Hee-glad you enjoyed it! ;)

I’ve sort of had this title and a vague sense that I wanted to use The Encounter as a catalyst for something in my head pretty much since…April. ;) But I couldn’t decide where to go with it-if it should be just the start of something long and gradual, like they’re really starting from zero again, or if it should be more like this, where the whole thing focuses on this incident and its immediate aftermath. But your “if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all” prompt sent me toward the latter, and also toward this idea that they’ve had an ongoing relationship for a number of years, and it pretty much already is exactly the real relationship they both want, except that they’re not calling it that or treating it that way.

(Also, making them squabble like children is always fun. And alcohol + Akame + pointy objects, well… ;)

And then there’s the shower sex. *_* Okay, to be very honest, I didn’t think I’d get that one

Oh come now. You didn’t really think I would be able to resist a prompt like that, did you? (Though I did have a moment of, “hmm, how to make shower sex new and interesting…I guess make them do it with their clothes on?” ;)

”Jin, I am not washing whipped cream and chocolate out of my sheets again.”
OMG, I think you just broke my brain. *g* Oh, Jin…

Lol-well, I figure they were having secret sex for a lot of years…had to find some inventive ways to keep it interesting… ;)

And how mature Kame is about things now and even though it’s not a 20+ chapters story, you beautifully managed to describe how much Kame has changed and how much he grew up since they started what they had.

\o/ Thank you! This is…kind of one of the things I was going for. For some odd reason I find it hard to hold onto the mature/self-sufficient side of Kame’s personality when I write from his perspective, and I felt like that was important to have here. Especially amid all the childish bickering with the darts and so forth. (Weirdly, it’s the opposite with Jin-he always seems to come across more mature when I’m writing from his POV… O.o)

And I also like how Jin just wants to find the best way for himself to have it all, even though his way of getting it is a bit… well. *g*

Thanks! And yeah…sometimes I think this is kind of Jin in a nutshell. He doesn’t mean any harm-he just wants what he wants. And…well… ;)

When I’m not busy loving Kame when he fails, I love him for being evil. *g*

Meeee tooooo… failnashi<3 evilnashi<3

And the awesome shower sex, of course. *///* (I might get a reputation if I continue flailing… uU”)

(…Too late. I happened to remember you blackmailing certain people we know to write you a shower sex fic about a year ago, so…that was another reason I couldn’t resist the prompt… ;)

(I so hope Kame is going to meet Theia soon and that she won’t eat his jewelry. *g*)

(Lol, since you mention it…I actually kind of wrote that scene too. I had to cut it in the end because it didn’t fit very well into the story arc-but I might polish it up and post it as a short companion piece at some point.)

Thank you for the lovely comment!! I’m really glad you enjoyed the story! <3
