Please update soon! Realizing this story is not complete yet was agonizing... I really hope Kenshin and the rest gets out of that hell hole... It's making me a little depressed...

I've read your fic years ago and I am re-reading it again. My friend is right this fic is not complete. Will you be updating it again? Your fic sounds very close to being finished.

Please update soon! :)

Hi Khrysalis,

I'm incredibly sad that you stopped writing this. I so wanted to see Kenshin find his way home, to finally find happiness and peace. To see him left broken and bleeding under Aoshi is a depressing end to this story. Perhaps someday you'll come back to it, I hope so.

Thanks,

Noyoki

as much as i doubt that you may finish this, this was an amazing story that you have written so far, so a very well done to you, and if at any point in the future you realise you have the entire rest of the story typed out already, waiting to be posted, well...!

I have not reviewed a fanfic on in three years. I had not seen a fanfic *worth* reviewing in those three years. Today, I break my silence merely to say "thanks." Even though this fic is unfinished (and probably always will be after what I see is a two-year hiatus), it is a solid one. There are some typographical errors, some moments of melodrama, and some instances of indistinct pronouns; however, they are few and far between. The plot and character development more than make up for the momentary mistakes. The treatment of Hiko, Misao, and Aoshi were all exemplary. All too often, I see stories where Misao secretly cries, or Aoshi has some sort of inner-conflict with seeing Misao grow up, or even where Hiko fails to possess arrogance. Thank you for keeping your characters away from being too OOC.

I hope inspiration strikes you at some point so that you return to this fic. I mean, if Krista Perry can finish "Hearts of Ice," I suppose there is hope that this one will be finished as well.

As you can see, I lack an account on this website. That's because I'm not a writer in any sense of the word, but I've been reading fanfiction for years and there are few things I admire more than a good, well written story. That being said, I felt obligated here to do something I've done only a handful of times in the past. That is to beg shamelessly for an update on a story that all logical evidence seems to have been abandoned. I compeltely respect that you as the author have every right to stop writing whenever you want, whether due to lack of interest or lack of inspiration, but allow me to express how upset it makes me to see such a beautiful effort left unfinished. I can honestly, honestly say that this is by far the most original work of fiction I've ever read on this site. And the plot, style, and overall quality of it matches and exceeds that of many published novels I've read. I mean it. I mean every word. I know I'm not the first person to beg you to consider continuing this story, and I'm aware that praise from someone who doesn't have the skill to write stories of their own shouldn't be valued nearly as much as someone who's closer to matching you on a level of talent, but still I felt the need to at least attempt to persuade you a little here. But again I respect your place as the author. I'm just making a humble suggestion that I hope you'll consider at least for a moment. I'm sorry if it seem like I'm demanding something from you; that's not the intention at all. I'll continue to admire this story even if it is left unfinished as one of the best examples of ficiton writing I've ever come across.

oh my god you can't possibly stop here... I so hope you didn't abandon this fic, because if you did I would be devastated.. seriously! I found your story yesterday morning before I started working and I could read about 2 chapters... The whole time I was working I was like aaaaahhh I need to know what happens! I couldn't really concentrate on the kids(I'm an aupair) and I was so glad when I drove them to school! and this morning at 1am I finally finished it and then I look at the update date and I get another shock... well I have you on my author alert list now... really, your writing style is beautiful and I just love this story. if you don't plan to finish this fic, please let me know, you can't just leave me hanging here lol

meanwhile I'm going to read your other fics... hope to hear from you soon!
