Firstly, I'm sorry I haven't commented on this yet. I read it right away and then got distracted before I actually commented. Of course, my brain being amazingly like a sieve at times, it slipped my mind. Oops. SO HERE IS MY LATE COMMENT:

To be perfectly honest, I'd completely forgotten about those requests you took, and it wasn't until you mentioned in a comment that you were planning on finishing it that I went, "...Oh yeah, that's right." Then I was excited because yay, yuri!

I enjoyed this a lot, and not least of all because with the way canon has progressed in the time since I requested it, this pairing wasn't looming quite as large in my mind anymore. Because of that, it was really neat to be able to go back and revisit their dynamic, and remember why I like the pairing in the first place. The Tatsuki/Renji hints were cute too. :D

I also really loved how you structured it, intertwining the school/daily life scenes with the sex scene. Something about how you juxtaposed them made the intimate scene feel very immediate, and I really liked the effect. The whole feel of the story was excellent. You had just the right balance in the tone, I thought: there was a thread of melancholy through the whole thing that made it feel very real, without transforming it into melodrama or extreme angst.

Thank you so much for this. ♥
