*howls* Is it finis as in end of chapter, or finis as in end of fic??! If it's the latter, sequel, please! If you please

Aww, I'm so glad you're the first to respond ^^ Your replies are the absolute best. You put such thought into them. But it's probably b/c you're such a wonderful writer yourself ^^

Yes, it's finished. It has to be. All last semester was dreadful. I sat my first set of Ph.D. exams, and this semester, in about a month, I sit my next two. Then I have an Oral exam, then I begin my dissertation. It just had to end. My heart and soul and brain couldn't take it, hovering over me. I'm just glad I finally got it done. And when I started finishing it up today, it just rolled out of me! It was like the muse had come back ^^

You don't repeat yourself. Or rather ... feel free to repeat yourself, b/c all your compliments give me such a warm glowy feeling inside XDDDD

Thanks, as always, for reading and replying <3

Ah... the sword of Damocles *grin* Good luck on the next set of exams and the orals! And of course the dissertating! May the process be fruitful!

Thanks too for the compliment! And I've to say that every time I think about about Byaren AU, this fic comes to mind, and tells me that yes, it's possible to write AU. *disappears into a bunny hole*

Good luck with all your exams and the preparations for the writing. And if you feel you need a fiction break, do know that I'll be waiting to read with the utmost pleasure!

Aiee, thank you, stop with the compliments! *blush* lol I guess I just write 'em as I see 'em, ya know? ^^

Ohh you should really continue the manga! The anime is crap, but the manga is still good ... though we're all still waiting for that beautiful RenBya reunion *sigh*

It's finished? Awww... ;_; Anyway, I know I haven't commented on this before (funnily enough, because I didn't start reading it until halfway through and wanted to wait until it was done -_-;), but I really loved this series and I say this as someone who isn't really keen on AU's. I just adored the way you were able to tell a completely unique story while keeping everyone in character with how they are in the series.

Oh wow, thank you for commenting!!! It means a lot ^^ Ya know, I don't usually like AUs myself. But sometimes characters just seem to slide so easily into these off-the-wall settings!

Wow, where have you been, dear?? Haven't seen you for awhile~~ ^^

And wah! The finished product you delivered is stunning as always. The words flow just in the right way I can imagine everything vividly in my mind... from the characters, expressions, clothes, and even the scenery! And I love how fluffy this story is~~ both couples are idiots but they're extremely sweet...

Aw man, now I lost one of those fics I eagerly wait for updates... well, I guess things are bound to end? I love you for making this fic and keeping me entertained from start to end!

I've been stuck in RL ^^;;

See my response to hu3long2 (first comment). But I'm so glad I finally managed to finish this. I HATED knowing how long I was making people wait!

And thank you! As always, I must thank YOU for inspiring me with that drawing you did of them in their "fantasy" clothes ^^ Or this would have never happened!

I'm so happy to see that you posted. I was just checking a couple of weeks ago to see if you had posted a new chapter and i had missed it.

Very enjoyable story. Thanks for finishing it up for us!
