I'm so happy you explained the whole infectious bite thing! I had that question since the first story, but not are you good at tying up loose ends. The dialogue between Izeri and his shival is great. It's really funny and I love reading it.

Damn son

NO I DONT WANT THINGS TO FALL APART PLEASE PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER.
Also wtf is up with Prof Dark, he's so creepy. At first I thought he was trying to warn Jak about Zaiden but now it just seems like he's trying to get kids alone and like eat their soul or something.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BEFORE EVERYTHING GOES TO HELL

For some reason I really like it when you describe what foods each character is eating. I think it's a nice little window into their personality, almost.

10 bucks says Charias actually hit his funny "bone"

"You look...gallant." Smooth, Izeri, smooth.

OH MY GOD CHARIAS FINALLY GOT HIS HUG. I'd be grumpy too if no one had hugged me for ten years. Grumpy might be an understatement but oh my gooood that hug.

"It would rip your skin right off." What a charmer XD

"No one is interested in me." Noooooo, that isn't true he just needs a hug. Poor shark D:

I have found my new OTP. I love seeing this side of Charias, and his banter with Izeri is just too damn cute for words. Thank you for blessing us with this story.

THIS IS SO CUTE. (I hope Moonsinger ends up ok in this story)

SHIT DUDE, IZERI'S A SHIVAL? THAT EXPLAINS A LOT BUT STILL HOLY FUCK.
Anyways, this is super cool and I hope we finally find out what Prof Dark wanted to say to Jak (unless that already happened in the other story and I missed it)

I really liked this story, I hope you will continue with it one day! 3

Oh my gosh I LOVE this story! Broken wings was cute too, but Moonlight is so sweet and touching and adorable at times it's just...urgh. Words. I cried like twice reading this story because of how emotional I got. And I couldn't stop reading for the past few days (either BW or moonlight)! They're soooooo good! And izeri and charias are such a great couple, even considering everything they've been through. But their cute romantic moments...omg, makes me want to draw them!

But anyways, I really live the development, the plot, and the soul of this story. It seems that, since it's a second perspective on BW, you've had a lot more time to think about scenes, flesh out the world. Plus the new events and detail put into old characters make it seem like a whole new story! And the editations you've made to moonlight throughout, with me having read it all in one go up until this point, gave me the impression that this was a very cohesive story with a flowing plot and all. Never once was I bored with it either, because even the scenes I know from BW feel different in Izeri's perspective.

Which is another thing. For some reason, I've found Izeri's viewpoint to be kind of relatable. He had the same suspicions and opinions on Jak, Zaiden, and other characters that I kind of developed reading BW...maybe it's because Jak was just naive, or I'm that kind of person, but I like Izeri's POV. And I really felt for him during his most stressful times, like when he finally had to admit he was a wereshival, and when he beat up that one fairy and fucked up his status. Plus, it's nice (or not so nice, considering) to finally tie up those lose ends and learn what happened to Sticky, Moonsinger, and Dark (I'm not religious, but sweet Jesus have mercy).

Overall, this is a lovely story, and I can't thank you enough for writing it! And take your time, of course, but I can't wait for more!

PS: now I really wanna draw fanart of those two. I'll have to dig back and see how they're described. Or at the very least, I'll draw a shival. Horses are rad, dude.
