I do not have /words/ for how amazingly detailed and rich and just plain excellent this is.
Okay, I found some. But not enough. <3 Wow.

See, my own feelings on this can be described thusly: WHEEEEEEE NINJAS.

I'm pretty big on ninjas.

Also, thank you so much for the kind words!

that is just great and so much fun! Love how you translated them into space ninjas!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun, turning them into space ninjas. :)

OMG that was freaking amazing. You always do great AUS, but this one was even better than usual. Also, thank you for more Foreman fic! And the hints at Cuddy/Foreman, intentional or not (I can never find anything for this pairing, so gen or ship, this fic was awesome).

Thanks! I do love a good AU and this one was SO MUCH FUN. And yes, Foreman is sorely underloved in fandom. The Cuddy/Foreman was unintentional, but if you see it there, then I welcome it. :)

NINJAS IN SPACE OMG. Seriously, this is amazing, the way you've taken this cracktastic premise to produce something so rich and beautiful, *so* Foreman, bringing up real-world issues like this: Foreman does not have a planet he calls "home", no culture but that of the spaceports. But there was a wood figure on his parents' dresser, carved into the shape of man, a walking stick in one hand, its face tilted up toward a non-existent sky. Your Cuddy-lao-shi is simply made of awesome. Brilliant!

WHHHHEEEE NINJAS. And yeah, I really enjoyed building this world, this awesome training ground for space ninjas, and then fitting the characters in.

I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
