Very bittersweet, indeed. I like it how Yuuko stays in denial until the very end, and their silent goodbye.

Also, extra props for throwing in Zagato and Emeraude, hee~ ♥

Oh, wow.

Wow.

The undertone of sensuality, the easy poetry of the prose, the heavy, bittersweet story that is Yuuko and Clow.

I love the formatting --the snapshots are more telling, more powerful, I think, than if you'd written a remote, full-length fic set in one locale.

And I'm also pretty damn fond of the way you framed the story --in between the dancing are dreams and foresight and Clow being an impossible gentleman and Yuuko being Ridiculously Stubborn (the vignette about the Not Kissing was especially poignant, and quite beautiful), and both of them stuck between a past and a future that have never belonged to them.

The poor dears.

You're a badass.

That is all.

Beautiful and bittersweet and such great characterization! Lovely!

In her dreams, there is a boy and there is a girl and there is a beach, with white sand and blue sky and blue-green water that stretches on and on and on.
Oh, is that a reference to Kakyou?

[allira_dream]

Thanks!

And I don't think so? It was mostly meant as a 'normal, quiet, uninteresting life', not really talking about Kakyou, I don't think.

Aw. Just 'aw'.
I adore how you write. One of these days I should go read your older fics.
