I love this :-)

The pace of the fic flows really well, and the way that you show the solidarity between Shuuhei and Matsumoto after Gin's defection, even if it is just for a short time...

A tool designed to reap life itself, and for someone who'd always been terrified of death, Shuuhei didn't think that was the best match.

I loved this too, and the play off between the two of them. There aren't enough fics out there that deal with Shuuhei's inner thoughts and turmoil from everything that's happened to him.

Thanks for this!

Thank you!! I'm so glad that you liked it :D It was my first time writing a fic that focused on Shuuhei, and I'm very proud of the way it turned out. Not enough fics that explore all the traumas of his life, that is for damn sure!

Once again thank you for commenting ♥

Oh holy hells! THIS!
Guh, I can't even convey what your writing does to me, every single damn time! Lol.
But this is absoultely gorgeous.
It's like cold fire and diamond edges, wreathed in rising charcoal-gray smudges of smoke that lures prey close with a promise of safety, merely concealing the blades that will bite deep and spill crimson blood and Shuuhei's battered, lonely soul (and damn, I have no idea where that came from; this was just...yeah).

Seeking to find what lies within him in others, Gin and Ran and Ukitake...and Kazeshini. Oh Shuuhei, you only need to look to yourself, look to Kaze...
And the end, so, so brilliant.
Claiming KAzeshini is like claiming himself, and when he meets Kensei at last, he will stand tall (er, despite his injuries) and meet him on a field of equality, and this time it will be Kensei's turn to fall.

:D

I wrote this with people like you and xglimpsex in mind, as I know how much you two love Shuuhei and the KenShuu pairing! That sentence of yours is so beautifully descriptive, by the way, and there's more pretty in those words than my entire fic! Hehe.

It's my believe that Shuuhei could really grow as both a person and a soldier, if only he'd find a way to embrace Kazeshini's power. But it's no wonder that he didn't when you consider his own fears, and the warped beliefs that Tousen instilled. Looking at the recent manga chapters I'd say that he's made progress, he managed to kill the captain who he still seemed to care for deeply. Good on you for having determination, Shuu!

Now it's just a matter of seeing where he goes after this, as his face looked broken all over again when Tousen 'sploded. Maybe I'll decide to write how things go when he sees Kensei on the battlefield. Time will tell, but thank you for commenting!

Aww! I heart you even more now! My sentence? That? Really? I thought I came across as cracked in the brain when I just re-read that, but I really couldn't articulate just how this piece had made me feel

Yes! I find it fascinating when we get a look into Shuuhei's inner torment, and it's written well. The parts about Gin and Rangiku were so beautiful--I had this mental image of Shuuhei in bed with them, eyes closed, imagining that the hands and body against his were larger and far warmer than Gin's (I have this idea that Gin, cause he's so skinny, is cold) and his despair over the fact that they're not. And Ukitake...that made me want to cry (cause I ship it--I ship it with the heat of a thousand suns...) Ukitake is so very much the personification of Death, so I was thrilled when I read that part ( ... )

Oh, you recognized all the strong points!! I've imagined the same thing when it comes to Gin. He's so thin and PALE, it's like looking at ice. I can't imagine that touching him is much different. I think I mentioned his cold fingers at some point, and that was one of the contrasts I was thinking of. I imagine Kensei to be incredibly powerful and hot, compared to Gin's coldness and...more 'delicate' supremacy. It's like I see Gin being powerful in a chilling way, like little pins or shards of ice across your skin, and Kensei is just raw, scorching energy ( ... )

Well that was intense. And beautiful. And intense. And dark. And intense. :D

And oh, the end just slayed me.

I loved it. :)

blood_crow February 17 2010, 22:02:59 UTC

Intense and dark was everything I was going for with this one! I'm so due for some actual Shuu/Kaze sex, I just haven't gotten around to it xD But I'm glad you loved this, and your icon....nnngh.

figaro_figaro February 17 2010, 22:07:47 UTC

I'm so starved on Shuuhei doing some down and dirty straight up fucking that I can see him paired up with pretty much anyone atm. XD But Kazeshini is def in the top three.

I almost fear using this icon. It makes me drool too. o__O

(And yeah, you certainly managed what you aimed for with your fic. :D)

blood_crow February 17 2010, 22:19:28 UTC

Could your top three consist of Kazeshini, Renji or Kensei? I know mine certainly does! The last fuck fic I read with Shuuhei involved a topping, deliciously psychotic Kira.

I fear using this icon. I say they're both about equal for being sinfully drool-worthy.

...I have no coherent response to this, so please allow me to give some incoherent ones.
GUH. THIS. YOU. jgfdklgadklKEYBOARD.

Poor Ran.

Oh Shuuhei.

This was utterly gorgeous. Devistating. Heart wrenching.
I'll try to leave you a better comment after class, once I've regathered my wits.

8D

You know for the past week I've been working on other fics, but both of them are in much need of tweaking, still. Like I said in the A/N I would've never thought to write this if it wasn't for the dream I had, and when I decided to write it only took me a few hours to finish. The words just flowed seamlessly and it has to be one of my best works to date, imho. If only all my writing could be so effortless :D

Like I told gypsygrrl420 I wrote this with you guys in mind! Even did a little third person for ya. It looks like I managed to deliver something decent? I'm so glad!

xglimpsex February 18 2010, 04:18:14 UTC

It's amazing.
I feel utterly flattered.

Thank you! 8)

willidan February 17 2010, 15:59:04 UTC

This was amazing. Unexpected pairings, but well written and compelling. Thanks for sharing.

blood_crow February 17 2010, 22:11:09 UTC

XD Thank you so much!!! I've always liked Ukitake/Shuuhei and Shuuhei/Kazeshini (hell, Shuu/Rangiku is nice too) but Gin/Shuu was never a consideration. Something about this fic made me like the idea of that pairing very much, though...

I'm glad you liked it! And I like your icon ♥
