*The icon, it says it all.*

...Y'know, half of my mental image of you is based upon that icon. ♥

Weeell, it wouldn't be entirely wrong?

[shadow_of_egypt]

....What d'you mean 'entirely'? *sees nothing wrong with it at all* X3

B'aww. This should be a real fairy tale. Really.

I think you did a good job choosing the characters to the seasons. The connects made perfect sense to me as the story went (and in reading your explanation at the end).

[shadow_of_egypt]

Tsubasa's a fairytale in and of itself. Only we expect it to make more sense. ('Expect' being the keyword there.)

[xxray]

Omg I missed your writing so much!

This was just so... I don't even have the word for it. I guess I'll just "d'aaaaaw" for the rest of my life.

I've had a bunch of problems pile up on me irl and a creative slump came along with them, but...busy working over everything now, fanfic and life-wise. ^^ Ergo, there is a lot of writing getting done, so...expect some more coming out relatively soon. ♥

And 'd'aaaaw' is good~ =w=

Yaaaaay!

Its great to see you writing again. You are one of my top five favorite 'ficcers out there and I really enjoyed this one. The best part was the revived from the dead scene. Perfect- it was perfectly in character for our boys and had just enough irreverence to that tradtitonal trope to really make it snappy.

I am also a sucker for your Nihon fics- I wish there were more of them out there. Even if there were, your works would be among the best. I'm sorry to hear that RL has been a bastard for you lately and hope things are going better out there.

I'm also hoping to see more of Nihon-fic TwoFold some day, and hmmm Triple Lutz too.

*BIG GRIN* You write such awesome stories!

[shadow_of_egypt]

Ffff, thank you very much? ♥

...Kurogane has a certain irreverence for ceremony, no clue about how to act in society, a good temper to work out on idiots who aren't dead when he thinks they're supposed to be, and absolutely no tact whatsoever. Like he would've kissed Fai there, in front of everyone? (In quite a few of the Snow White tales the not-dead!girl's only brought around by being dropped to the ground in her coffin; the jolt jars the apple lodged in her throat. <- I now totally have a perfect fairytale excuse for Fai getting dropped on his ass. X3)

I'm busy working on a very short/derpy Nihon oneshot at the moment actually, which should be up relatively soon. Twofold...truthfully hasn't been looked at for a while, and I want to finish the next chapter of Sleight before moving onto Triple Lutz. (I say this now in high hopes, but when do I ever stick to a schedule?)

Ganbatte, yo! The lovely thing 'bout fan fiction is that is a gift from one fan to another, most times completely anonymous (lets face it, most people don't comment). It is such a generous act that the writer should feel no compulsion to dance to the whims of their fans. So, please write what makes YOU the happiest, as that is the best benefit a writer can hope for (on parallel with getting PAID perhaps ;-) )

I look forward to all of your offerings!

Tsubasa lends itself well to fairytale-style writing, but you've really outdone yourself with this one. I already told you I loved the imagery, and the "four seasons" theme of the story gives it such a lovely mood.

I have to admit you had me afraid for a minute there when Fai had already died...but I knew there had to be a happy ending. It's a fairytale, after all! XD

Lovely work, as always. <3

I kept wanting to go off on all these little tangents and explain all the other characters' back-stories, but I had to rein myself in because I was determined that this story was going to be simple, dammit. It already defied me by being longer than I originally intended it. ;;;

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and now I'm very free to haunt you for Hydona, no?
