Kyubak 2007-01-12 ch 1, anon.	abuseHell, that was great! I really liked it, especially how were the song bits inserted, now if I knew the song... Have fun writting!
Kytt 2007-01-11 ch 1, anon.	abusewonderful again! so moving. i especially like the tidbit at the end about the fossil, which fits well with "sand and stone and a million years." I've been playing around with the idea of writing a BG2 fanfic myself, but after reading WMTM and the rest of your stories, I don't think I could possibly improve on your characterizations. Maybe i'll just move along to Icewind Dale 2. heh heh... keep up the good work! :)
Ztin 2007-01-04 ch 1, anon.	abuseseriously, my eyes hurt from holding back the tears... and i mean that in the manliest way possible. it's a great concept you've written. it's not a fairy tale, where there's romance, but it definetly rings a lesson in life and how people move on. good stuff.
naradrith 2007-01-04 ch 1,	abuseA very nice story. I like Jaheira and I like her romance. Not as a romance, but a a friendship. In fact with little modifications, the Jaheira romance is a good story of friendship. Back to your story: it's well written (as usual with you) and very credible. Jaheira has her "little man" and her memory, its enough for her. That's why I don't find the ending sad.
Bifflechips 2007-01-04 ch 1,	abuseAn excellently written story. The idea of the child is really good, and makes it that much more heartbreaking that she sees Khalid in him. And despite your warning, this story doesn't really leave me sad or depressed. There's the faint glimmer of hope for Jaheira in Khalain. It ends kind of uplifting actually. Good job!
Suicide Minion 2007-01-03 ch 1, anon.	abuseThat was a beautiful story. I agree that Jaheira romance seemed a bit odd giving how early it starts, but giving its length, I suppose they had no choice, all about the game mechanics. Still, while the speed with which Jaheira moves on from Khalid in the game is not very credible, I would find it even more incredible if she would spend the rest of her life (probably well over 100 of her h-elven years)in misery and longing. She's a very strong person who would want to move on with her life and heal her wounds. And let's face it, people fall in love all the time (well, not on daily basis, lol), so I'm sure it'd happen to her plenty of times after Khalid. However, I think the key to make this story work was to bring the child into it. That was a great idea - this way I can believe how she doesn't want to look for anyone else when she has the child to give her love to. And I think she might become genuinely happy with this arrangement, as it is. So it's not a depressing story as such. :)
Capt. Incredible 2007-01-03 ch 1,	abuseAww...sniff both awesome and sad at the same time. Like you, I always held the Jaheira romance above the others, but again like you said... weirdness as far as timeline goes. This is a wonderful post-TOB scenario fic, that blends the right amount of tragedy but not so much to leave you depressed. I like. sniff
BloodHeron 2007-01-03 ch 1,	abuseBeautiful, absolutely masterful. A marvelously touching and heart-warming read. You have great skill with imagery and the emotional aspect of the story. I greatly enjoyed reading it(and nearly needed a kleenex because it was poignant enough to nearly make me cry) and may just have to come back and read this again:)
Tasharene 2007-01-03 ch 1,	abuseIt's a wonderfully written story... The emotions are heartbreakingly well portrayed, so real that they made me cry. No happy ending here, yes, but it only makes the story unforgettable. Life is not a fairy tale, after all, but one can live after losing the love of their life - remembering, loving and enjoying the past.
