…I know I said Primo fic next, BUT I LIED. Instead! There is Yamamoto fic. But who could be sad about that? Yamamoto is the happiest natural-born assassin in all of KHR!

This started out as a little fic about what the baseball team makes of Yamamoto, but then Reborn got hold of it and it spiraled out of control and became VERY FAMILY and also sort ( Read more... )

Sweet. Not a fan of 8059, but I like your writing very much, and I can totally see this happening. Very vivid, firmly anchored in canon, everyone sounds like they should. DELICIOUS, A++ would read again.

de-lurking to say I love it when you write khr fic. I could point out in detail every thing I liked about this one but it'd be silly to just repeat everything you wrote. Please keep doing a better job than Amano herself!
and oh god, now I want to see this from Gokudera's pov in his unique emotionally bipolar way that makes him so awesome... I think I'm in love with your interpretation of the characters

Hooray for delurking! :D Thank you so much for the sweet comment! ♥

...Now you mention it, I don't think I've ever done an entire fic from Gokudera's POV. That...would be EXHAUSTING, omg. XD Maybe someday!

I liked this!

Hana totally should be yours: you clearly like her more than Amano does. :B

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

XD I DO LIKE HER MORE. ...On the other hand, stealing Hana would be character-napping. Which is wrong, illegal, something like that. LE SIGH.

ohh Takeshi, I know that was just burning under your fingernails was it?^^

I loved it obviously <3 I realise that my comments always sound a bit like a broken record, but I can't help myself! It is always weirdly perfect and wonderfully written and poignant and funny and all those other things! I was late today because I saw that you updated and I had to read your story first thing (and that is not the only time that happened either ;_;)

The character interaction was wonderful, Hibari/Chrome still cracks me up, Tsuna is still my favourite and Gokudera is just so precious!! I want to bundle up and hug him and watch him hiss <3<3<3

But! so you don't get bored I'm totally going to critizise two points, watch me!XD

First, you gave me horrible horrible cravings for more Yamamotos-Baseball-Team POV stuff with your first part (actually the newest chapters gave me a general nanimori-high-school-population POV, cause...ehm the half of the school exploded? could someone there please care about that?!, but you made it totally worse!) and ( ... )

Haha, but I'm always glad when you like the fics! ♥

Oh, Gokudera <3 haha, he would definitely hiss. XD And Hibari/Chrome cracks me up, too. Actually, Hibari/anyone cracks me up, WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT, and I don't know how you'll feel about this, but I've been tinkering with a Tsuna/Hibari fic. Um. I keep having to take breaks from it because it is so incredibly messed up ( ... )

I will feel absolutely awesome about Tsuna/Hibari! I'm not so into that pairing normally, but I know your interpretation and I think they really fit well...well as well as Hibari can fit with anyone (and don't think I have forgotten that in your stealth tsuna/everyone fic he got one of the least maybe-vaguely hinted-blink and you'll miss-sex scene^^)

I'm sure it is messed up...but I don't think as messed up as Tsuna/Enma would be! I know there are a lot of boyfriend jokes about them, but talk about a relationship that is sure to crash and burn horribly. they are way, waaayy too similar in all the wrong ways (even though I do enjoy them being so cute together ( ... )

...Your icon. l-lol. XD

I was kinda disappointed that Tsunas match with Iemitsu was such a curb stomp battle in Iemitsus favour...Haha, see, while I PERSONALLY would like to beat the crap out of Iemitsu, I would've been almost disappointed if Tsuna had done well in that fight. Because, yeah, he's pissed at his dad, but...it's still his DAD. This entire battle royale setup is against everything Tsuna stands for, and it would be character-consistent for him to eventually decide he can't fricking handle it. His friends are his pride! Reborn is seriously asking him to FIGHT HIS FRIENDS ( ... )

“What the fuck is my life?” Gokudera moans, head thudding down onto the table.

Hilarious, mostly.

I think that sums up everything perfectly! hahahaha.

As always I love your nuanced look at characters and seeing the extra special crazy of Yamamoto is a treat. While I fell out of the manga and don't really read it anymore, I want you read about you writing the characters forever. You make everyone so whole.

Perfect balance of serious, hilarious, and insane.

Thank you so much!

Poor Gokudera. The tragedy of him is that a big part of what makes his life so hilarious is that he himself totally misses the hilarity. XD Of course, Yamamoto has the opposite problem, which may or may not be better.

I'm glad you're enjoying the fic even though you're not reading the manga! ...I keep telling myself I'm going to stop reading the manga, BUT IT'S LIKE A SICKNESS. Oh well. :D
