It's a pity that this charming story has so few reviews. I really enjoyed the fact that eternal "Ice Queen" Quistis had her cold heart (which I have never understood in fanfics--just b/c she ended up with nobody in the game ending doesn't mean she is cold. GRR!) melted by a simple, caring conversation with a loyal friend.
And I really enjoyed the fairy-tale elements. Nice way to capture the innocence and love between the characters.

Insightful, perfect characterization, and nicely subtle as well. ZellQuistis isn't my favorite pairing, but this is probably the best I've seen. Really endearing.
