Woooooooaaaaow >w< never has an update made me so happy~!

I really do love this fanfic... and the angst! >__< just let them be together, BAAAW *drama*

Just kidding :P whatever direction this is headed, I know it will be a fantastic ride, especially with you as the driver.

Wow that was such a terrible metaphor. Please excuse.

((I'm not too sure about "Wir sollen backen", I feel like there's something missing... will check with a more knowledgeable friend and get back to you. Apart from that, it all sounds fine, though sometimes it feels a bit distracting and can jolt the flow of the dialogue... it's not a major issue - by all means, carry on! - it's just something to take into account.))

Thank you so much! I'm so glad (read: stupidly happy) you like it that much :D

Your metaphor made me melt inside, don't worry 8D and really, I don't think I'd be able to split them up for good! That'd just be cruel :(

((Thank you! I kind of chickened out with that one - it was meant to be 'we should bake one last time' but I didn't want to put down 'ein letztes Mal' in case it was a turn of phrase :/ And is it the inclusion of the German that disrupts it or the actual German itself? Sorry, didn't know which you were referring to ^^;))

I do watch out for it to some extent. If it's ridiculously long like that bit with Mio then there's no point. If it'd be plain annoying to read the German and then take a while to get to the translation then that makes no sense either. I'll try to be a bit more careful in future but, in truth, I think the last time it'll happen might be in a chapter or two. When he eventually gets back, that language barrier won't be the same. I doubt he'll be speaking German at all. So er... problem solved xD;;

Thought you'd be tempted by that XD That scene came out of nowhere. I just sat down on the train, started typing and I think by the time I was going over the bridge, I was thinking 'where the hell is all this even coming from? ^^;;' but I was actually pretty pleased with it :) god, get it on tape while it lasts - me being happy with my writing I'm happy you liked it ( ... )

I'm so happy you updated, I missed this story :)

I loved all of it, but I have to say my favorite part was where Fay was hugging Mio-chan. Somehow I got a similar feeling from it as from that scene in the Tokyo arc, the one where Sakura just got back from collecting the price and Fay clutches her in his arms. It's one of my favorite manga scenes, it's all d'aaaaaw and sad and comforting at the same time, so you did a great job recapturing that feeling ^_^

And oooooh, KuroFay making out session was also kinda hot :D I just hope Fay's not gonna spent a lot of time back in German, since Kuro-pon clearly is in need of some attention :D

You know I'm so flattered that it gave you a similar feeling to that scene - it's a bit I think I forget too easily but it was absolutely wonderful and makes me go all soft and wibbly every time ;; It means a lot that to me for you to compare them. Thank you so much!

And glad you liked it! XD
