Not too short. The perfect length. The things unsaid make it mysterious and the mystery makes it even more intriguing. I've never thought about Aly and Taybur, before. Interesting.

the pairing and the idea is interesting. i like the ambiguity in your writing. why say something straight when you can dance around it for a sentence or two?

M... this was fun. Aly and Taybur are a lot more interesting together than Aly and Nawat, and it was pretty clear in the books that they hit it off. I found your idea very thought-provoking that if they couldn't be together they had to be (unwilling) rivals, and that only one would prevail.

Thanks for sharing!

Very good. I actually thought he's a better match for her than Nawat, right from their first conversation. There was so much that could have been, and yet...

Good work. It's interesting to see how this will go, but it stands just fine as a one-shot. But what kind of a reviewer am I if I don't ask for more? :D

More please!! Keep up the good work!

Interesting...Aly and Nawat?
