Hey! It's Rosalia from Fanworks. I have arrived to mibba to find another Zacky father story to tug at my heart strings. I absolutely love this already. My favorite moment thus far I have to say is the father/son hug. That was all I wanted ever since they first met and when it finally happened I really wanted to yell and scream in victory, but alas, my family was asleep :(
I love the way you develop both Lysander and Zacky's characters. The shock that Zacky goes through when finding out about him, the awkward encounters between them, Lysander not wanting to burden a father he has never met, just everything you put in your work about their feelings is just so spot on and genuine I don't know how anyone would dislike this story. It is so believable and easy to visualize as scenes happen and I am really enjoying that about this story. Kudos to you because going from reading Second Chance (one of my all time favorites EVER) to reading this, I can see how much better of a writer you have gotten as if I wasn't jealous already lol.
Favorite things that have happened thus far since I am mashing about six chapters into one review: the fact that both Zacky and his dog already are protective of Lysander! Love the name by the way and it was a total 'aw' moment. Secondly, I loved how nonchalant Lysander was while punching a guy in the face. He is my new hero. That was BA to the max.
I want to find Dakota! I know she will fulfill my dreams of just slamming into Zacky and giving him the biggest hug ever upon meeting him. That is the dumbest reason, I am aware but it needs to happen. I also want her back because Lysander misses her and he loves her, but mainly because I want them to be a happy family. I am weird, this I know. I should care about this boy who lost his twin, I sort of do, but I'm a sucker for the father/child relatio0nship.
My only suggestion is to get Gena's take on things. I feel she is kind of being left out. While I know she isn't Lysander's mom and he maybe leary of mother-like figures with the loss of his own mother, I feel that she needs to be included at least a little bit more because she is obviously a big part of Zacky's life and of course his son is also;therefore, it is critical that they get along and I wish to see how that goes. This probably won't happen for a while though because the most important thing is to get to know his own father and then hopefully things fall into place. Also, there is the question of how she responds to finding all this out about her husband. How he has a family that is in a way without her. I am interested to get inside her mind and see what is going on. I am totally fine with whatever you decide to do because it is turning out utterly amazing so far and I am totally addicted. Impeccable job!
I actually hadn't even thought of them getting the fans involved, but that's definitely a good idea. (I mean, we're pretty crazy... and a good number of us are willing to do just about anything for those boys.) I really hope they can make some headway soon.
As I've said, I really love this story. Can't wait for more!
