*cries* Not the end. NO! But a really lovely end it is too, with plenty of wiggle room for continuation *hint hint*. No, I'm not forcing anything, but I do like fics that end this way, with an end to one thing, with space still left for progression. Because even without continuation this fic offers unrealised hope and that gives the end a kind of lightness > that's the best most inadequate way I can put it.

Everything about this fic was a joy to read. As soon as I discovered this gem of a story, I eagerly anticipated each new chapter. You gave each character a voice, and they were all so lovingly in-character, especially in their interactions with one another.

What you did with the play on Taichou and Fukutaichou was really lovely. I second everything hu3long2 says, with an eloquence that I cannot.

Thank you so much for sharing ♥

Yes, it's the end. THE END. THEEEE EENDDDD. *giant period mark* lol Not b/c I don't want to continue but life is just too difficult and too stressful and too hectic and try and breathe further life into this. I fear the results would be disastrous, so why not end on a nice note *lol*

Thank you for reading and enjoying the story; it was such a labor of love ^^ Yeah the taichou/fukutaichou, it was always somehow intended though I wasn't sure how it would happen. I'm glad it worked out!

Yes, it's the end ^^;;

Although I wouldn't rule out a drabble! That could be fun XD But no more massively long-chaptered fics *lol*

Thanks for commenting and sticking with this thing all the way through to the end! ^^

^____^ what a wonderfully satisfying ending this gorgeous story!

I was bit apprehensive at 1st when you seemed to be going off in a whole new direction but that was before I knew it was the last chapter. (funny how that colours one perceptions.) XD While the whole war with Byakuya leading the rebels his way with Renji by his side would be an AWESOME story, it really is a different story. This story of how they became "lovers who face the world as one" is finished.

I shall miss your writing although I guess I'm already used to missing it. ;_; You have a fresh, uncluttered style that I take great pleasure in reading. *sigh* I know you are at a very busy time in your life just now. Hopefully, we'll see you on the side. But once you have that piece of paper, there follows the career to settle and then, well it never really ends. If it did you would have a lot more (and better) fanart from me. :D I'll probably be hanging about if/when? you do find the time to come out and play.

I'm sad that this wonderful fic is coming to a close, but the ending was so very satisfying and leaves me with such hope for everyone's future. It's been such a pleasure reading this story and you've a real talent for writing all the characters and capturing their essence in this alternate world.

The use of taichou and fukutaichou was a brilliant touch, and I love how Byakuya informed Rukia and Ichigo that they were getting married and that apparently, he approved. ;)

Good luck with your dissertation and exams!

loved it

this was wonderful. I don't review often but I have reread this fic of yours at least three times. favorite chapter is when bya is getting help. This is one of my favorite bleach fanfics out there. Loved how you put renji on top. I hope after your exams you make a new fic because this was absolute genious.

Renji was just adorable in this chapter. The moment he woke up was hilarious and the ending was wonderful too bad in their real relationship they don't have any perks. Favorite part is when renji smiles and byakuya blushes such cuteness.

Byakuya was adorable here. I liked how he was so comanding even if he's a person captured. How he bluntly say that ichigo is going to marry rukia. Glad he accepted it. Renji is such a good influence on him. He melted and was a startled rabbit good mental image. I also liked how he sacraficed all the things about being a noble.
