Aiba is a curious merboy. And yes, he strikes a faustian bargain to meet a human prince on land.

Yay, it's finally done! Sorry I took so long to comment. I needed to find time to sit down and read the whole thing proper to refresh my memory.

First, I just want to say, I still love all the little details you've included. The tiny bits about strawberry jam and Nino and Aiba's past moments and even Jun finally showing up like the BAMF he is just give the world so much more depth and make it feel that much more alive.

I'll admit, I'm not surprised at how the fic turned out since you had hinted at this type of ending before. However, I wasn't expecting Aiba to have to choose between Nino and Sho in quite that way either. (And can I say how heartbreaking it is that Sho eventually loved Aiba at the end. Seriously, that just made it worse.)

And a question! Was Cutaway 2 meant to be a little, peaceful moment of ignorance for baby Aiba and Nino? Because if so, the innocence presented kind of breaks my heart.

Overall though! It was great to get to read the ending and see this story finished. ♥ ♥ *insert showers of love and affection here* Thank you!

I truly apologise for replying your comment so late. I have a bad habit of using my replies to comments as the dangling carrot for me to write so I promised myself I'd reply when I posted new fic! By the way, you'd brought up Flavour of Life so I was going to drop you a pm to say that I'd finished a new part and posted it here but since I'm replying your comment belatedly, it all works out! :)

Thank you very much for your lovely reply to the fic. And yes! I definitely meant cutaway 2 to be exactly as you said. ♥ Hopefully I don't leave it there too; I'm going to try working on some of your requests! I really like them.

Thank you again for everything. I'm really sorry I'm not a better and quicker or lengthier author so thank you for sticking with me and for validating me with your donation.
