Very nice job with this fic. You get at the characters of both Sam and Mogget quite well - I really enjoyed seeing watchful, quiet Sam and hints of sardonic, restrained-but-violent Mogget.
The only typo I found wat your use of "keep an eye of this one" rather than "keep an eye on this one" but other than that it looks very good. Keep up the good work!

I thought that this was really good- the way Mogget looks at Sameth is the excact way I've imagined it and I lovd hearing more about this side of him. I mean, through the book you've seen them being closer than they should and it was nice having a little more background information on it. Have you ever thought of expanding it? Adding more to it, as I really think it'll be good.

this was wonderful! I'm really glad I found it. Their really isn't much Old kingdon fan fic, but I love that you written this.
I always thought Mogget knew something about Sam, and that he actually apperciated Sam the most out of all of them. Wonderful!

This is a very interesting idea. Up until the end of the third book, I wondered a lot about Mogget's connection to the Wallmakers, and what that made him to Sam. I think your take on it is great.
I know it's been mentioned in other reviews, but a few grammar/spelling nitpicks that spell check will not catch:
"...as humans were want to do" should be "...as humans are WONT to do." 'Wont' is an adjective meaning 'accustomed.'
"It made him want to cry, he never thought he’d see that again" should have a semi-colon instead of a coma, since you're combining two complete thoughts without a conjunction. Or you could put a period there and make them two separate sentences, but I think the semicolon works better styllistically.
Overall, really nice story. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed this. Brilliant to have it from Mogget's point of view, and I felt it was all very in character. Could do with a bit of an edit for typos, etc, but overall I liked it a lot! :)

I really enjoyed reading Mogget's viewpoint on Sam's strong feelings against Death. Throughout Lirael Sam describes how anti-Death he feels and I think it's a great idea to show that Mogget saw this difference too.
And I loved the idea that different ancestors show different characteristics. I really loved your one shot.

Interesting idea, Belgaer being more trusting and sympathetic to Mogget than the other Nine ... when i think on the possible personalities of the Nine Belgaer does appear as an intellectual / philosopher type.
One thing thats missing is the end of the story ... after Orannis is bound Sam uses Belgaer to free Yrael so the bond you have created here becomes even better

I really like this. No reviews? Shame on the readers, it deserves them! You write from Mogget's point of view very well- he's sympathetic but not too sympathetic. I also very much liked the idea that Royal children and Abhorsen children have certain characteristics- the impetuousness/wariness -and the idea of Mogget's being closer to the Wallmakers than anyone else.
Couple of typos: shiners should be capitalised, and Astariel should be Astarael, but otherwise fine. A very good oneshot. :)
