I love your notes =)

I read everything in the order you posted, and did all that "OMG NEXT FIC NOW PLEASE"-- internally, that is, because I am a failure at giving comments that are more than "OMG" 99% of the time - and I love your fluency. I loved that Jin isn't playing Kame, that he was just sick of Kame being a self-centered dick. It makes Jin real, makes the different aspirations they both had at one point there, but not in-your-face. It makes Jin intelligent (a 3-dimensional Jin is always worth bonus points in my book), but at the same time the way he tried to probe Kame into admitting has this shade of childishness that makes me want to pet him and swat Kame for being obtuse.

Then Kame gets into an accident, he learns to admit to himself that there is something, and it's adorable. Except they're on roads different enough that it might take a while or never before they get it back, and as a reader I'm wincing (and going GIMME THAT NEXT FIC) while really liking that they're mature enough to stay apart, then Kame goes back to Tokyo and it's all good again (plus really hot smut!)-- But what get to me the most is how it's all so fluently said: even though the timeline 'jumped', it was nicely put together at the end. I love reading things that make me need to think to piece bits and pieces the story and timeline together, and this series achieved that. Thank you for the ride.

Thank you so so so so so much for this comment. I'm awed to be praised for fluency because when I write (and backspace and delete and start all over), I find it so difficult to keep a sense of...sense. That is, I'm not really sure if what I'm writing makes sense to everyone else and. Fdfsda. Thank you. ♥

...dasfasdfa. This comment was so nice. I. GUH. THANK YOU.

=) I tend to view backspace and delete as manifestations of perfectionist tendencies.

And now I'll stop pretending to be coherent. adgkfhfdkjg MORE PLEASE!
