Aw, the Kai/Yamagata one made me smile, in a sad way. I love how he justfies it and the way he feels.

Bless Mary-Lou, bless her heart. I love this, I love her doing it to keep making herself brave and shaking the skeleton's hand and then thinking how actually, it's rather wonderful - the gestation of her desire to be a nurse, perhaps. :)

There's something wonderfully dark about the second Akira one but it made me laugh a little too, with him not knowing the prayers and just making it up. It's a really evocative conversation piece.

Oh man, the Erik and Nina one gave me SUCH FEELINGS. SHE WANTS TO MEET AND OCTOPUS AND SHE'S NEVER GOING TO AND HE'S SUCH A LOVELY FATHER. :( :( :( It's a lovely fic, I love her childlike accpetence of the mouse having gone away and her little hints and Erik's fears. It's beautiful.

Awww, the last one is adorable! I love her cheerful grumpiness and then very quick costume. Hurrah for Buffy costumes! :)

Aw, thank you so much for the lovely comment! And yeah, I was thinking about Mary-Lou's later interest in medicine with that.

Writing the dialogue / inner thoughts of the Akira guys is often fun - the second one I just wrote in the spur of the moment but I did like it so I'm glad it worked for you!

I'm so glad you liked the Erik and Nina one >:)

The Mary Lou one is adorable and so in character - especially little bits like shaking the skeleton's hand.

Drunk people can be funny, but particularly difficult to write so I think you did a really good job with the drunken I-have-a-point rambling.

I think Gum will be a very good vampire slayer :)

Yay! It's a while since I've written her so I'm glad she seemed ok.

Thank you ^^ I like writing drunken Akira characters particularly, they lend themselves well to it!

I think she will too! I made a joke in one of my first JSR fics about her secretly being Buffy (I didn't say it was a GOOD joke :) ) so it pleased me to write this one. *files crossover away for future challenge*
