I only have a word for this: EPIC

because I have no other words to describe how awesome this your fic really is. I simply love Blue/Chatoya. Blue's cold exterior is especially love. Tee hee.

I cannot wait to see Chimera's sequel. (Hey, how longer are you going to make us wait?) ;D

This story is better than the originals, no offence to lj smith.

It is amazing, beautiful, awesome and so so captivating.

I just couldnt rest until i got to the end. The best thing about your writing and this story is that the ending is not the usual happily ever after.

Somehow, the fact that Blue does not exactly become a good guy and give up killing for Toya makes it sensible. Your character doesnt take a complete turn if you have suddenly fallen in love. And then that kind of thing is boring.

About your characters : i love Blue and Toya, Cougar is awesome and Jepar seems so adorable, Aspen appears to be very cute and all the remaining charactes are really cool.

I have to admit I did want to kill you when in second last chapter it starts to appear that both of them have no chance whatsoever.

But, really great writing. Do get your original work published. Unless i have no knowledge about books, i am certain your work will be loved.

And finally, you must forgive me for writing the longest review in history.

Loved your writing. Thanks for curing me of boredom for atleast a little while.

I have to say, I absolutely loved this story.

I'm not big on fanfiction - I normally reside on fictionpress - but I has been surfing through fp and ended up on . And to say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. But I'm embarrassed to say that it took me a while to realize that Blue and Chatoya were YOUR characters, and not in the Night World Series. Haha.

You're obviously a wonderful writer, and I encourage you to keep working with these characters. I'd love to see them in a totally original story too. I could see that. :)

What a twisted couple...But i love them all the same.

WOW...that was by far the best book i have read yet on fan fiction!i liked the way the story line was made out...the only downside i found was not being in blues point of veiw more

oh. my. god. iv just finished reading this story and im absolutely speechless. you are an amazing author. lj smith herself could not have done better. you should get this published. the only problem now is i want more of this story :-( ahh well il just have to find someting else. or i could just reread it. yes i think il do that. THANKYOU! it is an amazing insight into a facsinating world. and it lightened the monotony of my life a great deal x

And here I am again, reading this story for the umpteenth time since it was written all those years ago (my how the time flies!). It still remains my favourite fanfiction, nay *story*, of all time. How I wish I could have it in the form of a book that I could read anywhere I wished!

I am now going to go backwards and re-read Shimmer. Again.

Much love for you Ki, so much love.

heyy! i wanted to congratulate u on one of the most amazingest stories i've ever read - chimera. Blue is so HOTT!

kayy what i liked abt ur story: the plot was awesome, lots of luv triangles and soulmate-meetings and heart breaks. then, i luvd the wayy u put the characters! they're all different and yet they're believable. kayy, ill admit (grudgingly) that ur writing is awesome, fortunately no spelling & grammatical mistakes.

But whats with the weird names? chatoya & blue & all that? i got pretty mixed up in the beginning. it would have helped if u had done an intro to kind of separate out whos who. im not saying that u shud write each name and what they're like, but kind of tell it it toya's perspective and explain them out. or something. you're the author! u do the thinking!

thank u for not making an arrogant cold blooded sadistic assassin (blue) fall in luv with head strong girl (toya, altho she is headstrong. And a girl.D) and then become a smitten reformed character who is the best boyfriend ever and declares his undying love...how boring. (um, theres this other authoress moreta whose stories u should read if u havent esp black sun. she got it right too.)

i think Toya rocks! thank u! shes an awesome heroine & makes us humans proud. Those that arent also witches and/or dragons, at least...

ahaha, anywayy, sorry 4 making u read this long incredibly boring review. i hav this thing abt writing long reviews to my favvy authors. now im off to check out ur other stories.

And what are u still here for? go write more stories! and if u need any help frm little devilish me, email me at

btw UR AWESOME! LJ smith cant compare! D ROCK ON!

AW...

blue really is a lovely bastard. delectably terrible in all the wrong ways... poor chatoya TT_TT

Blue as in the deadly sin of lust right?

btw how old are they?

like blue and the others...?

I don't think I have ever read a story as much as I have this one. I don't think I have ever WANTED to read a story as much as I have this one. I get bored pretty quickly and I usually only read things once. If their is anything that even competes with Chimera they were all written by you. For goodness sakes your oneshots are my lifeblood when I can't find anything else good to even mention the amount of times I read them is embarrassing. The day you do get published I will gladly wait in the long lineups on the first day it gets released.

