After going through all the fics, I still like this one the best, because it's totally my kind of world and fantasy setting!

For the score:

1. 10 (no better way to incorporate the prompt into the story, really =)
2. 10 (I had some very minor stopping points where I thought Kurogane should have figured it out sooner or was too trusting, but this is AU and you portrayed him pretty accurate on the important points)
3. ..you don't really have to ask, do you? 10 of course.
