I thought your drabble was great, and told you so. XD Be proud of it!

I really enjoy writing missing scenes and violence hahaha, so I'm very happy you enjoyed reading this! It was originally written in 3rd person. Halfway through it somehow become second person, so I decided to just rewrite it as that to make Yoite's perspective more immediate. I'm glad that worked out.

As for the pot stew - it wasn't really a typo, until I checked on it via Google and realized you don't make pot stews, you only make crock pot stews. So, yes, and 'of' is absolutely appropriate, thank you very very much for pointing it out!

And thank you very very much for your thoughtful review, and for reading. It means a lot to me. =)

That was amazingly beautiful and morbid but so... Yoite. I love it<3 And your writing, too, and the use of 2nd person<33

Yay, I'm so glad! I've been having the hardest time writing fic for this fandom because of characterization problems, so I'm very happy that you think it is Yoite-like. ♥ Thank you for reading! :D

This is probably the most amazing fic I have ever read. The prose flows so beautifully - like publishable writing, even - and the thought you put into every emotion and interaction backs it up perfectly. I love how you portray Yoite so fairly, without glossing over the dark parts of him but without unnecessarily dwelling on them, either. And the way your write Yukimi is pure love.

Thank you so much for contributing this to the fandom. <3

ugh, sorry for repeated HTML fail D:

I realized how much I like Yukimi after writing this. He's such a cool character, and I think his interactions with Yoite are very meaningful. It doesn't have the whole fate-destiny-vibe of Yoite and Miharu, but in a way, their dysfunctional-familyness is even more special.

A-and, thank you very much for your flattering comment. ^^;; I've wanted to write in this fandom since I discovered Nabari last October, but it was really hard. The fact that you liked the prose and Yoite's portrayal (and yes, fairness is very important) makes me extremely happy. ♥

Thank you for reading!

And the HTML fail is no problem at all XD

Whoa. That was....Amazing. So beautiful.

I, I'm ashamed I can't write you a proper review to say just how much I liked this, but, but...My mind went blank while reading this. I think I even forgot to breathe for a moment there.

Your writing is really beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing, and I hope I can read more of your work sometime~ (^-^)

Let's celebrate the angst! XD I think it is one of the most powerful aspects of Nabari, and it's also one of the things that makes the story so moving. So I'm glad you enjoyed this angst-laden story, and thank you very much for commenting! It means a lot to me and makes me really happy. :D
