abuseI'm not normally a fan of Basch/Ashe, but you wrote this so well that it didn't matter. I loved it. Kudos for being able to transition in such a fluid way, that's really tough to do as well, but you pulled it off here flawlessly. Loved it.

abuseI'm terrible at reviewing...but the last line of this story is absolutely perfect. And I loved the part where Ashe forbade him to visit the Sandsea.

abuseWhy does everyone just can't have it when a classic romance is finally possible in a kingdom!? Why did I never ever read a Bashe that ends happily 'even after' XD *Cries* Life is not fair and pencils are cruels, I say!
The fiction was ok. Good I'd say if I wasn't displeased with the outcome.

abuseThat was wonderful. Simple, realistic, sweet, subtle. I liked the very gradual, delicate growth of their relationship. I loved Ashe and the Chocobo. I loved "Archadia's four sons will rise to power. And I along with them." "Dalmasca's daughter will never allow it. And I along with her." And I LOVED the closing line. I hope you do more.

The only thing I would suggest is to separate the different time periods, just to make it a little less confusing in places.

abuseBeautiful. The expanse of time that you lay out so briefly yet so effectively with the use of sentences and pretty descriptions. Wow. You effectively explained Ashe's and Basch's past in maybe 3, 0 characters or more. Amazing.

abuseRuin Impediment is only one of Basch's Quickenings. You could do two more - Flame Purge and Fulminating Darkness - if you wanted. I really like your writing style. It flows smoothly and your characterization is perfect.

abuseThis almost seems creepy to me, because Basch was with her when she was so young. Keyword: Almost. This was beautifully written and executed. Very subtle yet powerful. The old english language was dead on, which is so hard to do. Bravo.

abuseHave you considered writing a full AshexBasch fic instead of just drabbles and oneshots? This is really good.

abuseWHOOA!
That was SO cool

Although i was dense enough to have to read it twice to get the ending. Wow. Superb. Wonderful, magnificent, 2 thumbs up! hahaha (I can't even come up with original praises) that was cool. Keep it up.

abuseNicely done. I think Basch and Ashe are the most difficult of the FFXII characters to portray in an in-character manner, particularly in romantic and quasi-romantic situations. But this was quite lovely, particularly since I've been starved for Basch/Ashe.

abuseYou might do well to think of them as drabbles still and parse them; the content of each individual section is concise and effective, but separating them with -- or some other small marker might make the story less ambling.

Quite good, though. Some very telling images!

abuseThe move is called 'Ruin Impendent,' but otherwise, this is a good story. Since you maintained the convention of skipping ahead a few years every couple of paragraphs, it was easy to follow. Also, you have a sort of fluency that makes for a comfortable read.
