Who says old fics can't be good ones? This story was fantastic, although I must admit it was kind of short for my tastes, I had an incredible time reading it from start to finish. Really felt like Tien was doing this, as if I was watching this right out of the anime. Thanks for the read, I loved it.

I know it's been years, but I wanted to leave a thank you note for this wonderful, well-thought, completed story for a wonderful character that has sadly been pushed to the side as the sagas continued.

SIGH! That was beautiful. All of your stories are amazing. I didn't know crap about Tien until I read this, haha. Brilliant!

...wow. I think this is the best DBZ fic I have ever read. I'm not kidding. I'll be looking into your other fics.

Wow. That was great. I found it unbelievably inspiring. It was extremely well written. Full of emotion...there were times when I almost cried. And that's saying something considering I haven't cried in years...well, with the exception of that time in May at an anime convention when I poisoned myself...but that doesn't count! I felt like my stomach acid was leaking into my blood stream and vital organs! Oy, lovely image. But anyway, back to the fic. Basically, other than one minor inaccuracy (the eternal dragon cannot bring back people if they have been dead for more than a year), almost definitely the best fic I've ever read. Nice work. You should do more Tien romance fics. Or better yet, review mine when I get it posted. It's called "My Silent Angel". I would like to be scrutinized(spelling?) by a master!

I myself am a LunchxTien fan but I didn't seem to mind in this story. The drama I think is what got me the most, it seemed so real. It got me all nervous and anticipating because of the language you used. I loved how Tien's relationship with Isabel was very indecisive. Other than that all I can say is you come up with wonderful plots and characters, and the cannon characters didn't seem out of their roles. Nice writing style, too. I am looking out to see what you give us next.

Ha ha! That was a very strange chapter, and interesting as well since it is leading up to Tien's reason for being in that situation. For some reason I found myself laughing despite the obvious discomfort that was occuring. I think I shall enjoy this story. I will review the following chapters too, to be sure.

This was another brilliant fanfic by a superb author. I can't wait to read the next one. All of the ones I've read by you are all good. And I mean that.

Thankyou for writing this chapter. This a pretty tasteful example of what a "morning after" scene might be like, without being explicit about it. (_) Lotsa Love, Loretta

This was beautiful, amazing, wonderful! I LOVE Tien (in fact, I love ALL the DBZ characters) and the fact that someone wrote such a great story about him leaves me totally ecstatic. I am completely blown away by your amazing writing talent. You put so much detail into your descriptions I can actually visualise everything going on (the reactions of characters, everything). I wish I had your writing skills.
Fact is there is absolutely nothing to criticize. I am so happy someone finally gives Tien the credit he deserves.
I loved Tinoco, she was such a cutie hopefully, she’ll turn out a kick-ass fighter, the DBZ show certainly could use a few female fighters. She seems very promising, though, with her telekinetic abilities. _
I LOVED Isabel (a beautiful pic by your sister, please give her my compliments). You didn’t make her into a Mary Sue (that’s what I always do with my female OC’s okay, even with my male OC’s -.). A woman who can kick ass, stand her ground AND looks gorgeous. What’s there not to like (especially because I think Tien more than deserves a family)? _
Also, I’m a sucker for romance and happy endings, and this story had it all.:squeals immaturely and hugs the author I’m very happy that everything turned out all right. I have to compliment you on all the amazing details about Tien’s and Chaozu’s life. I wasn’t familiar with most of their background and I’ve watched DB 5 times or so.:sigh
I am a fervent (jeesh, I just hope I’m using this adjective in the right context) Tien and Lunch fan, however, but this story didn’t disappoint me (heck, I like OFC’s if they are well written, and yours certainly was). I got hooked on the pairing because Lunch was my favourite DB female character (until Chi-Chi showed up) and I just adore Tien (ain’t he just too cute?). But mostly the thanks for it goes to Lady Tien and her site, where I found all the beautiful doujinshi scans of Lunch and Tien that’s what got me hooked on the pairing the most, so I was a bit reluctant to see them paired up with anyone else (although I am VERY open when it comes to diverse pairings).
I apologise for the rant I always get carried away with my reviews. Also, excuse any grammar mistakes I probably made. I’m a native Slovenian.
Take care,

PS: Would it ever be possible to perhaps persuade you into writing a Yamcha fic?:bats eyelashes PLEASE?

Thanks so much for the back ground on choatzu and Tien I was so lost! I'm writing my own fic, I hope you don't mind that I cut and pasted that one part of their past. Sorry, but I need it! It was killing me that I didn't know! Tien and chaotzu are my favorite team. Thanks again, when I post, you will be thanked emmensly!

Tien is a very underdeveloped and neglected character. It's about time someone writes a good fic for him. Good job man.

"Which would probably be about as easy as coercing Vegeta into wearing a tutu and pirouetting.*blinks* Yes, well, thank you for that image, from two or so chapters ago. It's...interesting, to say the least. Tien's line "Let yourself love me, Isabel" last chapter was one of the few romantic lines I've come across lately that make me warm inside. Wonderfully romantic. Hell, *I* was melting inside all over the guy when he said that, so it's a good thing Isabel decided to let herself love him, or else I would've found someway to steal him.
Really, another great fic. I'll rate this one up with my other favorites of your stuff, as in with Goku and Bulma, Humpty Dumpty, and Soledad. I'm not gonna stick it in my favorites, because you're pretty much taken over that particular list already. [I've four of your fics in there at the moment.
Isabel's rage at Tien in whichever-chapter-it-was was well-done, the woman deserved a temper tantrum. Though I think it seems a bit...odd...that everything terrible that happened in her life was Tien's fault. That part didn't quite ring true to me, but that might just be me. But anyway, Isabel's job as a bouncer...very cool. She's a tough woman.

Oh, did I mention how much I liked the scene where Tien tells Tinoco her third eye is beautiful? Yeah, that was good too. Pretty much all of the Tien/Tinoco interaction was wonderful stuff. In this wonderful fic of yours, their scenes together just stood out that much more. And Tinoco was adorable. Um, I think I've run out of things to say. No wait, one last thing: more Humpty Dumpty. I want to see more of that adorable kit. _

That scene between Tinoco and Tien was gorgeous. Had me leaning in closer to the screen and grinning. Tinoco is so funny with her games with her telepathy, and then 'Agh… I love ya, kid.
She squeaked. "You just said it again! came up, and I melted. Warmth and fuzzyness by the bushel, and its the best kind too, being platonic WAFF. Lovely scene. *next chapter*

So, wait...maybe it would help if I understood the Black Garlic Mist deal. Does it help people randomly land in bed together? Intense chapter, lots of Tien-angst. Makes me want to go on right away and read the next chapter, but *wanders off to find information on this Mist*
