That was... That was beautiful!
I just realizes that you wrote this in 2010, but I still couldn't help but leave a little note to express just how much I loved this. I guess I'm grateful once I realized that ever after all those years, you're still active.
Who CARES about the the child being OC? That's just what makes this piece of writing unique! I don't even have the writes to call this "a piece of writing," for it's much more beautiful than that. I did not at all mind Hotaru's OOCness because again, you're the writer here.
Saltwater Romance, within only two short writings of yours, I have already fallen deeply in love with the magic you are able to display. Written in a mere two hours? Now that alone is something.
I know, I know... this review is five years late. At least I'll live, assured that I at least acknowledged that I have read this.

Beautiful,

No I don't have a story like this ,well sorta, I was adopted and my real mom was adopted so we don't know our history past her. I know nothing of my real dad and my adoptive dad died six days after my ninth birth day and my dad and mom always fought. I want to get over this all, but I never really let it slip from my mind.

This review is long overdue, so I shall try to compensate for the years that passed without me giving it due... recognition. If it weren't for Maria, I wouldn't have discovered you. I'm thankful I did. I'm really, really, thankful that I did.

This was, by all means, beautiful. Contrary to what you have said, Hotaru was not out of character at all. Maybe it was just me, but if ever she was, it wasn't noticeable.

I love it when authors make own characters and shape them into perfectly /human/ individuals, that, given the circumstances, make them believable. What I mean is that, your character here (although not given a name) seemed like a part of the story she was in - that is, Gakuen Alice. Her traits were a mixture of Ruka's and Hotaru's, and her love for them was so... apparent, that it makes me wish I'll have a daughter like her in the future.

Anyway, I believe this gives us a littel dose of reality. Lovers come to a point that their relationship is akin to a rocky road, and oftentimes, they lose the will to venture on, to continue with their journey together. Most of the times, they separate and take different paths - paths that will never converge again. I am happy that, despite the tears and hard times, Ruka and Hotaru still find a way to be with each other. Maybe at first, it was only for the sake of their daughter (in case the character is a she) but through the help of the character you've created, that gap was bridged.

Your writing was so resonant with emotion, and there is this word again: beautiful. The use of highfalutin - although they were only a few; otherwise the story's aura was perfectly familiar - gave me, at least, with the impression that the character was her own self, and, despite the problems she is currently facing, incredibly mature. Silent tears are part of a teenager's (I'm guessing she was a teenager) life, but what made her special was that she cried for a family she truly loves - not for guys who constantly trample her heart.

The summary was perfect, and very much emotional in itself. The ending was, too. And although there was this angsty atmosphere at the first half, the ending was brilliant and, as it was open-ended, gave us hope that things are to be fixed, once and for all.

A unique HotaRuka fic told in an OWN character's perspective. I couldn't have asked for a better one. :)

Thank you for a wonderful read. I am not sure if you have left FFn for good (and I'm hoping you aren't, as it is only now that I have come across your genius) but I do hope you keep on writing. A talent like yours is incredibly rare.

touching! Know what, I belive there is NOTHING known as unconditional love, but unconditional love itself is UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTENCE!no matter under what circumstances you accept your soul mate the way he is! lovely!

Doesn't matter - anyone can get a little out of character, even the Ice Queen herself. I loved this fic.

I really loved this one, especially since I could really relate to it. It's great that you got your emotions out, and I hope you feel much better now! :)

... Wow.
