Oh god you had me going for a while there, I was bawling my eyes out... It was so good though. I was so happy Luffy wasn't dead. Really great read. Loved it.

this was a GREAT story. really sweet and heartwarming!

I really love this story... definitely one of my favorites in this fandom. I'm a sucker for angsty stories with a happy ending :) Also, as I've been getting a bit fed up with all the fics pairing everyone up, it's a refreshing and welcome change to find a fic just focusing on the group's friendship as a whole. I enjoyed your characterizations, and everyone's interactions. Completely believable. I could totally see this happening in the manga itself, without breaking continuity at all :D

This story is excellent!
I really like reading a very good OP fanfic that has angst and fun all together in one - finished - story.
The first couple of chapters I could not stop reading. The way you potrayed all the emotions and the scenery was enticing and captivating. And to finally read that he is alright was such a relief that I still have that goofy smile on my lips despite the random or recurring and unbelieving luck of his to survive almost everything.
All in all this story is awesome! Goes to my favorites.
Greetings,
J-D

Wow. That's really all I can say about this story. IT's amazing. Absolutely incredible! I've heard that your stories are good, but this was better then good. This was fantastic!

I look forward to reading your other ones now! But for the moment, favorited!

What can I say... this was simply perfect. In-character to a flaw, enthralling, with good writing and very deep insight into the characters, even if you didn't really dwell on what they were feeling. Their actions speak for themselves. :)

hehehehe cool! im really glad that you ended the story happily! ^^ right now im reading a really depressing One Piece fic o-o i hope that one ends up happy too T-T but one of my favorite characters freaking DIED! Because of my second favorite character! ; ; so! ^^ thanks again for not making the angstness last! :D:D i found the whole thing rather cool :O ja ne!

great story you rock ^^

Wow. This story is absolutely amazing and I was unable to do anything until I finished it. I think this would have been a great filler arc, and it is just so beautifully written!! It's one of the best stories I've ever read, and I like how you showed everyone's reactions to dealing with Luffy's death. Maybe the best part of all was how Luffy was just sitting on an island watching over the eggs of sea turtles. You really capture how important and amazing Luffy is, because if he weren't around, his crew would not be the same. 'Course, that's the same for all of them, but without any Luffy, there is no Mugiwara crew.

Since joining recently, I've had to catch up on all you've written. This is the second story I've read and I have to say- You are good!
The stories are detailed but not too drawn out and utterly interesting. If my brain were functioning more properly right now, I would have so much to say about this story. But to be simple I'll just say KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! :)
Oh, and even though I knew Luffy would make it, as I read I couldn't help feeling so sad that I wanted to cry. And I normally don't get emotional over stuff like this. Maybe it's because Luffy is my favorite character or maybe because I couldn't imagine what it would be like for his crew to lose him. Losing family... anywho...

XP Holy fuck, I'm in love with all of your One Piece stories.

hi there
i really liked this story
but it was wierd it kinda felt like there was somethin goin on between zoro and luffy (and gay things irritate me) but there was also a wierd nami and luffy thing goin on (which made the zo/lu thing kind of go away)
anyway all in all it was good

i cant describe how wonderful it is...^^..

You know what I hate about fanfics like these? Two things, actually.

1, I really, really, really need to be doing something important right now and instead I'm reading this,and any second now I'm going to look at the clock and scream.

2, They end. I mean, I know they have to end, and the ending is lovely, but it was so GOOD and now it's all OVER and-

My two cents are finished. It was lovely. Thanks.

(Usually I do try to have some sort of constructive SOMETHING in my critiques, but this story was so delicious all I can do is the starry-eyed fangirl bit. My sincere apologies. You rock.)

Hi. I can't rember if I've reiewed this before. If I haven't I should have but I'm feeling down and rereading some of my bookmarked stories but I just had to tell you how hard the line "familiar with all the different shades of hope" hits me right in the gut. I love your stuff.
