| Enjiru 2008-04-26 ch 16, | abuseThat was great! Just the right amount of fluff in certain spots to make it awesome! |
| Affinitive 2008-01-02 ch 16, | abuseAww, I really enjoyed the story yay for M/S! |
| Me 2007-10-31 ch 16, anon. | abuseVery sweet ^_^ I still maintain that you're a very mature writer- you write as though you've had so much experience in life, and moreover, actually pull it off. You're also getting really good at including lots of details without letting them overpower the story. |
| roosterboy 2007-10-03 ch 16, anon. | abuseThank you for this epilogue. I hope you will write a wonderful fic again. |
| Daughter of Chaos 2007-09-20 ch 16, | abuseOh dear, such a sweet story. I'm very sorry to say I hadn't started reading this earlier, however, I did have the honor of getting to read it from start to finish. I like this story in that you started out with a fresh idea and also tried to keep it to the Meiji RuroKen story line of ideas. It was no bother to me that the story was AU tot eh Jinchuu arc, after all you were good enough to forewarn us about that in the first chapter. This story may not have played well to manga, but a avid fan of the anime could easily sneak this right in – especially with conveniently placed references to Sayo and such. As I said, the story idea felt relatively fresh – always appreciated in the pool that is Rurouni Kenshin fan fiction. Also, you finished the bugger, something that is appreciated by we readers on I will agree, there was some OCC-ness to your characters at points, but the way you see your characters was carried all the way though the story. You didn't change your perceptions of their actions midway through the fic, making slight OCC not so much of an issue. I was particularly fond of the awkward-yet-touching moments described from Sano's perspective in this story. I.e., his giving the flowers to Megumi while at the quarantine center. I found that scene very touching. I was also fond of the awkward confrontation with young Sayo. As for critiques (as we authors always have room for improvement if someone is willing to offer ideas, ne?). I'm not a person for grammar and spelling things – not my business. I'm more into story line and plot devices. My critique for this story would really be a lack of detail in places. There were places where the story line very much – jumped – in a way I found a bit discordant. For example, we jump from the scenes in the sick village with the adorable little boy to a very sudden “several weeks later the world is in perfect order and they leave.” Perhaps its me, but I could have used some filler – a touching moment with the boy? A moment with Sayo apologizing to Sano for her abruptness? A thrill of seeing the villagers generally on the mend with the medication available? I don't know. I realize your focus was on the romance, but I was left with weird questions in places on account of this. What I can say is that I could really see your writing style mature and become far more fluid through the course of this story. The sensation at the beginning was of an author unsure of herself. As we approached the end though, even with your weariness of the story, I could see you taking far more confident steps in how you handled character interactions, dialog, and prose. Well done on the improvements! Also, the end of the story was quite sweet, I could just imagine the fan art for Sano cuddling his small family ;-) Thank you so much for sharing with us. |
| Nyako 2007-09-17 ch 16, | abuseWhat a pleasent surprise! I loved this fic so very, very much. Kind of sad it's over. Can't wait for you to write some more Sano/Megumi stories |
| Ishimaru Amon 2007-09-15 ch 16, | abuseGood epilogue, especially after such a long wait. |
| M.Kasshoku 2007-09-15 ch 16, | abuse*GASPS!!* You wrote more!! And it's so sweet! I can't say enough how much I love this pairing and you write Sano/Megumi very well. I was very happy to read another chapter of this story. Does anything come after an epilogue? Oh yeah- the Sequel! *hint, hint* Just kidding. :) Thanks again for writing more of this story. Take care! |
| asga 2007-09-14 ch 16, anon. | abuseKyaa very cute, and glad you made the epilouge ^^ |
| Crewel 2007-09-14 ch 16, | abuseYou did an excellent job. But next time, I want to read your new SxM fiction. Thank you very much. |
| Adelaide MacGregor 2007-08-13 ch 15, | abuseGreat job! |
| blaufeuer 2006-12-07 ch 1, | abuseah cute |
| Night Imp 2006-09-15 ch 15, | abuseYay, it lets me review this time!! lol Good story, liked the ending, very mature ^_^ |
| charmed-sword 2006-08-13 ch 15, | abuseI'm sad to see this story end, but this chapter was just so perfect, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! You have a wonderful style of writing, and the balance between sweetness and humour is like cotton candy on my tongue, seriously. That first part, with Megumi, Misao, and Kaoru was so sisterly and cute, I couldn't help giggling. Especially Misao's end comment. So typical! ^_^ And then Sano, nervous in his own way...and Sano and Megumi bickering as usual even if it is their wedding day, lol...I liked the description of the wedding ceremony, it was well paced and beautiful. Great conversations throughout, and so characteristic of the Kenshingumi. Kaoru really got Megumi! Hehehe, bet she was waiting to say that for ages! And as for Sano, aw...*glomps* He is such a sweetie, getting her a book of poems! And her comment was typical kitsune, lol. (The mention of Katsu and Tae getting together--genius! I never thought of that, but they really suit!) I love LOVE this story. I'd love to see a continuation of it, whether one shot or multi chapter...*big kitten eyes* lol. Thank you for writing such a wonderful story! |
| KitsuneLauz 2006-08-12 ch 15, | abuseLovely finish! I loved this fic. And I love your recommendation, L O V E is one of my favourite fics! With some spelling/grammar touch ups, this fic would definitely make it to my favourites too ;) "She better be. Right now that's the only satisfaction I'm deriving from this situation.": lol! I LOVE YOU SANO! :D The wedding scene was interesting, I didn't know that's how they did it in Japan, y'see. So it was good work! Spelling- "Foget... - "Forget... psuedoname - pseudonym occured - occurred OMG, the bit where Sano gave Meg the present was really sweet =) |
