Your portrayal of the characters was real as were the emotions you expressed. Wonderful job and by far one of the best fanfics i've read.

Bloody fantastic! You desribe their thoughts and feelings beautifully like you have been in this position yourself. You should become a romance novalist.

Bloody fantastic! You seem to have thoughts and feelings of someone that is actually going through the same thing down to a T. You describe their thoughts and feelings beautifully. You should become a romance novalist.

Well... what do I have to tell you? This is one of the best fics I've ever read. First impression was "what the heck? Videl and Goku?" but as I read on the chaps, everything was so... natural, so perfect. That's what should have happened. I don't know if you wrote a sequel or not, the ending of this story was almost perfect, though there are some things I'd really like to know about some of the characters in here. For example, chi-chi; would she be willing to make things up for the good of her marriage? would she be willing to understand she'd not been actually the perfect wife? would she be willing to have a happy marriage with the guy she oblied to be her spouse? hmm.. I don't think so, but I'd love to know actually. Well, beyond that, I'd like to congratulate you for your excellent job with this story, as I told you before, one of the best stories I've ever read. Finally I see the real lack of love chi-chi and goku have, finally I can see goku is not an idiot, and finally I can see something realistic about videl and gohan's relationship. The role you gave Vegeta and Bulma here was perfect, they were the only ones able to understand what was going on... I don't know if you still read this reviews, but if you do so, let me tell you you've made me so happy with your stories. Now I will continue reading everything you made :) Well... that's it I think, let me tell you one last thing... thank you for this story! love to you from Buenos Aires. Tammy tamilach @ gmail . com hope to read you soon ^^

Hey Pareathe! I don't even know if you read reviews anymore, but I did see that you logged on recently and I was overjoyed to see that you seem to still be an author! You probably don't remember me, but I reviewed this story when it first came out so many years ago, in fact my last review was on July 07, 2004 23:50 CDT lol. But I have recently joined the military and I find quite a bit of free time on my hands and I found myself searching for old fanfics that I loved and read a long time ago. Oddly enough I think of this story quite a bit, and finally I decided to look for it. And I am so happy I did, because I loved this story so dearly, and I still do, and even more so now that I am older and can truly understand the feelings and emotions protrayed in this story. I read it all again in the last few days at work, and I just have to tell you all over again how wonderful it is. The only thing that I was disappointed about was the "slight" chance that you said there might be a sequel and after all these years there still isn't one :( I imagine that it would be difficult to write one (heck I don't even know where you would begin lol) but just the thought brings a smile to my face. But I just wanted to tell you about how great it was to re-read such a great story. My husband is currently in training to go to Iraq, and with me having so much free time on my hands, I think I may have to start writing again!!! If you are interested in chatting at all, my email is erica.l.johnson@navy.mil. I would be honored to hear from you, and thank you so much again for such an awesome, incredible piece of work ^^

I've read a couple fics before where Goku and Videl were paired together, but nothing ever this good. You've got real talent, and I'm sure that many a review has said that. So I'll just leave it at that. Ciao for now.

I was glad to get a review from you, it gave me the push I needed to get moving and finally review this story. I first read The Ones They Take for Granted a long time ago when I was too shy to leave reviews, so... better late than never, right? *cheesy grin* This story is *awesome.* The first chapter will always be my favorite, but it really worked as a continuation, and I'm so glad you finished it. I love odd couples (okay, okay, I love anything with Goku having sex) and Goku and Videl were just so steamy together. It was gratifying that you didn't turn Gohan into an over-the-top jerk, just a man who couldn't change who he was or truly understand what his wife needed. The division between father and son was heartbreaking for me since I'm such a fan of the Goku+Gohan relationship, but it made for great drama and it worked for the story. I also liked how you portrayed Pan; I absolutely cannot stand GT Pan and find myself screaming "DIE!" at the TV screen at her all the time, but in your story she became a "real" little girl and a sympathetic, likeable character. The ending was rather quiet, but fitting. Videl made her choice, and the cool-down time for everyone to settle and figure things out was necessary. So, I guess basically what I'm saying is, GREAT JOB! This remains as one of my very favorite DBZ het fics.

I really enjoyed this even though I am more into slash. I particularly liked the Goku/Vegeta dynamic which stayed very true to their respective characters, yet giving a hint as to the feelings of friendship that flows beneath the constant sparring. I was also cheering when you gave Goku the right to some intelligence. Yay. And I am guessing it was no huge surprize to Vegeta either. Anyway, its been awhile since you finished this but since I just read it I wanted to let you know it found another fan.

That was fantastic!! I'd beg for a sequeal but I know first hand how hard it is to continue a work when there is major lack of time. Yet, this honestly doesn't need one. It stands great by itself! Wonderful job. Now I'm going to have to check out your other works.

My God! This was the most intense fanfic i ever read. I was at the edge of chair every single minute during the two days i took reading it all at once. And also i had a moisture in my eyes that kept blurring my vision every now and then. I had to stop by and give you my congratulations even if it's been a while since you finished this fic, which I've found just because i had gone to your profile to send you a message about your Goku/Trunks story "Claim of Princes" asking for the links and the plans for the future. I'm really glad i gave this one a chance or else i would have missed one of the stories i enjoyed reading the most these last few months. Still didn't read any of your other stories, but if they are anything similar to "Claim of princes"(which i love) and "The Ones They Take For Granted" (i've become a fan of Goku/Videl now) i sure have to read them. And if you decide to write an epilogue to this one, let us know ok? Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to put pressure on you to write more, i'm saying this just because what you said in your last authors note. You left an opening for it and you are aware of it, so i decided to let you know i'll read if you decide to write, but i might add that this was the best ending you could come up with. Great is the word for the fic, the pairing, the end, the musics youchose...everything.Kitkat(vegoksaiyan@yahoo.com.br)PS: BTW, could you send me the link to "The Kakarotto Timeline" also? I wanna read it even if it's not finished.
 Title: I finally found the conclusion!

OMG!!! I was looking all over for this thing! I found it on one site, but it was never updated. I'm so glad to have found the end. And it's just so sad and so well done and now I'm going to have to read it again from the beginning and I can't believe how much I loved this story. I didn't even want to read it the first few times I came across it. I swore I wouldn't even look at it b/c I'm a die-hard Gohan/Videl fan, but once I did, I realized that this is such a great story that it makes you forget about that and get wrapped up in what is a beautiful, tragic and heartfelt love story. Please write a sequel.
