Thank you. :) They make me so sad, all three of them.

...I'm not sure I have anything coherent to say about this yet, because I have a copy of Natasha Beddingfield or whatever her name is's cover of The Scientist on my PDA and it comes up on shuffle a lot (my playlist isn't very long right now) and it wakes Yanagi up a little every time and I have been doing a lot of fruitless thinking on his behalf lately. Perhaps on a reread later I'll think of something. You and Inui made me Google 'toothbrush hickey', though. ;)

You made me get out Coldplay and listen to the song and now I'm all saaaaaaaaaad! Oh, boys.

I was so happy just looking at the header that I almost didn't need to read the fic :))

I love that Inui has a dent, and Yanagi has a bump. Like they fit together, like puzzle pieces. And I love the InuKai, and the gentle current of bittersweetness that runs through the contrast between past and present. And the descriptions of the haircutting and hairwashing -- I didn't realise I was holding my breath through those parts until they were over. Just, so intimate and quiet and fraught with so much that's unspoken. :))

I'll remember that for next time and save myself some trouble. *g*

I have a bit of a thing about haircutting and hairwashing: I've written about haircutting twice before and hairwashing once (though it seems like it should be more -- I might have forgotten something). There's something desperately sexy about grooming.

Oh, man. Oh man oh man oh man. The way it all fits together, all jabby and hurty just a little bit from the corners...

Yeah, so not coherent here.

[prillalar]

I like your incoherence. :) I'm glad the story hurt you a bit.

That was so very nice~ I really love some of the phrases, and the way it was written.

[prillalar]

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
