Summary
I wrote this over ten years ago & I still like it. In the process of attempting to write a 4th Age Aragorn gapfiller, I had some speculations about his son:
Eldarion, seeking a wife, would have been in a rather opposite situation than Aragorn. (Written in 1996 or 97) -

Summary
How did Denethor ever end up married to Finduilas of Dol Amroth? And given that Aragorn was in Gondor at the time, under the name Thorongil, might he not have been interested in this courtship? This romance is told partly through the eyes of each of the three individuals involved (plus Imrahil), and partly through the medium of letters between them all. First of the Steward's Family sequence. No objectionable content. By Celandine.

Summary
His father named him "wanderer"; but everyone called him Pippin. He was the youngest Companion of the Fellowship of the Ring, an innocent and foolish lad who walked heedlessly into legend. Twelve years after the War of the Ring, feeling trapped by responsibilities he doesn't want, Peregrin Took struggles with a restlessness he can no longer deny. Now, traveling amidst the vast and unexplored vistas of Far Harad, caught up in a war against a tyrannical Magician and the quest for a legendary Jewel, this impossibly curious, recklessly courageous hobbit discovers unexpected friends, devious foes, and a girl who will claim his heart, as he searches for the meaning of home.
