So many nice fanfics posted tonight. XD
I really loved this one, Guy intrigues me with how maturely he handles himself. But I guess one always wonders if he's really thinking something else deep inside. I've always pondered just how Guy managed to put up with taking care of both Lukes, having to care and play with them as if nothing ever happened to him.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is how Guy really was and that's what makes him so interesting.

That aside, this is well written and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I really liked the 'eighteen kisses' bit. It was quite cute. :D
Thank you for posting this!

Thank you! It's interesting to go and see how Guy's feelings changed from "Kill Luke" pre-game to "Protect Luke" during game. Plus, I highly doubt that Duke Fabre would have been so stupid not to see that this kid that just joined his household looks a lot like the family he slaughtered in Hod...

I always thought he was aware because he knew that sword in the manor was Guy's in that Gardios Blade sidequest. Either that or I'm recalling incorrectly.
Which would make it that much more...eerie because he then knowingly let him around Luke. :o

Eerie is good. Eerie means more fodder for me.

And I've never, y'know, finished the Jewel of Gardios sidequest. I'm doing all the sidequests in my second playthrough and I'm just up to after the hair scene in Yulia City.
