Aw. That was so cute!

I liked this. It was different from your other stories in that it gave a bit more depth to the characters, I think. Not that I don't like the others, I've just made my way through all your one-shots _ When I should be studying for my finance exam...

Oh well! My take on it is that the Goddess was aware that Tam wanted so badly to live, that she took the soul of Rin, who wanted so badly to die, as the sacrifice in place of Tam and allowed Tam a second chance to live in Rin's place.

When Rin's father said the whole killing his mother thing, I interpreted it as his mother died in childbirth.

Looking at all the other reviews and opinions, my take on it is so different!... And I like it better

Thanks for a good story )

one of my favorites.

happy holidays and keep writing.

This story is sheer genious. The characters are wonderful, the plot is intriguing, and I really liked how you never explained exactly why Tam is now randomly in the body of Rin. It was also interesting how you left the story open to interpretation. The story takes on a different spin if you view it as Tam having gone into shock after somehow killing his mother when he was little and his other life as a sacrifice being a delusion. Either way you interpret this story, it's still good. I loved it.

I can't stop reading this, it is so good!

this was really good! a strange tale that is woven through mistaken idnetity! truly fascinating!

sort of an odd place to end, but sweet nonetheless.

That was a wonderful sory, I liked it alot :) Thank you for sharing it.

Lami./

I really enjoyed this!

its kinda late for me to read this..and review it now..but who cares! i like your story alot!..

but in case of me being an airhead..hehe..i kinda confuse with the story as in Tam, Tamrin or Rin in that matter is the same rite?..he is using Tamrin as the real name so meaning the Tam and Rin is just an escape or what?..is he really a sacrifices for god or you just see it as a guy that do the whole suicide thing?..

I loved it! I'm so glad to see Tam finally happy!

:D I gobbled up this story. I think the idea was ingenious. There are really a lot of interpretations to this story. My interpretation is that Tamrin had accidentaly killed his mother when he was little and fell into a blank stupor where he believed he was meant to be a "sacrifice" because of the shock of what he'd done.

The characterizations were great, and the pacing was wonderful. :D I applaud you.

I like this, it's cute and sweet. And also interesting.

Strange but marvelous story.

... I am such a loser. I can't believe that I hadn't left a review _ Er. Well, to explain:

I love this story. I read it once when I was tired, and later couldn't remember where I'd read it, so searched for a good while before I found it again. (And read it again. Of course.) As of about a month or so ago I finally printed out a copy that I keep in a binder of stuff that I read as bedtime stories. So, uhm, the long and short of this is, this story absolutely ROCKS.

I love the premise - a boy given another chance at life - but given a sort of 'fixer-upper' sort of life - the life of a boy who was definately not well-loved by those around him. I love the unfairness of it all - how Yasel has already determined him to be unchangably indifferent, and thus treats him as the 'Rin' he's convinced that Tam is. I love Tam's realization of his purpose - how he can heal the people. Most of all, though, I love the changes; I love how in the end, Tam is truly Tamrin. I love how he tells the truth while telling a story; I love how Yasel finally understands, and I love how everything looks like it will work out in the future.

Basically I love it all.

So just... yeah. If you ever get around to reading this... just feel the love, m'kay? And if you ever want fanart, just drop me a line and tell me so. #_#
