huh yaoi is quite popular these days...poor Jaarlaxle who are you gonne pair him up with? a engaging and fatastic story...but the characters seems a bit out of shape

Please update soon! (I'd type more but I'm kinda three-fourths asleep at the present moment...)

Your writing is amazing. I love this story and I can't wait for your next chapter. This is definately something I could see happening with Drizzt and Artemis.

Awesome chapter! Really, great! Working the shade in to a fuller extent is looking very promising. I can't wait for more!

Brand new installment, and I almost missed it!

I discovered this story not too long ago, and now that you have updated I'm going to take the chance to review the whole thing, okay?

Quite honestly, to get it out short and simple, I love it.

You came up with a clever plot to get the gang together, and from then on I find that I like your characterisation. Entreri is great, and I must confess to being quite ensnared by the way you're playing with the Shade within, something everyone else seems to overlook. This latest plot twist, with a 'physical' manifestation and new powers being gained... I can barely wait to see where you're taking us!

Drizzt is quite lovely in your story as well. Usually I find him too much of a zealot to do anything useful in a story, but you've managed to keep him as the good idealistic guy with a dose of naiveté that Salvatore himself won't grasp in his cannon books. The way he's reaching out to Artemis in this latest chapter is really touching and cute, too.

Jarlaxle... okay, he's not around this chapter, but I want to comment on him as well, very briefly: cunning, daring, and funny, sometimes a bit histrionic - the Jack Sparrow flavor that suits him oh-so-well -, he's one of the best Jarlaxles out there.

All around, a great job! Please, keep the story going: I really want to know how it will unfold. We readers will wait patiently no matter how long it takes!

Thanks for writing and sharing your hard work,

Ron

You cut it off THERE?!
evil...

The dream with the shadow-stuff was interesting, if a bit worrying. "The darkness within" might not be a good thing to be intoduced to...

They KISSED! *happy fangirl squee*

Yea! You posted! Great chapter, I love the idea of how the shade's essence is affecting Artemis. Darn for that cry of "LAND!" ^.^
J'espère que vous avez eu des vacances merveilleuses et une grande nouvelle année !

This is really good. I like the shade element a lot. I can't wait for a review!
Fast fingers and good inspiration,

The Laughing Mann

This scene is my favorite part.

“There's only darkness within,” he whispered.

He closed his eyes, images of the Shade playing in his mind. He jumped when he felt Drizzt soft hand on his own. His first reaction was to jerk away, but somehow he resisted the urge to wait. When he opened his eyes, they locked with the dark elf's, slightly glowering in the new twilight.

“If there was only darkness, Artemis, you wouldn't protect the ones you care about.”

The assassin felt the irrepressible urge to deny, but it would have been ludicrous. After all, he had saved Drizzt's life on one or two occasions, and he was still trying to rescue Dwavhel from Kimmuriel. He knew he was stupidly blushing, but just could not help it. Drizzt's face was so close; if he leant forward, just an inch, their foreheads would be touching.

(wearing a feline smirk) This is interesting along every step of the way. I can't wait for more.

I know, I know, I'm reviewing rather late... as usual. Sorry. I really feel bad about it, because I liked this chapter so much. ^^

"he could not ignore the fact that the word 'dragon' implied 'lair'." Hehe, our dearest Jarlaxle ... The whole description of the cavern is very good. Very detailed, I can see the scene in my head. ^^

"Then, Jarlaxle did what he was the best for. He played. A disappointed look made his way on his delicate features, as a childish pout distorted his mouth."
Again, very fitting for Jarlaxle. It's so much like him. I very much like your portrayal of Jarlaxle in this chapter. Cunning, charming, charismatic, witty ... just the way we love him.

Bwahaha, and seeing CB can only be a "disagreeable surprise". She's so annoying ... thanks for reminding us of that. ;) It's just a pity that she's coming along, poor Jarlaxle ... I think I'd go insane if I had to spend five minutes around CB. Ah, well, at least we can hope that you'll make more fun of her, she deserves it. ;)

"my own partner had lost his Halfling on his way – he is so careless with his things..." I'm still laughing madly about this. ^^ Pretty much everything Jarlaxle says in this chapter is hilarious, I can't quote it all.
I'm very curious about how Jarlaxle will react when he catches up with Artemis and Drizzt. He seems to be quite vexed that Artemis just left him.

Oh, I just noticed that I didn't even review the previous chapter! Shame on me! Let me just say that I liked it, too. The whole thing with Artemis and the shade is quite intriguing, I can't wait to see where this is going. I like the interaction between him and Drizzt, although I'm not quite sure what to think of the last scene - somehow I doubt that Artemis would allow Drizzt to touch him (outside battle) in front of the crew. But that's the only criticism I can think of.
Oh, and this line is just great: "Or shall I drink your soul to the last drop of stupidity?" It's such a typical Artemis sentence, angry and sarcastic and annoyed. And somehow close to his usual banter with Jarlaxle, which has to mean something ... *grin*

Great chapters! I'm looking forward to the next one!

You updated. Yayness! ^^

First off, I *love* how you've depicted Catti-brie and Jarlaxle's reaction towards her. I hate Salvatore's depiction, it's so one-dimensional and boring, but you. Wow. I mean, talk about showing her bitchy side - and to Jarlaxle. Well, it just goes to show how much intelligence she really lacks. (I know, I'm being mean, but she didn't even say 'please'! I think Jarlaxle would have liked a 'please'.)

Oh, and her bubble of denial:

“Don't be stupid Jarlaxle; Drizzt wouldn't have left me behind, especially if he has come all this way to rescue me!”

What Drizzt sees in her, I'll never know.;)

And that ring - it's making me very curious. Very, very curious.=^^=

Heehee! That's awesome! What kind of trouble can this unseemly duo cause?

I'll never forget to leave a review. And certainly not after reading such a good chapter !
I really love Jarlaxle's humour ! So funny ! (I even sometime think he looks like a certain captain Jack Sparrow... don't you think ?)
And Catty-Brie... poor little girl, the truth is gonna hard to swallow. Her "Knight in shining armour" abandonned her... for an assassin ! :p
You did a good job by having this strory back. Keep on writing !
Bisous
Ly

Si drôle! Hehehe I kinda like Jarlaxle getting a bit of backfire in his plans!!
