i hope it warms you fandom heart that teen krad thought that this was quite literally the pinnacle of western literary achievement - was actually intimidated enough that I almost didn't post the reviews and LMAO LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE NOW, shitposting and salting away. :P
bullet point thoughts:
- cackling forever at 2edgy4me volke; i ... did not realize how prescient i would be with the 'lua has a thing with blood + guts in her fics' thing briefly mentioned in a separate review lmaoooo.
- like the fact you were trying to flesh out ludveck plus lackeys! just finished that part and GOD he was... annoyingly flat for tellius's usually-decent villains. even jarod at least had some personality to him. coughandcouldbehateshippedwithafewpeoplecough >_____>;
- also hilariously amused that this fic was apparently born out of lua's master list of 'things she wanted to see happen more in PoR' and you checked off most of them even in the first four chapters alone. :P though a zihark/soren support would've been neat, actually! only read one other fic that remotely had an interest of sticking them together in the same room - but it didn't quite capitalize on what would be neat about that dynamic, imo - something similar to the shinon abrasiveness, but there's peculiar level of practicality/pragmatisim that they both have on opposite ends of the attitude spectrum (not to mention both technically daeins by blood) that would be SO much fun to play with.
- (you may or may not have made me snort coffee all over my laptop at the shinon reveal given your, ah, other fic with him. :'D )
- the kieran twist is definitely a twist but as rough as it is, i quite like the fact that you unabashedly stuck him in a position where he clearly can't handle the responsibility yet - adds such a humanizing flaw to what I thought was an overly-exaggerated character to the point where it was hard to relate in any way with.
- (........................also is this where lua would stick some guilty pleasure side bastian/renning hints cough cough :P )
