Insightful and thought-provoking. Very well done.

This one was also fabulous! I'm such a dummy, I didn't even see that the one I read first was a part deux, you know?
Mais non, it was fantastico.
You have a really good knack for...I don't know,-words. How's that for a compliment? constructive and intelligent. You can really string'em together nicely, though.
Appreciated
Tres bon ecrive!

I love this. Simple, yet so disturbingly sad.

This is one of the few stories I've come across to put them in this perspective. I love that it's not a triangle, but that all three are left wanting each other. It's very cohesive, to-the-point and resonating.

Very poignant and I love it. And thank you for writing this!

I really really really really Like this outlook. The ending is funny with that small twist,and its true with the udnerstanding between Fuu and Mugen,so thats another bonus for you. Its realstic. But..did I mention that i really liked this??

Interesting perspective on the group's dynamics.

Lovely, spare and succinct. You've nailed all three of them in such a perfect way. Their eternal triangular dance is wonderful to behold on the screen; here you've given us the why and wherefore of it, as well as the emotions driving them. Great work.

"So it's inevitable, really, how much they both long for him. How they both find themselves parched and craving, desert creatures dreaming of rainfall... Look at me, Jin. Talk to me, in that cool voice. Let me drink."
--This is so exquisite that it leaves me in awe. Not only that, it's a representative sample of the simply beautiful prose of this whole story. I wish to Goddess I'd written this myself, and I don't say that often. Excellent character study, great understanding of the delicately balanced and ever-shifting inter-trio dynamics at work (and play) here, just wonderful. Thank you so much.

Seriously though, it all makes so much sense. And poor Jin, all he ever wanted was a hug. How tragic.

Wow, that's an interesting take on their group dynamic! I'd actually never thought of it that way, but in a way it makes perfect sense. I especially liked your line "Because if you canmock someone out loud, then the longing can't possibly be strong enough to hurt you." Good work!

Awe. This was so clever! It was an eloquent piece that did well to illustrate their differences and similarities. I LOVED the end.

Oh, I really like this.

Never thought about that. V. nice. I don't really understand Jin either. Like why he keeps his hair up, when it's so pretty? Okay, nevermind, I do get it.

~wipes at tears~ Wow, that was so neat!

Wow I love this ficcy its good, i love it...strange
