 laloner 2008-11-23 . chapter 15WOW! It's been a LONG while. The chapter was amazing as always but, you know what this story reminds me of. It reminds me of this manga/anime/jap drama called Hana Yori Dang (Boys over Flowers). This is actually a lot like it but it's original aswell. I really love your story and the chapter as I said is AMAZING.PLEASE Update ASAP! |
 Sere Star 2008-08-25 . chapter 15 Wow...I haven't read this story in forever! And I love how this story is going! Please write more soon! There hasn't been well written stories in a while! Please...I want to know more about Usagi and Hiiro! |
 silverarrow112 2008-08-08 . chapter 15 This is the most detailed, well written piece of fanfiction I believe I've ever read. Well In the Gundam Wing/Sailor Moon universe, your gaining a good reputation and I would read anything else you write in a heart beat! You haven't updated in a month or so but I eagerly await chapter 16. Is Quatre getting into the mix with Hiiro, and Duo. Or will he slightly influence Usagi like Trowa? I only wonder how Wufei would charm our favorite characters. Now lets sit and wait and hope he doesnt rip Usagis paper heart. |
 SpecificallyTrud 2008-07-29 . chapter 1 :( You make me sad. Why won't you update? |
 BunnyLove87 2008-07-20 . chapter 1OMG I'm so happy i found this story again!! I started reading it when you first put it out And I love it SO MUCH! i'm so happy you updated!! keep it up! |
 Beguiled 2008-07-11 . chapter 15 So, just to let you know I've been reading this story for a long time and it is certainly one of the few that actually grabs a reader as though it was a sophisticated novel and not a fanfic. And although the chapter was fine and well welcomed return, there are things that I felt were not up to par with the first 14 chapters done so well. Firstly, Trowa seems very different than he has been presented in the previous 14 chapters. Before he was a typical Trowa character, quiet, wise, contemplating but with that detailed edge that makes your story so good. In This chapter though Trowa seemed to transform into Rei's talkative gay friend. We all know that Trowa has a crush on Rei, but with the way he tells her not to eat so many bon bons, scrutinizes bon bons himself as though he would hate to gain a pound, and just the general old british novel inspired banter he offered, it would make more sense if Trowa was crushing on Hiiro or Duo. He's just talking so much more in this chapter than seemed conceivable to his character before. Do you see what I mean? Also, Usagi's speech is a little different also. At first she came off as a normal, everyday American girl with not the largest lexicon in the story. Now, she's really speaking like high society: "Pardon", "I would beg to differ", "They are both quite prolific." "Charming, I'm sure." Her speech is virtually indistinguishable from Rei's, if not with a slight bitter twinge. But Those turns of phrase don't seem very realistic coming from a girl like Usagi, certainly not as the text presented her. However, this could just be her influence from Rei. But then the great thing about Usagi is that she is firmly, stubbornly herself. And overall this chapter is like a dream, and not in a good way. Dolphins, dinners in the moonlight, metors, angels, Usagi's sudden vocal talent. It's like a dream Usagi's had. It was very romantic, but nothing about it was very grounded in reality. I don't say any of this to discourage, in fact I'd be devastated if you didn't continue. In Imagery and romance, not to mention the fascinating new character entry, Quatre, it was as above average of anything you've written. I just want you to keep writing the same story, that's all. |
 …don't even know what to call 2008-07-10 . chapter 15 i love you.
i just about gave up on this fandom, but out of habit check it from time to time. i was shocked that my favorite fic ever was updated! and i loved every bit of it.
quatre is evil in a passive aggressive way, and i simply adore it. it was something that i was not expecting in a good way.
for some reason, i think that trowa maybe hates hiiro? there has to be something that i haven't noticed yet ro hasn't come up concerning WHY he hates the idea of hiiro and usagi together... he has already made it clear that he has no opinion himself about usagi, so it has to hiiro. |
 frosty 2008-07-01 . chapter 15 Hey! I'm glad you're back! Loved the chapter and loving how the story is progressing. Keep writing! |
 Sideways Reindeer 2008-06-29 . chapter 15 Your use of adjectives is amazing; coupled with your developed vocabulary and variegated sentence structure, the work produced is nothing short of awe-inspiring. And fifteen pages in Times New Roman font size 10 none-the-less! You are definitely one of my favor writers for these reasons (more for the former than the latter, but hey, I ‘m not going to complain or do anything to discourage you from writing fifteen pages in Times New Roman font size 10)!
