abuseOh, man, my first playthrough, I didn't realize you could only get 5 supports per character, so Eliwood had two from Ninian and one from Hector and I think one from Lyn, and although I waited 200+ turns on Cog of Destiny (right before she's abducted), naturally that A support never came. T__T Got it in the next playthrough, though.

I actually rather liked this--I think it really does capture Eliwood very well. He's the type who would never want anyone else to be burdened by his troubles, so he hides himself away and mourns, and regrets, and blames himself...and then pulls himself together and goes off to be heroic. XD But I do like it. It wasn't pointless at all, it's a look into his character at this particular moment...and very touching, as well.

abuseVery angsty. Very good angst. I like the way that the conversations Eliwood had with Ninian were part of the present moment that Eliwood was thinking about. (I also like that Sain made into that list with bandits and Nergal.) Hmm... anyway, well done. You made me enjoy angst. Hope you're happy with yourself.

And if it's wrong to characters, then I probably deserve to die at the hands of some of my own.

abuseOPS! dw, that happened to me too...

Sorry but this is a point and laugh at the both of us moment. Ahha!

Angsty Eliwood. Just letting his feelings out... makes him a bit... normal.

abuseHmm. It's not your best work. But then again, angst is really hard to write. A story like this seems to capture the feeling of angst, so I guess it's still pretty good.

abuseThough it may have seemed like pointless angst, this was actually a very well-written and interesting read, that I found slightly similar, in a way, to what I'm going through right now. Ah well... either well, this oneshot was very well done. Great work!

abusePhft... Angst... What nonsense. Where's Hector to knock the living nonsense out of Eliwood when you need him? Our pansy lord has no excuse to be so absurdly lost within his own failitude. Sure, he's no Hector, but he doesn't suck THAT bad...

Well, he still is like the worst lord in the history of fire emblem...

Anyway, well written and thought out. I just don't like angst on the whole...

abuseANGST! The sheer ANGST of it! I like it ^^. You portayed Eliwood really well, like a fine glass statue that had been cracked and worn, until it simply sat there. I really liked this. Don't do more, though, unless you feel like torturing everyone's favourite pansy lord. (Though you were good at it, it's just not your style.). Or, well . . . maybe. It would depend who you wrote it for.

ANGST!!

(BTW, I have an interesting idea for you . . . search the Internet for something called 'The Big Ad'. Australian beer ad. The biggest ad in the world. Guaranteed to crack you up!)

abuseHello Kender!

And lo, I bring you a review!

I'm actually not big on first person stories. At one time, I think I was because I have several that I've written. But since this is a oneshot, I guess it doesn't matter. (I really only have trouble reading chaptered stories written in first person.)

[I wanted to protect her. From what, I didn’t know. Sure, there were logical answers—Nergal, bandits, Sain-]

-Chokes- Hahahaha! You had to throw that in there, didn't you?

[But his death wasn’t mother’s fault, either.]

"Mother's" should be capitalized here, since he's speaking directly of her. If he'd have said "my mother's", it would be lowercased.

This could almost be "AngstFamily" or "AngstRomance". Hmm...

It was good, actually. Don't underestimate your writing! I don't care for Eliwood and Ninian a lot, myself, but they do make a sweet couple. Luckily for me, I got Eliwood and Ninian's A Support already. I'm just working on Hector and Florina's. (Kent and Lyn, of course, have had their A.)

I love angst. But you know that! Speaking of angst, I'm sorry I haven't updated Unwavering Devotion yet. I've been working on another Kent-centric fic, and waiting to find out exactly how Hector dies in FE6, so that I don't stray too far from the canon-path.

I especially liked the last few lines in this. Sometimes it can be hard to end a "pointless" (as you put it) fic... but I think you did remarkably well. Ending something is always my weak point- it either turns out corny as heck, or just really stupid...haha.

Great work! You know I like your writings, so be sure to keep it up!

Cheers,
-Manna
