    I'd just like to say that I am enjoying this. I like the humour and the interaction between the characters. Hope there will be more to the story.

    I'm saying this honestly, this is the best warcraft fic I've ever read. Not just because there's a hunky, hilariously witty orc and elf, but the fact that you make the Warcraft world come alive through your storytelling. Too often I read warcraft stories where the premise is always limited by in-game mechanics, with the same character classes and language barriers and clichés and distance from lore that make it sounds like a story set in a Warcraft the Game World and not the fantasy world of Azeroth. But not with this story. I love how common is used (as it should be) as the lingua franca, and how the elves aren't just expected to speak Orcish. And also how Orcish becomes unique by the hilarious utterings and curses of Malton. Speaking of Malton, I LOVE the way you wrote his character, getting away from the stereotypical portrayal of an orc. His clever toying with the elf captain made me laugh so hard. :D The friendship between Gilvarin and Malton is very endearing, and also I also love the tension (sexual and otherwise) you build between them throughout the story. ALSO you're so mean for leaving that cliffhanger in the latest chapter!! ;) The way you describe HighVale is so vivid and I could really picture the whole scene clearly in my head. I know I've rambled on enough and I'm not sure if any of this even made sense, but I just love what you've done with this story so much, it's professionally written and incredibly engaging. I'm disappointed that it's been discontinued (at least it seems like it has) and I really hope that you decide to finish it! I'd love to see how this turns out! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful piece. :D

    According to your profile, it's probably safe to assume that you're dead, but on the off chance you're not...please come back and write more warcraft fic. This fandom needs more well-written slash. :C

    *looks at update date* you live! Huzzah! does this mean that you're going to update again? Ive been looking forwards to a new chapter of Rippel and Ceald for quite some time, how cruel of you to leave us fans o not one but TWO romantic cliffhangers at once!

    "they'd have to make due" = "they'd have to make do."

    And, well, what a surprise! I don't know if I missed a cue somewhere, but I honestly thought that Malton had dismissed the very obvious "you had drunken sex with Gilveradin" signs as the booze talking. Finding out otherwise was... certainly interesting. I would advise you to go back to that first chapter and make it a bit more ambiguous, if you were intent on surprising the reader with this chapter, or to give more clues if you wanted the readers to figure it out on their own.

    Apparently you haven't updated this in forever, but would you consider doing so? :) I hope so! I love this story! The way the characters meet is great and I love how they bond, their playful friendship and how they're always picking on each other :D Also, so many hilarious moments! Especially Mal's uh, fabrications to the elves xD I love it!!
    Hope you update someday!

    Ive seen this story a thousand times looking for wow slash and always ignored it because it seemed so simple in the description. Boy, did the saying 'Dont judge a book by it's cover' really imply to me! I don't like orcs, wait... I didn't like orcs until now. Your character develop is like crack to me! I utterly adore Malton and enjoy all the personalities in this story. The anticaption of hot Orc/elf smex is just to much when it has a plot! GAH! Iam forever changed into an Orc lover.

    Wow, I just read all of this again. I have to tell you, there are no words that can describe just how jealous I am of the way you write! You have such talent and technique it's actually kind of depressing, lol. Also, I want to say I read your stories without any experience with the MMO game and found them incredible all the same. It really shows just how much effort you put into your writing to bring the world and the lore closer to the neophytes. I love how Malton is such an original character, not the bloodthirsty archetype so commonly found in orcs. He's cunning enough to be able to play dumb when he has to, smart enough to know that resorting to violence would probably get him killed AND it would be exactly what the elves wanted. And Gilveradin is my hero. He's so cold and badass, yet he's got a soft spot for Malton. Definitely one of the best characters I've read in a long time. Random things I liked:

    The goblin waiter's snark was hilarious. "Your meals-and I use that term loosely-" got me laughing HARD. And the friendly banter between Malton and Gilveradin! So natural and pleasant to read. Also, I wish I could try Nuzzrim's Revenge, just to see if it's really THAT bad. I mean, holy mother of SHIT, something that gets you drunk, cauterises wounds and fuels a freaking ROCKET? That's like seven different kinds of awesome.

