i saw right away by the title that this would be a good story, i didnt even bother reading the summary i love that song so much, this is a AMAZING story in my opinion and i hope you keep up the good work. also when you told people not to read in the begining if they were not-

"people who are not fans of Zelink romance, Battle of the Bands, grandmas who give wise advice, rock music, and kids breaking their own stereotypes, please don't bother to read another word"

-made me laugh my head of because those are my favorite things in the world!

Again grat work and keep it up!!

I admit I am somewhat ashamed not having r&r'ed sooner. Fortunately for you, I didn't check the word count before I ventured to click the title of this fic, because as you know, a oneshot this long tries my attention span. Neither was I deterred by the fact that the title is also the name of a song by one of my least favorite bands—but hours later, here I am loving you, my biffle, with a review.

There were a few mechanical errors though I can't say I remember exactly where they are among those 50 pages. Also, the walls of caps lock are a bit unnecessary, don't you think?

Moving on: I like what you are trying to do with this fic. I admire why it was written: breaking down stereotypes; attempting to demonstrate meaningful relationships—basically trying to debunk the fairytale we all like to see in Disney films. The most meaningful scene to me was Link's conversation with his grandmother, in which she tells them that people have the ability to change. Identity is fluid. It's so very true. Link proceeds to change. He starts speaking his mind...but Zelda's change I find somewhat disturbing.

In the beginning of this story we are presented with the idea that she has a dual personality. She is a popular girl, and she is also a smart girl, but we really don't see much development of the smart girl. According to our narrator the "smart" Zelda is the "true" Zelda, but we are really not given any reason to believe the "smart" personality over the "popular" personality—really, I'm not sure why they can't peacefully coexist within the same person. So Zelda changes, signified by her change in hair color. Although I know this is only an outward sign of an inner change, I'd like to point out that it is also a stereotype. ;) I just get a bad feeling from Zelda's metamorphosis... almost like she is changing for the sake of a relationship. I'm pretty sure that wasn't your intent however.

Likewise, what I wanted to take from this was that people should get over themselves and the cliques they are trapped in, that they should branch out and become more well-rounded. But what I actually got was "Geek: good. Popular: bad." Personality isn't such a clear dichotomy, nor do I believe we should attribute any goodness or badness to either end of the spectrum. But this entire fic is based on the fact that we recognize these stereotypes: the smart geeky guy and the ditzy popular blonde. In this way, I think you deserve a bit of respect: Is your use of stereotypes proliferating stereotyping or dispelling it? Maybe neither! But you make us aware of them, and that is what is important. What the reader does with this information is up to them.
Though I hope you'll be slightly less biased next time. ;)

Your writing improves every day, my biffle! I am so proud of you and the works thou hast wrought!

Much love and respect,
Berlin's Brown Eyes

I liked your story very much, I get deep inside it for I read it just in one night without stopping, I wish you could write more material like this. I also liked the way you gathered all those characters and how they related with each other. The plot consisting in Link turned into a school boy and then finding his courage as the story flows is great. Great job!

BKP, you underestimate yourself.
This story was so masterfully written, it was so much better than i could have done. The way you portrayed all the charcters, emotions, situations... it was fantastic! You are a fantastic author, i couldn't find anything wrong with this story. (or maybe it was so good, i just didn't see them) :)

Wow... This was really awesome. True, too. Well, in a metaphorical sense, anyway. It makes me wish that I had had more than one good Valentine's Day. Makes me wish I could... Never mind...

Dood. If this was rush'd, then the story wouldn't be half as long. Or half as good.
