Man, I haven't logged into this site in quite a long time. But when I saw that the final chapter to this fanfic had been posted, I leaped into action! All I can say is...wow. I've been reading this fic from the beginning. It's strange, because I feel as though I have changed and matured over the years, which has made me interpret this fanfic differently every time I read through it again. The intensity you throw into every word and every description has made this an unforgettable story. All the relationships between the characters are so real, I can't help but feel gut reactions to everything they are experiencing. I think you ended this story well. Vegeta seemed at peace. He seems wiser, and I feel like after the horrors he faced, he would have a new sense of humility added to his character. It almost seems like he obtained the same wisdom and calmness that Dende has. Which is a very interesting concept. Perhaps the arrogant prince is turning into a knowing, experienced guardian who has seen some shit in his time. I truly love this story and I'm so happy to see that it ended on a positive note. Congrats on finishing this epic journey!  

I had to reread the last 6 chapters to remember exactly what had happened its been so long! I must say,  it's always sad to read the end of a story, especially when you've waited for so long for it, so I was disappointed that this was the last chapter, but not disappointed in the chapter itself. I know you must be feeling pretty good, ten years is a hell of a long time to work on something, so I'm happy for you.  As for the ending,  I really enjoyed it. Vegeta is not so weak that he would let his past destroy his future, this we know,  so I loved the bit about him realizing that although things will never be the same,  that doesn't mean they can't still be good. I wish there was a little bit more about them coming around to loving each other,  but I totally understand how that would be a draining few more chapters. I read about what that girl Sara had written,  and if think that if she stuck around,  even she wouldn't have hated the ending.  

Anyways,  so happy to read this,  thank you for finishing! Thank you thank you! I really enjoy your writing style...

I still check for the update on this fanfic. Though, I am not one to talk since I haven't updated my own fic in over a year. But this has been one story that has had me hooked from the beginning. It's awesome and I hope to see how this rollercoaster of a story comes to a close.

LOVE this story and can't wait until the next chapter.

I hate that the last chapter was so short but I loved how you summed up things to Vegeta. I never thought about it that way before, that Goku was killing his sons because he believed Vegeta would fix it. So sad to hear there's only one more chapter,  too, but satisfying, too. Im super excited to read it!  Thanks for writing!

Mind getting blown all over the place, and Dende giving out much needed counsel to Goku & Vegeta is a blessing Lord knows they both need it desparately!

...I demad that Dende show up for some nice cuddle time with Vegeta.  Immediately.  ;)

I love the complexity of this story.  Keep up the awesome work!

Yaaaaass! Goku's not saying it right but yes! I love it finally!  The "confrontation" is right! So emotional a scene,  I'm glad everyone is back and I'm glad Goku is trying to talk this out with him.  I like that you switched perspectives and explained that all those times vegeta thought he saw Goku, the real Goku, that in a way,  he really did.  There's still a lot of confusion in how it all makes sense,  but I see it coming together.  So happy that you updated,  I was missing this story.  And after how dark is been, I'm happy to read the After math.  Why hasn't Dene said anything yet?  Ah I can't wait to read more! 

Thank you!  TristaML
