Excellent! Really. This series and this pairing are so dear to my heart-- I love that you gave it such kind treatment here.
If you're interested in more links, I have my Big (relatively) Princess Tutu Fanfiction Reccomendation List (http://rashaka.livejournal.com/799970.html), which isn't all that big at all, but does have a few fics you don't have listed there.
It would have been interesting to include the analysis Ahiru made of her own feelings in episode 12, where she wonders why she likes Mytho so much, and can't really come up with an answer, even as she's staring at Fakir's back. Still, it's not that important when you have a wordcount limit.
when I first started thinking, “Hey, they couldn’t be setting up Fakir to be Ahiru’s eventual love interest, could they? Nah, couldn’t be.”
When Fakir first clapped for the Rue/Ahiru dance in episode two I laughed, and thought "Wow wouldn't it be weird if they made the rude, surly, unhappy kid became her love interest instead of the popular bishie romantic kid we all know she's going to end up with?"
And then several episodes happened and I thought for sure that Fakir was going to turn out to be the prince of ravendom or something... and then episode 7 happened and I was like, "oh my god, they ARE going to make it be the surly unpopular evil one!" Even that was mostly wishful thinking though, until episodes 10-12.
