Soooo, I didn't even read through the entire fic 'cause I'm lacking but I loved it all the same! I know the gist of it, and I was really annoyed at Taichi (even though I love Taito) but it was still so emotional and true and awesome. Though I wish Taichi wasn't straight here. I've always seen him as bi sexual/gay, and not just in fics.
Yeah I know I'm reviewing damn late, but I thought I'd just post this anyway. I usually don't search for much else other than Taito (again, lack of time and interest) but this fic caught my attention. Hell, I don't even know how I got here, prob. by some fav stories section but I'm glad I did.
So, thank you for writing such a touching and compelling story.
Hey, just wanted to say I really enjoyed this story. It's very well written, has a good plot and characters, and was overall just very enjoyable.
Usually I read stories that focus on Daisuke, I especially like the abuse stories (does that make me a terrible person?), and decided to give this one a chance and I'm glad I did. I also don't usually read stories with same sex relationships, not because I have a problem with them but usually the characters are just too out of character. You did a really great job of writing these characters so it wasn't so unbelievable that either one of them could be gay.
I too am a fan of thinking Daisuke has more to him than a big mouth and a head of hot air. Thank you for writing him that way. I also appreciated that he, above anyone else, saw through Yamato's mask and helped him.
Thank you for writing this story and I hope the friend you based it off of is doing well.
So, I'm not sure if I've ever reviewed this fic before, but I figured that since this is probably my third time reading through this that I should anyway.
Because I don't reread things. Ever.
The fact that I've read this three times and still enjoy it is pretty amazing. The fact that it still made me laugh out loud and bring tears to my eyes and make my heart clench with worry says that you have a pretty amazing gift with words.
I'm reviewing now, and I don't really review all that often to things and even though this fic is quite old, to say thank you. Thank you for writing this amazing fic. I also want to say that I hope you never stop writing. The world would lose a lot for the lack of your work.
okay, i know i reviewed this a few months ago after reading it the first time, but i have to again.
this is amazing! i love it so much. the angst and the tension and everything else in it are just amazing! i just reread this in one sitting, and will be going to bed very soon now, but you have to know that this is wonderful. it's touching and sweet and depressing and heartfelt and heartwrenching and amazing!
OMG! You have no idea how much i love this fic. I have read this story so many times, I dont think i have ever reread a story soo many times and i never get bored. this was my first fic on fanfiction :D:D You are an amazing writer. THANK YOU SO MUCH for writing this story :D:D
this was so cute! i just read this in one sitting. it took about...three and a half hours? i guess. it was about four when i started.
anyway! that doesn't matter! this. was. so. cute! and angsty and depressing and AMAZING! i loved it so much! i was bored and just typed in some random words in the search box, and this beauty popped up and made my day...er, night!
this was terrifically written and wonderfully heartfelt. i didn't notice any errors, which is rare. i may have just forgotten by now or been so absorbed that i didn't see them (this has happened before). i loved this story, it was so great! i love matt, and daisuke with matt is just precious! i don't think i've ever though of it before!
i'm usually a big taito shipper, and i like kesuke or takesuke a lot. but i loved this! (you can tell i'm excited because of all the exclamation points...) i couldn't stop reading, and i'm so glad tai dumped sora. i hate taixsora. it makes me angry.
glarg. and i hate matt's dad! which is obviously the response wanted from this, but whatEVER. i don't usually picture him as that type, because he's actually in the series a bit and we get to know him a little. but i digress...
great fic, i love it, i've faved it, and i will now check out your profile because this was amazing!
Wow, not sure about the email thing, but I'll review
All I can say is that was amazing, usually I wouldn't review something that's been done for so long, But I've put a few quotes in my "quotes I can't help but keep pile" so I felt a bit obligated.
As I wrote before, this was a amzing, the angst was saddening, the relationship beautiful (love that Dai seems to be taking charge) and the funny parts extrodinary. The father is an ass, and Takeru is kick-ass, can't see him holding a knife to anyones throat, he was right about that.
Omg, just this one fic made me feel so many different emotions, in just 15 chapters, that I think I am permanently going to be emotionally scarred by it! Omg, I was so angry at Tai and at the rest of the gang because I can't believe they couldn't SEE! And i was so sad and scared for matt! and I was so happy when they finally got together! AND OMG! DAITO MEANT TO BE! I can't believe all these year I was stuck on the Taito bandwagon when Daito was so OBVIOUS! I love you for changing my otp and making me see the light! I'm faving this story, btw.
You, as an author, are absolutely fantastic. This story is like eating cranberries with caramel -sublime. Like Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G-minor - divine.The clever allusions, nicknames, wit (!), round characters and what especially touched me:honesty. Daisuke's honesty and straightforwardness was an experience I haven't come across before. And the emotion, ah, I could go on forever... No fic has produced this amount of laughter, tears, excitement, enjoyment, hair-pulling and warmth.
[The only thing one could possibly point fingers at is the end which, to me, wasn't quite as powerful as I expected (and some other minor minor minor mistakes).]
In any case, I must say that with this fic, you have reached something; that I know because I can't possibly praise this fic enough, nor are there words to express my (or anyone else's, for that matter) feelings. "The most profound things are inexpressible." Hence, I feebly try to pour the ocean of my gratitude into the tea cup of this review and serve it to you with gold and diamonds.
