Damn you. I have been working my ass off to get either Dirk or Mikhail to blooming hearts so that I could marry them. Then I read and finish this masterpiece and now I'm off saving up onions and milk so that I can make Ash's favorite Doria. This made me feel so much more than necessary for a Harvest Moon game. The last one I was heavily invested on was FoMT (and yes I figured out who her mother was, judging from the alcoholic background).

Forgive my initial reaction. Its just... this was just precious and sooo good, the best surely from ToTT fandom I've read. Even without the smut (it was an added bonus though). Ash came off to me as the safest bachelor choice, and those are the ones without any real 'dimension' as a character hence I never even considered him. You gave life to Lillian and Ash, and to every other character in the story, much more than what I can glean from the game play. Thank you so much for sharing this, and I am hoping to see the sequel in the foreseeable future.

PS. I am still pining for Dirk, he is just so adorable. Though I am marrying Ash in my other slot, that is a guarantee.

I just finished reading the chapter which Lillian tells her backstory. It's somewhat similar to the one I have for Lillian, only her parents are Claire and Gray. This story is great, I can't find a lot of good Ash x Lillian stories, cause for some reason, they like her paired up with Cam. Great job. :D

Hehe I love this fic and how you portray the characters n_n

Totally fits the entire story! You know, the lavender relation and all. :3

Thank you, too, for writing such a great piece! And for understanding our impending excitement to the next chaps. Hehe. XD

Well I'd just like to say a big thankyou for writing this amazing story, all thirty six chapters have been truly wonderful. There's been highs and lows but every second I have spent reading your story has been worth it and I'm very happy that Lilian and ash got the ending they deserved but I'm gutted that there will be no more chapters. I'll definitely be reading your sequel though and I hope you will always continue to write as you have a very special gift. I adore the harvest moon games and characters, especially ash and I think its great how you have brought the characters alive and give them their own personality's in your story. Anyway well done, thankyou so much for all the hard work you put into writing this story and well you'll be hearing from me again when you publish your sequel but until then i guess this is goodbye.

Congratulation for a very brilliant piece of work you have here! Personally your story is one of the best I've read on this site. It's so well-written and beautifully done. I'm so glad I found it and thank you very much for writing such a lovely story! You basically took my feelings on a roller coaster ride from chapter one to the end. You made me laugh; you made me cried... You're amazing! Anyway, once again thanks so much for writing this. I am soooo looking forward to read Ash x Lillian journey after Lavender. Let's see how breathless Ash would be when he sees Lillian in a wedding dress... xD See ya in the sequel then!

I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING AS A GUEST FOR TOO DARN LONG.

So I got my own account. And I wanna leave one of my first reviews with this beautiful ending.

When I started reading this, I had no idea what I was about to get in to. You've managed to make me laugh, cry, sigh with adoration as well as relief, and basically make me feel all of the feels that I can feel. Your character development is stellar, and you made these characters pop out more than the game ever was able to. (And now I'm kinda scared to return to the game, in all honesty.)
I'm definitely looking forward to your sequel, and seeing how much force it will require to put Lilian into a freaking wedding dress.

I'm not really sure how to wrap this up.
LOVE YOU BYE! *runs away*

Awwwww your making me blushhhh! A sequel! Oh i cant wait! Have you thought about makin the new adventure in mineral town? How the other rivals and families would react and their own children? Good luck! And smooth sailings!

Okay, wow well I'm speechless. Let's just say that was very well written and I must give you credit, that was intense. I've followed your story from the beggining and I've always loved it, I think every chapter is amazing and I absolutely adore ash and Lilian and I do think you have portrayed the characters in this story very well. I'm gonna start to review more often as this story is a stroke of genius and I'd just like to say thankyou for writing this, your obviously very talented. I always look forward to reading this story and can't wait until your next update, I hope its a happy ending but I'm really gonna miss this story when its gone and there'll be no more updates to look forward too.

Before reading this story, I was more of a Cam and Lillian fan. Now, I think I love Ash just as much. This is a great story. I'm looking forward to your next update.

Wonder how this will all end. But, whatever it is, this good story is getting better at the finish! Keep updating, please!

((And, by the way, lemme fan my flushing face first. Mehehe.))

I'm in love with your writing! You're great at describing how things happen and I love the small details you include. Literally one of the most well-written stories I've seen here. I've still have a lot to read, but I'm loving it so far.

D-don't you usually give a warning beforehand?
*continues stammering incoherently*

-.- Argh, I can't wait for the next chapter. I wish I had the power to go to the future so I could read the next chapter. LOL. :)

Okay, tell me how the heck I missed this story. I need new glasses. -.- I absoloutely adore this pairing. :) See ya in the last chapter. I hope you'll update soon, no pressure. Lol.
