Awww. Very touching on both sides.

It makes perfect sense that Hisagi is "the king of mixed signals". :)

Thank you very much!

Mixed-signal Hisagi is so much fun to play with.

When I saw you updated, I literally did this:

I am so glad you're enjoying this! Things have been a bit busy, and I am also working on a Supernatural Big Bang fic that's due May 1 (eek!) so things slowed down a tad on this one.

When it comes to writing fic, I mostly write gen, but have drifted into slash and het on occasion (and I have a long, long rant pending on how much I dislike the general rigidity of the het-gen-slash categories). Anyhow... This story ended up having a bit more romance than I had originally anticipated. I even wound up writing in a couple of pairings that I normally don't ship, but that just seemed right for this story.

Any talk of Tousen and Gin returning sends chills down my spine, because it makes me think of Aizen.

Also the terrible part highlighted by this fic is that even though Tousen and Aizen were bad guys, when they were pretending to be good they actually inspired people to do good things as well, and that bites the most. Good job on bring that dichotomy out!

Thank you very much!

I'm so glad that complication about the 'good' side of Tousen and Aizen came through clearly.
