FFFF I don't even. Have words to describe just how fucking LOVELY this is. The way you write the relationship between these two, Matt's 'stalker', his love for his furniture. Its so amazing. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
:D:D:D

Oh, thank YOU for taking the time to read it and let me know you enjoyed it! Seriously, I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you very much for all your kind words! ♥

OH MY GOD THERE ARE NO WORDSSSSS.

This is just so... totally perfect -- I'm so in love with James and darling Vlad, and Matt naming all his belongings, and Mello being an ungenerous bitch but then repenting, and the detail, and the dialogue, and Fluffy being a cactus--

There are really just... NO WORDS for how poignant, engaging, and hilarious this is. You are never, ever allowed to say that your writing is mediocre, my dear, because you are damn talented, and your gift for turns of phrase and characterization and your wit shine through every single time.

Thank you so much. ♥

*flails on you*

[koneko_zero]

You like it?! YAY! I'm sorry, I really wish I'd had the money to send you a little gift or something, but... Yeah. I'm sorry! I'm really glad you enjoyed this though. =3

*blushing like mad* Thank you ever so much, darling. Oh, I'm just so glad you enjoyed it! *hugs* U-uhm, I'll try to remember that honey. But seriously, I'm still a total hack compared to you, jenwryn and eltea, so please forgive me if sometimes I don't have quite so much confidence? I promise to try my best though! *punches air*

Thank you so much for the compliments, darling. You're far too lovely to me... Thank you! Like I said, I'm just really pleased that it did brighten your day a little. *dances with joy*

You are more than welcome, sweetheart. *huggles*

Sometimes I think fic is even better than candy, because it doesn't disappear once I've gone through it the first time, haha. XD Either way, THIS fic is better than candy, so--! ;D

PFFFF, I suspect you spend many hours at a time writing behind the scenes. It's the only explanation for the fluidity and naturalness what you post. ;)

:33 *huggles* ♥

[koneko_zero]

Thank you so much, darling. Oh, I am glad that you like it so much! Please excuse me while I just dance here for a minute! =D

*blushing like two short blushing things* Actually. Um. I feel really dumb admitting this, but I mostly just write things out in a notebook in one to two hours in that cafe whilst I have my tea, then type it up, tweak it or maybeextend it slightly whilst I do so, and post. I'm really bad! DX

I think the thing with me is the amount of time I spend in fantasy land. I think I probably spend about 60% of my day daydreaming or reading. If not more. So, when I sit down in thatcafe, I already know the idea I have (it'll have been swinging around in my head for a couple of days, probably) and just need to jot it down.

And spell-check. Goddamn but I love the spell-check. XD

*huggles and cuddles and snuggles* ♥

You review mine, I review yours, hey? XD No, I would've had to review this anyway. It's just so wonderful, and I went into hysterics about Vladimir...It just screamed of Matt, all the way through.
All I have to say is: I WANT A SOFA LIKE FRANK...O.o

Oh, thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, dear. Especially that you think it was so very Matt! I always get nervous writing him, because everyone has such differing opinions of how he should/would act, but he's the one of the Wammy's boys that I identify with most, so... Yeah. I've rather doomed myself! XD

Thank you ever so much for all the kind words!

I had a sofa like Frank! He was fantastic! But it was when I was renting a house during my second year at uni, so when I left I lost him. Very sad. So now I'm just going to have to find one exactly the same... I'll never be happy with my furnishings until then! DX

... And I've rambled. I'm sorry! Thank you again for the lovely comment!

♥

I identify with Matt the most too, I think. Which is quite strange, since he only gets about ten minutes screen time in the anime, and the equivalent of that in the manga...what makes us love him so, I wonder? Methinks it's the goggles XD I really love this piece, I've actually decided I want a leather sofa when I'm older and have my own house, JUST so I can call it Vladimir...
Maybe you should put up missing posters? 'MISSING - ONE SOFA, NAMED FRANK'.
I have absolutely no idea what you could put for a reward though...O.o

...You weren't rambling, by the way XD

[koneko_zero]

The goggles and the blantant geekery of the gaming, for me. Plus he's brilliant like Mello and Near, but more normal, and the loyalty he shows Mello is just insanely endearing.

AND THE GOGGLES.

I ♥ THE GOGGLES.

Oh, wow! *laughs* I've inspired desires for sofas?! That's a major compliment, right there. Thank you, darling!

Oh, I know where it is. But I can't get to it! *cries* I miss my sofa! The sofa itself wasn't named Frank, but Frank was an orchid of mine. He was one tough orchid! I was rubbish at looking after him - he'd be drowned, then have no water for nearly 3 months. He was on a cold windowsil and the leaves were actually dusty. XD When I finally get my hands on a similar sofa, though, it's being called Frank. The next orchid will have to be Fred instead.

Fluffy was really my cactus though. XD

You're far too kind, dear. =3
