Holy jebus you are an amazing writer. This is what I love the most about the fandom - not only do I get to read incredible stories, but I also get to experience different and wonderful writing styles!

Ahh I've been trying forever to write you a comment for this chapter but it's so damn good and I've just had the tab open for days, staring at it and not knowing how to articulate my thoughts.

But I continue to ADORE this story. And I think it's not only because your writing is amazing and poetic and beautiful but because I find R/J the most difficult couple to write because it's so hard to strike that balance between conflict and attraction, and not only do you manage to pull off that balance, but you explore all of their motivations and reasoning behind it. The constant pull between the political intrigue and personal desire.

The scene in front of the holy fire is amazing. I love how much she's in control in the end, even though it was him who woke her to the possibility of acting however she wishes.

"I swear, Jade, when Kunzite told me you’d sniffed out a Senshi, you’d have thought Endy’s balls just dropped and he was there to see it happen, he was so damn excited. Well. As excited as Kunzite ever gets, anyway,” the other ( ... )

omg THANK YOU, that is really reassuring, because i really get into potential histories and politics and conflicts and then i wonder if i'm yammering ad nauseam and boring the shit out of people!!

I love how much she's in control in the end

of course she is ;) i see the past shitennou as pretty badass, and probably a little more stereotypically masculine than their modern counterparts would be, the same way endymion's a bamf and mamoru's a little softer. balancing the power play with r/j is a pain in the ass!

BRB DYING RIGHT NOW.

LOL neph is ridic fun to write, he's all like O HELLO LAYDEEZ!!1

hard to gain a sense of his weaker points in a story told from his perspective

this is the primary purpose of him checking in with his boys, so they don't let him sit around and think he's the shit >D

This didn't have too much dialog in it at all. It only has the necessary background that is required before any good story can truly begin. I can tell that you have a really good sense of direction with this series and I'm loving what I've read so far. You've struck a powerful balance between my favorite couple and I can't wait to read more.

Please do not apologize for writing an amazing fic. I thank you for writing, posting, and continuing it this far.

thank you so much! i hate going on forever with background material and dragging things out, so i'm glad you don't feel that way. i hope the rest lives up to your expectations - i may not have quite the sense of direction you've attributed me, but i'm trying ;D

I swear, Jade, when Kunzite told me you’d sniffed out a Senshi, you’d have thought Endy’s balls just dropped and he was there to see it happen, he was so damn excited. Well. As excited as Kunzite ever gets, anyway,” the other man concedes with a yawn.

“I’d put good money on him lurking in the Prince’s bedroom a few years ago, just waiting to capture that tender moment.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

AND THE TENSION AND THE HOT FIRENESS WITH THE ALMOST KISS BUT MUCH DEEPER THAN THAT THING AND THE BEING CAUGHT BY THE GUARDIAN AND THE 'LEAVE US' HOLY SHIT ASPARA THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!