You need to get this story published. Seriously! Its THE best Ive read on this site. And i'm eagerly awaiting Haloed, any idea when you'll write that?

This..is...the most... amazing, wonderful, heartbreaking, annoyingly supenseful, horrifically sad, shockingly perfect story I have read up till now.

O.o Ok ive quit the ranting now. I read most of the Night World books and loved them, read Nigtworld fanfics of which rly liked only a handful..but your story beats everything! I dunno, its just..well...all of the above I guess. I was totally intrigued by the plot and even more by the main characters even though I must say, the one I felt for most was Aspen.I did get slightly confused about the four dragons though and how Chatoya and Blue could become totally different people. ?

I did notice that you had more stories with the same characters..are they meant to be read in a certain order so the story makes sense or just randomly?

Anyway...Ill just say it once more..I LOVE UR STORY!

(Id be one of the people who would buy it if it was published) :D

Ok, last review for today :)

1. He, she knew, was like Blue, an extremely powerful assassin who led an organisation that aimed to keep the races pure. But he seemed, well...nice. Maybe those strange eyes held a bit of madness, and he came out with some perverse announcements, but basically, he was far too normal. -Consider replacing "basically" with essentially.

2. All the innocence faded from his face, and she saw underneath that clever act.

And how, how clever it was. -I'm not sure if the second "how" is meant to be there... sounds kind of odd _ (Btw, I don't understand why they changed L.J. Smith section on Fanfiction to The Secret Circle. My love for her Nightworld series is enraged! And it's sad- it seems like less and less people are writing fanfic for L.J. Smith ;_; )

3. "Honey," Chatoya said pleasantly, looking down at his short form, "not even if we were the last two people on earth and there were no more sheep. It's Blue."

His smile was pitying, and too knowing. "Well, where do you think he got the nickname from?" -I'm a bit slow and usually much too curious for my own good, hehe. So, where DID he get the nickname from? O_O

Okies, that's all for now :D I'm off to dabble and possibly catch some sleep. Hearty heart.

-dash

Here we go again (o, let's do the timewarp :D)

1. Cougar's pitiful moan drifted up from the heap of wreckage. "Oh god. I'm the world's biggest pincushion."

"Well, if you will lose your temper," Lisa said warningly, going to dig him out. "Oh, hon, we're sending you to anger management." -Not sure what Lise is trying to say here; the first part of her sentence does not seem to connect with the second T_T

2. But gods...oh, bright Goddess, she was scared -Hehe, again, fullstop at the end of the sentence please ;)

3. To love someone utterly, you had to bare your heart to them and say:

This is yours to do with as you want. I am yours to savour, to treasure, to adore.

And to crush. -A little word, crush. A little word I think should be replaced with something slightly stronger. Plus, crush does also have the meaning of harboring a secret like for someone. I have really little idea of the word to replace it with though (sweatdrop) so here's some random words to help you along the way. Destroy, consume, devour. Preferably some word with two or more syllables ;) or even something like instead of "and to crush", "and my heart/soul, yours to shatter." xox

Btw, I just have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you handled this part. It's perfect! :

When Blue had killed her family, he had cut out her heart too, and left her crumpled in the dirt. Yet these contrary, compassionate people, these friends, had dragged her to her feet, and wrapped their lives about her like a web to hold her up, and told her the things that people had to say.

They said: I'm sorry.

But my family are still gone.

They said: It will be all right.

But I am alone.

They said: We love you.

And she knew now that she should have told them the truth, and perhaps they would have let her shrivel away. For in the darkness of the night, with her doubts and fears congealed about her, with all her daylight dreams stripped away, and reality stark before her, the truth was plain. She knew she should have said:

But I am empty.

4. "You can't hurt me!" she said, enraged by his arrogance. "Been there and done it and bled all over the T-shirt, remember? You're my soulmate, Blue, and we both know that you're not going to risk killing me and losing all your precious powers, and your sanity and maybe your life." -Consider removing the "and" before "your sanity" :)

Hehe, that's all the heads up for this chappie- I have the time tonight to review maybe one more before settling in to dance with some writing myself.

Cheers
