Oh god... This is delightful! A most refreshing and interesting idea, masterfully written too. :) I've had so much fun reading this story! Thank you!

[harumi]

You're welcome! I've had a lot of fun writing this. I love the idea of Natsume as a god. It makes me wibble in all kinds of ways ♥

I wonder what Natori's reaction would be to new godly!Natsume. I fail to imagine anything past extreme surprise. XD Tanuma... would probably sense something new about his friend, but would he question him? Matoba would probably double his efforts to control Natsume, that's for sure. It's a whole new world you've created! :D

[harumi]

I suspect Natori would feel more than a little betrayed. The one thing that Natsume would probably try very hard NOT to reveal would be that it is possible (highly unlikely though it is) for a human to attain god-hood, as it were. And that would naturally lead Natori into the conclusion that Natsume had been a god all along-- just faking it for Natori

AHHH, I AM FLAILING WITH GLEE. ♥ This was wonderfully done, and I love your Natsume and how he just deals with everything that life flings his way and kjkjkjaw Madara as his most faithful worshipper is just splendid.

There needs to be a like button on livejournal. And the ability to press it a billion times. ♥

Natsume it just so impossibly sweet. ♥ I'd originally intended for it to end in Misuzu's triumph and Natsume's shock/horror/angst, but Natsume being Natsume decided to end it in warmfuzzies. XD;;

I'm so glad you enjoyed this ♥

Beautiful! Shame it'll only be a one shot, you portrayed them wonderfully in character.

[harumi]

Plans for follow-up one-shots are in the works. :3 I'm glad the characterization works for you; I'd been really worried about that.

Oh MAN. This was so FULL OF SO MUCH AWESOME! OMFG. Everything is just that much more awesome from Misuzu's pov.

[harumi]

Isn't Misuzu the greatest? ;laksdfa He's one of my favorites, but I adore any of the spirits that enjoy ribbing Nyanko-sensei, like Chobihige. Their banter was so much fun to write.

Ahhhhhhhh, I love it! *___* Misuzu and Madara's understated rivalry for Natsume's affection, and Misuzu being such a yokai with his traps and trickery, worshippers... One must imagine how Matoba and Natori would react if they found out!

Absolutely delightful~ I really enjoyed it.

Misuzu and Madara's understated rivalry for Natsume's affection...

Yeeeeeesssss. XDDDD

I have many plans for follow-up one-shots, but one of them includes Matoba and Natori's reactions.
