Here I was checking up on Pixiv, having happened to stumble upon a wonderful Gin/Sanji author. And then I thought, "Hey, maybe that awesome bluewalk who had written that awesome Gin/Sanji fic could have written another awesome Gin/Sanji fic" and went to check out your journal. Aaaaaand... YES.
You've captured Gin's personality perfectly. The cigarettes in the ashtray, burning like incense, an offering to some god, along with Gin's prayer was an amazing touch which may have broken my heart a bit, and you've developed the motif of hunger perfectly. This fic is wonderful and you are wonderful but Gin really could use some happy in his life ;_;

I'm sorry this reply is so late!! First week of the school semester just ended, and things are already hectic :(

But oh, thank you for thinking of me for your Gin/Sanji needs! I feel like I am feeling a niche in the fanfic market here-- glad I could deliver! Thank you so much, as always, for reading and leaving such kind comments. They really mean a lot!

I want Gin to be happy too. This is actually part of a massive 7000+ word fic/monstrosity that I have sitting around on my hard drive. I don't know if it is ever going to get posted, but Gin does gets a break... kind of. Well, he gets more Sanji anyway, so he's happy enough!

Thank you again &hearts

Oh Gin is so screwed.

[bluewalk]

Every time I see your icon, I always want to mimic Buggy and go "ASDSKFL!!" because I am always so excited to get comments from you.

Yes, poor Gin. He's got it bad, that one. The thing about Gin and Sanji though (of course, I can only claim to speak for myself here) is that it's more obsession/fascination/some other very uncomfortable feeling on Gin's end rather than love, or anything resembling love. I don't even think he admires Sanji so much as he has this weird, inexplicable feeling of gravitation towards him, because Sanji's so kind, but in such an asshole-y sort of way, and Gin's just like what do I do with that I don't get it. Or maybe he really is in love, but is just too screwed up to recognize it for what it is. XD

Anyway... thanks for dropping by &hearts

I can't stop from reading this over and over (and all your other fics for that matter) but I've been a horrible lurker and have not commented. This must be amended now. ;w;

First off, I love love love the imagery you use in the fic! I was originally going to quote things but then it ended up I quoted almost all of your story. |D

Gin's hunger and longing, the way you described it--it was so perfect and heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. Their banter was absolutely fantastic and so IC I almost cried.

On a random side note, every time I see you updated on the Grandline News I get inexplicably happy. |D Seriously though, your stories to me is like All Blue to Sanji. ;w;

[ekans]

Argh how did it get cut off
*Their banter was absolutely fantastic and so IC I almost cried. Every little motion Sanji does, wow the things running through Gin's head, it's so real. It hurts to see Gin like this, but hurt in a good way. (?) ;w;

Also, sorry for sounding like a creeper. D:

HOW TO MAKE WORDS. HOW TO BE COHERENT PERSON AND NOT PUDDLE OF FLAIL al;dksla;dka;

Seriously, thank you so much!! You have no idea how-- how absolutely floored I am to receive such a lovely, lovely comment. I swear I can feel my heartrate increasing..... guh. Thank you.

I have to say that this fic is in my top three of Things I've Written That I Actually Like, not because it's necessarily the best written, but because it's just... really close to me, if that makes sense. So, to hear that you enjoyed it, means so, so much. Thank you for every single one of your kind words. Waking up to this comment was like waking up to All Blue &hearts&hearts

[ekans]

You deserve many many more lovely comments! ;w; Thank you for writing these amazing stories.

I think it kinda hit close to me too, in some way, so I understand what you mean. XD

Random, but I'm absolutely thrilled to find someone who writes mostly Sanji gen/pairings without pr0nz. I do like pairings, but subtle pairings, like stuff you could see as bromance--maybe because it feels more canon that way LOL...

Also it's wonderful to see that I'm not the only one who likes Sanji so much 8D /fail

UGGGGGH THIS IS SO TERRIBLY BEAUTIFUL WHYYYYY
by terribly I mean not-terrible and just freaking amazing and aksdjf ;_;

Friggin Gin. Making me feel feels I did not have before. Gin feels. Well, I've had Gin feels before mostly because Baratie's one of my most fave arcs and most reread arcs and Gin is so very Gin there. ugh ;w; Rather, I guess I've refound my Gin feels. Let me go reread Baratie again bec I haven't in a long while huhu.

But before I do, FAVORITE LINES.

And there are things he wants to say, white-hot words bubbling in the acid of his stomach, visceral sentences nesting in the dip of his tongue.
Oh my god this is so amazing. This must be my most favorite line ever--because I've felt this before. That feeling of wanting to say something but it's stuck in my throat, or even deeper, in my stomach. I just can't, can't get it out. Because it hurts like acid running up my throat I just /cries
BEAUTIFUL.

Also, He glances up from their shoes, the space he cannot bring himself to cross. but Sanji unfolds himself, crosses the
