I hate you ;_;

At first I wondered if it was like Fay and the one who died was Yuuy or something, but the twist at the end really got me... I'm so sad now. :(

But thank you for sharing it- I don't usually read or like AU but I both read and liked this one--very much.

I'm sorry;;; it is a rather heavy slap of drama at the end there;;;

I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the comment c:

I tend to see myself as someone who doesn't get upset too easily but ;v; damn... Sorry, I'm going to go all wibbly on you...

But really, upset/mourning Kurogane seems so hard to pull off and you wrote him so well, especially the little tear D': *sob* But as sad as it was and as weird as it was relating to the little things like scattering ashes, I did really enjoy it. There was something really nice, comforting and real about the atmosphere. It was lovely and I was really touched by how Fye and Tomoyo interacted with him. It seemed just right. Nothing was overdramatic or hugely angsty and emotional just simple, real and almost heartbreaking.

And hey, as sniffly as I'm getting, insensitive me must still be thriving because I can't help but read this - the victim inside crushed almost beyond recognition… - and wonder how he died ^^;; Do you know?

Now I'm off to see the new 'holic oad and watch more people die ;;

[yuui_nyanko]

My original thought was a car crash... Quick and devastating enough for Kurogane to be bothered enough to hallucinate Fai being there, not accepting it, not letting Fai go until he scattered the ashes... if that makes sense;;;; I don't really think about things much when I write, which is why my plans for multi-chaps often fall through, sadly.

Honestly, it was another way for Kurogane to escape that Fai was really gone.

I'm super glad you liked it, and thank you so much for the lovely comment ;w; it really means a lot to me.

[inafrozenworld]

It makes a lot of sense ^^ I think there can be a lot difficulty actually believing and reinforcing that a car crash happened. They take away people who it's hard to feel aren't still alive and well :( I can completely believe it'd be incredibly hard for Kurogane to accept Fye as gone and not somehow draw strength from him *thought that was beautiful ;;*

Being vague with details really worked here xD but I can see why that'd be hard when it comes to multi-chapters!

[yuui_nyanko]

I think it's difficult to come to terms with any death, especially for me. I'm the kind of person that ... sort of ignores bad things, which is definitely not a good habit, I don't recommend it;;;

Yeah xD I kinda see myself like... people that write multi-chaps are like movie writers, and I'm more of a sitcom writer xP the plot runs its course for one little fic and then everything reverts for the next one.

[mikkeneko]

That's so sad ;_; But very good. Re-reading it a second time made it all come together.

[yuui_nyanko]

Thank you ^__^ I tried to write it and give subtle hints that would only reveal their full weight at the end, such as saying "ghost of a touch", etc.

I'm happy you enjoyed it enough to read it again, and thank you for your comment! I really appreciate it ^__^

[taigrin]

You made me cry, happy?

Aw, poor Kurogane, I can't imagine how might be to lost the love of your life (and I don't even have one) :(

[yuui_nyanko]

I'm sorry for making you cry ;w;

I lost quite a few people close to me before Christmas, but I don't know what it's like to lose a love (thank goodness..) I just went on how it felt when my teacher died in a car accident and how devastated the people at my school were, which is probably why I didn't write Kurogane as being all overly emotional, seeing as I'm the kind of person to kind of... ignore bad things as if they didn't happen;;; if that makes sense.

Wow, sorry I rambled at you! haha!

[taigrin]

Sorry to hear about that :(

In situations like these I keep all to myself rather to show my emotions to other people too, that make me feel uncomfortable and I don't like it at all.

And don't worry about the rambling! :)

[yuui_nyanko]

Yeah, I don't recommend blocking things up at all;;;

I'm sorry I rambled at you up there, I didn't mean to emo it up xP

[alchemistpotion]

Wow. Tsubasa fandom has been producing some good stuff lately, which is quite a talent, as I'd thought it was dead. Yuui my dear, this was lovely.

Makes me want to revisit it.

I thought it was ... the other twin who had died at first. Which ever one Kurogane's not with. Confusing as ever, that. But the ending twist ... it was poignant. Nearly cried.

Thank you. Chu~

P.S. As a DW fan, I am curios, any thoughts on Eleven?

[yuui_nyanko]

I seem to be making a lot of people cry with this one;;; oops

I'm glad you liked reading it ^__^

PS Oh my god I am in love. Scripting could be better in the fluff scenes, but it was Davies who was best at that, and he's gone now... ah well. It was his time.

As for Matt Smith and Karen Gillan themselves... could they be hotter?! I mean, in Smith's case, his face is a bit small for his head, but oh sweet jesus he's so graceful and gwaah *humps*

Gillan ticks all the boxes too. I just wish she didn't have such retarded lines.

[alchemistpotion]

It's a compliment, love. I have to be moved by something to almost cry.

Oh yes, I am quiet, firmly in love with Matt Smith, and considering I went into it with a bit of a 'But ... he's not David Tennant, how can he be goos?!' attitude, I'm surprised. But I suppose, most of the billions of people on earth are NOT David Tennant, and they get along fine. Even if he shouls win ana award for being the most adorable person ever to say the word 'Bananas' Karen is a cute little thing as well.

Personally, I'll take the loss of fluffy scenes for what we've now got: Killer awesome plots of greatness! The star whale that was so sad and wonderful. Even if I kept having the 'Don't cry emo space whale' Torchwood icon pop into my head. And the prisoner zero thing was creepy.

Not even the best Moffat's capable of, either! I'd say Blink is that, or The Girl in the Fireplace. Suffice it to say he's my favorite writer on the show, and I am so glad he's producer now.

And in that whole thing, I did not once bash RTD.

[yuui_nyanko]

I'm not saying RTD was bad, and I'm not saying Moffat is better, I'm saying they are both spectacular at different things. RTD had heart-wrenching emotional scenes and Moffat has spectacular plotlines and thrillers. I am absolutely loving the current one, for example. I love the Weeping Angels.
