that's beautiful. Your writing was phenomenal in this peice, so poetic and true to Soren's character, and it delved so precisely into that part of Soren and Ike's relationship that it seemed almost as if it were plucked straight from the game. This made me cry. good job.

Beautiful, absolutely perfectly done. 3 Love how you kept them -exactly- in character as I imagined, while giving a little leeway in their emotions. (And thank you for not turning it into yet another shouen-ai story.)

Stories like these just make the games richer than ever before.

Shadowwarriorassassin enjoyed it.

Sweet with little bitterness, I liked what I read.

Excuse me, I think I got teary-eyed from that final paragraph/sentence. That just made me realise, though I had a rather basic idea, that Ike really did help open up the way with not just the Beorc-Laguz parts, it's also with the Branded and how he's affected so many peple to come to notice a sense of...reassurance with themselves? Okay, Stefan, not really, but Soren is a real canidate as is Micaiah, even if not everyone really likes her.

Back to the song which originally started my ramble (wow, I can blather can't I? XD; )I'm currently listening to a music group called "Red" and the song is called "Never Be The Same" which, the whole group has so many Ike-Soren related songs, it makes my heart warm up. 3 Specfically, it's the chorus bit of that song that always reminds me of these two.

I think I caught a small error somewhere, I think it was meant to be a "He'd" not just "He" but, I can't remember where I saw it exactly in the story. ._.;

I really like ur story!, unlike the other ones i've read with the same plot line, this one shows...umm...more affection?...yeah, it's more emotional then the other ones i've read and i really enjoyed it!

Funnily I only glanced at the summary and instantly knew it was you. Don't know why, though.

I actually found the original conversations a bit ... dull? At least they didn't touch me as they should have. But you've turned them into such a beautiful story! One really feels with Soren and his feelings building up and the the final relief! It's awesome. Your portrayal of Ike as well - it's very subtle, he's not a very expressive guy but he HAS a character and you capture it so well.

AWESOME~! BELIEVE IT~!

I loved the ending! It was very impactful and heartwarming.
