You write a fantastic story. This is all your own. We know of Mulan and Philip and Aurora and Hook but this is your own and it is wonderful. Different, creative, moving, heartbreaking. Excellent writing.

Brilliant story. Really really well written!

I loved this. Incredibly well done, as always. :)

One of the best OUAT fanfics that i have seen so far. Not only you are focusing on characters that mostly dont but you make me remind a lot of details about the Sleeping Beuty: That she lived in a forest before living in the kingdoom and so she must knew a thing or two about it (Not as snow white, since she lived with 3 faeries but still... she is not just a princess raised in a palace) and the spinning wheel! how did i forget about that!? shame on me.

Also i really like that you bring malificent back and show us something about her past, love how royalty she seems, how cold and elegant. Truly a queen (a evil queen parhaps but a queen no less) the conversation with Aurora are so calm and yet so filled of danger and tension. The Burning room almost at the end and in the memories of Aurora is perfect, is a hell and a nightmare that i can imagine Aurora suffering for 28 years, feeling the pain just to wake up, only that she is not and being all over again in the burning room. Uuurr
The end was pretty awasome too, i like how she face all her demons and win the battle.
please keep writing D

woah, what an enriching tale you've spun here! this was friggin' amazingly brilliant. it's loaded with rich details, with a full adorable and generous backstory, bounded together with thoroughly well developed characters that have so much dynamic. like I love each and every character included here, and I wish they were executed more efficiently on the show because they definitely have potential...but well aurora, phillip, hook, mulan, and maleficent are mostly plot devices on there (—and "pale" in comparison to the charmings and their problems—) so it sort of sucks. the way you've portrayed all these characters here, though, are just goddamn flawless, fitting in with the story perfectly.

also the storyline and plot and the relationships were excessively well developed and enjoyable. they were great; namely, malificent's and aurora's relationship. & aurora's journey was quite believable as well.
overall, this was a magnificent masterpiece!

i can tell you put a lot of thought into this. i liked the relationship between aurora and maleficent especially, there was a lot of good switch-arounds and it generally just made their characters more involved and sympathetic. everything came together in a way that was very satisfying and complete. and your MULAN! just spot on, i could really feel all of her pain and her bravery in a way that echoes the show quite nicely. phillip, too, was just wonderfully sexy and so so appealing to read. great work.

Absolutely fantastic.
