Super druga część. Odniosę się do kilku punktów, które przykuły moją uwagę/podobały się najbardziej.

1. Wszystkie wstawki dotyczące rozpieszczenia Tornada przez Rosę i jak Zorro musiał sobie później z tym radzić.
2. Fajnie podkreśliłaś Zorra szczęście do kobiet, gdy próbował być pomocny i uprzejmy jak reagowała na to Ros.
3. W rozdziale 6 trochę nie załapałam początku. Diego pyta, skąd magistrado wie o zasadzce z bandytami. Odpowiedź jest od Carmelity, a potem jest nawiązanie do Rosy?
4. To, że w grobie będzie jeden z tych biednych usmażonych vaquero to podejrzewałam. Ale to jak Diego prawie został zdemaskowany podczas konsolacji w tawernie, to naprawdę było zaskakujące. Już widziałam, jak zdejmuje tę rękawiczkę, a tu bang, Zorro za oknem. I w życiu nie domyśliłabym się, że to Peraza.
5. Świetnie opisałaś tę scenę pojedynku Diego i Perazy. Z tą całą kontrolą i w ogóle. Super.

Mam nadzieję, że skusisz się kiedyś na ciąg dalszy, skoro zostawiłaś otwartą furtkę :D

What a lovely story, you caputured the characters So Well you captured me as Well and I just had to read to story in one go. Diego’s thoughts were So Well written it really had me laughing out loud!

Very enjoyable story. I loved hearing Diego’s inward thoughts, and he will really have to watch himself six months from now. Thanks for writing!

I’ve been revisiting some of my favorite fics and I cannot believe I forgot how funny this one is. All of Diego’s inner remarks had me laughing out loud. And how quickly he folded when talking with Rosa was precious. I’m so glad I’m rereading this.

Jak ja się cieszę, że nie musze pisać tego komentarza po angielsku.
Kilka lat temu przeczytałam inne twoje opowiadanie i również byłam zachwycona, ale tym razem… Szanowna autorko, NIGDY w życiu nie chciało mi się czytać tak długiego fanfika, a od twojego nie mogłam się oderwać! Wspaniale rozplanowałaś tak długą i skomplikowaną historię, unikając urwanych wątków i ślepych uliczek, wszystkie strzelby Czechowa wystrzeliły, jak powinny, postacie świetnie oddawały charaktery z serialu, a te nowe były dopracowane i wiarygodne… Ależ mi serce waliło podczas rozmowy Zorra i kapitana pod spaloną chatą i w tawernie, gdzie Diego już, już miał zdejmować tę swoją rękawicę… (swoją drogą, chętnie bym się dowiedziała jak by się sprawy potoczyły, gdyby faktycznie musiał ją zdjąć). Szczere gratulacje.

i enjoyed it a lot! thanks

I must say this story was excellent. Diego's "voice" was fantastic - I don't normally care for first-person perspective, but it suited absolutely beautifully here. It seemed very in-keeping with the show, especially the humor in how Diego speaks, sometimes. I laughed out loud more than once. It was great.

I must also credit you that the (major) original characters were well thought out and three-dimensional and very well presented. Good job.

you did really really well. The characters and their reactions- especially Diago's internal monologues- are spot on. and the plot. Well thought out, interesting, lots of twits. I loved it! please keep writing, a lot.

The thoughts about swordfighting while they dueled is neat. And, poor Diego and his not thinking of all possibilities.
Too bad about the mess Diego and the brothers had made. I was kind of hoping they could blame it on Zorro, but I also thought it would put him in a bad light.

This fic started getting quite interesting to me in the last few chapters. Especially after the fire. There's been a few things revealed that I already had thought of, but I kind of like that. I guess it's because you give clues beforehand and give the opportunity to find out before even Don Diego does. When there was mention of burying Zorro, I thought the sergeant might have gotten a different body, since it was mentioned about some people dying from a fire before. And when Zorro was talking to the Magistrado, and was thinking about why the guy couldn't kill him himself, I thought that might mean they're brothers. Though, the identity of the impostor Zorro came as a surprise. I had immediately thought of Bernardo (except that he would probably be recognized) or Rosa (though I doubt Diego would like her doing that). ...seems like there was another thing I had thought of before it was revealed, but I can't think of what it was now. Though, I think Garcia's known about Zorro's identity pretty much since the very beginning, when he thought about the mustache, which makes him seem quite a bit smarter than he appears. Especially some things after that. Even his response to Diego's words when being worried about him talking if he drinks too much. Hmm... I also thought Zorro was a bit incautious when he had stopped to talk to Rosa, which turned out correct. Though I think that was mainly about, if I had a secret like that, I would be quite cautious, while Zorro's been around for quite awhile and had never been all that cautious.

great story ida... and as u said it calls for a sequel!

will be waiting patiently

I love this story - your portrayal of the world of WD's Zorro is perfect! I hope you will do a follow-up, meanwhile I will bookmark it for future re-reading enjoyment. Thank you.

I love all the twists and turns in this story! The complexities in it are so deep and multi-faceted that it's a wonder that the characters (at least Diego, who sees all the various strands of it) manage to keep it all straight in their minds - or that you can keep it straight in your mind, too! You are a master story-weaver. So many intense and moving and just perfect elements of this. The dialogue, the characters' voices are so right for the characters in the tv series - particularly with Don Alejandro, I think time and again that I can actually hear him saying the lines you've written for him. Diego's increasing desperation and despair, and the overwhelming shock of the discovery of the body in the grave ... Diego thinking that he is so tired of secrets ... And then, goodness, what a character Barcelo is! What a wonderful creation you have in him, but my heavens, how maddening the poor man is! So painfully noble and honorable and duty-bound, one doesn't know whether one should want to hug him or to strangle him! And what a horrible situation he is in, being so afraid that Diego is Zorro, and hoping so much that he is not ... And Sergeant Garcia! The poor, dear man! I do admit to some regret that he once again is forced to give up his conviction that Diego is Zorro ... although I know, of course, why Zorro is unwilling to let him know the truth, in order to protect him, I do have a wistful longing for Garcia to be taken into Diego's confidence - he certainly deserves such a gesture of trust and respect, after all that he has done for el Zorro.

And now this twist with the Magistrado masquerading as Zorro - you completely took me by surprise with that. It was a very good touch, to have that plot element of his newly trimmed hair that Diego and Bernardo notice. I have no idea what our dear Magistrado is up to - but I look forward eagerly to finding out!

Amazing!

There were some seriousness and drama.)

Also love the ending.

This story was absolutely phenomenal! I have read all of your Zorro stories thus far and they are all amazing, but I think this one is by far my favorite! Your characters are so well crafted... I loved Barcelo and even Peraza - you wrote them so well. Rosa is my favorite addition to the usual cast - she is so fiery and absolutely perfect for Diego! I like their little adorable love scenes. I'm so glad he finally found someone who appreciates both Diego and Zorro (but Diego more!).

I think my favorite scene in this whole story was when Garcia is accused and Diego plans to give himself up. He reflects about how the child won't be born for four more months and he won't be able to meet him/her. That was so incredibly moving. You're really great at creating emotional scenes and getting the emotions to shine through your characters. That's a skill that not a lot of writers have.

And as for the end... Barcelo is coming back? Can Diego get no rest? Secretly, I love it. I had no idea this was going to be a trilogy, now I'm super excited for the next installment! I cannot wait to see what you have planned next, I'm sure it'll be as enjoyable an adventure as this one was.

You're a great writer, don't ever stop! :D
