flk;jdasf;jlkasd OHNO/BECKY! Off to read, hooray! ♥

eta: OH MY SPARKLE THIS IS SO PERFECT I CAN'T EVEN. It's going to take me some time to formulate a response that even begins to show my love, but for now let me just say: thank you. I'll be back. ♥

SO BASICALLY I LOVED EVERYTHING, to sum up before I even start. The way you wrote Ohno, who is Ohno but not our Ohno but still Ohno, and his point of view. The way you wrote Becky (!! still can't believe you wrote me OHNO/BECKY, I am overflowing with gratitude and happiness) and the differences between her in different worlds, but how much she draws Ohno to her in each of them. The differences in situations in each world... I especially love that you started us in with Ohno not knowing Becky but Becky already loving him. It was so bittersweet but fitting, and then we get to keep him loving her throughout the rest of the worlds. (This plot, it has my heart. ♥) And that you had an Ohno with a different relationship in a world, where he'd dated Becky in the past, and ending with a sliver of hope that he'd get back with her, in that world, in the future. (Telling Jun to remind him, OHHH, so good!) And then you took us to his own world (and it's not the one we know, I love that) and have it end with meeting his own world's Becky

And then the way he asks Becky out! And Becky's reaction! Basically your Becky is DELIGHTFUL. I love Becky so much so a delightfully characterized Becky in fic just fills me with joy. And then the world with his first exhibition and Meisa (which I love, as already mentioned) and then his own world and how he sees it all again and it's familiar to him and new to us, I love that. And: The unwashed dishes in the sink festering underneath Jun’s neatly-written sign exhorting them to ‘PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER OURSELVES’. UM, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE BEST. I love the restraint Jun uses by putting "ourselves" instead of "yourselves". :D :D And then he's coming in after baker-Ohno, who we already know met and loved Becky, oh oh oh. And then the painting (but first the fabulousness of Nino, roomless, ejecting people from beds) and all of the feelings therein, and how he has come back full of something. And "He doesn’t want mind and memory to smooth out any of the lines and imperfections on her face, to further highlight the fact these

HI. OH MY GOODNESS, HI. I'm just really, really thrilled you enjoyed this, and THANK YOU for taking the time to point out exactly what you liked about the fic. I was really excited about writing this and it's extremely gratifying to know that I managed to fulfil your prompt

[jackie]

That was so unbelievably lovely and heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. I love love love the way you blended all the different aspects of Ohno into multiple people, but at the same time, one person. So good.

Back to say I've rec'd this fic to like 3 non-fandom people who came in knowing basically NOTHING about Arashi/Becky/anything and they've all loved it. A+ JOB ANON.

... I don't have words for this. It.. just. The way the story weaves together is fascinating and perfect. I'm amazed.

There are so many parts I love that I can't even count them all--the first time Becky and Ohno kiss, the part where Nino meets Ninomiya-sensei, the fact that Arashi as Arashi got a role but it wasn't even this Ohno's reality, and of course the very end, where everything came together.

I also liked that some realities knew what was going on, but not all of them did. Absolutely amazing.
