That...was beautiful. You captured Jyou's essence so wonderfully! I just don't know what else to say, aside from the fact that I have to add this to my favorites list. In the beginning, the story seems like it's going to be very depressing, but by the end the narrative has turned uplifting and hopeful. _ I'm so glad I recognized your name and decided to read! Now I'm going to wander off and read more...

.. I don't get it... starsnake i don't understand explain it to me please? well ok I r good confused now

Looky! I signed in. _ I absolutely loved this, and for more than just your usual wonderful writing and character exploration. I've always thought that if Jyou continued on the path to becoming a med-student, he'd end up defenestrating himself, and it would be from a very high building. The father-son dynamics were so realistic I had flashbacks to father-oldest-child issues. I also loved the part Yamato played in cutting the paternal version of the umbilical cord. _

That was really great! Just perfect, the POV seemed SO Joe. And I just love friendship fics! You're a really talented writer, everything just seemed so realistic (and logical) and I love the idea of a Matt/Joe friendship. There aren't many of them out there. Good work!

Goooo Jyou and Yama-san! _ This was great; there are so few friendship fics out there, especially of these two.

Well indeed it was a pretty good story.Yama is a really good friend and it's good that Jyou will have to tell his father what he really wants to be.Keep it up.

Awwwwww... starsnake... *glomp*

Gyah! Love it! I love the way you wrote Jyou, and the way you wrote his situation with his father. (I miss home too! *snags Jyou and snuggles him*) I loved his glow-in-the-dark constellations and I loved the way you wrote Yama. *sighs happily* What a great story!

As I've said many times before, I think you really have a way with the characters, they way they would act in different circumstances and their interaction with one another. In short, I absolutely LOVED it, but then again, I love your stuff in general! Keep it up! I'm sure shimmercat-san will LOVE it!
