I just found this story and really like it. I was very interested in the direction you are going with Dagger. I was disappointed in the lack of ending though, could you please continue it?

;_; you aren't going to update, are you? no! This is the best story ever! WHY? WHY must Zidane and Garnet suffer? Why must i suffer from the fact that you havent updated in a year?!?!?!?! ARGH!

Oh boy. Trouble, trouble, trouble...

That was one great fight scence!

Keep it up!

I finally finished reading what you have so far! I have to say, out of all the FFIX fics I've read so far, yours is the best. I love the way you depicted Garnet's feelings and pain after Zidane had left. It really drew me in, though I have to admit, I was a bit worried that.. darn, I've already forgotten his name.. x.x; Arborn? You know who I mean.. anyways, I was afraid that she would fall in love with him. But I'm glad Zidane came back into play. Very beautifully written! I can't wait until your next chapter! ^.^ Keep up the great work!

hey good start to a story! i'm gonna read the rest soon dont worry ^_^. and thnx for the review for When Day Turns Into Night...and ya, i was previously known as Strider Evenstar and I had a FF9 high school fic called "All You Wanted" i recognize ur name i think u reviewed it. i took it down cuz i was finished with it and it was old and no one was reading it anymore ya know? well anyways, i read the rest of ur story soon but i can't at the moment. c ya l8er!

Normally, I wouldn't review until I had finished reading the other chapters, but seeing as the bell for the next class is about to ring, I feel I have to. I want to add it to my favs! ^.^ I love FFIX the best! And this fanfic OWNS! Good job!

lol great story so far, you've done a bang up job and i congradulate you! ::gives you hard pat on the back:: im gonna go on the nxt chappy now, i'm sure it'll be great! ^_^

oh and by the way "XD" means/is: laughing really hard. Like, ever watch southpark? their faces tend to look like this most of the time, when they're laughing, angry or something like that. but yea, it's a laughing face thingy. dont ask me, who made it up. ::shrugs::

*crying* I want more soon you hear. And I know what you mean one story getting more reviews than the other Such as my Incarnation story is getting reviews way slower than ny Country music one. WHAT IS WITH THESE PEOPLE CAN YOU TELL ME?
Anyway plz update soon. THE SUSPENCE IS KILLING ME!

Wahkz. Poor Garnet! She's is so stressed out! :'( Zidane and Garnet are drifting futher apart whereas Arbon and Garnet are getting closer. Sheesh. A complicated love-triangle. :] Does Arbon like Garnet [as in more that a friend]? I wanna noe more about Arbon! Hehe!

The story has a rather dark aura surrounding it, eh? *looks up* So THAT'S why u put it in the angst section. Aniwaez, it was a great chappie! It kinda pulls you in and you just wanna read more and more. Addictive! :P Once again, good work!!

-lollie :D

Grammatically and rhetorically, your story shines. The writing is carefully done, intricate, and keeps the interest of the reader. Unfortunately I don't believe your plot is on par with your writing quality. A few things that I thought could use improvement were
1) A reason Garnet wants to pursue power, and Garlands reason for wanting to use Garnet. Both are not addressed profusely besides the occasional "she wants to bring vivi back," sort of thing. I think that if Garland is training her to disregard emotion, we should know why.
2) I'm aware you have not played the game, however it seems to me that you know quite a bit about it. You should know that in Garnet's view, while both Zidane and Vivi are important, Zidane far outweighs in this aspect. I'm a bit confused as to why you emphasis Garnet's love for Vivi throughout the story. In earlier sections, before we realize that Zidane is alive, you would sometime shooaway Zidane through Garnet's thoughts and instead have her focus on Vivi. Maybe a Vivi-Garnet romance type thing was something you thought would be constructive to the passage but I disagree.
3) The two chapters about Zidane's return are detrimental. You don't compound on the love between Garnet and Zidane, and overall it seems like a diversion from the previous ten chapters of training under Garland. Even more annoying is that you construct Zidane as an angry person, typically using words such as "fuming" or "furiously" to describe a character who throughout the game usually kept his head. Additionally he is described as a patriarchist of sorts, someone who doesn't ever believe that Garnet can defend herself, which is strange considering in the game she has large offensive value. I think that the Garland-Anrdon-Garnet plot has huge promise, and the break in the middle was sort of like "what happened." You don't explain in detail how Zidane got out alive, and Dagger's reaction and subsequent actions seem to in some ways reject Zidane.
4) I also wondered why Garnet was nearly defeated by Bonneville. I would think that someone who had just spent weeks training with weights, and could jump thirty feet high, could take down a noble who had never seen a fight in his life and merely relied on self-defense techniques.
5) I think the future of this story is somewhat promising. You should develop the Garland training plot more. Now that Garnet evidently regards Garland's training more than Zidane, what is the ulterior motive for her work? Why is she not able to use magic? Who is Anrdon (or whatever, the Zidane look-alike)? While I would've taken out the whole brief Zidane intermission, if you are reluctant to do so, you should find a good way to merge the two plotlines together. The story already has indications, for example Alexandrains are scouring the mist continent, perhaps leading to a head on fight between Garland and Alexandria?

*Throws confetty at you* Man this was aweome. Great chapter as always. You said you can't figure out where to put the Arbron killing, How about when Zidane and everyone finally comes to rescue her. And Beatrix or Steiner reconise him somehow from that day he got killed.
I also had another idea for you. Say if Vivi was revivied(I would love it if he was). That he would be reawoken as a regular human being. Because I don't like the idea of Eiko being without her love.
So Keep up the good work. And hop e to hear from you soon

yup, you did.
although, when the scene changes it isn't really that clear. it's just another paragraph. is it sposed to be like that or was there something inbetween them before?

I absolutly love your story, This chapter wasn't as bad as you think I liked the way you made Eiko explain how she felt about Vivi and what he did for her,I love the conficts between Eiko and Dagger it's so Interesting...So I don't write a whole report I'll sum it All up by saying THIS STORY IS GREAT! keep up the good work! ^^

It did NOT suck! It was Great! I feel really sorry for Eiko, and Dagger an d just everyone except Garlend. BTW, IS Arbron becoming more mfond of Dagger, I wonder how Zidane will raatc to him? Keep up the great work.
