Title: Equal Exchange

Wordcount: 856
A/N: This one. I have absolutely no idea where it came from. Basically, I have come to realise that at some point in every Holic writer's career they must write a Watanuki-inherits-the-shop fic. I don't think he will...but I had this idea. And listening to Recessional and a cover of Cannonball ( Read more... )

PEN-CHAN. PEN-CHAN I LOVE YOU MUCHLY FOR THIS.

Oh, wow. The first one broke my heart, dammit. And the second one--I REMEMBER that one. It's from FOREVER ago. Wow. Wooooow.

♥ x A MILLION

X3 Thank you.

It broke my heart, writing it. Actually, both did. Kiin can testify to that. And the second...well, we discussed that. XD

In different ways, both of these break my heart into little pieces, especially the first one. It's just perfectly bittersweet.

Thank you! They're sad. It broke my own heart, writing them. But the happy kind of heartbreaking.

The first one almost made me cry. :( It was so sad and well written, you could just feel their heartbreak. The second one was also very sad, and had an interesting premise.

Did it really? :D Thanks! Sad was the objective here, heartbreak an added bonus.

Interesting premises are always good. XD

But if only every writer's Watanuki-inheriting-shop-fic was as good as yours... and it was sad. Sad and damn you, also the kind of thing that I'm going to read until my little fangirl heart is in tiny little pieces on the ground.

The second one was mildly confusing (I don't recognize the AU), but pretty. And argh, Doumeki. I shouldn't be sympathizing. I shouldn't. And yet I am. >.>

Aw, thanks! I've actually read some that blow this piece absolutely out of the water. But still, thanks. X3 Sad yes, and don't break your heart too much. [offers dustpan and broom]

I've posted another snippet set in that universe, but it was my original characters, not the 104 sidestory. >.> I probably should have explained it more. And don't feel too bad for feeling bad for Doumeki - a lot more of what he did was out of his control than he thinks.

If so, then I want to read them, because they will be several levels beyond awesome. And heart is already broken. Can never be fixed :( Except by more fic of course... and I need to think of a drabble request.

Ah. That's good to know.

cannonball covered by vienna teng? as in, damien rice's cannonball? :O! HOW FASCINATING. >:D

but the first one, lkdjfls. you letting a ghost fly free and the ending, alfd, i got a bit teary-eyed. Dx 's beautiful, though.

and that second fic, just. i've been reading angsty fic all day long, and for a second there i thought this would be one as well, but noooooooeees. it was sort of fluffy! ... well no, but. still. :D

You’re not sure exactly how much this is going to hurt you

i really liked that sentence. ♥
