence but i’m pretty sure earwen was in the silmarilion, some relative of some other guy.
I just read all of the chapters tonight and I have to say Great Work! I love how the story is going! keep up the good work!
If Earwen was in the Simirilian, then this person is just named after that erwen… and is defianitely not the same person, or anything…
Interesting. *drags out fav. complaint* Too short again, though. *grins* Bet you knew that already. I think Valandil is a Numenorean name though. *runs off to check it out* I’ll let you know what I find…
Your characters are great!! It doesn’t matter that most of them are girls!!
As for this chapter, it is trully a masterpiece!!
Once again, congratulations!!
Nice story! What will happen next? Please write soon! I want to find out what happens next.
I absolutely LOVE your story! I just joined the site a couple of days ago and your story was the first I read! It’s so intriguing and I can’t wait to find out what happens next. PLEASE CONTINUE! Too many good stories get left incomplete!
The female characters are well written. They seem strong, it’s about time there were more strong female characters in stories, besides Eowyn. I can’t wait to read more of this story, it’s really picking up. Great job!!
*…comes back with results* Valandil and Eërwen are good Quenan names. 🙂 E was Thingol’s niece in the QS. And, now that I’ve thought about it, I’ve got a more helpful (I hope) review. Well, questions. Why did Elrond change his mind and go with Arwen so easily? And why (what?) was going on at Meduseld?
CLIFF-HANGER!!!! grrrr…..*grumblings*
hmmm, I like where your going, but you didn’t word it as good as your last chaptor. But it is still AWSOME! please keep writing.
Love it! It is amazing!
It’s soo good! I can’t wait for the next chapter!!
Thanx

I am really enjoying where the story is going, I wish I knew where it was going though! All this suspense if killing me! It’s very good. Keep up the great work, you’re a very good writer.
What can I say except good work!!
This chapter is as wonderful as all the rest!! But I hope the next chapter will be posted soon enough, because I’m really courious about who knocked on the door.
I think it’s great! please post more, Im dying to know whta happens !!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no! Both of our favorite elves wounded! What’re you gonna do next, murder Arwen? Ahh, that’d be pure evil…anyway, nice story! Love it!
Ah, he lives! More!More!More! You must post more…great suspense! Keep it up!!
This story is excellent, but a few revisions must be made:
Elladen is Elladan.
Sorry, but that is the only one I can remember at the time. Keep up the good work!
I like it it shows promise and places to go. It also tops your imagination, who is there, where are all the elves, and what will they do to fix it all? Please put in the other chapter soon!
I think the story is great so far, but one quick thing to point out-in the last chapter I don’t think it said that they were being chased by wargs. . . I might have missed it, but still. . .
I think your story so far is GREAT! When will the next chapter be out? One small think though (this may seem a little piddly), when Legolas is stabbed, first you say it’s his left side, then you say it’s his right. Just wanted to point it out
Your fic is GREAT! I can´t wait to read the next chapter. You´re doing it very well. Just another thing: PLEASE, DON´T LET ANYONE DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
V. good. As far as the next chapters, the sooner you post them, the better:-)
WOW it is great i love this story i couldn’t stop reading it. i loved it and i would love to read more coz it just SO GOOD
plz plz plz plz plz write more it great

Okay. I haven’t read the whole thing yet, ALIB, but, I can say that once I read the first three chapters, I pretty much had lost hope that the story was going to go anywhere. Now, I know that you will take this as the true constructive criticism that it really is and know that I’m not just snubbing you, because I know you read my fanfic and I’m constantly asking for good constructive criticism. When I read the first chapter this is what I thought: it moves far, far, far too fast, so fast that it was like reading an outline for a story rather than the story itself. There were spelling and grammatical errors everywhere, which many people think aren’t all that important, but in all honesty make a large difference in how your story is responded to. Your focus was very unclear, and your descriptive words were sorely in need of a jolt. Okay, that was the worst of it. So, I skipped to the last chapter that you added, and for that I have far better things to say. All of the afore mentioned problems I noticed had been addressed. Your pacing and variation in sentence structure and vocabulary had taken a great leap forward, though as far as the speed (which was what bothered me the most about the first few chapters) it did still need some work, but it was far improved. Your characters were more developed, and your overall writing showed considerable improvement over your beginnings. Now, the problems that I mentioned were not eliminated, they were dramamtically improved, and you still have room to grow, but you have the makings of a fine writer, and if you keep practicing and put your mind to it, I know you can go places. What I would say needed the most attention in the final chapter was how well you broke up your paragraphs and made the transitions between scenes, and as I mentioned before the speed of the story as a whole still needs much work. I’m not sure that any of what i’ve just said makes a difference since you’ve decided to abandon this particualr story, but I do hope that if you read this it will help you as you attempt to write your novel. I too am working on something that I would like to have published, so from one author to another, may you succeed and I hope you will take to heart all that I’ve said. Please let me know when you have your book published, I would much like to read it. Best wishes, Menegroth.
wow! even by reading that little segment of your story i was on edge to see what would happen! If it concludes please post it! Taht was so good!
