sandsneweyes 2008-05-09 ch 1, anon.	abusegreat done! I found it very interessting. XD
Kerttu 2005-10-25 ch 1,	abuseThis story gave me the main push to write my own 'what if'-plot, the AU of Mentality series where El DOES find Sands before the pretty brown eyes are destroyed. I cannot recall why I didn't review back then. Most likely felt too awed to pipe up and thus... But your takes are wonderful. Really-really wonderful. hugs Rebecca
2005-02-13 ch 1, anon.	abuseI really like all this. They all seem very plausible! I love this story and am putting it in my favorites! You are still my favorite fanfiction authoress!
Kate Swynford 2004-03-18 ch 1,	abuseWhat if, indeed. The idea of the last one is so poignant. Don't we all wish it happened like that? Though I'm not really sure what would have followed. Have you ever thought about writing a sequel, a sort of AU? Miss Becky, you are the best.
DemonButtercup 2003-12-11 ch 1,	abusegood ideas! i liked it, but i was pretty shocked at the idea of el killing sands at the plaza. in front of chiclet as well! i just cant imagine el ever killing sands.
l-dhenson 2003-12-09 ch 1,	abuseWhat I like so much about this one is the utter believability of each scenario, varied as they are. With just a few words, you bring each scenario to vivd, if short, life. My favorite is the one where El turns down Sands' offer...I was shocked when Sands shot him, but in retrospect it's so very Sands.
ElvenPirate41 2003-11-20 ch 1,	abuseholy fork this was awesome. i love what if scenarios. the rewrites were amazing. ~ep41
Lunatic 2003-11-20 ch 1,	abuseyou sneak! posting something without telling :P but it was very good. I like the repeat from 'Sometimes El sits under the stars, and he wonders' and the different options you gave. All things very believable and you almost wish that the last one came true :)
Ju 2003-11-19 ch 1, anon.	abuseThis rather broke my heart. I love the possibility you've explored. I think this fits your trilogy verse brilliantly, it's exactly the things El would think. And you've told us that possibly Sands could have kept his eyes! It makes me think of something Sands said though about how if Sands HAD had his eyes, they would never have got as close as they are. But maybe they could...ai. I don't know. I think that's what I like about this so much. It's not exactly regret though, which is nice. Just...wistful. Lovely.
Starzangel 2003-11-18 ch 1,	abuseGreat! An interesting and original idea for a fic. And one senario would have saved those gorgeous dark-brown eyes! But then we wouldn't of had the enjoyment of the blind Sands overcoming the odds and showing a hint of kindness towards the boy. Hmm... Ah well, "what if"s sadly can't change anything anyway.
Gloria Mundi 2003-11-16 ch 1, anon.	abuseYou keep doing this ... you get so inside the story, bring it to such vibrant life, that now I'm sitting here feeling ridiculously weepy because El never had the chance to save Sands, like in your final scenario. Although, having said that, I can't imagine Sands being grateful for very long. It might not even be in his emotional vocabulary. Still hopelessly addicted to 'Que Quieres En La Vida', even though I have been too busy (or too rude) to write and tell you so!
Fuzipenguin 2003-11-16 ch 1, anon.	abuseTruly. What if. I think someone else already mentioned it, but I loved the balance in this story - El kills Sands, Sands kills El, they both live and work together, etc. So much in this movie depends upon the interaction between these two characters. When you think about it, the movie centered much more on El than Sands but Sands is just as, if not more important. Of course I love Sands to pieces and think he should have his own movie, so what do I know? :)
Rat 2003-11-15 ch 1,	abuseWow. as usual... wow.
Halia 2003-11-15 ch 1,	abuseOMG...wow...that made me cry. The second bit especially. Poor Sands. But I loved the way you did the third one as well (somewhat happy ending!). And the first one was also realistic, lol. I'll bet Sands really would have killed him. BEAUTIFUL job, Rebecca, you never cease to amaze me. You're wonderful. Keep up the great work!
sky vehicle 2003-11-15 ch 1,	abuse//El closed his eyes, and died.// Such a simple line, nothing fancy. He just...dies. No one else I know writes death like this. Everyone else just has to add some sort of flourish, like seeing a light, of hteir life flashing before them. But in true life, that isn't death. Death is nothing dramatic or appealing. It just is...death, plain and simple. Very sad about El dying in this 'what if,' but I loved how you write it. The harsh truth that El will probably just go out wtih a bang and a whimper, nothing more. Hardly anyone does. I loved this fic, examining the possibilities. I would always wonder "what if this happened, what if he did this, what if he didn't do this, etc." You actually penned down some of these what-if's, and I really appreciate that. Not to mention you wrote this extremely well, but then again look who I'm talking to. Of course your writing's going to be amazing. Love it. -gyps
