I love how you connected all of this up to the poem at the beggining. It was very raw and written with the skill of a great writer.

Your fictions of Xena and Ares, along with those of Lady Kate are the best I have ever read. This one is one of my favorites:)

I usually don't judge a story by its title, but the title you choose for this story was really well-picked. The poem at the beginning was beautiful and raw. You made me feel like the world has ended, then begun anew at the last line of the story.

nice story! you did a very good job writing it!

Wow. That was such a good story. Saddening, but well written and such great use of description.

I liked this story, Tango. I liked how the interaction between Ares and Xena was worked, and they were both afraid of commiting it seems. Nice job!
