This was all kinds of great--you have the best ideas :D

I wanted to SPOT! just writing "kameno♥♥", but while clickling "speak" I spotted the last lines (yes I'm that #fail, too many books in my life and my eyes read even when I don't want to) so i'm gonna SPOT! saying "I'll be back as soon as possible to read this Kameno ♥♥♥"

WHY ARE YOU SO TALENTED, SARA. ;O; This is one of the best-est ideas that I've ever read. It's everything so balanced and setsunai. I legit had tears in the last part, I realized with a shiver what was going to happen.
*end of sane comment*

THE ANGST. THE CREEPY. OMG THIS FIC. I love the twisted feelings that gives me. ;__________; *tears*
*can't comment more*

(Side note: I admit I had a moment of "mh? o.o" when I read The Phoenix because I couldn't help but remind a famous theatre. My mind changed by its own the setting of the story to Venice's La Fenice theatre xD;; I don't know if it was wanted or not (I guess not cuz the description is different), but yet... xD;;)

FHJSDFHDSJK I'M FLATTERED THAT YOU THINK SO >///< ♥ I loved this idea when I first thought of it but I was all :S while writing it because creepy angst is the opp of what I usually write and the execution had to be just so to get all the creepy feelings right and HELLO ANXIETY but ngl, killing off Kame was all sorts of fun :B :B #iluKame #bestfan ♥

YOUR COMMENT MAKES ME GLEEFUL, ISI. I finally managed to write twisted angst \:D/ thank you for reading ♥♥

I chose to name the theatre, The Phoenix, because from the prompt "Let's be birds of the summer flame, wearing golden, golden masks" it was the first image to come to mind, but the fact that made you envision such a grand theatre is AWESOME *____*\m/)

I like Sarangst and you should write it more. And creepy/twisted/mindfucking stories are so difficult to write, even more than angst, and you did it so well ♥ LOL yes killing Kame in fics gives a sort of sadistic pleasure lmao xD;;
And about fav lines:
Kazuya's skin is still too pale. Taguchi rubs harder until his arm aches and Kazuya's cheeks are finally raw and pink. Alive.

Yuya is perfect and yet Kazuya is the one he loves.

Kazuya's eyes are hard with honesty. "I will never return your feelings."
All these 3 made me go ._____. ;________;
And the. final. line. I can't even express the feelings, I was really just close to tears ;_;

It was the combination of "theatre", "the Phoenix" (lit. for La Fenice) and this line: "rising from the crumbling wood before the wood could burn to ash" (this theatre is famous because it burnt down due to a fire twice. A name, a destiny, I'd say). But it was a great scenery indeed, imaging Kame acting on that great stage and Junno looking at him from backstage... and then visualizing Kame lying on ( ... )

Well. What can I say that won't turn me into a mess, a curled up ball in the corner? The summary drew me in and it was executed flawlessly and the creep factor was x100.

I really like the meta of all the Ore Ore-ness going on, how Junno "creates" these roles for Kame to step into. How Kame completely changes and how Junno is human and uses his power for his own benefit. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU NOT WIPE OFF THE LIPSTICK? I love how each character transitions into the next, the motivation behind Junno creating them clear as day.

Taguchi watched the man tear out a piece of himself and deliver it to him through the carefully memorised lines.
This already tells us a whole lot of what we need to know about Kame and it hurts.

Hope is always worth retelling. It's what kept him going when he sat shivering in the cold as carriages driving past drenched him with sludge, just hoping and waiting that his mother would return soon and pay the landlady so he could go back inside.
I want to cuddle Junno. :(

[...] Taguchi learns two things: He's in ( ... )

(con't)

The cakes at the bakery powdered with snowy sugar, the jump rope he saw children skipping with on the sidewalk, his mother's warmth, his father's acknowledgement, a family to call his home. Dreams he has long released to the wind.
Ugh. orz -ugly crying face-

If they had met back then, Kazuya would have retrieved his dreams from the wind and folded them back into Taguchi's hands.
Gorgeous line.

