Oooh, very interesting! Intriguing! And you made me want more! How very delightful an unexpectedly sharp and cutting. It's an excellent picture - with just this small piece you've painted a vivid portrait of a darker world and hinted at so very many different possibilities, truths, and outcomes. Fantastic!

Kudos to you!

Loved this, never read something like it, I'm hooked. Hope you keep going.

I like the flipped "what if?" scenario and how you adapted the Auphe side to fit Niko. Maybe we'll get lucky and you'll write another little something in this verse? Regardless I enjoyed it. :)

This idea most definitely intrigues me. I like it :)

Wow ... this is very clever idea. I always love to read A/U stories, and this one is fantastic! I'm excited for the next installment. Great work!
