Wow... such interesting story from Allen's point of view... I've often wondered if he had bad parents growing up...

Absolutely riveting! Sometimes, "less is more" and even though this fic didn't have blood, or gore, or a huge amount of violence (which is too melodramatic for me) Allen's turbulent *thoughts* and *feelings* were enough to create an ambiance of violence, however supressed...truly remarkable, I LOVED it!...I'm so envious: you can write the Esca male characters so well, seemingly effortlessly...while I labor, and labor and phah! No results. But yeah, write more of these wonderful one-shots, eh?

That was a really good version of Allen. It was like it was the real Allen Shizare telling his feelings you have really described him really really really well_
