As soon as I read the title of this fic I found the The Byrds song in my iTunes and have been looping it ever since. I think I started crying at the beginning of the third paragraph and by the end I was sobbing and my eyes still sting and this was amazing. I'm so glad it ended the way it did, oh god. Seriously, Anon-san. I don't have any more words. ♥

This fic has been on my mind overnight - it's 8:30am here and I woke up an hour ago with The Byrds in my head - so I had to come back and read it again. To, like, reassure myself that it really is as amazing as I first thought? It totally was. I got even more out of it the second time, things I'd missed from trying to read through tears before. (...Though I still cried kagjhaddkh)

There's such an intense roll of emotions, from dread to despair to anger and hope and... and in the end the relief is even more exhausting than the heartbreak, in a way.

Sorry for all the comments :x

Never apologize for leaving comments about how much you liked something. ♥

I must confess, I am really happy to hear how cathartic the ending seems to come across. It was tough, trying to decide where to end it.

Thank you so much. I'm so pleased that you liked this so much.

I admit, I bawled. I was just... especially from Fujigaya's perspective and it was just awful and just... His head and Miyata's reaction and Nika and I just started crying when Fujigaya was in the bathroom.

but then... then.. omg, the ending and omg. Just. I loved this. ♥ T_T

Awwwwwww!

Thank you so much. This comment was lovely. I'm so glad you liked it!

Oh my God, Anon-san. This- WOW. It took me half a day to work myself up to reading this after seeing the summary, and I'm so glad that I did. I cannot imagine how difficult this would have been to write, but you did such an excellent job of getting across the raw emotion of this situation and the different ways people react.
*shudders* I feel so drained after reading this. .__.

[imifumei]

I'm really glad you gave this a try even though it seemed daunting and especially glad that you found it so moving.

Thank you. ♥

huh. when i saw the summary, i knew immediately that i wouldn't want to read this. it's always like that - i haven't really read much angsty fics after i found JE and stopped reading jrock fics, and i usually read only fics that are hapy and fuffy etc.

for some reason, i still did read - and i'm happy i did. i mean, thank you for the happy ending. ;___; i always get goose pimples when i read something scary and exciting like this. and reading this fic, i totally felt like freezing. like, shivering because of cold. (lol i call it my "nervousness freezing".) the point of why i'm telling this is that you made me feel like that with this fic. and that's great, really! at least i find it awesome when people write fics that have such an effect on me. so, good job

[imifumei]

uwaaah!

I feel so proud to have garnered such a reaction with my writing. I understand wanting to stay away from angst but I am so glad that you gave this a chance even with the warnings.

I'm sorry. I thought about saying it was a happy ending in the header, but I felt like if you knew what was coming, it would diminish the capacity of the prose to move you. I hope you'll forgive me. orz I'm really glad you liked the ending as well.

This comment was really lovely. Thank you so much. ♥

aw i'm happy i decided to read it! it was partly because i had decided to read all the exchange fics, but...the reason doesn't matter, does it? the important thing is that i really did read it and liked it after all.

...btw random. when i first heard about that huge earthquake in japan, i thought about kisumai and hoped they're okay. then i remembered this fic. x___x like, just after i had read about kitatama being in accident (or at least the others thinking so), then i suddenly had a real reason to be worried about them. that was pretty creepy.

but, back to the fic again! it's good you didn't tell about the happy ending in the header! the _point is that everyone (=the reader, too) thinks something has happened and is sad before the end, then, when everything changes back to good again.

(the part i cried the most when reading, btw, was when fujigaya thought about how damn _happy they all had been just a couple of days before. it felt pretty horrible. x__x)

haha thank you for writing and everything. :3

Oh. My God. You took me on such a rollercoaster of emotion with this, I really have absolutely no idea how to feel right now. Worry and devastation to this strange kind of bitter, pained happiness, tentative hope, and oh God, I just about broke when Taipi lost it. I know this is just a fic, but I can't even put into words how relieved and ridiculously elated, overjoyed I was when they weren't on the plane. I don't know what was worse, Taipi snapping, or Miyata being so... nothing. Your description of Taipi's feelings upon being told Tama and Mitsu might not be coming back hit so close that I couldn't see through my tears to read for a long time. Every single thing he was feeling, I can't even...

This is just. Incredible. I feel like I've been ripped apart and slowly pieced back together, but slightly differently than before. It's such a bizarre feeling that I can't quite describe, but I think you are... There aren't the words. I can't imagine how much this must have taken out of you to write. You really are something special.

[imifumei]

I. . . I don't even know what to say besides thank you.

;_;

Thank you. So much.
