All That We Could Ever Be: a reincarnation [anti]romance by Canti

All That We Could Ever Be (formerly titled 'Reins') is about the climactic reunion at the end of a reincarnation romance.

ATWCEB is more of a word labyrinth than a game or a story; it's a wandering through the easily-distracted mind of something that's been alive for a very, very long time.

There are stories hidden here. Conversations. Confessions. Doubts, and certainties, and a certain sense of finality.

That was awesome! That's the best kind of romance and it was told in such a way... I'm writing a comment right now instead of a review because that was so awesome I can't think of how to put it into words sufficient for a review.

It's such a well-written story! My only wish is for more detail about the characters themselves. It's interesting, but just so vague.

Wow, I really like this.
The writing is amazing, and as you continue, the story begins to grow clearer.
It all clicks together, and you get a sense of understanding without really knowing anything at all.
It left me breathless.

i don't get this...how do u play? where's the choices? and why are some words in the story bold and linked? random words like time, rests, here, now, new...etc

A very thoughtful piece of writing, that is more like art than literature. Quick to draw you in as a reader and holds you there until you've finished, and then you feel like you need to read back through it all to make sure you haven't missed anything. Beautiful storyline and written with power.

I don't normally like this kind of 'game', and I'm sure it isn't to everyone's tastes, but Reins is absolutely incredible. It's just a stunning piece of art; it's just so beautiful and moving. Some of the loops can be a little bit frustrating, but part of the beauty of the 'game' is finding everything - there isn't a single page that doesn't add to the depth and power of the story.
