Big Cat 2007-07-13 ch 4,	abuseNo one could write this drama fic better. No one! Good onya! You made me feel so fulfilled. Marvelous story. Brilliant character knowledge. Excellent situation study! Absolutely genius observations. This is a real Masterpiece with big M. I think you should start writing for profit. When you get published, let me know. Cat
snackfiend101 2005-04-20 ch 4,	abuseAlways knew there was something more with Lady Margalotta than she ever said. And I always knew there was a lot more to Vetinari than he ever let on...sneaky bastard. Loved seeing him young in Night Watch, and you keep the characterization perfect. I particularly liked how he was keeping score through the whole first conversation.
anna 2003-11-12 ch 1, anon.	abusewhat a great start! damn, am i impressed or what? (or vhat...;-)
Hermitcrab 2003-04-23 ch 3, anon.	abuse"We are on to you, mr. Pratchett! Cease and desist your attempts at masquerading as a fan, step out of the door and take your accolades like a man! Yes, what is it? ...Say what!?! Oh. Sorry, carry on, Mister Vimes, so sorry to disturb your genius at work, I'll just go and get me coat... No, no, do keep the accolades, I'm sure you must have tons by now but just shove these into some corner as a token of our appreciation."
Twoflower 2003-03-12 ch 4, anon.	abuseI enjoyed this story very much. A nice insight into twisted minds of Vetinari and Margolotta. Often when I read your fic, I wonder how much of the actual canon backstory you guessed. It will be fun to compare when (if) Pterry chooses to reveal these details. He has just said in an interview that many things fans write are already in his notebooks, because his and fans' minds work similarly, and I couldn't help thinking about your stories at this moment. I like the way you base parts of your plot on little canon hints. For example, V having company on his trip totally stands to reason, because somebody should have brought the gossip to Ankh-Morpork, where in 25y it reached Mrs. Arcanum's dining room. Or "small lessons" which you mentioned yourself. Hope for more of your fiction soon.
ihadanepiphany 2003-03-10 ch 4,	abuseA most satisfying explaination. :)
Dahlia 2003-03-09 ch 4,	abuseThat was a wonderful little story - very enjoyable.
Casira 2003-03-09 ch 1,	abuseOh, I LOVE it. I'd wondered myself what exactly went on during the Grand Sneer, and you handled this with a lot of finesse.
samvimes 2003-03-04 ch 4, anon.	abuseGood evening all :) I'm so glad you folks enjoyed this fic; I enjoyed the challenge of writing it (I've probably already said that). I did try bloody hard to keep Vimes out of the story, and you can see that I /almost/ succeeded. I always assumed, from the way Vetinari reacted to Margolotta's pryings in Fifth Elephant, that they had not spoken in some time, and his mention of "little lessons" meant that they had probably parted on bad terms. I don't know that Vetinari was the love of Margolotta's life, though certainly he was a pivotal figure in it. I think, as Mercator does, that the affair was far more intellectual than anything else. But I do appreciate being called Marvelous :) And that ferret dance! Do you dance like a ferret, or with ferrets, or just as happily as a ferret? I have considered a sequel, I admit, but things are so perfectly /balanced/ sometimes. It's like there's this little set of events that fit perfectly together to form a story that is a complete whole unto itself. Patterns was that way for me, and so was this one. Writing a sequel wouldn't ruin it, exactly, but it wouldn't be as cohesive or coherent as the original. Having said that, I admit to having almost an entire first chapter written. Perhaps in combination with The Patrician's Papers, it could work. :) Thanks again, all. It's always a welcome treat to get my reviews at the end of the day.
Twist 2003-03-04 ch 4, anon.	abuseAlright, I believe I have sufficiently gathered my thoughts about me to submit a review. I'm not sure though, so if I stop making sense ignore it. And yes, it does take a long time for me to gather my thoughts. Stop snickering. This is awesome. I have yet to see a Margo/Havvie fic that captures the both of them perfectly in a little . . . thingy. Dance. Whatever. Characterization! There we go. The supporting actors were Tee-Riff-a-roni as well. And the fact that a person is able to think of them as supporting actors is marvelous. The end was so sad, though! They're not speaking anymore! Poor Havelock. Poor Margolotta. You should write a kiss-and-make-up fic or something. You can't just write that last bit and say "Oh gee, well that's the end. I suppose his Lordship will live out his days wanting to see Lady Margolotta but never doing it and he'll die and she'll be depressed because she never saw her deepest passion again." Unless you were thinking something quite different from I. :) Anyway, it was great, briliant, and every other word I can think of to praise it. And you're prety marvelous yourself. Cheers. :)
Ysabet 2003-03-03 ch 4,	abuseWo. God fic. does Ferret Dance of Joy all over computer room Sequel? Sequel sequel sequel?? Sequel sequel sequel sequel sequel sequel sequel? Please? Lady Margolotta could probably use a vacation about now, to see old friends.
yap 2003-03-03 ch 4, anon.	abuseBrilliant, as alvays. The part about Vetinari gradually losing control is especially well done. Oh, and all the twisted thoughts about thoughts, and how he can be surprised about himself, but immediately puts the discoveries to use.I wonder how many people have tried to get into Vetinari's head and got lost in it. And, a nice wrap-up in the end. No "don't let me detain you", but actually stopping someone at the door and then having to work so much on the conversation, that's a first for his lordship. Vonderful!
Ryulabird 2003-03-02 ch 4,	abuse^__^ Happyhapyhappyhappyhappy! Wonderful end to the story! Absolutely masterful!! Hehe! 'The Patrician's Papers'!! Coming to a forum near you!! Haha! Yes! Well, if I am disappointed by it, I'll keep it to myself! Bit silly to whine about something after all but begging for it, ne? ^_^ 'Course, I've no doubt you will not leave us wanting. I have full confidence that you will once more stun us with a beautifully written character piece. And if you don't, you will have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge that you disappointed hundreds of readers on the net. ^_^ heh! Kidding! Kidding! Heh, anyways, I'm sure you'll do fine. Maybe you could reread 'The Prince' or other wise-saying type 'a things and then try to approach them in the Vetinari way. Remember: "If you would seek war, prepare for war." ^_^ Good luck!
samvimes 2003-03-02 ch 4,	abuse::sighs as he begins chapter four of The Patrician's Papers:: Curse you, Ryula. You're going to be disappointed by it, I know it, but I'm writing the damn thing anyhow. ::grin:: Monique, I'd love to see the fanart if you draw it. I've tried my hand, but building sets is surprisingly not really great practice for drawing fictional characters from books. Ah well. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed! It's awfully nice.
Monique 2003-03-01 ch 4, anon.	abuseIt´s official. I worship you. You´ve made me want to draw young!Havelock/Margolotta fanart. This was great! The dialogue felt so real, and true to the characters, and this is Vetinari, probably the hardest character to write well! bows You rule.
