 Pfefferminztea 2009-11-20 . chapter 22 Okay, so I just noticed that I can´t review a chapter twice, but I feel I have to clarify this matter.
I know that you didn´t mean to connect Siegfried with the Wannsee Conference in any way.
Mind you, if I´d ask my classmates, most of them probably wouldn´t know what it was about, and we´ve been studying German history for years now. It´s totally forgivable not to know about it!
(Though it would be good if people would - at least those who, like my classmates, are educated to raise awareness of Nazi history.) |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-11-20 . chapter 24You chose a beautiful setting for your epilogue!
All the time while I was reading it, I had to think of that film scene where Erik is crying on top of the opera house... it´s one of my favorite moments in the musical!
As for that kiss, I hoped it would finally come.
When I read about Tea wanting to hug Seto, I was disappointed for a moment, only to go: "Yes! YES! They did it!" the next instance... :D
And now I´ll HAVE to read the sequel, I definitely want to know how Mokuba will recieve that piece of news! |
 Crystal Rose of Pollux 2009-11-20 . chapter 22 In response to the review below: I swear I didn't know about the lake, but thanks for alerting me to it! I've edited it accordingly. |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-11-20 . chapter 23That Phantom is leaving his footprints all over this story... Erik, you should be ashamed of yourself! :D
It DOES seem a little unlikely, though, that Tea would consider taking over someone´s house (if that someone is dead) an "all-time low" - if it was me, I´d be more angry and concerned about what they did with ME. |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-11-20 . chapter 22Wow.
That´s quite a way of making sure that Seto becomes aware how much he changed!
... or not. Or did he?
You´ve confused me now.
I didn´t expect Aurus and the rest of the dancers to be Rare Hunters, either... I thought they were just allies or something? Phew.
^^
So now you´re bringing Siegfried in as well?
That´ll be a good chance to practice your German, at last! One tiny thing I noticed, you capitalized the word "lieben" - in German, we wouldn´t do that. But it´s really not a big thing, so never mind.
I was a bit startled that you wrote that Siegfried is overlooking Lake Wannsee... you know about the Wannsee Conference in which the Nazis decided to eradicate all European Jews? So the name does have sort of a bitter taste to me... though I must admit I´ve got no idea what they do there now, I suppose it´s just an ordinary lake. |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-11-20 . chapter 21:D
You made me laugh here with your Latin!
Did you ever study the subject? (I hated it at school, but I´m still good enough to know what "Et tu...?" means and alludes to...)
Poor Seto. Finally he decides to admit his feelings for Tea (at least partially) and then she shows up with a "boyfriend" in her wake...
I hope that you will give Tea a chance to prove to Seto that her strategy of trust is not always the wrong way, though... How is he ever going to change if everything just confirms his opinion that she gets herself into trouble by doing so?
I don´t believe it.
You managed to sneak in Carlotta! I love you. :D
... AND you´ve connected all this with the YGO movie.
How can you keep so many different storylines in mind and tie them together to make a perfectly smooth new one? |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-11-20 . chapter 20Every time you upload a new chapter of "Eine Mitternachtsstimme", I resolve to finally read the rest of this story so I can start with the new one... I hope one day I´ll really manage to catch up. ^^
Though I didn´t really like the way Tea put herself in danger in the last chapter, I really liked the beginning of this one!
Firstly, your description of Arkana´s threats was chillingly written... and Tea´s escape shows that this isn´t the first time she´s ever been kidnapped. *lol*
Wow. I´m almost as stunned as Tea by this turn of events.
To escape one custody just to be captured again by people whom you thought to be friends... that´s harsh. |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-11-02 . chapter 19Finally I´ve managed to get back to reading your fics!
I adore the way you describe Seto, the way he slowly realizes that Tea DOES mean something to him, after all. Though it seems I´ve written that many, many times already. ^^ Excuse me for not being more creative.
And "Mr. Dash-Gallantly-to-the-Rescue"? Just... lol.
Still, I don´t know what to think of Tea´s behavior. Sure, she wants to find out whether there is anything suspicious about that magician, but slipping off into the dark, when she already knows that there might be someone around who wants to harm her... doesn´t really make her look smart, does it? |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-06-18 . chapter 18Yes!
YES!
She finally did it! :D
Two things, actually, dance on Broadway AND confess her feelings... and really brave she was, too. ^^ I don´t think I would have managed such a face-to-face confession to someone like Seto.
I loved the way both their personality showed in that short argument about whether Tea ought to stay or leave - you made it clear that they are both strong characters, but Anzu is very idealistic about her dreams, as well. |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-04-09 . chapter 17*lol*
For a moment, I was actually believing that you would close this case and leave it at that. Not that it would have been bad like that, but as an Azureshipper I naturally don´t mind you teasing our Seto a litte...
Also, I realized that you do describe some of the rare hunters´ characters quite closely but letting them act in their own particular ways... I admire that, all those little minor characters. |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-04-08 . chapter 16I´m sorry I am taking so long to read another chapter...
Of course, saying that I assume that you like to read my reviews, but as an author who is always glad to hear from her readers, I believe I may do that. ^^
You´ve done a magnificent job again. I admit that it takes me a while to get back into the story every time, but it´s totally worth it!
At one point, however, I feel a litte torn between two feelings - you write very skillfully about the dancing, but sometimes it does seem a little long-winded. Maybe that´s just me, but although I like it and understand that it is a vital part of the story - given how important it is zu Tea - sometimes I find myself skipping some parts of the text looking for the actual "action".
But as for suspense, you couldn´t have done a better job here.
And I love how you´ve managed to bring the dragon jet into the story! ^^
Plus, I like it that you made Tea seem more quick-thinking than Seto, I think he needs that for once! |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-01-04 . chapter 15Brilliant.
You manage to bring up some ancient Egyptian side plot when I least expect it. ^^ |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-01-04 . chapter 14^^
Good one.
I really admire your way of changing Seto oh-so-slowly, so not even he himself notices it. |
 Pfefferminztea 2009-01-04 . chapter 13Lol, Anzu.
Comparing Seto´s heart to a volcano? And then talking about his "inner darkness" building up, and I was thinking about something like uncontrollable passions. But I liked the metaphor, really, I did.
Also, Valon? I never liked him. But you make him seem almost like a decent person. ^^
And dancing in morse code? If that isn´t an ingenious idea, I don´t know what is. I LOVE this chapter! |
 Flaming Blizzard 2009-01-03 . chapter 24...You're probably getting sick of me, but this was so good, I need to rave about it.
I LOVE how Aurus WASN'T a one-dimensional character-he was THREE-DIMENSIONAL, and despite how he lied and stuff, I felt for him. And as usual, your knack for getting all the characters 'voices' down, and bringing them into a situation I can see happening, was done wonderfully. Seriously, this could have been a season for the show! (And better than GX...)
Also, I love how you did the ship-they weren't all mushy with eachother-which is EXACTLY how I see Azureshipping working out. They'll have fights, but in the end, they make up, as usual.
The part about the dancing being morse code was really unique-I don't think I've ever seen another fanfic do that. And I also liked the group of dancers-even though they turned against Tea, it wasn't hard to sympathize with them.
(And hey, were they doing a specific Broadway play? I'm just a bit curious about it.)
Either way...great fic as usual!
