Oh, I really, really enjoyed this. I always enjoy Doumeki musings, but this was better than most. Well-written, and it really made me feel.

[vinval]

Thank you! ^_^

Doumeki was hard for me to nail at first, but now that I have in my brain, he won't go away!

[sparklyfanta]

Oh, that was so neat! I love how you write Doumeki, and his quiet sense of purpose, and the way he views things. You nail his character each and every time. :) Thank you!

I haven't had a chance to get xxxHolic 11 yet, but now I want to go pick it up from a bookstore....

It it a wonderful volume. I adskkgjh'ed so many times.

I'm glad you liked it! ^_^

[stillskies]

This is very good. I liked it a lot.

If you don't mind, I have a few concrit notes?

This moment is so rare - you never confide in me - that the seriousness if it makes my stomach clench in knots.

I think 'if' should be 'of'?

And he calls Himawari 'Kunogi'. ^_^

Other than that, this was a very good read. It's all too rare to see good Doumeki POV fic.

[vinval]

Fixed on both accounts - thank you!

Thanks for the compliment. It's all the better coming from you!

[stillskies]

No problem. ^_^

Good fic is good, and therefore deserves love. So. LOVE! ♥

My local comic store has a long wait for 11. Not that I can afford it anyway, but it's the principle of the thing. Irked Iambic is irked.

But this was incredible. It's been a while since I'd read your Doumeki-POVs, and I had forgotten how wonderfully characterised they are. Amazing, amazing job. I love how you have him still angry about the eye incident; forgiving perhaps, but not forgetting.

This is why Amazon.com was created. Not only did it ship the day it was released, but I came home and it was magically on my kitchen table. (I'm surprised my husband didn't try to hide it.)

It's been a while since I've written a Doumeki-POV! I'm glad you like them. ^_^ Seriously, I'm not sure if he'd ever get over the eye incident; that's some heavy-duty drama right there.

[iambickilometer]

Amazon.com is amazing. I am seriously impressed.

It has, sadly enough. I've missed them. And you're right about that.

'Now I, my dear girls, am not a man who can afford to wait. First of all, my qualities are not of the kind which demand the recognition of posterity.

[renki_chan]

OHHHH I love this *___* That is one of my favourite scenes... so sweet

Thank you for writing it, i really like your's Doumeki's mental-speech ^_^

[vinval]

thanks!
