I just came across this fic, and I'm in awe of your writing skills. This is brilliant writing, that I loved so much that I've just read and re read the whole thing twice. And each time I find myself appreciating different parts of your writing ability.

The subtlety and depth of the story, the vividness of you all too real characters... it just blew me away. Also, the way you conveyed so much in such a short story is just amazing. I fell in love with Zaida and confess to tearing up over this story. *bows low*
