My first solo foray into the turbid waters of Return to Sender. I hope it's not too, um, internal monologue-y.

holy crud first comment? for one of your stories O_o ..... >> ....woah

THIS IS 10 KINDS OF AWESOME !!!!!!!
really enjoyed it and it is certainly not too internal monologue-y

now i hope the UST becomes RST and we can RIP (in a good way) .....good lord i'm hyper so i'll sign off beofre i say something moronic XD

[iambickilometer]

That's because I didn't have time to link to it at Deep Connection. ;D And because you are prompt and sneaky. Like a fic-reading ninja.

Why thank you. :D And the UST... weeeeeeell, that would be telling, yes? You'll have to wait and see.

[sillyangelfaery]

...That is scary-creepy. No, really, I'm not making this up:

"now i hope the UST becomes RST"

THAT...IS WHAT I PUT AS THE RATING FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER. It says "UST. Well, really more RST. Sort of."

GOD YOU'RE GOOD.

@iambic - i am ze fic ninja *makes random 70's kung-fu movie noises* XDD
and yes that would be telling ....but eventually it shall be told so i can wait (although for how long i certainly don't know)....now i have an idea for an lj icon that involves ninjas

@ sillyangelfaery (you wouldnt happen to have a nick i can call you would you XD?)
well i seem to be in everyones mind (but my own) as of late but i daresay that is rather freaky ...even for me....cool XDD

[cheloya]

*pats Doumeki's back* ;_; I-it'll be all right, buddy. Don't you worry.

Need I add that now I really, really, REALLY want the next part of Return to Sender? D-didn't think so.

[iambickilometer]

XD He's certainly getting a lot of sympathy for this. Then again, I suppose he warrants it. Poro Shizuka.

And you will get it. As soon as we write it. >.>

[eerisedda]

That was not happy.

Ugh.

That wasn't even close! That wasn't better, that was worse. Heartwrenchingly worse. Arg.

-dies-

So sad. Poor Doumeki! I just want to hug him tight and tell him it's going to be okay.

-cries-

Evil people. I expect a happy ending for this, yes I do.

[iambickilometer]

In self-defense, I never claimed it would be. >.> I'm sorry?

But don't die! I swear true love will triumph in the end! ...Sorta. Kinda. Maybe. We'll see. Keep in mind, it's Faery-jess' plot. That's gotta mean something. Also, it's not X. Or Tokyo Babylon. orCodeBlueIMEANWHUT.

[eerisedda]

I know it's Faery-jess'. hehe.

What do you mean it's not Tokyo Babylon? Does that not have a happy ending?!?!?!? -dies- (I need to finish it.)

Code Blue? Sad? That is not good incentive for me to read it even if I will read it regardless. Taka.

I suppose the torture won't end soon, then?

>_

[iambickilometer]

I'm not saying anything about sad endings. I'm talking about true love winning out in the end. Two completely different things in my book.

Code Blue is not sad. It's just... long and suspenseful. XD

End? Never. >.>

[popkin16]

The entire piece made me go, "Ouch." Somehow though, the end - Doumeki's letter to Vera - that hurt the most. Or maybe I'm just weird. >.>

Still, this was absolutely wonderful. I'd been sort of hoping we'd get to know Doumeki's thoughts on the airport scene. Now I want to know what Kimihiro is going to do now.

XD Great job!

[iambickilometer]

That was the intention. ;D Faery-jess shouldn't have let me go off on my own, I'm terrible about causing readers pain. And yeah, the letter at the end was meant to be a final stab to the heart - just the admittal of defeat, simply stated and deadly.

Thank you! Yeah, after we wrote that I knew I had to do a sidestory. Shizuka had to get his two cents in. And as for what Watanuki will do... well, only time will tell, of course.

[popkin16]

I think that's what made it hurt the most - it was simple and concise. Maybe Faery-jess let you go off on your own knowing you'd cause the readers pain.

You're welcome! Now that I know how Shizuka is feeling, I'm even more anxious to find out about Watanuki. But it's just as you said: only time will tell what he'll do, because we have to wait for an update.

[iambickilometer]

That's gotta be it. XD

Yeah. Update. That thing. It's coming, I swear.

[tomoyohime8]

*hugs doumeki tight*

sob.

it's your move now, kimihiro.

[iambickilometer]

At least he gets love from his fans...?

And so it is. And what a move it'll have to be.

Kimihiro: ASDLKJDKLD;LA,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

WE'RE SORRY. THE NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. PLEASE HANG UP AND TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN.

And er. Sorry, Doumeki? Eh heh. *sweatdrop*
