hi ily thank you for this,, , ,,

This was a really, really well written story. Like seriously, Apollo's rage, Trucy's sadness, Thalassa's fear - they hit me square in the heart. This was such a joy to read, honestly. Thanks so much for writing!

God damn, what an amazing read.

This is beautiful. I'd love to see more family bonding fics like these.

And hello again, Estel! Funny story for you: I came on here to search for stories about Thalassa - I just finished Apollo Justice again and was reminded of how utterly FASCINATING I find her - and the secret relation between Apollo and Trucy. I found this story and completely loved it, then I looked to see who the author was ... and Zvarri!

I remember writing in my review for "To Make the Vastness Bearable" that it's fun to think that Apollo and Trucy already knew in their hearts. Here, you have portrayed Apollo and Trucy with two very different and, I feel, accurate reactions to the reveal. As far as Trucy is concerned, Apollo has always been like a big brother to her, and the fact that he really is just gives their relationship an upgrade. Apollo, on the other hand, is much more hot-blooded, as we've seen from his reaction to his best friend's murder all the way back to when he punched Mr. Wright for forging evidence. It would be fascinating to see Athena and Widget do a therapy session with Apollo.

I thought the game night scene could have used a little more Apollo, as the only indication he was there was Thalassa's observation of Klavier's protectiveness. All in all, though, another fantastic entry into the Phoenix-fandom.

I have always wanted to read a story about their reunion, yet I hated this story. Your language is good and all, but I can't stand the fact that Phoenix is blamed for their family problems. As far as I remember, he didn't ask to be drag into any of these. It started due to that idiotic pathetic excuse of a grandfather/father-magnifi. And sure as hell Phoenix didn't have the obligation to tell Apollo and Trucy about Thalessa, especially when he wanted to respect Thalessa's decision on when to tell the truth.
Also, I don't think Phoenix knew much about who kill Clay, nor did he know much about the Phantom. But since you provided a background story, I don't mind it that much
One part I like about the story is how you deal with the change in emotions, even if Apollo is a bit extreme.
I see Thalessa as a pitiful character in her youth, but this is purely my opinion.

I find this really beautiful and i'm halfway to crying and thank the gods above and your parents for having you which lead to making this fic

(im sorry usually im more coherent but it's kinda late and i'm just in that afterglow that comes after reading a really satisfying fic and thanks for the fic i cannot repeat that enough)

I absolutely love the detail you put into the character's thoughts! You have a unique way of making the reader experience the same emotions without getting too wordy. And, unlike some other writers, you don't oversaturate the story with swears, just using them to emphasize your points. A fantastic read!

I really like this! I always wanted too see Thalassa come back, and all the rest relating be revealed, and this gives a great example of how it should be! Maybe Capcom should hire to write for them and take out any other plotholes!
Speaking of which, if you haven't, and if you take requests, maybe you can do one about Feenris? XD
Anything else to say...
"Huh?" The blurry patch of red and yellow next to the woman holding Thalassa makes the enquiring noise. "You know this person, Mystic Maya?"

"I do. Athena Cykes, this is Thalassa Gramarye. Thalassa, this is Athena Cykes. I'm Maya Fey, a friend of both your children."
- I don't know if Athena will come to refer to Maya as the way Pearl does, but it stood out to me as a bit odd; not bad or problematic, but in that way. I feel saying "Athena, this is Thalassa Gramarye," is more proper and less formal, as opposed to saying her full name, which stood out as bizarre to me.
- If anything else, I was surprised by the mentioning of beer. They are adults, but it'd seem out of character for them. Nick does drink grape juice and Athena, her OJ. Maybe it's my inexperience; I'm still a highschooler, after all.

But yeah, I really liked it! You just received a favorite and a follower! x)

...Ok, this. Was. AMAZING!

I can't believe how long this fanfic was and I love how it dives into Apollo and Trucy's feelings towards Thalassa after discovering her true significance to them -that she was their one and true mother.

Everything clicked together in this story like a jig-saw puzzle; the writing and everything was supurb, the characters were spot on, the little touch with Maya was awesome, and I love how you tie everything up with the Ace attorney Apollo justice and Dual destinies up!

This is a great story and there should be more reviews.
