I've never read / seen Yami no Matsuei (though I know the general idea), but this is *very* well done. Especially loving the second person singular, which many try but fewer succeed at. :D

Thank you! *g* The anime is very enjoyable, if you ever have the chance to see it.

Really nice Muraki POV - the second person POV fits his twisted mindset beautifully. You've made an unusual pairing work, because yes, Muraki views everything as a challenge.

Thank you! Muraki is a fascinating character, so much talent and genius twisted terribly wrong.

I LOVE you for this! I never can find enough of this pairing. Thank you!!!

Thank you, I would love to read more fic about both characters!

the stain of the black will always mar the purity of white.
Ooo. OOOO. OOOOOOOOOO!

*grins* Thanks!

Wow! This is terrific! And I could be mistaken, but I believe this is one of the prompts I gave! And I'm ever so glad I did, because, my gosh, did this just push all my buttons, and make me love Tatsumi and the twisted dynamics of Muraki's view of him (and his other two 'dolls') all that much more. What a fabulous take on this scenario! *hugs poor Tatsumi*

There's so much to love here, including "They did not expect you to target someone they considered unassailable, powerful, safe" as that is exactly right - no one would expect our resident penny-pinching, stoic, ShadowMaster to be targetted and made vulnerable. And "For you Tatsumi is ever-changing, subtle variations on the color grey." seems a perfect way to categorize Tatsumi ( ... )

Thank you, I appreciate your comments!

It would be fascinating to read about these two characters facing off more often - I suspect there is more vulnerablility and darkness in Tatsumi's inner nature than even he would care to admit - an Muraki just loves peeling away at other character's psyches.
