i love this story. i have no idea how many time's i've reread it, and still found myself enjoying it. it needs some work, especially some of the character reactions, but overall i really love this story idea. i'd like if you updated, but even if you don't please don't ever take this story down from , it's a pleasure to reminisce sometimes.

You know, every time I come back to this story I'm reminded how much I love it.

And inevitably frustrated when I can't read any further. ;)

PLEASE UPDATE SOON! It's been nearly over 2 years since your last one.
This is one of the best Ranma fanfics out there. I can't believe it took me this long to find it.

All the situations and the characters are very realistic...it's PERFECT. You deal with them in such a humane way...that is, everyone gets a little empathy from everyone else.

Please, please , please continue this. It would be a shame not to.

*looks up with powerful, loving puppy dog eyes* thankyou so much for writing this fic and please continue!!
I really love your POV on the 'inner workings' of our characters and adore how you're helping them slowly work it out ^^

(P.S: I won't lie, I'm hoping for some hints of RanmaxAkane in the future *face turns red with shame* but I'm happy with the tiny tidbits I foudn in a few chapters so no pressures or anything!)

(P.P.S: I love Tenjou! Poor Ryoga; Kasumi give the boy back to his poor dad!)

(P.P.P.S: I haven't seen much of Soun or Genma in the chapters..will they ever come back? Or stay gone? Just curious.)

Almost over TWO years. You have not updated this story in all that time. Man... and it is so interesting. At least is not as bad as Hearts of Ice... is that one finished yet? I don't care enough to look it up.

Anyway, I hope that some day you decide to finish this one. I would love to see if my idea that this would end up as a Ryoga/Kasumi pairing is correct.

Anyway, be well and healthy. Bye.

I think I may have already reviewed this fic, but if I have, then I'm going to again! I love your work! And I have been a big fan of it for several years now and I am currently rereading some of my favorites. I really appreciate your clean writing style and the humor you put into all of your stories. I really love this particular story, as it delves a little deeper into each character and matures them a good bit. I think Tenjou is adorable, and I really like how you have portrayed Ryoga after what he has gone through. I am always excited when I see there is an update for one of your stories, and as always, I am looking forwarf to them!

hey, this is a really incredible story. Not often the idea of RYOGA coming in with calm, reasonable advice for everyone being done. Interesting to see how everything is panning out, too. Really cool. Though, it IS disturbing to see Akane going to Konatsu for advice on how to be feminine (that's just MORE than a little messed up. Konatsu just weirds me out). Overall, a very cool story and I hope you get to update it again soon. It's really sweet!

great story so far. Hope you will continues somedays.

Catalyst was one of the first Ranma fan fiction pieces I'd read which made me want to go and threaten harm to the author unless it was continued...a good thing you're 8 or 9 time zones away. Now, I am thrilled no end to find that it has a new chapter, and that the quality has not slacked off one bit.

The scene leading up to the line "He'd looked devastated." was so simple and mundane, yet that end line just hit the bull's eye of the emotional impact Takahashi had built into her universe
(but rarely used explicitly, as her goal, of course, was to keep a zillion little things aloft like a Chinese juggling troupe, emphasizing the humor of any given situation, however nasty, for the entertainment of the readers - at least, in general); you have brought it out beautifully and economically.

It is a credit to your skill that you manage to overcome suspension of disbelief on two major fronts: first, that things in Chaos Central (Nerima) should remain so static for six whole years after changing constantly during the year or so of the canon time frame; and second, that Ryoga would be the _one_ to actually settle down and be part of the "normal" world. In the first chapter or two, it was maybe a bit of a strain, but by chapter seven, I hardly think of it. Clearly, the stresses of chaos are there, as the six-year equilibrium had to have been unstable, and reactions are now taking place at an accelerated rate. You have made Tenjou so adorable, I certainly hope that he maintains one of the properties of a chemical catalyst, and is not consumed or irretrievably altered in these accelerated reactions. (You hurt him too much, and your fans may hurt you, time zone differences notwithstanding).

Thank you for dragging out your notes and getting started on this again. I am very glad it is not dead yet.

Cool story. Definitely an interesting perspective. Keep up the good work.

Okay, so... I just spent the past hour or so reading this fic and occasionally crying because WOW, are you ever amazing at writing powerfully emotional scenes that really, really ring true to the characters. It's so hard to imagine any of them ever maturing, much less maturing believably, but you do it and you do it perfectly. I can SEE why and how they're growing up and changing and it's not at all fake. It's real, and strong and really, really... touching.

I'm very glad you're continuing this fic, and I'm incredibly eager to see where you're going with this. You put so much work into the little details and that just makes it so amazing to read. I love it! Please write more soon, I'm dying to see what happens next!

Great story, you really have a great grasp of the characters.

Stiel: Wow. We started reading this story on your site back when there was only three chapters. How the time does pass.

Dragonboy: And how lucky we were to notice the update (and the fact that you post to as well). We've really enjoyed the rest of your work, but this one in particular due to the huge amounts of excellent character development.

Stiel: We've waited this long for an update, we can wait patiently for the next one. Great work, Jaelle-san, and give our props to Orla-san, too.

Dragon-Stiel Inc.
Not legendary yet, but we're working on it.

My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when I saw this had been updated. This is one of the top three fics I thought abandoned that I really wanted to see continued. If my encouragement is worth anything, keep up the good work! This chapter is as good as the others.

you know I almost didn't read this fic? I usually stay away from fics that deal with Ranma and Co. as grown ups but I'm glad I read this one. I like how everyone is changing and "waking up"

I'm looking forward to reading future chapters ^_^

cheers