    Okay, the foreskin bit was, without a doubt, jaw-dropping excellent. I'm a huge fan of little realistic details like that one and holy shit, I actually gawked at my monitor when I read that. However, I'm totally not buying Malton's "oh, I wonder what happened that night?" attitude when he recalls his morning conversation with Gilveradin. There are just too many hints that he (as the person experiencing the flashback) would have picked up on! Otherwise, if he had been that ignorant, the reader wouldn't get to know all the hints that state that oh yeah, those two definitely slept together. Malton's "stupid act" is superbly done. It's really convincing even to the reader! And the part where he has to strip in front of hostile people was actually handled pretty realistically. The embarrassment and then the tiny victory he achieved over those assholes (and by the way, you write excellent assholes. They're all pretty easy to hate, and have actual reasons for their actions! I can't believe how you manage to make even the villains these well-rounded characters).

    It's heart-warming that Malton is so eager to avoid trouble for Gilveradin. Also, I laughed for a good while at the whole "drugged treaty sign" conversation. That, sir, is pure comedy gold. And then there's the sad part, which you somehow manage to make it seem hopeful instead of soul-crushingly depressing. Reading about their hopes and dreams gives them a new dimension. They actually sound like real people, someone you could just bump against in the street (assuming you lived in Azeroth, of course), and Malton's feelings about luck and his own skill sound like what you hear from a lot of people. The riddle was hilarious. Gilveradin is so clever, I almost felt bad for poor Malton. And the quips between them! More comedy gold!

    And here things start to get serious! Malton's insults were really satisfying, especially after having to endure those fucks for so long (take it as a compliment, they really were pretty despicable!). And this is where Gilveradin becomes my hero. Cold, hard badass through and through. I cheered IRL when he broke the bottle and pretty much said "bring it on, bitches." And then the fight, my oh my. Anyone who says action scenes can't be rendered well in written form needs to read this chapter and take notes.

    And then, Summerdrake. Glorious, epic, ridiculously awesome Summerdrake. Anyone THAT icy needs to have a monument built in their honour. And at last! All the teasing finally comes to an end and us faithful readers reap our just rewards! Dude, that was HOT. The whole "I can stop, I really can keep it in my pants... oh shit" scene was both hilarious and exciting. And a perfect cliffhanger, too!

    Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for writing this. It inspired me (along with A Westfall Summer) to give writing a try. And well, uh, that. You're an awesome writer.

    If it were me, I'd probably change it because knowing the name didn't match would drive me nuts. But if it doesn't bother YOU, I think you can leave as is.

    Soooo... update?

    Mmmm 'Varin's a sexy beast with his leet fighting skillz and his towering temper. But I'm still in love with Mal.

    I LOVE the part where Mal is musing about the nature of luck. It was funny and poignant all at once. He's so afraid to even try for his dream, in case it fails. Love him.

    Ahahah omg Malton being deliberately obtuse with the elf was just brilliant. Hee hee and intimidating Hawke with his monster cock... love it! I have never really been hot for orcs (I think we all know where my preference lies) but I gotta admit there is something about Mal that I am digging (huge green schlong maybe? lol) ...too bad he probably likes boys ;)

    WHY didn't I read this sooner? You are such a clever writer. Your characterization of Malton & Gilvarin's fathers is hilarious, as is your description of poor Malton trying to choke that drink down. I love both Malton & Gilvarin (can I call them Mal & Gil? lol) already. I love the way you bring your reader into your characters' minds and quickly paint such a vivid picture of their personalities, senses of humor, the ways that they relate to the world and other people... you're just good.

    Hello, I wasn’t quite sure how to go about replying to your review (I r noob -.-)

    thank you for reviewing first off, I love your work, ^-^:: and I suppose you're right I should review stories I read if I'd like some feedback.

    I realize not everyone will like the story I’ve written and in truth I myself don’t favour the version of Roku I have in the story anymore, I’ve re-written lost in translation so many times; and his character has changed a lot since I started, hes not one to go down without a fight. >w< but I was lazy and perhaps over zealous to have my story posted, even when I know Roku has changed.

    I appreciate the feed back greatly, and thank you for the advice. hope my spelling and run on sentences weren’t too bad XD

    I think perhaps I might work some more on the story, its clear to me now that I shouldn’t post something I myself don’t completely love, I need to polish it.
