And finally it's done and up! <3 *hangs uup proddy stick for now*

Seriously? One of your finest, evar. :D I loved the process of making the raw chapter, I loved watching the words go up and the sequences fall into place, I loved the entire thing post-editing.

Ah, gorgeousness. I'll post up a final, edited review after I've gotten some sleep, or you'll get a Dumbledore-esque review: "Allow me to say a few words: Oddment! Nitwit! Blubber! Tweak!"

Guuh Philosophy essay. Make sense, darn you.

LOL, that's what you get for sitting on IM with me all of the time. You make the whole process of, "OMG I'M SUCK WHO IS ONLINE AND CAN HELP?! *finds someone and send them lots and lots of snippets*" a lot easier. ♥

*snerk* As LOLarious as it would be, I appreciate your self-control. :)

Make sense, darn you.

Kinda hard, given the topic. I mean, what?

[eyeflower]

I squealed. No, seriously, I literally squealed when the author alert notification popped up in my e-mail.

(Seriously, Inuyasha and Miroku. What. The. JUNK.)

Woooooonderrrfuul junk. So manly and tasty. :D [/creepy]

Gave you a proper review over at FF.net. I think there was a minor typo in your chapter (I think you wrote food instead of fool?), but I lost it and I'm too hungry to go find it right now. Will poke at it later, after I've satisfied my hunger. ^3^

I swear, this makes me stupidly happy to hear. My grin is probably about to break my face. :D

OM NOM NOM-- I mean, what? Seriously though, that part was such a headache to write. I definitely need to work on my manly!friendship skills. I'm glad it went over well in the end. =P

Caught and fixed! Thanks for the tip!

Haha, yay! :D

It was heart wrenching, raw but civil at the same time! Your manly friendship skills are more than adequate for this particular friendship pairing! Inuyasha likes to physically abuse the poor monk in my stories, so I'm not sure I have any room to speak. <.< Although, Miroku's never really fought back... *trails off* Hrm. Another plot bunny. Well, frick.

You are a very bad influence on my poor brain. What am I supposed to do with all of these ideas when you so skillfully plant them in my brain, huh? Huh!? ;3;

LOL, no joke. It's kinda ironic, considering just how mutually abusive their friendship is sometimes. Miroku definitely needs an opportunity to retaliate. You know, balance out the scale... *pointed stare*

LOL, well... I'm actually intending to open up a friendship fic challenge in the next few days, sooooo. I guess you're just going to have to jump in on the fun, bwahaha! :D

I went over to read the last chapter just now and it's...wow. The ending! You and your good endings! I think the way you handled the tentative blooming romance between Miroku and Sango really well. I loved the sort of fragility of that moment. (I guess that's the right word.)

Again, I find it hard to get inside Miroku's head. But I'm glad you decided to make Sango less of an influence on Miroku's return. I think that works better, especially if this is a pre-proposal fic. It seems like it was set pretty early in their relationship, but at a point where, as you said in the story, it's clear there's more than just simple friendship between them.

And noooow...Drifting! Right? Right? *prods*

It's actually set immediately before the proposal. So, imagine that their next stop - though they don't know it yet - is the Village of the Oni Women. I wrote the entire story with that in mind. :)

It was an interesting line to walk, especially with Miroku. Sango's a lot easier to read, and we see more of her thoughts, where we're left in the dark with her regarding Miroku's thoughts. It took a while to get the right feel for it, but I'm really happy about where it went in the end.

And noooow...Drifting! Right? Right? *prods*

LOL. Well, I have a few other, shorter projects I want to wrap up before I start considering that. But... we'll see. :D
