Wow, this is amazing!!

Absolutely stunning story!- this captures everything I love about Kain, his sweetness, his ability to deal with things with the same poise as his comrades, and his strong emotional sensitivity that can't always remain contained. Love it!

[colonel_bastard]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! I've never written Fuery before, but I love the character (he's a total sweetie) and I'm happy to hear I did a good job with him. Thanks for your generous comments!

Very good idea, every little incident tells. Nice work.

[colonel_bastard]

Thanks very much. I had a little trouble with the word count, but I think in the end it did me a favor, keeping the piece short and precise. Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, man, that was nice. And you're very mean to Fuery. XD But the emotions were strong, it explained everything, and it made him a perfect fit in Roy's messed-up little group. Compelling.

I'm going to write a story about how Breda is the only one with no trauma anywhere in his background. >>;;

[colonel_bastard]

Surely you've realized by now that the more I love a character, the meaner I am to them. ^_^ Haha, love the observation about Roy's messed-up little group--- traumatic backgrounds necessary for membership!

And if Breda has no trauma... then why is he so terrified of dogs? *evil grin*

Thanks for reading and commenting, I'm glad you liked it. XD

I know, poor little guy! Thanks for reading and commenting.

very nice. i've always felt sorry for Fuery, he's so sweet it's hard to believe he joined the military.

i like how you show that he can get through a tough event without a big reaction (which is very useful for a number of reasons) but later he feels the pain of the event.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Fuery is such a gentle soul, I worry for him sometimes. Thanks for reading and commenting!
