This is the second or third time I've read this fic. I always come back to it every time the Winx hyperfixation rears its head, and it never disappoints. I love character-driven fics and you capture Musa and Riven so well, you honestly give me entire new perspectives on the inner mechanisms of their respective psyches with each re-read. Your headcanons are so well thought out too, really helping to flesh out the universe and make the worldbuilding far more realistic.
Please keep writing!

This is such a good fic, i love how in character Musa and Riven were in this story. Great work!

It's from the episode where they are on a vacation in the wildlands

Hey!
I am glad I found this story again...! You know this was the second fanfic that I ever read and probably my first winx club fanfic which officialy transformed me into a Musa/Riven shipper...!
I absolutely loved it! I read it two years ago but I still remember clearly what happened in it...
Anyways I just want to say that you are a great author I reallly like your stories. I got a lot of inspiration from this story!:)

It was the best story ever. Loved it. You definately nailed it.

You should publish this on wattpad

I know this was done awhile ago, and that I am on chapter 4 but, this is actually amazing. It has so much detail and feeling, and I think it is an excellent piece. Im hoping it will be even more interesting the further on I read. Im looking forward to reading the rest!

I really liked how you didn't make them kiss at the end, it just fit better. I have to agree with you about how Musa and Riven always seen to fall too fast and that's not like their relationship. Very well done :)

hey Zadien!
this review is like a day late since i finished reading this fanfiction yesterday night. lol

i really enjoyed how you developed and what you did with the relationship between Riven and Musa3 it was perfect and i loved what you did at the end in chapter ten3 with that picture, it may not have been the best idea for riven's past but i still enjoyed how you did it and made musa find that picture.
another thing i enjoyed was what you did by bringing up Musa's past and where she was from.

i really enjoyed this story and your writing is so detailed and fantastic! i hope you continue becuase your one of the best writings i have found on this site and i am a little envious of how great your writing is...

soo please do not stop writing fanfiction!3

i liked your story allot.i think it was great because it viewed on their relationship forming between the two.i loved it! :]

Loved this story and your writing!

Finally finished reading all of this and it was totally worth it!

I love the dynamics you made Musa and Riven have in this fic. Totally adds new depth to them that's hardly ever seen.

Great job!

Why am I now getting around to reading this?

Seriously, why? This is is pretty good!

Excuse me while I go read more.

Love the fact that they don't immediately fall in love. Things should take a while. I would love to read a sequel too! This story is definitely going on my favourite list! 3

Six years and ten chapters. You must be mentally and spiritually exhausted. But I'm proud of you for finishing it. It took some time, but you never caved into fan pressure and wrote the story the way it needed to be written, because it HAD to be written.

Now I will admit, this last chapter was so-so. It wasn't bad, just not the epiphany I had hoped for. The beginning with those new fairies kind of dragged out longer than was necessary. They took up more screen time than I would have liked. Also, I wasn't blown away by the revelation of Riven's past. About the only part of it I did like was his mother's ancestry. It would explain Riven's inbred wanderlust and outsider nature. Gypsies, or Roma as they are really called, are shunned in many parts of the world simply for not fitting in. Riven is a gypsy at heart.

Okay, so the ending wasn't what I'd expected, but I cannot deny my pleasure at completing such a fine story. If anything, I would have hoped there'd be a final scene in the swamp, as Riven and Musa silently look back. What did they lose? Innocence? Youth? What did they bring back out with them? Courage? Trust? It would have been closing the book on pivotal moment in their lives. In fact, you could even have had one of those succubae bats watching them leave hand in hand, its eyes a shade of both magenta and navy blue as it had absorbed some of their energy during the attack. The bat is a manifestation of them, the part of them that never left, the part of them will remain in Black Mud Swamp forever.

But don't change a thing. This story is perfect the way it is. It's real. Just like Musa and Riven are real. Keep them real.
