is the unedited version of this story posted anywhere else. i read it before you went back and changed things. i would like to read the story befor. the revisions if I can. i felt it made more sense and was more emotionally moving to see arcius's need and feelings and ash's reactions to it. it felt more natural in its writing. pls pm me with an answer.

This is so good at first I thought it to be weird but holy hell this is great! Also besides the first chapter is this really rated m?

It's been a year since the last review, wow.
I don't know if you read reviews anymore, but I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed your story and I thank you for the continuous update that led to the creation of a great fanfiction. I searched the site with the arceus tag and your story was the only one that sparked my interest. I gotta hand it to you, your story certainly went over my expectation. I hope you do more Ash X Arceus, the pair seems to be made for each other.

Amazing story! Got a bit weird at first but the way you portray Arceus makes this one of my top ships! Thank you!

this was just an absolute pleasure to read

Thank you. This has been an absolutely beautiful story that I still happily enjoy rereading, along with all the little sidestories. I should note that I've also managed to nab the original version of the first dozen chapters or so from before this idiot site got a beedrill up its arse abut M-rated stories. Might I suggest moving the more 'mature' stories over to AO3? They've got generally better manners and a far more tolerant attitude to this type of writing.

On another point. Quite a few chapters back, I was whacked across the ears by a plot bunny inspired by this story of yours. It's a Harry Potter/Pokemon cross where Ash's soul has been reborn (again) as Harry Potter this time. And things go south from there; involving Weasleys, Prewitts, arranged marriages, soulmatings, long lost and unknown til now history, black magic at risk of getting loose and a daughter of Ash and Arceus born from a previous incarnation about a thousand years back. Oh yes, and Gringotts. Interested?

Oh. My e-mail is out of commission, so if you are, could you please inform me via your profile? I'd certainly be happy to toss this plot bunny in your lap. I've got enough of the little beggars under foot!

While it's easy to let it slide because of the inherent intelligence of Pokémon , especially Arceus, the ability to understand and consent does not make it somehow "not" bestiality. Bestiality is sex between human and animal. A dolphin doesn't stop being a dolphinsthe , even if it is smarter than we are. Just sayin...

ashXarceus?
I SHIP IT

just finished to read the story..it was an amazing trip, really, excellent work!

This has probably been the oddest and most intriguing romance? I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

OMG this was great. I couldnt help myself when you said that you had this published in here and i couldnt stop reading, like, less than 30 hours... _
Love u

First off; thank you. I've been reading this story since I first got hooked on it back when it had a lot fewer chapters! How you managed to get these two together in such a believable, and touching, way is seriously the mark of a superior writer. Again, thank you for a story that's going to be a happy target for regular rereading in my collection.

On another point. Thanks [mostly] to you and a couple of other Ash/Arceus stories I've managed to find, this pair is now a favorite of mine to read. My other favorite pair is Ash/Sir Aaron with a couple of other minors that are interesting as well.

Some chapters back, I got whacked over the head by an oddball idea inspired by Ash and Arceus' auras meshing: it made them eternal soul mates. So when Ash's soul is reborn, s/he searches out Arceus again to re-mate and renew their bond. Of course, that latter depends on Ash's age when they re-find each other! In this whacked out idea, Ash has been reborn as Harry Potter... And things go nutsoid from there. The goblins are in for a surprise, Dumbledore isn't as nice as he seems, The Prewett side of the Weasleys are hiding secrets and Fudge is being a greedy politician. Plus a lot of the darker Houses are Up-To-No-Good. Interested?

I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for more stories from you with this pair. May we get to read lots of them. Sidenote: if you want to post the more adult version of this [and any future] stories, might I suggest parking them over on AO3? They've got better manners and a lot politer attitude for adult class stories. Do you have/know any artist friends, btw? I'd /love/ to see some artwork done for this story!

Boy, it's sure been a ride hasn't it? I remember following this story back when it only had maybe four five chapters, and I'm glad to see it reach its completion!

Overall, I think you did wonderful writing it! One thing I may suggest though; perhaps in your future works, you could focus on keeping writing a little more punctual? It was difficult to wrap my head around sentences at times from how long they went on and how metaphors and phrasing could tend to drag. Not that it made things annoying by any means, and your work is lovely to read! Really, it's rare I get to see this sort of thing in the Pokemon archive, especially for rarepairs like this.

I'm glad I could read this through to the end, and I'm very proud of you for finishing it up. Keep up the good work!

For chapter 30, if at possible you are doing more of this sweet pairing then I will be right here – campsite and fan–girling!

Thank you so much, thank you so much. You have no idea how much I adore this story, let alone pairing. Arceus x Ash rocks and the fact that you are the only writer that makes Arceus a neutral gender – not female oriented makes me happy. I love a story that can let me have a male Arceus without the constant she/her/female attachment. I'm going to miss this story. Can't wait to see what you do next!
