I think my noises of surprised delight when I saw this on my f-list woke up the whole house
...
off to read

[stupeur]

Awe, I'm glad to know you're still excited for it. :) Let me know what you think!

[siseja]

You kidding? I've been waiting for this final chapter FOR A YEAR =w=

Anyway
two words
Love it

And I really do, I love your writing. You write long, enjoyable chapters, this took me like..20 minutes to read? More? I don't know but it was actually an act of sitting down and reading a chapter, not just scum through it in five minutes like the usual fic length chapters out there. And your language is sophisticated, yet flows easily and is comfortable to read

[stupeur]

Hahaha I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. ;o;

I was always terrified at first of posting long chapters, but at some point I figured that it was kind of unavoidable... and not only do people not mind it, they actually enjoy it. And wow, I'm so happy that you enjoyed the writing itself. I was scared of being a little rusty after all this time, so this is both a relief and a great incentive for me to continue. :)

Your comments on realism/manly men also mean a lot to me. I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with uke/seme relationships, I just personally try to go a little further than that. And I don't think it would fit with Miya and Tatsurou anyway, you know? They're both pretty "manly" to me and manliness and homosexuality aren't mutually exclusive, so... yeah. ANYWAY, I'm rambling. What I mean to say is that if you thought they were portrayed realistically, then I've achieved my goal. ♥

Thank you so much for your comments, they're always highly appreciated. ♥ And hope I didn't make you late for work. D:

I literally dropped everything at work to read this. It doesn't matter if my deadline is up in three hours, I dropped everything and read it.

And wow, just wow.

Some things are so rarely worth the wait but this is. On the plot, I did love that you didn't gloss over the fact that they are probably damn wrong for each other. Their personalities, the mutual cheating, it all by rights shouldn't work. So it's just a great one-two punch when it just does. Love, in all its forms is never rational and you brought that across absolutely wonderfully

[stupeur]

Oh, wow. I'm touched, really. :x (But I hope that you didn't miss your deadline because of this fic

[lady_sb]

LOL no worries, managed to meet my deadline (and your fic still proved a nice distraction regardless).

And I get your reasoning, in the end that is the truth. Its hard to look at a couple and see that they will be together 20 years down the road. Its satisfying because its a kind of ending, but also because you leave it open to what ifs. And then the reader can decide whether it will work or not.

Good luck with whatever you do ^^ and I itch to write original fiction as well, but I always say I will only after I finish all my fanfic ideas (which are ridiculously plentiful *facepalm*)

Can't wait for your new MUCC stories then ^^

PS: Hahaha no worries, I probably will over the next few weeks. Most likely when I come back from holiday in the next three weeks or so. Until then take care and will watch out for your stuff too ^^

[bauci]

I don't really read MUCC but this looked interesting. I'm glad I clicked on it and read it in one go. It's very consistent, especially atmosphere wise. I enjoyed the present-past changes, they were used very tastefully with not distracting from nor overwhelming the main plotline but adding to it.
I feel lifted after reading this. Thank you for a great read.

[stupeur]

Awe, you're very welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this even if it's not your cup of tea and taking the time to comment afterwards, too. I'm really happy that you thought it was consistent (this was one of my main worries) and that it had such a nice effect on you. :) Thanks again!

[blindcottonlove]

I'm so glad you wrote this chapter because without a link to it in jrockyaoi I would've never read the two first parts either, and that would've been a shame. I'm at total loss of words how wonderful and beautiful this story is. At first I was just supposed to glance through the first chapter to see if it's something I'd like to read, but eventually, I read all three chapters at one go. My ass is sore from too much sitting, lol, but I just couldn't stop

[stupeur]

Oh lord, best read in years? :x I'm honoured.

My ass is sore from too much sitting, lol, but I just couldn't stop!♥
Hahaha! That's really sweet of you. ♥ I'm really glad you stumbled on this story! My apologies for the sore butt, though. :P

I think I was biting a bit more than I could chew at some points, so I'm definitely happy it didn't come across that way. 8D; I had a lot of fun with the flashbacks (endless opportunities!), and I was hoping that they'd manage to flesh out Miya's character and relationships instead of distracting from them, so your comment really makes me happy.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. :) And do tell if there's anything else that you enjoy in my archive! Some stuff is a bit on the weird side, to say the least, but hopefully you'll find something to your liking. :D;

[gacktjr]

GOSH! Finally!
Need to read! was waiting so badly for this
