1st read:

Oh this was ADORABLE!
God I love them so much.
But can I please please please have a prequel focused on their rivalry leading up to Athens? I like angst, I want to see them hating each other and then absolutely falling in love. And since I’m already making requests, can I please get chapters about their wedding and about their life in general?

2nd read:

This holds up so well on its own and it’s so well written that Lunchbucket could just change the names and publish it as a original story.

ich muss gestehen, ich war ein bisschen enttäuscht, dass die ganze olympia geschichge so kurz kam. dachte, die spiele werden viel detaillierter beschrieben. war deshalb ein bisschen enttäuscht. die story war trotzdem ganz nett, aber ich wollte mehr von den olympischen spielen sehen. und ich fands komisch, wie schnell sich die beziehung von absolutem ignorieren zu unsterblich verliebt geändert hat.

4 stars…
Didn’t like the first epilogue. It was kind of awkward and weird and decided to skip the other epilogue because of that. I didn’t really need one for the story and I didn’t want to waste the time if it was weird again.
