Oh. My. Exclamatory-Deity-of-Choice.

You hit everyone and nailed all of their little neuroses. I have a feeling the rest of us will just be expanding upon those themes. My favorites among the little bits? Naoko and Ruby Moon - Yukito's was just heartbreaking, however.

[cygna_hime]

Thanks very much. I actually thought about them for a while, and had been considering some of them before. This challenge just came at the right time.

I like those three a lot. But then, I like all of them. Otherwise I wouldn't have written them.

No reorder!

To be honest, I think I underestimated you. It's one of those things that sounds so mean, but...

I just fics/drabbles/writing on impact (mostly emotionally impact). If you can make me feel for thirty seconds what one of my favorite songs can I'd love you.

I felt like I sunk into them. It is the best feeling in the world, sunk. I can honestly promise you I'll read Regression about sixty more times.

It makes me sad. Which I love. Disillusionment is the perfect word.

You have me beat. I concede.

Honest swear to God.

...Thank you. I'm not sure I've ever received this kind of praise before. But then again, I'm sure I've never written this kind of thing before.

I wrote them, cut them, and reread them, and they still hurt. I can't imagine how you feel. Honestly, I don't know where this came from. It just was there when I wanted it.

Once again, thank you. I don't know how else to say it, but...thank you.

I think they are all really really amazing, although I am not sure I understand Chiharu's. My absolute favorite was Ruby Moon. That is probably my absolute favorite thing I have read in the past few months. It is short and sweet and to the point. I love all the others, too, though, except maybe Chiharu's because it went over my head.

They all felt kind of bittersweet and as though that is what is underneath these characters. Their purpose isn't to be cheerful and feel-good-y so I am not dissapointed at all by the way it seems like they are all acting and not really feeling the things you think. I like feeling Syaoran strive and maybe resent, feeling Tomoyo break out for a few minutes only to retreat again.

This has definitely put you high on my list of authors to watch.

compelling and disturbing

You've found the dark side for everyone.

Starting with Touya, with Yukito leaving him, was brave, and immediately set the tone.

Tomoyo... pinatas! A little humor before you send readers back under.

As far as re-ordering -- if anything, Chiharu and Yamazaki should both come in earlier. Maybe after Sakura, her friends. I think Yuki last, because of the implication of death or fading away. Also (if you can stand it), what about Fujitaka (a different take from Eriol) and Sonomi (to parallel Tomoyo)?

Cygna, I venture to say that this is BRILLIANT.

Very impressive. Very impressive.

Sorry I thought it bore repeating. I started this twice. The first time, I got halfway through the first one and was all... eh. Then I came back and I'm now leaving saying,

Very impressive.

Kero's was my favorite. I'm not sure why, but it was. Though Tomoyo's and Ruby's are a very close 2nd and third.

Fantastic job.
