FanficRecs Murex's review
This is a well-written and very enjoyable fanfic. Recommended, if only because it makes Mao an even more sympathetic character without turning him into a Draco In Leather Pants. Occasional grammatical errors, and it sometimes uses songs from other anime in the story note , if that bugs you.
FanficRecs The Letter D's review
A worthwhile read that shows just how difficult life is for Mao. Brilliantly conceptualizes the actions Mao must have taken in order to reach the point he did in the series, as well as fleshing out his character with an assortment of interesting and original details. Flashbacks to C.C. so far are written in a touching, romantic flavor, which might be a turn off to some. A few chapters have also been a bit slow as they are designed to set up for what comes later. Plenty of humor, action and angst though.

Also, the author has a habit of responding to reviews note in the Author Notes, if that bothers you. Also, the chapter where Mao falls asleep and starts dreaming is absolutely hilarious.
