Hell's first Icicle 2009-05-16 . chapter 12
i just read through the first three in this arc, and i guess it's safe to say that you have a new addict. i loved each and every character in all of these stories, and can't wait to read more. are you still continuing with the next story anytime soon?

That was a great ending to a lovely story. I enjoyed reading this one as well. Thanks so much for sharing. Please keep up the good work!

This is really sweet! I like how you've subtly entwined the normal alongside a semi-hidden magical world in this series and how it is treated as almost incidental while the main focus remains on the romance. Lovely story.

Well, that was awesome. i had just finished reading your other fic, Velvet Ribbon, and I was hoping you had written more in the same universe, and much to my suprise, you had. Anyways, this fic was wonderful, I love how you described Vane's inner turmoil and his confusion over Miguel. And now I'm off to see what else you've written.

It's a shame more people haven't reviewed. What I tend to do if I really like an author is read all their stories and then only comment on one. XD It's a bad habit but I really like to have something to give the author, you know? I've decided that I might as well just say hi and I appreciate your stories. Which I do. I liked this whole series alot, and your Special Ops one and I'm sure I'll like all the others!

Anyway, thanks so much for taking time to write these stories, I love them! And I'm definitely hoping for more.

SINCERELY,
Wit

First off, I like how all of these are coming together- even though you claim your writing is more for fun, it still shows like someone who wants this story published. In effect, I mean you don't skip the small stuff and stay on track.
I found the interacting with past characters from Velvet Ribbon served to illuminate where this story is going in the series overall, giving the reader a firmer concept of what is to come. It also proved your prowess at writing, as even though you left Imrad and Marcus behind you still wrote them completely in character. It means you have a close bond with your characters, which makes them all the more believable.
I thought the pillowtalk at the end of Ch.12, and throughout the story actually, was the smallest bit overdone in the cheese-factor. It was sweet and made me giggle a bit, and I did enjoy it for how cute it was. Maybe this was what you were going for, but either way it wasn't terrible. Another way I could interpret it, however, is Vane opening up and being vulnerable and so that is why it seemed awkward to me.
And of course, the patiently waited-for sex scene proved worth the wait. Not overdone, not vulgar or overly visual, it gave enough detail to let the reader's imagination do the rest. Lots of cookies for that, but then I should have expected it from the wonderful Dragonfly (which will always be my favorite!). Basically, awesome story!
(On a sidenote, sorry for my absence. All work and no play makes me a dull girl...)

Hey, I really liked this story, I found it very realistic. and I love the characters, especially the extreamly confused Vane...and of coarse the ever persistant Miguel. But I think I liked Imz the best.
Futile Faith 2008-08-18 . chapter 12
I...wow. I was hoping for more of this verse after reading (and re-reading) Velvet Ribbon, and this was more than I could have ever hoped for. I have to say, you are an amazing writer; the way you write emotion is especially...breathtaking, I suppose is the beat way I can describe it. Can't wait for more of your works XD
Qui 2008-08-17 . chapter 12
aww, thanks for that. a nice and tidy end to wrap everything up was just what this story needed.
RebelVampire 2008-08-17 . chapter 12
YAY...you updated twice today and Miguel and Vane are finally togather, now all Vane has to do is give Miguel the necklace

D'aww.

I'm sorry I don't leave in-depth reviews. The main reason is that I'm better at criticism than compliments, and so every time I leave a critiquing review, I feel as though I have crushed the dreams and aspirations of the author. (Sometimes it's true, too).

Generally; you've got a few grammatical mistakes, though I didn't see any in this chapter (good job!) but everyone makes those.

and (I hate to say it) but it seems like your having the characters be magic-users of some sort is...utterly unnecessary. It made sense in the first story, none in the one about the umbrella, and here it felt like you had just suddenly remembered it and stuffed it into the last chapter (and the closet in this one), but there doesn't really seem to be much point to it.

I figure it comes out more in your head, and just fails to make it into the actual writing, but that would be the biggest problem I see with your writing. (hope that does not crush any dreams of yours)

Don't worry about not responding. I don't respond to all my reviews. I don't know what to say half the time in responses, and thus do not fault hose who do not respond to me.

Anyhow, lovely chapter, it's nice to see that everything is finally working out for them,
cheers,
Qui
