not sure if you knew this but--you got Kiredori's gender wrong. ^^; Or at least, on one particular chapter they show what's under the cloak and because of the wrappings/muscular arms/build/etc it's almost proved that she is actually a HE...and yeah XD *this was brought up on the kink meme as well* I'd give you a link if my internet were working better and could actually load the page >_> it's in chapter...um...187 I think?

Other than that...this was freakin' epic XD LET ME TELL YOU *has Tokusa playing in one of her major RPs* (I don't play 'im but my RPer Sam does) heheheh~ *linked this fic to her*

Ah, but note that I didn't actually specify Kiredori's sex except in Tokusa's fictional narrative. ;) I totally dodged that question. XD Also, she could be a flat-chested woman with muscles, doubtful though that is in the world of manga. I'm hoping Kiredori's female, but said hope is not very great. But maybe I like flat-chested women with muscles. If there ARE any in manga....

Thank you, and thanks for reccing the fic as well. Tokusa is epic in general, and I know an excellent Tokusa rper myself. <3

true but still you referred to him as a her in the story. At least say something in the A/N about it jut in case others read this XD *so they don't continually point it out* I don't personally care but I think Kiredori is a cute name for either gender

haha well I didn't really get into him as a character until our RP (didn't get into Madarao either *that much* till I had to RP him XD) so yeah. *very content/sleepy at the moment plz excuse her* Oh though Sam enjoyed this fic. VERY much

Good point. I meant to mention it there, but forgot.

I liked Tokusa pretty early on. I became more of a fan of him (and the other Crows) during the hiatus because I know some Tokusa fans, and I liked his portrayal on some Japanese fansites, and it was fun to speculate about his personality in my mind. But yeah, there are a few other minor characters that I only started to notice and love because of the rp I was in. In other cases, I still don't care about the character in the manga, but I loved them in the rp because their rper was amazing. <3

Glad she enjoyed! :D

for he loves the oven more than he loves me

This one cracked me the most! XD
I couldn't stop laughing.

I wonder where do you get this idea.

Haha, glad you enjoyed it!

My brain often veers off on strange tangents. However, this particular idea was inspired by Saints' Lives, the accounts of saints written in medieval times or earlier. They were often written to attest to miracles performed by the saint, and so are larger-than-life and entertaining. I happen to like them. So I combined that with Tokusa's ambition and enjoyment of provoking his colleagues, and this is like a parody of a Saint's Life. :3

Thanks for reading. <3

This pretty much made me really happy when I saw it yesterday morning, but I'm slow at getting around to actually comment. :D; But I was still giggling on the way to work like a loser. XD;

There are so many things I love about this, but I fail at properly communicating what they are and why. It probably helps that I seem to have become a Crow fangirl and somehow have developed a thing for Tokusa in particular. :D; The fandom needs more awesome Crow fanstuff though. ♥

:D

I'm always happy when my fics make people laugh. So glad you enjoyed.

I agree about the fandom needing more Crow works. I turned into a Crow fangirl as well, all the more so during the hiatus...they may be pretty minor characters, but they appeal to me for some reason. Tokusa is a lot of fun. I hope we see plenty more of him in the manga.

Thanks for reading and commenting. <3

BRILLIANT! Just BRILLIANT! I don't think I have any other words... It was just... awesome. That's all I can say.

You did a great job with the story, seriously. Tokusa is love, I can definitely see him tell this. <3 And the other Crows' inputs were hilarious. I didn't laugh very much, but that doesn't make it any less funny because I don't easily laugh, really.

Anyway, you did a great job, and you made me love the Crow even more. <33

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed Tokusa's little tale.

Usually I don't laugh easily when reading things, either.

Hurrah, another Crow fan! Do you have a favorite?

You're welcome. xD :333

Link, definitely. <3 You write him wonderfully, btw.

And I forgot to add that I found it very sweet that Leverrier and Link had a bakery in the tale. XDD

Link is my favorite too. After that...Tokusa, I think. It's hard to decide. The Third Exorcists all need more character development in the manga, though.

Haha, did you? XD If Leverrier weren't a high-ranking official in the hierarchy of Central, he would so have a bakery. And Link would work there. (It was also a reference to an older fic. I can't believe I wrote that two years ago...)
