This is a wonderful story! Please continue!

If that's Navi I'll laugh my butt off I swear. I mean, what else could those be but fairies right? Which means he's probably in the realm of the Deku tree or something like that. XD Poor Daek was spellbound by Vaati, and you came up with an interesting plot twist between Vael and Link. GAH!! That darn windy guy better not touch Dark or Link! I'll beat him up!! ...okay prbly not...but it's the thought that counts. You haven't really writtn for a while so the moment I saw that you had a new chapter up I was ecstatic! Somehow though it seems sketchy and a little rushed. I still like it though.I can't wait for th next one, and if I'm right about the faries, then I think I know who the yellow one is. XD

...please tell me you intend on finishing this story...I'm gonna be sad if you dont...

Cause this is amazing!

An absolutely thrilling story. I read it and sometimes I feel "What will happen next?!" But other times I want to hit them both, because some things are in front of them and I think I see them and knew what they mean, but they don't see them!
So frustrating. But in a good way, like all good reads.
I can't wait to read more and more as you update and feel that same feeling.
I can't comment really on how the games and your fic connect, as I've only played two and have limited knowledge, so all I can say is I love it.
And I must say, Dark is quite handsy. I think I'm enjoying it more than is natural.

Thank you for writing beautifully.
Humbly yours,
Clementine

Wow. Just... wow. I have no idea what I can say about this. Everything about your work (this includes your other stories, like Reflections of the Heart) is so beautifully woven. I constantly find myself on the edge of my seat; my throat tightening when something bad happens to dark, or laughing out loud when Link does something incredibley stupid. <3 It's very rare for me to come across an author who entices me to read more than their oneshots, let alone to go to their profile and want to follow all of their work.

First off, there's just something about the way you word your writing that inspires me to do better with my own work. Everything flows. The words are intelligent but not so complicated that it sounds forced, and still manage to be meaningful despite just being black figures on white. Your plots are also something to match it, coming off intelligent and making you think. I suspect that Chambers is the mad man trying to awaken Ganon, and yet, seeing the quality of writing you've dished out thus far, the red face and sunglasses could have been caused by something completely different than Link's "thunder", or whatever Dark happened to call it. At the same time, it wouldn't be a bad thing if it did turn out to be Chambers; it is a little bit cliche, but I think you could pull off that sort of somewhat predictable twist. I'm curious to see where it goes, which is always a sign of exceptional writing. An authors goal is to capture interest, after all.

Also, your characters are very interesting. I suspected there was something up with Vael, and yet it still threw me a twist when he turned out to have Vaati's blood in him, or whatever caused Vaati to possess him; all of the signs were there. Long purple hair, dressing up as a mage, being good with magic... and yet for whatever reason, the way you wrote it had me totally distracted from seeing the obvious clues until it was "too late". I appreciate it when an author can surprise me with what's right infront of my face.

My favourite part of your writing, I would have to say, is Dark, though. Not just because he's totally awesome (:'D) but because the little characteristics you've put into him make him endearing. I've never actually played a Zelda game recently enough to remember Dark Link in any of the games, and yet between the two stories of yours that I've read, you've single handedly made him my favourite character. Kudos for that. I particularly enjoy the little physical habits he seems to have when it comes to Link's body. The neck nibbling for example (and I'm not just saying this because yaoi is the reason I LIVE uwo). It's sort of like a... trait that Dark just couldn't shake even after how many Link's he's had to find. And you've also written him very deep, emotionally. I can't imagine losing that many friends, that many lovers, the way he has, and it's interesting to watch how he handles it each time Link brings up a different one.

I won't go on for much longer, I have things to do, and all that. :) I just thought I would let you know that besides ~BlackenedWing, you're the only author on this entire site so far that has captured my interest long enough to get me to sit through more than a oneshot, let alone two or three full length stories. I thank you for posting such beautiful works and am looking forward to the next installment of this story, and I will be looking into your other fanfictions as well. <3

The ending of this chapter made me smile. I absolutely love your portrayal of Link and Dark Link and their entire world. I don't mind slow updates, personally, as long as they keep coming. cx Thank you for the chapter, a perfect way to relax on this sweltering June afternoon. cx

Q.Q It's s-s-s-so beautiful! I simply love it!

-bursts into tears-

The emotions building up and the climax slowly easing it's way up into a big suspense just makes it so beautiful. I can't wait for the next chapter. Please keep on writing!

[E]velyn Dark~

P.S. I love how you protray Dark. It fits exactly the way I would see his personality to be like.

Sorry, this is kind of a sappy review, but I need to write it; my computer recently crashed, and I lost my bookmarks- which sucked, but it gave me a reason to consider which ones I really missed. I wanted to say, now that I've found this particular one again, that I really love this story, and thank you for writing.

This chapter is exactly what I've been wanting: a good chunk of chapter dedicated to Link's previous existences. I love how you do it, too. "I wake up..." Repetition, in my opinion, is the most dramatic element, and you utilized it perfectly.

I remember that I had a lot more good stuff to say, but I am extremely tired. All I can remember to say now is this: I am looking forward to the email telling me you posted Chapter 11.

Oh, and one more thing, I guess. Because I'm mean and never like to leave a review without at least one complaint (constructive criticism, right?), I'll say this: There were a few times--especially during the action scenes of Chapter 9--where it seemed like a chunk of text was missing. I'd have everything working nicely in my head, then suddenly the characters were further along than I expected. I don't want to tell you to put in more transition sentences and description, because it looks like you're intending to avoid that. (Maybe you're aware that it slows down your story, I don't know.) If you are intending to keep things at in interesting pace, just know that readers can still get lost when you summarize something behind said without quotations or when you try to make an action scene too quick.

G'night. I'm going to bed.

My gosh, this was...this was spectacular. This was easily my favorite chapter of the entire story and what I have read of your Zelda works so far. It had so much creativity and emotion, building up on a Zelda fan's memory and heart for the characters and different Links and, of course,

Dark Link and Link's relationship

XD oh god, by this point all I can do is squeel like the little fangirl I am. Your story is amazing and I can't wait until the next chapter -love-~

I love that your chapters are nice and long. cx Its good that Dark didn't really die. That would have been really bad. cx But anyway, I'm looking forward to more of the story. I hope you had a great holiday!

-hugs you- I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW! XD DARK'S ALIVE! ...Can you tell i'm happy? You can can't you? It was the maniacally excited scream wasn't it? XD Anyway, write more soon please. Also I can see why this one took so long to write. What with all the past life experiences you had to come up with. XDD I love that Dark fell out of the King of Red Lions. That made me laugh so hard. All of this was really good. I loved it so much, it really made my day. Seriously, good luck with the next chapter. AND MARRY CHRISTMAS! :D

Meh. The yaoi/shonen ai isn't exactly my forte, I'm a ZeLink and ZelDark fan. But the story itself is pretty good. I prolly won't keep as close an eye on this one as I will with the Fade to Black sequel. No offense of course!

Keep up the good work though.

NO~! -shakes computer screen sobbing tearlessly- He's not allowed to die~! -glares- FIX HIM DAMN IT! ...Oh and good luck on the next chapie! :3 This one was really exciting, and now we can all tel how much Linky really LOVES~ Dark. -sly grin- Heheheheh. XD Can't wait to read more.
