I LOVED this. I love every single one of your stories that I have read. Will definitely be purchasing Twin Lives Twisted when it comes out in hard copy.

I really like this story. Your description of the swordplay and the fights in the tournament were so interesting to read. In the beginning, I thought that Cullen was the guard that Aran was fighting to have returned to the kingdom. I thought that he and Faolen would start falling in love once Aran realized that he was holding onto the memory of a man he hadn't seen since he was thirteen!
I do liked the way things worked out in the story, though. Although the ending is too abrupt, your story deserves an epilogue. I would love to meet Cullen and maybe hear how he and Faolen met.

AWESOME! Read it start to finish today and absolutely loved it. In regards to your final author's note, I think as a story it ends very nicely here, but I would also love to read anything more you can give me. Love to meet Cullen, love to see their relationship develop, you could write fifteen whole more chapters worth. In any case, thanks so much for posting. Great work!

I liked it :D but it somehow didn't seem like a complete ending, so maybe a little bit more? :)

Considering how you named the story ''The Tournament'' (though I know you've been searching for a better title, but the tournament does span through the majority of the chapters), you should leave it here. It feels like an appropriate ending for these two.

Though, if you do want to delve into them meeting Cullen, I believe that would be hard to do appropriately (for the story to have a feeling of a proper closure, without another climax) in only a chapter or two.

And then you would have another ten chapters and the title of your story would (most likely) have to be changed.

Nice work on completing (?) the final chapter and I look forward to more.

I want to meet Cullen! And possibly have some sort of grudging acceptance from Aran's father, but I'm kind of a sucker for happy endings.

And here I was thinking that it was Cullen who used to be the guard...there wasn't much to say that it was Faolen who was the guard.

This is a really enjoyable read.

I half expected that twist- But it was interesting that the name of the prince's bodyguard was never mentioned... Although now I understand why his name was never revealed. :)

hehe, cute twist. I thought that Cullen was Aran's True Love (TM) and that Faolen was acting for him and this was going to turn into a triangle/threesome or something. I think I like what you did better.

Well, I lost the story somewhere along the line and didn';t find it again till now, so that's a major reason why you haven't heard from me.

I want to say that this is the outcome I originally expected, and then something about the way the middle was written made me doubt it, and then . . . so that's an interesting trail of events.

I had a suspicion that he was the guard. I just dont want to assume he is the guy since you didnt give us a lot of information on faolen like his name ( did he change it, or is it his other name?) And/or his personality. My other suspicion is that , you know faolen's friend, is the one. And that the friend send him to find how is aran is, if he still love and such, and to give him up. And maybe fall in love with faolen! ; D but any who, this is much better than I expected! Which is also AWESOOOOOMMME!

Ooooh! I kind of thought that might be what was going on, but I had for some reason decided to push the idea away. I love it!:D
Can't wait for the next chapter now.

Sorry I took a bit long to review the last one, know it sucks not getting reviews, but I was without internet:P

Nice swordplay:D
I was kind of open to the idea that Aran would lose, but I was still a bit ooh when he did, if that makes any sense:P
It could maybe had been a bit more emotional, but then again they are experienced fighters so I guess they know how to focus on the match

I like the detail of the swordfighting. It was interesting. I can guess the emotions behind it. But, it would be nice to see the fight through Aran's eyes and how he felt during and after it in future chapters.

I hope you update soon. I would like you to include some memories of Aran with his great love. I'd like to see what aspects of his love's character he fell in love with.
