Professor Agasa-mun! I didn't expect you to be reading this! ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you so much! I'm glad you loved the fic-the Professor needs more love, doesn't he? I'll try to write more of him in the future!

Great, now I'm beginning to miss roleplaying. . . . Then again, considering how horrible I am at tagging back quickly, I guess it's for the best. . . .

Good exploration of Agasa's character here. I like how he's not really attracted to anyone. It makes this fic really stand out from all the PWPs out there.

He really is a good father, but it's sad how bad some of the other fathers are. Though maybe we're not seeing the whole perspective on them? Maybe Yusaku has some secret reason for why he's not around that hasn't been revealed yet?

As for criticism, I'm not positive but it feels like the tenses keep changing. "If the answer ends up being in the affirmative, then, he can truly say he wasn't alone anymore." Should it be "isn't" instead of "wasn't", or am I completely off?

To be honest, I never really thought of Professor Agasa as asexual or aromantic before writing this, but as I was writing it, it just makes so much sense! Think about it, the only time we see him think or mention Fusae was during that first-love case of his, and he doesn't seem to feel the need to have a wife or a girlfriend. (And he doesn't seem to be gay, either, har har

"It makes this fic really stand out from all the PWPs out there."

Sorry, I was actually trying to say that it's nice to have a fic that has an asexual character, considering all the fics about the characters only having sex. I just found out what PWP meant before posting my first comment, and they get on my nerves. It was a weird thing to say though. Sorry for the confusion!

Maybe Yuusaku is investigating the Black Org.'s overseas dealings? And all this stuff about "hiding from his editors" is actually his private code for staying ahead of the Black Org.? In that case, leaving Shinichi by himself would probably be in order to show the Black Org. that his son doesn't know anything. Yuusaku might have made a deal with the Black Org. that everyone plays by certain rules, and that he would do X if the Black Org. tries to use his son against him. Of course, then Shinichi went and got involved on his own...

Thank goodness it was all just a misunderstanding! It's kind of awkward for a fic about an asexual character to be compared to a PWP (though still sensible, as some asexuals do masturbate). Don't worry about it, though; it happens. *grins

I keep rereading this, trying to find something to comment coherently on, but I always end up just sighing happily to myself and smiling. But here goes one last try...

I love this peek into Agasa's life, and his satisfaction with things as they are. It may not be standard or expected, but it's his, and makes him happy!

I really do enjoy the whole feel of this piece, too, not just the topic! The tone of the fic is contemplative and content, and that last paragraph is especially evocative of a feeling of fond nostalgia. It's just... really feel-good, if you will. A story it'll be nice to come back to when I'm not feeling so good, I suspect.

Thank you once again for writing this for me! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, and you for doing it. ♥

As no one else's opinion matters more than yours (I'd written this for you, after all), I'm really, truly flattered that the fic I wrote for you made you so happy. *blushes* It really is the highest compliment a fic writer could ever receive; thank you for that. (And I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who keeps rereading her favorite fics from time to time

Aw, I really liked this look at Dr. Agasa's life and psychology, I loved his thoughts and the way Ai and the Detective Boys add so much to his life. And the little flashback to Shinichi and Ran bickering! So cute!
