Awww! It's rare you see this kind of scene with the warden ridiculing Alistair, but you've rendered it perfectly here. Poor Alistair! And mean, mean Ella!

Ah, things sometimes don't go the fluffy way. Sometimes, cynicism is just cynicism. A truly realistic take on the events.

I'll admit that I was hesitant to read this at first (not an Alistair fangirl), but I found it very refreshing and original. And a little melancholy too. Poor Alistair. But on the other hand this might do him good ;-)

I already told you how I love this story. My heart broke for poor Alistair... nothing hurts more than when the person we love ridicules it. I want to hug him and tell him not to give up his kindness for one shrew.

Great job, Dawn! I hope you'll keep writing. :)

Excellent take on a situation usually described more... shall we say... rosy? ;D

Ow. Just ow. Not only turned down but thoroughly humiliated! It seems to have been the kick he needed though - I like the little sliver of hope at the end.

Congratulations on your first fic :)

OH! oh you evil cousland you! you didn't like alistair's greatest speech EVAR!? ::dies::

that was truly cruel and wicked, dawn. i really felt for poor alistair. and just... crushed. it's... just ow.

well done!