It is the little details which really set your works an echelon above the majority. For example, your choice use of rococo (which, I am assuming you’re referring to the French movement preceding the enlightenment, but just after the Baroque in art history) succinctly and descriptively delineate the hyper-ornate level of decoration on the chairs occupied by Rei and Trowa.
Please excuse the sporadic nature of each of this “chibi” paragraphs-I am on summer break and have no initiative to integrate transitions and additional sentences for coherence. So, if you perceive this composition is to be (perhaps) overly disjoint, please chalk it up to laziness. Should the quiddity of this review be too erratic, please feel free to discontinue all further efforts to follow this review, knowing that you are a fantastic writer well-worth emulating.
Perhaps I am a bit (or more so than just a bit) dense-I never pictured either Hiiro or Duo speaking with a British accent during the majority of the chapters (or even being for the U.K. for that matter); for afore-indicated reason, I was initially surprised when Hiiro spoke with an unintentional, mild British accent (…you know which part I am referring to-when he is practicing his suave pick-up lines*, achieving lamentably little success in this venture, in front of a mirror). Maybe I just missed something in one of the aforesaid previous chapters. Have they always had the accent?
[Disappears to peruse the preceding 14 chapters-returns sometime later]. I didn’t find any indication that either Hiiro or Duo’s “parents” were from the U.K., save for in this chapter. I certainly hope that this is a new development and that I have not been clueless all along, but like I said earlier, maybe I am just dense and can’t find the literary clues in the fourteen prior chapters. (^^;;)
My most pressing question is (this is pertinent to chapter fourteen as well), does Hiiro actually feel any affection for Usagi or is he interested simply because he can’t figure her out? Other than vanity and surpassing Duo by any means necessary, I am unsure as to what motivates this Hiiro Yui-he is very complex. (^^;;) The implicit evidence (three specific instances: when he realizes that he is inadvertently changing himself for a girl; when Hiiro violently delineates to Usagi the described, magical evening was planned with her in mind; and, when he offers to find her a change of clothes) suggests that he may genuinely garner something akin to fondness; however, regardless of what he emotionally experiences evanescently, (above all) his pride --provoking extremely violence displays from him—in addition to other hindrances seem to belie any affection at all. One could liken in to (less physical) domestic abuse, which is a power-struggle, not a result of endearing sentiments; thus, as Hiiro tries to command power over Usagi, with little success (which is why I initially asked if he merely doesn’t know what makes Usagi tick and is interested, rather than unadulterated affection), he seems more eager to control her, to own her in her lack of submission to his whims-all in all, that doesn’t add up to genuine affection. So, I ask again, does Hiiro actually feel any affection for Usagi or is he interested simply because he can’t figure her out?
Okay, I would have totally killed that chauffer if I was Usagi. His exorbitantly rude comments coupled with his complete all most palatable disdain for her very presence makes him a great deal more like Trowa than he would probably care to admit (thus worthy of at least throttling). Even if she was engaged in sexual relations with either one of the Yui brothers, it is none of that nosy chauffer’s business.
Quatre is über creepy! “ ‘You need to watch your step. I can say with certainty that I don’t have happy manners. But aren’t we all contradictions? You ask anything of me and I’d be willing to exert my fullest efforts. Does that make me an angel?’ ”…this sounds like something a stalker, rapist or pedophile would say. While it was very nice of Quatre to give her a warning, the warning itself is subterfuge-ly sinister and superlatively eerie. I wouldn’t be surprised (since all the affluent persons in this story have varying degrees of distain for one another, except for everyone’s uncanny fondness for Rei), if Quatre’s dislike of Hiiro was enough to motivate him to usurp Usagi. I hope you intended for Quatre to be this disturbing, because you certainly succeeded in creating a crazy, creepy Quatre. [Yeah alliteration!]
By the way, when is Wufei going to appear, if he even makes an appearance at all that is? I certainly hope Wufei is a little more normal, as well as significantly less egocentric, psychotic, and abounding with ennui than the other Gundam pilots in your story; however, to be fair, this is your opus, and as such, you are free to compose as you see fit.
All-righty, I have discussed everything I can think of at this very moment. I hope this review is sufficiently long enough to meet your standards, which I mean completely un-sarcastically. Albeit, I discovered you in 2004-ish and sporadic checked on you every couple of months or so, this is my first review, so please be gentle.
Bottom line: you are a magnificent writer, so please keep writing-the more, the better, as you always right to a high standard, making any reading of these exceedingly enjoyable. Thanks!

* I wouldn’t exactly call them pick-up lines, but for a lack of a better way to describe what he’s doing (as this Hiiro Yui is above complementing-clearly, he should be receiving the complements, not giving them [reviewer rolls eyes]. |
