Excellent story! I really enjoyed it. It's probably the best "The Count of Monte Cristo" fanfiction I've read!

hahahah! i wonder how Albert is gonna react: "So Albert...remember how you said you always wanted a sister?"

anyAYS THIS IS SO AMAZING! and I love how the baby is named Haydee! That is just indescribably good! :D :D :D

ohmigosh what is wrong with me? I CRIED AGAIN! dang, you're a really good writer!

awesome! i actually cried!

DANG! this is like...awesome! I was surprised too when I found like...no fanfics for the Count of Monte Cristo! I JUST finished it and all and it was very dissappointing, but happy to find this one!

I really enjoyed your story. I too felt that Dumas left Mercedes alone at the end of his book. She didn't deserve to be so utterly diminished. I am happy you thought of a plausible story to bring Edmond and Mercedes back together. Thank you especially for writing a clean story without parts that would make a person blush.

Thank you a lot! Very interesting and intriguing fic!

But what about Albert?

...Ahem. *dreamz of mush totality*

And that was the last chapter! The story, as a whole, has potential for more than just .

Adieu.

Thank u, Chapter 9, for u have given us new dreams of Mercedes constancy (to Dantes) to dream about.

Dumas had for his own convenience neglected the Mercedes viewpoint to the breakup of the lovers and thereafter. Women's inconstancy to their beloveds was implied. "Frailty, thy name is woman," he had voiced thru his protagonist.

Chapter done, non-stop.

About Ch5, what is there left to say except some mysteries suppressed within Mercedes' heart r yet to be resolved, while others such as her suicidal desires after Dantes had gone missing for a length of time sans a logical reason, may have been implicit in Dumas' story.. the notable difference from this story's proceedings being Mondego supplanting the priest as the saving hand.

As to this chapter, gosh, it has broken my heart in not the natural, suitable manner!

Chapter 4's done for now. A good chapter, despite the moderated inconsistencies with the original.

Y'know, as have countless other devoted readers of the Monte Cristo saga, I too have tried, in vain, to discover that Mercedes' child was actully begotten of Dantes (perhaps in an episode of free-spirited lovemaking) and passed off as Mondego's in deference to the happiness of his newly acquired treasure, viz Mercedes herself.. In fact some spunky-authored adaptations go all out on this premise, and have been published into print thus. I can name one noteworthy.

That there's one notable twist to the story, n I'm not certain I'm able to judge its contribution to the tale's merits.

I have just finished the 2nd part of the story; it's pitifully short n my expectations have been fuelled but not yet ignited.

As I finish the first chapter of this story, n of course this being my first reading of a Monte Cristo sequel fiction (Oh, for fear that this splendid bitter-sweet Dumas story whose every thread I'm acutely aware as to how it's woven, for fear that any casual, sans-research adaptation-cum-sequel shall only bring more pain at the ludicrousness of the effort), I cannot but say that -

had this particular writer put in thrice his/er efforts, why then, there would indeed be one acceptable sequel ready for print publication.
