LOVED this! You have a fantastic writing style and your take on Dmitri's internal struggle is balanced perfectly between poignant and amusing. Thank you for an excellent read! :D

The timeliness was a bit difficult to follow but it was beautifully poetic.

& unfortunately, it never happened like that in real life ]:
This was great-like stab-me-in-the-eye-with-brilliance-Great.
But I really didn't expect anything less from one of my favorite writers on here.
I have seen good imagery, I have read so many different tantalizing styles, but you use the "simplest" words and turn them into something /more/. Words that someone usually don't think would fit together, but in your capable hands, makes it so.
Example: Her skin blistered full of diamond shards- jewels against her skin forming an imperfect armor...
That probably has to be my favorite sentence out of this whole piece & that's saying something because I loved Dmitri's perspective throughout.
I like how you had him denying it, and then seeing both people at the same time, and eventually... fused into one. Beautifully done.

Sooo cute and amazing and well-written. Anastasia will always have a place in my heart.

Gorgeous.

Amazin story! :D

I loved this. This was beautiful, the flow was perfectly paced and I loved your voice. The tiny feeling of detachment just added to its beauty.

Nicely written!

This was marvelous. Simply marvelous. You have Anyway down to a tee.

This story embodies pretty much EVERYTHING I love about you and the way you write. For one, you can do things like using italicized letters instead of conventional speech indicating punctuation, and it doesn't bother me. Also the fact that you know about the jewels sewn into the royal women's corsets is just... I tell people about that all the time, and they just don't believe me, or SOMEthing... and lastly (not actually, but I really should at least PRETEND I have plans of going to sleep at this late hour.); your voice. Your stories can still make my heart ache and catch, and I'm never dissatisifed. I can read some of your stories for things I have NO knowledge of and still enjoy them. Just thought I'd share that with you.

Gosh this was a good read! I love it all! The way you paralleled Dimitri's thoughts with his words and all the situations was wonderfully done. Keep on writing! ;D

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

You've ruined all the othe Anastasia fics I had queued up to read.

You're so good that you suck.

This is great, and so, so magical. I have searched for Anastasia fics on a whim, and I didn't expected anything good, to be honest - but this isn't good, it's just great. Dimitri's refusal to believe, his thoughts and emotions - you portrayed it in a heartbreaking way. And messing historical fact into it, it makes this all so bitter, but so much more true and- It's much more.

I'm enchanted.

that was exquisite, i don't know what else to write except thankyou for this beautiful piece of art.

Wow. I've never read a fic for Anastasia and I highly doubt I'll ever read one this good ever again.

You've ruined me for all other Anastasia fics!

Truly original while staying true to the story. I loved it.
