is very good. i like it.

Wow. Just...wow.

And this is just the first drabble. I plan on reading the rest, but for now...

I'm impressed by the feelings behind 'Break': the anguish of losing what he had taken for granted; the disbelief that his own blood could be capable of directing such hate at him; the determination to start fresh even if it took sloughing off his own skin to do so.

You have my attention, that's for sure! More reviews to come later. Toodles!

I really love the language you've used throughout the piece; it fits perfectly for the scenario, considering the age Final Fantasy XII is placed in. I'm looking forward to more chapters, keep up the great work ^^.

*Clap clap clap*
Truly another first class seat to awesome land here!
Lets see...
wonderful use of language, and a new word which is svelte, which I had to look up. Good vocabulary. And otherwise...
Wonderful, wonderful view on Balthier.
I've always believed he took her ring for good reasons. This not only greatly widened that reason, but honestly, it was a good point you've made. Balthier's thinking, *save the drama for your mama!* About Ashe really negate's her whole over dramatized thing about Raasler. It's a good, contrast that makes great sense, I would have died to see more explanation behind this in the game.
Too many people see it only at eye level and I marvel over your wonderful, logical, reasonable, thoughtful mind. Although I have to admit, the last part confused me,
the line of dialogue- “...though often I find his choice in understudies questionable.” Was really, confusing and I have no idea who was talking and what their idea behind it was. Maybe I read it strange?
I found your final section with Basch secretly humorous. Or maybe it was the overall hum of this piece. Though it was serious, I couldn't shake the feeling of adolescence from my thoughts. Balthier's unwillingness to share, despite his deeper intentions, Vaan and his (sister) Penelo, obviously a bit childish with him trying to hard to confess his feelings, the lack of drama when Penelo doesn't take him seriously. Basch despite being the oldest hume is the one that decides to ask the bluntest questions. He reminded me most especially, that maybe people can't look to deep into things all of the time.
You can't avoid things, and I still think that even if Ashe was taking control of Basch's guilt that Basch isn't being that entirely controlled by just her manipulation.
Well if that isn't to much to muck through...
It's lovely! Keep up the wonderful work!

*blinks* I about fell over in shock when I saw your note to me in the beginning. And then squeed in delighted happiness. You are awesome. :D

(Also, can I say you are incredibly, incredibly brave for taking on 100 prompts. O_o I thought 50 was a lot.)

Oh, Balthier and Ashe made me giggle. Slow death by Ashe's words...there are worse ways to die, Balthier! Also, I really liked how real you made the scene--with Ashe's chapped lips and bleeding hands, it just added a deeper reality to what you wrote.

He also had some very good points in his thoughts, but oh, I laughed so hard when he said she smelled bad. :D

And that last line in their scene!! It was fantastic--and so true. Balthier's a keen one.

Vaan and Penelo!! *dances*

Poor Vaan... *laughs* Trying to tell her something and can't quite get it out. His letting her go and then getting her to stop numerous times was hilarious.

And he got it out and then poor Penelo misunderstands. HEE! So cute!

And onto Basch...he's so fantastic and you portray him (and all the characters) SO WELL. Just in case I hadn't told you that before. Very sharp man--I found it fascinating how he realized Balthier had been a judge just by his posture and actions.

"Basch does what he deems no one else in the party has the good sense to do"

So much to love in just one chapter! - the paragraph that Balthier was thinking, but chose instead to say... was hilarious and seemed very in character to me. The scene with Vaan was very good as well - sad, funny, cute and frustrating all in one. I'm not sure I understood what Fran meant, but I love how Basch seems to take in everything he sees in a very perceptive way that befits his character.
Lovely chapter!

I enjoyed this, a lot. I love the introspection of the characters. Also, Balthier's personal opinion of Ashe is made of win, for as of late I've become awfully sick of BalAshe scenarios; his opinion you portrayed is similiar to mine of hers.
Does that make sense? XD Dear god I'm wiped.

Anyway, I enjoyed this. Though...are they all related, these chapters? If not, I'd like to humbly request some Balthier/Vaan, if the Vaan/Penelo thing isn't already set in stone for the other 90+ chapters. xD

Hi! this is great. Really Witty and well done. i love the style. keep up the good work!

I know i know! How long has it taken me to review? OK i don't want to know, but I really enjoyed this!
Predictably another fANTASTIC chapter if it isn't already predictable of me to say. I've been gone from here for ages and a day.
So let me get this straight, Balthier had to rescue Penelo from the raging beast yes?
and neither of them were that pleased about it either. Lol good job.
Keep it up!

THIS IS REALLY GOOD! I love the style. I'm really enjoying reading this, and have not yet found a single fault with your story. Can you write a vaan and Penelo centric one? Keep up the the good work!

Haha, that was nice. It was good to see a story about the hunting of marks (which are quite annoying at times). Balthier's annoyances at them--in particular, the fact that a lot want to meet at Nalbina--had me laughing. All the predictability. ;)

The glimpses of the characters and how they were fighting was nice, too; you captured them all very nicely in a paragraph.

I so cracked up when I read Fran saying "An irate beast. A susceptible virgin. Best hurry. I do believe that is your cue." *giggles madly*

Hahaha, I'm not sure whether I should say "poor Penelo" or not, but...it was a great ending. :D

This is perfect! I enjoyed every bit of it. Keep up the good work!

OMG this was so sweet! :) Penelo smiles at everyone... but Vaan. Yet Vaan is the one to see her true smile.

This is truly wonderful! :)

Please update soon? I grew addicted to this! :)

Hmm... I really don't know where to start on this one. I just think this is my new favourite drabble.

I loved it all. Everything. From Basch's struggle, to Fran's loss, Penelo's miracle, Ashe's hatred (and hatred, and hatred), Balthier as a judge and finally, Vaan's silent scream, that is there regardless how cheerful he may seem.

This is one of my favourite top drabbles EVER :)

And wow, I just read this one after the previous and I was even more surprised... the first time I see someone write not about Al-Cid, but his assistant! :D The poor girl seems so... lifeless in the game, stern and void of character, but here... you do justice to her. Ah, so she is mad at him? :D

I think I will never see that part of the game the same way I used to see before :P
