Haaachoo! *Koff koff*
I'll get into more detail when I'm better, because I've got the flu and it is trying to invade my lungs for another nifty round of bronchitis, but for now I'll say excellent chapter. I can't say I enjoy Goku's attempts at being dominant ; but Vegeta has some things he's still got to learn. Jog my memory but has Goku actually seen his kids in person yet?
As for overthinking things....I've never had too much of a problem doing that sort of thing for my own personal use, there is also nothing wrong with drawing a line in the sand and saying "It deviates from the manga here on these issues; deal with it". It is not your fault you started this story before those things were revealed. For all we know Whis is still part of a race that Zeno roped some members into service. (Until, again, they say otherwise.) These Universes are a pretty big place.
I don't, however, get why the Gods let someone like Arale run loose. XD Is there a God of Warped Humor? Lol (I liked the Arale episode.)
If anything I'd think you'd gain readers. At least the ones who like good story line. I was so excited seeing this updated on my way to work this morning. Vegeta is going to have to learn, stubborn guy, but he's been through a lot. Goku will need to be careful. Great job as always!
Oh no Vegeta! I can't wait to see where this next chapter goes. I've been addicted to your sorry for a while now lol keep up the great work!
Now that I've had some more sleep (super sleep deprived this past weekend; very busy at work!)...just want to say keep it up; I can't wait for more. Not used to seeing Vegeta faint all over the place in the manner he is doing now.
That double Galick Gun by Trunks and Vegeta was one of my favorite scenes, ever.
As for Whis, I really like that "bromance" as you referred to it.. It may be one of the "duties" of an angel to be neutral, but that is just that...a "duty". It can't change how they feel about things. It could just be that they were that race of beings that Zeno roped into being guardians for the gods.
The immediate defeat of Beerus by Vegeta and Goku meant that there wasn't exactly a reason for Whis to have to go dormant, because the replacement was already there and done.
It may be why when Elder Kai died and gave his life for Goku back in Z, that Beerus did not die. There was a second active Supreme Kai already there. It may be that when the main Supreme Kai is indisposed, but not dead, another Kai can take his place.
I think I'm overthinking things a bit....but oh well.
Excellent chapter! Vegeta needs to let go of his wariness. He isn't alone this time.
Not a nag, just a wave to say I hope to read the next chapter soon! I can't wait! (Really. I haven't been so hooked on a series in a long, long time. You have an exceptional talent.)
By the way...I've seen Super 63, and while I won't spoil anything for others, I will say that there is a rather critical piece of information in there you might want to know about Whis. I don't see how this would interefere with your story in any way, but is important to know.
Wow. I don't even know where to start! I'm filled with more emotions than I know how to describe to you! Excellent, excellent job...and a flippin' shame that there will be a longer wait till the next update. I do hope that they have some quiet time (so to speak) to let both Vegeta and Goku have the pregnancy they dreamed of. If Whis has their upcoming twins, they will always be nearby. I do hope at least one will be a girl.
That said, the range of emotions Whis showed here was absolutely terrific. I felt everything pretty much as he felt it. And I felt that Whis was exactly right about the Kais taking too much non-involvement with their Universe.
It's just me, but if I were Whis I'd wanted to have cried (maybe it's just because personally, I have not cried in a LONG time, not even after Dad died) if I'd been remembering what I had lost before. He's lived with pain for too long. Even a deep relationship cannot completely replace what he lost, what made him stop giving a damn, once upon a time...but it is the start of something that can be just as profoundly fulfilling.
Whis with a deadened heart wasn't really living. Nobody who shuts themselves off that much is really living. They are merely surviving. It's about time he lived again, just as it is about time that Goku and Vegeta in your story are finally together. Again, though, this is just how I am interpreting things....I hope you get more writing done!
Some things finally coming to a head! I'm still very curious to know how their new status will work and whether or not they are going to have to eventually fight Whis. There's a lot going on here, lots to think about. Thank you for the prompt update!

So I have to tell you normally I dont like yaoi, it just not my cup of tea and I really hate m-preg stories. However, I really like this one. I have actually been following it since before whis showed up to take them to beerus' planet and I just now realized how to leave a review. I have to admit even though I do not think of either goku or vegeta as gay or even bi I do like how you have done this. They are sweet together. I actually feel really bad for gohan because in reality all he really wants is for vegeta to love him back. Beerus was creepy but your reasoning makes perfect sense cause in super and in BOG and reserrection f he was hilarious but your right in reality he would be a terrifying person, all that power and a skwed moral compass so he does it at a whim. Scary. I love whis, he is amazing. Anyway keep up the good work and I look forward to the next chapter.