[...] and a heartbeat later, the words drop off his lips like stray marbles.
Adore this description, very original, imo.

Bem, who is searching for love and acceptance, would never shun him.
Bem~ ;_________; Don't reject him, please!

Smiles have always come easily to Taguchi, for reasons he can't explain.
Honestly, idk if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

He channels all his anger into the red flannel as he sews and creates Kyouhei.Now I definitely get this because Junno is realizing for this first time that Kame outright rejected him because he's him and not because Kame's not into men. Junno keeps pining away but I feel like ( ... )

the summary drew you in fhsdkjfhdskj YAYAYAY i hate writing summaries, but so happy this one worked. :'D WAS THE CREEPO FACTOR REALLY x100? I would rate it as 50. It could have been so much worse but luckily for you, I am easily squicked :B

I made the outline for this fic before Ore Ore was announced but I was totally thinking about it while writing, such a perfectly timed coincidence. ♥

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU NOT WIPE OFF THE LIPSTICK?
loving your outrage ♥ for me, it's because he wanted Kame to remember. Erasing the lipstick would erase what had happened from Kame's memory as well and Junno had already been through that with Yuya. When he said it's enough, it was more out of frustration because it's not enough. He wants Kame to remember the passion they shared and yes, he knows Kame will be furious, but he wants that too because there's a chance that the memory of it will make Junno's offer less of an impossibility in Kame's mind.

.... Junno is hopeless, yes. *rolls*

Now I definitely get this because Junno is realizing for this ( ... )

SARAFIC. KAMENO. AND I'M READING IT ON MY BIRTHDAY (the 4th, sorry I'm 2 days late. been jetlagged!)/ THIS IS TOO GOOD.

This is my spot. I'll be back once I'm done! :D

...you wrote creepy!kameno. HOWWHATWOW. @__@ a part of me is like, "WHERE'S THE FLUFF???!?!?! *flails*" XD You've made me too addicted to fluff!

But you know, this was heartbreaking. D: But oddly enough, Junno didn't seem psycho to me. Hopeless, yes. Desperate, yes. Yet it was just all very human.

And this line: "If they had met back then, Kazuya would have retrieved his dreams from the wind and folded them back into Taguchi's hands." I thought it was utterly beautiful! <3

Oooh, and: "Bem, who is searching for love and acceptance, would never shun him." My face: ;_______________________________; Damnit, why are you always making me cry? XD

And you killed Kame. afhafsjfheuifnncv. /sad but it made the story all the more perfect. :D

in your comment to krys you said you'd planned this all out before Ore Ore? That's such an awesome coincidence! it's perfect!

Thanks for making my birthday awesomer with your lovely fic. <3 ( ... )

IT'S YOUR BDAY?! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MINA ゚+:✿。.゚+:✿。.゚+:✿ ♥! I have excellent timing genre-wise, I fail #KY :')

*nods* Junno was just more... hurting and broken than actually craycray. (Kame would obviously disagree but :B)

Best wishes on your special day, Mina ♥ I'm delighted that my fic could add to the occasion even if it brought twisty angst and tears.... >.> ... <.<... >.> /fail. Really though, thank you so much! ♥

arghhhhhhhh nakame angst. I will have to kill one of them off again, bc the only angst i can manage is a tragedy *rolls* will think of smth ^^7

Eheheh, you're channeling Junno's KYness! :PPP And thank you! <3 ;___;

Ugh, looking at my comment it's so incoherent. All I can remember writing it last night was "must. comment. on this. now." Hopefully you got the gist of my flailiness and overall happiness with this fic. ^^

Now that i think about it, a death in a NaKame story would be even sadder than this. Actually, thinking about a devastated Kame or Maru is already wreaking havoc on my heart. YOSH, BRING ON THE ANGST!

Also. *creeper prod prod* May I add you to my friends list? ^^
