I loved this fic! This is the type of story I want to read every time I see a 'Integra has to have an heir' story. I like the question at the end, where you ask 'Do you know this character at all?' I feel that a lot of writers are focused on Alucard and Seras that Integra ends up being a minor background character until they want to uncharacteristically pair her up with Alucard. So this was a refreshing fic on how Integra is supposed to be. She wouldn't let a bunch of old men tell her what to do with her body. What is she, Catholic? Everytime I see a fic that has to do with Integra being forced to have an heir, in my mind I say NEXT! because that's not what I want to read. Great job on this fic. I felt sorry for Penwood because he knew it wasn't going to work and the rest went ahead and did it anyway. If Integra did kill the members of the Round Table, I think she let Penwood and Islands live.

Thank you so much for this thorough trope-trouncing. It was refreshing to read. Also, I feel like you nailed everyone's character.

Oh hallelujah! This was amazing! I loved it. I always hated those fics where Integra is forced to get married. I'm going with the thought that those not so bright morons are dead. Loved this. You're an amazing writer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I completely agree about the whole “marrying off” concept in this day and age. Although, I do believe these things still happen in political and influential families, even in countries like England... But the way Integra handled it was gold.

God bless you, Ness Frost. All those stories of Sir Integra HAVING to have an heir are just annoying. Nice to see someone FINALLY show how that crap would REALLY go down.

You what Integra perfectly. She would never let herself be forced in marriage, she's too badass for it. Great job!
