I must say, "I am surprised it didn't happen sooner, and I am glad that it did happen."I have always enjoyed the stories I have come across written by you , Rukis. The story was no different. The conflict had me gripped from the beginning, but I began to worry whether or not it would catch up with Tulimak.in the span of a single month his world head of an inverted a number of times. With how well he seemed to be taking it, I wondered if the shock of it all would ever catch up to him. Yes the cracks begin to show after his initial sense of betrayal when he learned about his friends past, yet he quickly seemed to recover. Things were irrefutably different, but there was a consistency that remained. As things grow even more dire, you bring it full circle in a satisfying and grounded manner. From the heart conversations, to the shattering of his world, and finally on to the beautiful and absurd love making---it all just fits together so well. The actions and their choices have a real weight to them with the consequences made manifest. Thank you, this chapter with a delight to read in more ways than one.

2020-05-01 03:51:59 +0000 UTCAs one with social anxiety, I appreciate the warning for those with anxiety disorders, but I've read "Heretic", OTBP, and "Legacy". So, I have a feeling what I'm in for. I can also relate to Tulimak about that anxiety. Tulimak's speech to Finn about the tribe's land being claimed reminds me of one of the worst times and places in history to live in. I see you as a voice for those forced to kiss someone's ass. The line "People like things completely different from them", hits it home for me, too.

2020-02-14 00:54:15 +0000 UTCYou've found a very compelling reason for Tulimak having an excuse to follow Finn down south without it feeling forced. The love scene i have to say is one of the best you've done to date, it feels very intimate, sweet and down to earth. Having said that i do really really hope you don't end up killing off Finn at some point. The slow build up in their relationship feels genuine and i know you like your protagonists to suffer because it makes/builds an interesting character. But i am really hoping this won't end up like Shiva/Grant.

2020-02-11 02:28:54 +0000 UTCReally great and tender chapter. I really feel sorry for the Otterfa and his kin. They are in a difficult situation however Finn with his legal knowledge might be able to help. I am sure with Otterfa's keen nose the previous night activities will not have gone unnoticed.. And I am sure that he will spot that Tulimak is 'in love' even if he himself does not know it.

2020-02-11 01:55:46 +0000 UTCAs someone who suffers from moderately bad anxiety attacks, you portrayed it very well with Tulimak. His raw desire to protect the ones he love is something I feel myself a lot, and the inability to protect them all the time can be utterly destructive. Very well done Rukis.
