OH MY GOD JACKS. In the midst of this LJ drama and panic, I can only say-- THANK GOD YOU ARE STILL BRILLIANT (and hot). This is beautiful, Jacks, honest. Too many lines for me to quote back to you, and the style and weight of the paragraphs are exactly what I visualized when you first talked about la_foule. Am also really pleased to finally have some Tamaki-->Kyouya loving, felt that mom was getting a little neglected. :|

Go back to her and let me have a different victory.

THIS LINE MADE MY HEART STOP. ♥

In all honesty I had to read two times to fully understand what was going on and I still don't get what was intended with this line: With the warm air pressing in from all sides, he can still feel Tamaki’s wet hair through his fingertips, the lull of his voice and the twisting muscles of his jaw if he slid his hands down and over Tamaki’s shoulders.. (Is it referring to when Kyouya washed Tamaki's hair?)
But I'm so glad to see an update!!!
Oh, and I loved that "different victory" line too!

jfhdsf yeah. When I was going over it I thought "there is no way this is going to make sense" so!! Thank you though, you were right, that was what it meant in all it's merkiness

yay an update! I love how this fic has this nice slow relaxing pace to it. Where most fics would have totally had them making out hardcore by this point, in this one it's moving at a more... realistic? in character? I'm not sure what word I'm looking for so I'll just say: oh my goodness this has been like pure bliss to read

Oh, man. I just found this through a post in Kyouyatamaki...and I love it. Just love it. I can't even describe how much I almost died when I clicked "next" and there was nothing. All of you are doing an absolutely brilliant job, and the characterizations of this story as a whole are stunning.

I feel terrible that I didn't find this fic before, not until incoming happened to recommend it on the KxT fan community. This chapter and the one where Kyouya washes Tamaki's hair are just incredible. I love the way you portray their relationship, very subtle and under the surface. And gosh, so slow and torturous. I think I was holding my breath the whole time I read this. The French and the music and Eclair.... this is better than canon. I love it. And I feel Kyouya's pain between the lines.

<333 This may be 2 years old and anime canon (which I never thought I would enjoy fic for more than the manga), but it's so lovely.
