wow...very deep and sentimental yet still dangerous. I really like it! I love how you gave it sortof an open ending...anything could happen from there. Great job!

Wow. What an incredible story. It was funny in all the right places,serious in all the right places and a thought provoking end. It was great. You captured all the characters really wel. But one thing. I cant see Ares crying. I was hoping you would get them together at the end though, but it was great nevertheless. Extremely well written:)

Cressid, this is a wonderful story - beautifully written, poignant without being mushy, and captures the characters to perfection. Bravo.

Great fic. Loved it. Makes a nice change from all the sappy smarmy stuff out there.

amazing...totally amazing. You really understand the characters. Loved the way Ares is finally able to face his own demons. Really great stuff, please keep writing!

wow. I'm impressed. A very thorough interpretation, really good job, and all that jazz. You managed the AresConscience and Xenalove without getting too mushy or ridiculous. Good job!

Whoa! Cressid, I LOVED this! The characters are so real, and the feelings are intense. Man, you really got into their heads. Keep on writing, please. This is great stuff!

All I can say is... Wow. Keep writing!
