Really well done, this.
I wouldn't have noticed most of the weaker or potentially problematic areas of the work as a whole if hadn't gone about pointing them out in the A/N's XL The incredibly appropriate ending rather overshadows little things like that.

Ah. That A/N explains a lot of plot holes XP

Wonderful job so far!

Wow, just, wow. This is amazing! Is there a sequel? If not, there definitely should be one! You've got yourself a new follower.

goodwork

Wow. This was a really FUN read. I enjoyed every aspect of this story. The writing style was very good, the basic premise sound, the execution wonderful, the plot well rounded, the characters written impeccably! I was very impressed with this piece of work. I love how Lancer didn't come right out and figure it out like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I like how he had to piece it together like a puzzle, not seeing the answer for what it was without logic based problem solving. Mr. Lancer was very endearing in this portrayal, he had a good moral compass at the beginning and held onto that for the longest time. I don't blame him, personally, for finally opening the sketchbook.
I really enjoyed Kat, she was a fun character to have Lancer interact with. Though, I do wonder why she calls him Lancer instead of his first name, or are you using Lancer as his first name? Oh, and what happened to the Saturday brunch date with the Fentons? That was never even mentioned, let alone written.
I think my favorite part about this story is that Mr. Lancer himself does not inform Danny that he knows the secret. I would very much like to read a sequel and see how Lancer handles this knowledge. I would say more, but I can't remember everything I wanted to say about this wonderful piece of work seeing as how I read it all in one shot. I would have reviewed as I read, but I didn't want to stop reading just to type it out. Thank you very much for this, I am glad to have found it. I would check your profile for more stories, but I am kind of on a Lancer kick right now and want to read stories about him, so if you have any other Lancer stories I will find it in due course. I do hope you do, you are an excellent writer I would enjoy more of your work.

Nice work fantasy93 wasn't kidding when she said this was a good story

Much loved!

OMG! i loooooove this story! i can't believe this hasn't been made into a movie or something! :D

Though I must admit I never took Danny for the sketching type, I must say that I really like this story. It shows a side of Mr. Lancer that we never saw in the show, though I wouldn't say he is OOC - we're just seeing him in a new way. And I absolutely loved the "sword" metaphor - it sounds like something Danny would do. All in all, thanks for the great story!

Though it still disturbs me that Mr. Lancer and I apparently have very similar tastes in books . . . O_o

One of the best fanfics I've read. I just wished it didn't end!

ohhh the truth comes out! *giggle* or will it? I shall see!

This is good writing. I mean, most of the fanfics I read have the basics down, but this actually has some legitimate suspense and character development. I love how you shifted Lancer from the original oblivious teacher to concerned adult. Very nice.

I only recently started and finished watching Danny Phantom, and I'm so glad I did because it meant that when I came to to satisfy my longing for more DP I was able to read this. There are spelling and grammar mistakes here and there but I don't care because the plot is good and the characterisation is perfect. I especially adore that you've included Lancer's brand of swearing with book titles... thank you so much for that!

Just finished reading this. You. Are. BRILLIANT!

Yeah, I know this is years after this was posted, but I just discovered it and wanted to say that... WOW this is amazing.

Danny's creative writing assignment put me in mind of one of the knights of the sword from the Dresden Files in a metaphorical kind of way. You do good work!
