very captivating

this is...odd,a bit diffrent,at least from the ones that i read...huh...but its really really good!!
^^

This really makes me think of the song, "Tangled Up Puppet" by Harry Chapin. Creepily enough, the song is about a father and daughter, but I think it fits these two really well. This was a little creepy itself.

This is the first Akito x Shigure fic that has really captured what I think is the essence of their twisted relationship. It's interesting, because Akito is basically the "villain" of Fruits Basket, yet really she can be a tragic character, and you've shown that here.

And your Shigure makes me shiver. Perfect. Now this is the manga Shigure I know.

oh wow...I love the use of language in this. dark, beautiful, like snow and winter and frost and blood...
excuse my ranting. It's and awesome fic.

Wow.

I've only gotten up to book 14 in Fruits Basket, but I read a few small spoilers about Akito and Shigure...wow.

What can I say? So incredibly abstract, but so real at the same time. So insightful, and at the same time, when you're reading it, it's like, "Of course! That's exactly what it is!" as if you already know what you're reading...except you didn't really know until illustrious you came along and put it down in words. Again, wow. You have my immediate, unrelenting respect.

Wow. That was ... strange. In the best way possible. The style is really what I call perfect and the story...
Absolutely fascinating. You see, I really don't know what to say.

Since I haven't had acess to the manga, I don't know much about their complex relantionship but for some opinions I've read and heard. But you know something? No other description would have been more accurate or intense than this one.

Very prettily done. The pace and story is rather confusing and sporadic at first, but it becomes more clear and streamlined towards the end.

Perfect, I love how you used the manga versions.

//She never feels guilty at all.//

I devoured that sentence.

GAHH!
Angst!!
Good angst!!
Very, very, very good angst!
XD You are my idool... *sobs* If only I could write such incredible~! :)
Nehh, anyway, great Fruit-Basket-sadistic-angst, which, btw, seems almost like it could be in the manga! XD

that was really interesting. =]

You totally nailed Akito/Shigure in all of its dysfunctional glory. I hope you do more one-shots with them. That pairing seriously needs some love.

M. Tasty words of Resmiranda to ease m daily craving.

Excellent. Like, like a story of tension and playing with fire that’s not quite fire. Yes? Hmm…maybe no…

I love the last line ->...and in the morning sun her smile flashes bright as a blade.

OMG, you wrote a fic based on a canon I actually know! For the first time... in a long time! YAY! This was lovely, tension-filled and atmospheric. And it featured my favorite character (Shigure). Thanks for giving me something to read this morning. xo
