 Sailor Nibaru 2009-06-25 . chapter 9Another good story, and yay, it was longer =D I have to say, I kind of miss the original style of writing, short, to-the-point, a little rushed but whatever, that was in "A Small Possibility"... but this is good too! Damn, Drakken's dead? Gonna miss him =/ And I hope there's more of Kasy Ann and Sheki Go in the next one! Good job again =D. |
 Alexander - Godslayer 2007-05-24 . chapter 9Finally I finished reading this, which I think it is your longer work so far, so I'll make sure to make this one your longest review ^_^
For starting, I must mention that I was kinda surprised for the darker tone of this fic compared to its prequels, and the including of death for some characters really got me worried about what could happen next. For a moment, I must admit, I really though that Monique and/or Rufus were going to die, as I supose you made us want to think. Also, the whole drama in the last chapter was truly heartbreaking, not to mention full of surprises.
As far as I love drama and dark themes, it bugged me a bit to find this in the Small Possibilites series which, 'til now, had a much lighter tone with fluffy scenes, humor and some sexual innuendo now and then as the only "adult level" material. I'm not critizing your decisions, after all, this is your fic, I'm just giving my opinion.
One thing I must for sure mention about this fic is the "surprise" (if it can be called like that, it's rather... controvertial) of the fact that the main character is Ron instead of Kim and Shego, even if the fic started with these later two as every other episode started. While Kim and Shego had their part, Ron was the one to face the main antagonist Noir Goable, defeat him, grow up from the experience and finally getting married in a very unexpected way. So far, Ron has become a very mature character in your fic.
Well, yeah. The outcome of Ron's romantic story was truly surprising. For a moment I thought that you were going to break the Ron/Monique pairing you had been developing so far and that I've come to like, and that it would turn into Ron/Yori, another pairing that I like but not if it means breaking one that I liked so far (Am I sounding too contradictory?). While I found it hard to believe that Ron had sleep with Yori while Monique was in the hospital (Sorry, but I sense some serious OOC here), I think I understand that you felt like you needed that so that things might turn out the way you wanted. I really never expected something as polygamy (Cultural and regional thing, you know), but it really turned out to be a nice decision, specially with the scene between Yori and Monique that you did near the end ^_^
I'd wish Kim and Shego would have had some more rol, but I think I should have guessed from the tittle that this wasn't going to be the case. Oh, well. I'll keep the hopes for the next time. At least I saw some development of Kasy and Sheki, both turning out to be mostly like I expected. Damn, I love these twins ^o^
Another thing I can't help but to mention is that I feel that, at the end, you were kind of lazy by using the "some time later" excuse to show us how things turned out, but avoiding to explain HOW. And man, I SO wanted to see Kim's reaction to the revelation about the romantic trio XD
Well, now focusing on the plot. It was surely interesting, charged with mystery, like the creation of the Supreme Evil One, and surprises, like Ron appearing in front of Noir instead of Kim and Shego, as -AGAIN- you clearly tried to make us readers believe.
About the Supreme Evil One, I must admit that at first I thought it was going to be a clone of either Kim and Shego, or both, but once again, I should have taken the tittle more seriously. The character was really evil and even scary at some point. I really loved the battle between Ron and Noir (It SO deserves a fanart!!). I felt kind of dissapointed that he died so "easily" (I mean, it was his very first battle!) but then again, with the Ron Mark 3 around, things might turn out quite interesting. OH! I almost forgot: Suffer rocks!! XD
What will come out of the new marriage now, I wonder. New sons and daughters? Some... possible future shipping for Kasy and/or Sheki? XD
Oh well. Time and you will tell ^_^
I really liked the fic, and I hope that the Small Possibilites series might go on as long as possible ^_^
I hope you liked the review.
Thanks for writting this fic, and see you around in the forum!!
PD: Why isn't this fic cataloged as Complete yet, uh? |
