Hey, this actually isn't a bad premise. I like where you're going with this... and I like the way you portrayed Taka/Scar in this story. He seems IC, but one thing I just wanted to point out is you've got some typos in your work. I've caught a few, but it's only a minor thing compared to everything else. Good job. I was kind of looking forward to what was going to happen. I usually am not too crazy about the whole ScarxSarafina pairing, but this one is particularly good. :)

Another great chapter :)

Please put up chapter 9 soon and hurry

Since quite a bit happened in this chapter, primarily dramatic action, I'm wondering where this fits into the greater part of the story. I'm also wondering if the fic's title is still coming into play. Could Scar still, in a sense, be avoiding Sarafina by avoiding true emotional attachment with (not just to) her? It's an interesting thought. His jealousy certainly denotes a desire for her, though now one must wonder if his feelings were ever true love and then if they still are. I feel so sorry for Sarafina, who seems so denied a truly happy ending. (These are all questions I'm posing to help you and as fun for myself.)

I'd like to suggest that the characters not speak so formally to each other. For example, Mufasa referred to Sarafina as a dear friend then proceeded to speak almost formally. Nero's use of the formal Ms. for Sarabi is a very human form of formality rather than lion. There were times Mufasa came off as rather stiff, such as by saying, "Hello. Welcome to Pride Rock." There's no emotion or warmth there; instead, it's rather mechanical.

Good luck on your next chapter, and don't feel the need to rush it at all :) The best chapter you can put out should be your concern. See you next chapter!

Great new chapter.

The drama is something else! I love the Sarafina/Taka pairing too, but things always go so horribly for poor Sara. I like the way you're portraying all of the lions and lioness, along with not ignoring other members of the pride. I did notice one part where Taka had described Sarafina as having become a beautiful woman rather than lioness (earlier chapter, when they were talking in the cave). I also got tears in my eyes when I read how those hyenas dug up her still-born child. Her poor dead cub really pulls at my heart strings. I hope that somehow, things still work out between Sarafina and Taka. There is still Nala, after all.

Thanks for the story! I'll be checking in for the next one.

Another great chapter :)

Another great chapter and good luck in school.

Yikes!
