I loved this thank you^^

p.s. I also really can't bring myself to care about Granet really so don't feel to bad...

I love Fraya, Zidane and Amarant(and Kuja) it's really great how you've managed to get them all in the plot without someone being to much on the sideline(did that make sense?0_o)

thank you

Great fic! Had be on edge from beginning to end. I usually don't go for stories where a main character dies, but this one got me hooked early on. Zidane's letter made me laugh hysterically at his life lessons. They all sound like things he might say or pass on a words of wisdom. Especially the one about doing three things at one in public with a tail.

hello there i know this story is very old by now but i still felt the need to write somenthing here
i must admit that i haven't drop a single tear of sadness in years until now 2009, i love the story i love zidane (as far you can love a fictional character) and in some way i feel connected to him, damn is like you read my mind when zidane write that last letter anyway i enjoy your story as i enjoy the other ones you writte.
sincerely : the royal court jester (a strange name for a guy that's being depresed or angry 80% of the time)

And as a cascade of tears roll down Laura's face she puts her hands to the keyboard to write a review after a long night of reading...

*sniff* GAH I HATE YOU! *sniff* I can't even right a review right now I'm so sad. ugh but this fic was so good and I honestly can't say why I never read it before. I've admittedly seen it just chilling in the 'my stories' section of your profile... but I just never interested enough to read it. *sniff*

congratulations you're officially on my fav authors list it's official I can't just read this fic and not put you there it would be unholy or something. I haven't read a fic that got me this absorbed in so long. I should end my rambling now... GAH! I hate you so much. >.

i wasn't gonna review til i was done, but I had to say that Zidane's proposal was absolutely adorable. and I want Crackers.

anyways back to reading.

Seriously. Seriously right now. I hate it when people say this in fics - partly because I can't undertsand it and partly because I SWEAR they're lying - but I was crying so hard over the last few chapters I actually had to pause in reading because i couldn't see the screen. I've never thought myself as a 'cry-baby' (when i do I usually make the usual girl excuses, if you know what I mean) but this fic was so goddamn SAD.

There's no point in me listing off the tear-jerker moments because I think they all were. And what's funny is that during Zidane's final letter you had me laughing AND crying (I think I'll take on board some of those 'pearls of wisdom'. Carry lube, indeed.).

I'm glad he spent his last moments with freya, and I adored your portrayal of Amarant. Everyone stayed in character so well. I especially think Zid would have run away, in the end.

Zidane and Garnet's relationship ending was truly heart breaking; Zidane's always so selfless.

Anyway, I'm not sure I can ever read this fic again because it's so heartbreaking and makes me ponder on awful things like the fleetingness of life, but I DID enjoy it in a peverse way (like I do with all your fics) and I'll be eagerly awaiting updates to the prequel. :-)

Wow this story is amazing! Depressing indeed, but the ending was also peaceful, full of wisdom...I can't really find the exact word to explain it. It is really beautifully written! Thanks!

Yet another well done story. I like how you portrayed Zidane's changing character, as people DO change over time, not like most of the stories posted up here.

Well written.

P.S: It IS possible to suck your own d1ck :P

Damn you! You always make me cry whenever I read your stuff. I feel heartbroken by the way you describe Zidane's suffocation in the castle. Sadly enough, that's probably how he would be living if you thought about it realistically. He's too much of a free spirit to be able to be happy just existing in that place and not be doing anything.

And yes, I can tell that you don't give a rat's ass about Garnet. Haha... I thought it was odd that she was absent for so much of the time when she was a huge reason reason why Zidane was living so miserably. But the parts where she WAS present, I liked the way you wrote her.

Another great piece by you. I look forward to more.

THANK GOD I am not the only person on Earth who would, if given the chance, gladly give Garnet a kick in her too-tight overalls and not think twice about it. I just can't like her character, no matter how hard I try.

You do Zidane very well, and from what I see of the others, they're very good too. My only regret is that there wasn't more Steiner, because there should always be more Steiner in the world. Mostly, though, you took Zidane + drama and didn't make it horribly out of character and unpleasant to read. For that alone I award you the Medal of Happy Fun Time Cookies.

Drop me a line if you'd like. I enjoy your writing.

*sniff*

Sheesh, I look away for a few chapter, and LOOK WHAT YOU DO! Just kidding- very well done. And depressing. Funny how those two work.

A tantalus fic would be very nifty. But after that- you're sure there's no other characters that tickle your fancy enough to spend a fic on? Hell, just the adventures of Puck in Dwarf Town would be interesting ("Rally ho!" "What the fuck, man?")

Hmmn. Disregard that. Anywhoo- you're very talented, and you can really communicate these characters, disintrest in Dagger notwithstanding. Looking muchly forwards to all new projects. ^__^

Brilliant! Yet another master piece!

That was an interesting way to end this story. Zidane's letter was full of funny facts about life, although some of them I could hardly believe he had the gall to write down. I liked the one about scratching your ass in public though.
It's a pity this good story had to come to an end. Oh well. I hope you write some more (why not move onto Freya?) and I look forward to seeing your future works.

I noticed a few minor things wrong with this chapter. First, Freya's eyes are green and not blue. Second, you missed out some capital letters in the sentences where Zidane was uttering his last sets of words.
That was a pretty sad chapter. So Zidane finally passed away in Freya's house. The flag idea was pretty clever though.
Puck seems the same as ever, running off his mouth with various curses. I like how he spat back at Uthor's censorship. Freya acted pretty weird though, where did she go? I suppose she would act a little odd after a friend's death, but I wasn't expecting that.
Good stuff though, onto the next chapter.

That was an interesting conversation with Amarant, who seems the same as ever. It seems that the secret of Zidane's impending death is not being kept as secret as Zidane would have liked.
I'm glad to see that Freya is trying to save Zidane, and that Zidane is paying her a visit. Did Freya find him in the mud?
You've really updated quickly over the past week...I really need to catch up! Moving on...
