*dies* :DDDDDDDDD andyousayyoucan'twriteoutofcontextfic--!!!! I shall bounce around like an idiot, now.

Arashi seems to be growing a sense of humor, doesn't she? She's right dry, and I love how Sorata immediately turns to Karen for a reaction. Because she would be the one to turn to. XD I love the detail of Kamui finding out Subaru was coming over and then spending the whole day nervous, he's so like that. XD And how you touched on the other not-sword aspect of Arashi's powers, and the fact that she takes cold showers, because I bet she is weird enough to like that. XDD AND AND--!!

Hee. Arashi's just so... what's the word... sane in this story. XD I'd forgotten that she could be. She's quite dry and cheerful in a dot-dot-dot sort of way, and Sorata's just... well, he isn't teasing her, which would be why. But he's so mature and cute in it. XD You write him so much more sane than I can. *dies sparkling* but really I'm just unable to review this properly, because I'm dead from win. *pimps out story to world*

*grins* Okay, you are *way* too much fun to write for. *hugs* I'm glad you liked it! (Of course, your Sorata is what I'm used to reading now, so I spent half the fic being anxious over him not being, um, madly hyper. ^^) And I'm very happy that you liked some of the other-character bits, because this is the first I've ever tried writing anyone from the series other than Sora and Arashi. *^^*

..."forgotten that Arashi could be sane." Oh my. ^^

What can I say? My Arashi spends too much time around Subaru. XD He's a bad influence.

(Of course, your Sorata is what I'm used to reading now, so I spent half the fic being anxious over him not being, um, madly hyper. ^^)

And I always like the way you write Arashi (not just that whole "sane" trait, although there is that), so we're balanced out. XD My Sorata can be serious, he just... actively chooses not to be. It's just more fun that way.

[umadoshi]

Ahhh yes, Arashi/Subaru fic. ^_- Good times.

Hello ~ I got here via hinikuish's journal, since she mentioned that you'd written this fanfic - and I must say that the above fanfic is really very good! The hype was evidently true. I loved the way you wrote Arashi and Sorata in this, and the fact that the other Seals got a bit of time spent on them too made a very nice addition. And I really liked the way that magic was brought into the fanfic.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. *^^* It was a fun little thing to write.

[umadoshi]

*pets* Yes, yes you are. ^^
