Reviews for But They Might Hope
KOTHP5532 chapter 1 . 9/28/2019
Good. Very good. I feel no more needs to be said.
Copyright-Prime chapter 1 . 11/20/2012
I can usually think of some lengthy, drawn out rant to explain how much I either loved or disliked a story, giving helpful pointers and nudges as well as praising the betters aspects of the work as a whole. But here, I am at a loss for words. I will do my best to scrape what I can from my speechless state of awe, wonder, and envy.

Aside from the fact that the characters are fabulously written and delved into, expanded and built on in ways I may have only unconsciously imagined but never fully thought about, the way they interact and how Prowl's point of view stays his point of view, even when speculating over Sideswipe's actions, is purely... there are no words. None that suitably describe how amazing it is.

I could feel what Prowl felt, understand what Sideswipe was going through, the different emotions physically seeping from the text and resting in my heart. Their at first seemingly innocent questions ending up with ones that required deep thought but with the inability to describe these thoughts, it is marvelous.

The situation, the actions, the words, the thoughts, all the connections and the peek into the way Prowl's mind works... it is all so much to take in and process while at the same time I can truly hear and see what is going on as simply as if it were a movie or just another happening in every day life. This piece of art is wonderful, and I realize now how I am continuing to switch tenses, but I am not caring about that at the moment.

On a slightly random note, I approve of your use of commas. I feel not many people fully grasp what it means to be a comma, and how much commas can add to the overall feel of the story in itself. Aherm. Anyway.

I salute you, and envy how smoothly and completely you have displayed these characters in their unusual yet popularly used situation. Even the barely mentioned ones seemed to have a enough expression to be more than background filler. Splendid job, and I wish you good luck for if you ever find you need a little extra. Over and Out!

Such a beautiful story 3
Kiwee chapter 1 . 7/3/2010
I - wow. I don't really know Prowl or Sideswipe well, but this is an amazing story. Their personalities is shown so well through their conversation, and the way they bared their souls is nothing less than breathtaking. I adore this more vulnerable and - well, not exactly, but - human side of them. Beautiful story!
sierpinsky chapter 1 . 3/21/2010
Brilliant work here. I, sadly, lack the eloquence to praise this piece of art. It is very deep. One day, when I'm older and smart enough to peel back the layers and understand this, I will print it out and mull over it but as of now, I'll just enjoy it as Transformers fanfiction. _ Keep writing! I'd love for more to come.

Oh and by the way, Fidelis was really good too. Very creative way to tell the story. I had lots of fun reading it. And... (yes yet annother mini-review crammed in here) Blue 42 was highly amusing, and it's your fault that I choked on my drink more than once whike reading this. ;)

It's so beautiful! A very touching tale, I love it!
Rebell chapter 1 . 8/29/2009
Me again! You really have sucked me into your stories... I think whenever I see your penname on the F-net from now on, I'm going to be clicking madly and waiting impatiently for the page to load.

Again, your writing is just so well fleshed out it's a pleasure to read. The characters really shine and their conversations are absolutely fantastic. Though this one is a little darker than a couple others I've read, it's still absolutely amazing, and now I'm prompted to add you to my favorite Authors list as well.

Absolutely love it. *claps*
Splatter Fall chapter 1 . 8/1/2009
Wow. ._. I can't really... begin to explain how reading this made me feel. Sort of sad, and happy, and moved. Definitely moved. ,_, Sort of swirly. I wanna cry and giggle.

XD' This was... something else. Really.
ArokenHalo chapter 1 . 2/7/2009
You know, an awful lot of writers tag their stories with "drama/humor" but yours is one of the very, very few which I can say do both (and do it well). That takes no little amount of talent.

A wonderful fic. This had me laughing and giggling and smirking to myself and, at odd intervals, I also found myself tearing up, 'hmm'-ing thoughtfully and pondering the intricacies of life. That quality of writing is something that I usually only see in published works (and still only the very best, at that).

And (here, I believe I'll be showing my age) you just rock awesomely. I don't know if I can put it any better than that.

Thanks for giving some depth to my favorite character (Sides), and doing it so originally (heh, Prowl). And, thanks also for continuing to post your awesomeness (
Faithfulpurelight chapter 1 . 10/10/2008
Finally read this one, and I think I've read them all.

Ouch.

Ouch Ouch ouch.

Very very deep, although rather sad. I love it.

thank you for posting it.

Aww, this was kind of cute in it's own way! I love your writing style.
StarSwoop chapter 1 . 7/12/2008
That was really touching!
ArmoredSoul chapter 1 . 7/7/2008
I can't even find the words.

This...

Touched me.

Touched my very soul.

And I find that I have learned the greater purpose behind the petty mess that is life.

Thank you.
Atalan chapter 1 . 5/10/2008
I love a lot of things about this, but I shall mention two particularly: I love how _long_ it takes them to start talking, and I love, love it that the "truth or dare" focuses on hard, really hard, questions, rather than on silly romance cliches. Even more than that, the answers you have them give to those questions are really fascinating and show a lot of thought and characterisation.
commodore modesty chapter 1 . 3/21/2008
I always loved this fic. It's such a fantastic character piece and goes into depth that even many great fan writers don't go to.

Thanks for putting it up here, such a shame Lambotricks is no more.
