Oh gosh, you had me in tear and in fear for the last few chapters. If it's not for the opening chapter that promises Jun and Sho would DEFINITELY meet again, my heart would probably give before I can reach the ending. I kept thinking 'Poor Jun!' And how miserable he must have been. Seriously, you made him gone through hell several times. And I felt so very sorry for him. >_< I know Sho wanted to keep him safe and all... But leaving Jun like that. Bad Bad Sho!
Okay, i guess I was overly biased. :P Sho was in fact very devoted and he did sacrify a great deal for Jun. He eventually came back for him as well. So I shouldn't be too hard on him, right? :D
You know, Writer-san? You certainly ripped open my chest and tore my heart to million pieces so many times before you allowed me the happy (?) ending. All the pain that I felt while reading it! The heartbreak i had gone through toward the end! This is superbly angsty. LoL What a ride it has been.
Okay, I am getting ahead of myself (please forgive me, it's almost 4 in the morning). Allow me back out a little bit and say that I LOVE this story so much. The first impression I had with the first few chapters was how well this story was written. The writing, the storytelling and the progression of the story were very well thought-through and exceptionally executed. The plot was captivating and I was glued to my cellphone reading this the whole day (hence, 4 am now). Goshh... it has been a fantastically memorable experience. And - to use Jun's word - it was exquisite!
Btw, I really enjoyed the Matsumiya you have in this story. It was supposed to be a Sakumoto but you expertly included a truly heart warming Matsumiya combo in this that I can felt as strong. Nino as Jun's trusty and capable right hand man was so fitting to his persona. Aiba was great here too. I have always wanted to read a story where Aiba is a bodyguard and you certainly have made my day with this. And Ohno...oh Ohno...I wished there would be more of him and Sho and him and Nino - but this story would probably be twice the length. Not that I would complain. I certainly could read many more chapters of this..LoL I love how all of them fit into the plot and the story so perfectly. The friendship, the comradory, the loyalty, the devotion and the sacrifices they were showing here were absolute. All the love - mostly unspoken. It gave all the right feels about Arashi. *squeal*
I actually can go on and on about how great this story is after this first read. But I am sure I am coming back to read it several more times for sure. Goshh.. I REALLY love this.
It has been such a fun ride. Thank you so much for your hard work. I truly and deeply appreciate it. Thank you!!!
Oh wow, you read this in one go? That's called endurance, I believe! I'm honored that you found this to be an engaging read.
I haven’t written angst for SJ in a while, so I thought I’d make this as reasonably angsty as possible. At least, I believe it was reasonable? ;)
I’m happy to know that the Matsumiya worked. :D It’s one of my fave aspects in this story, the Kaze trio relationship and how Jun values both Nino and Aiba. I do wish I elaborated more on Sho and Ohno (and the implied Ohmiya), but that’s the limitation of a fic in Jun’s POV, I guess. Or maybe there’s a way I could’ve done that and I just haven’t figured it out? I do have a bunch of headcanons regarding the stuff I wasn't able to include (aka the stuff that happened behind the scenes).
Thank you for reading! I won’t apologize for making you emotional (that was the goal lol), so thanks a lot for giving this long story a shot!
