This suddenly spurred my long-dormant interest in dancing. Leave it to HopeLight, am I right? An immensely well-written HopeLight at that. This was marvelous and felt so organic. I can't say enough good things.

This is such a good story. A brilliant series of firsts.

This is beyond a doubt a beauty of a fic piece. I've always been such a big fan of dance AUs and this was the best one I've ever read in any fandom!

Fantastic story. Utterly adorable.

This was a very cute, refreshing read. Thanks.

Noooo, I need more. That can't be it.

Great story :D

That was surprising and adorable! It pushed my suspension of disbelief to the limit when I read that Snow was a dancer as well, but I kept going anyway and am glad I did. Thanks for sharing!

This was so good !

This was really cute!

Superb. That's all i have to say.

What an amazing AU! I would have never thought to combine ballet and FFXIII, but the way you wrote it made it seem so natural. I loved the interaction between Hope and Lightning; how easily they move together and how Lightning somehow manages to be both blunt and shy about their chemistry. I haven't taken ballet in quite some time, so this was really cool and refreshing for me to read. I probably learned a lot more about ballet too, haha.

I've mentioned it before, but you're one of my favorite Hopurai writers, and I love the way you write the characters. It would be great to see more AU stories like this in the future (but I'm sure I'll love whatever you write regardless) :D

This was so wonderful. I loved reading about them from a real dancer's perspective, it's really obvious that you know what you're talking about. :D I've never danced ballet myself, I'm just a classical pianist who has spent a lot of time with dancers. I'm so happy my fic inspired you to write this, this was great! 3

I'm definitely not use to reading ballet AUs, but you pulled it off so well. I was drawn in instantly with your superb writing skills and characterizations. While the romance felt a little rushed there at the end, it's still an amazing chapter.
