This was amazing. Your writing style still shines even after more than a decade.

So emotional and well-done. I love this story even after reading it several times.

I'm going to kinkshame Brayden.
But in all reality, I'm in love with this wonderful universe you've created, and i may or may not be crying right now. I wish you the best in writing!

cool. I like knowing a bit more abot their past.

I love it! Just as good as The Return!

Falling in love by beating on each other... I don't know if that's really kinky or really sweet... Lol I love your stories

This was absolutely beautiful and incredibly insightful. Thank you.

Lovelovelove. I've always wondered about the backstory between Brayden and Natalia, and this was really, really deep and uber cool. Awesome job, as usual.

Deep, inspirational, and thirst quenching. This should hold me over until you start updating Reconciliation again.

I look forward to more insightful works from you.

Aw... poor Brayden! I feel so sorry for him now!

This was truly, truly beautiful and more than a little sad. Loved it.

As fantastically written as your other pieces, so much emotion comes through in your writing. Still patiently waiting on Reconciliation, as eager for more as the day I first stumbled across your works.

This really pulled at my heartstrings; you're amazing at writing from a character's perspective and making the reader really care about them.

That was SO good. Ohmygoodness, so sad and awesome and GOOD!

Fantastic! Very eloquent, and how Brayden and Natalia got together was a mystery I'm very glad to see solved...

I cannot even describe how happy I am that you're not dead/have stopped writing/etc...

First of all...yay; you're still in existance! Next...great job...as usual. It's cool to get some background on one of my favorite supporting characters (Brayden)and see, basically, how Link came to be...what came before him, and even though he wasn't raised by his parents, and the thing about the desert wearing people down to the core...I've often thought of people in that way but what a great and suitable metaphor! You've kinda inspired me to actually post some stuff now that I'm on break from school, but at the same time, it's intimidating because I don't see how it could ever be this good. In short, love your work, can't wait to see more.

Wow I'm insanely happy to see you're at least alive :). And writing again.

Seriously, I love your writing and look forward to more of it. I understand the huge gap though-and it's kind of hard to get on someone for a crime you yourself are in the process of committing (check out my profile updates-I'm not such a veteran as you I think, but I'm getting there :D )

Anyway, I look forward to your next update!

Good show!
