This is so awesome.

I love the reasons for why Rinoa changes nearly as much as how the changes occur. You also write the neatest magic mechanics.

♥ Thanks! This was as much of an excuse to write magic nerd meta as an excuse to write Rinoa.

I came here from ff_recs, and I am really glad I did, because this fic is one of the best Rinoa-centric stories I've read. The atmosphere is really good. It's a little chilling, especially the last line, and the overall pacing is really good and keeps the reader interested. I also like that even though the language is pretty simple, it's very graceful, and the stream of thought is just very well managed, so great job!

Thanks so much! I find the Sorceress-Rinoa thing very chilling (at least potentially) and so I'm really glad you found it so. <3

Oh my! This is very cool, very well done. I know I am *very* late for this, and I'm also a stranger (*cough*) but I happened to find this on a rec community I was browsing and wanted to comment.

I'm a bit of a dork, because I like to adapt things from games to work in a fiction universe, which is why this was especially nice for me. You did an excellent job.

Thanks so much! I love comments, even late ones. :P

Playing with game mechanics and making them fiction-friendly is one of my favorite things to do, so I'm glad you liked that part of this. :)

Hi! Found this through a link from Renay on Dreamwidth and wanted to say that I think it's fantastic, especially in its form of connected snippets. I love this Rinoa - and in general I love your descriptions of magic and junctioning and GFs, which have the scary beauty that (I now realise) they should. :D

LOVE it!!

I always liked Rinoa, but didn't really consider how she felt about suddenly being pumped full of GFs and magic that she had probably never used before in her life. Thank you for conveying this side of her; you did a wonderful job!!
By the way, I like your style -- the disjointed pieces that all fit together in the end.
