You truly have a gift. After 3 years, I return to this oneshot and Sweet Nothings. It still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your writing. It truly is beautiful.

Read Sweet Nothings and this right afterwards... Of all the Samurai Champloo stories on this site, this (meaning this and Sweet Nothings) is probably the best one I've found. I always read FuuxMugen stories and they never satisfy me, are totally OOC, or just aren't written well. This was the first FuuxJin fic that I enjoyed. There's so much emotion, and it's so believable in your stories. I actually shed a few tears.

Well done. :)

This always makes me cry.

I was so excited seeing this. I just loved Sweet Nothings; read it multiple times. I'll probably end up going back to read it again soon now.
This was sweet, and it did give closure...
but oh, I'm crying! I knew it was going to end with Jin dieing, but still- that never stops the waterworks, right?
It doesn't help I've been listening to a mushy song while reading too.
Thank you for writing such a wonderful piece, and for Sweet Nothings too. It's my favorite Samurai Champloo story.
(I never reviewed-like the lurker I am- because I always say too much. Sorry. This made my day though. ^__^)

It seems I'm a few years removed since this masterpiece was unveiled. But I can say with no ego, sarcasm, or spite that this is without a doubt the greatest story (by any author [professional or otherwise], in any genre, in any medium) ever told. And despite all my masculine pride and bravado, I still shed a tear when it was all said and done. To your natural talent, your captivating storytelling, and the unbridled yet subdued passion which painted both a halcyon and heartbreaking work of art, I earnestly salute you.

i read both sweetnothings and this one and man, i never cried so much in my life and it takes alot to make my tear.. your good ^_^ loved it all

This was a brilliant follow up. Although I have to admit that I was just a tad disappointed that Himawari didn't marry Sotaru but then again, they did have a twelve year age difference (not that age stopped Kenshin and Kaoru, Aoshi and Misao, or Kyo and Yuuya). Still, I really enjoyed this. Keep up the great work!

Your stories are stunning, like, genuinely stunning.

It's hard to describe, but it's like that pins and needles feeling after your foot falls asleep or wakes up, but not in a painful way, more like a suddenly aware of every tissue way, except the tissues in this case are some sort of emotion-scape. Um, I'm not entirely eloquent. Really really excellent work. Go you.

*sniff*
I'm glad you posted that.
The end to Sweet Nothings was perfect, but this just...
I don't even know.
This was absolutely amazing. :)

This story and the one before it are amazingly written. There are so few stories that I read that move me so. I'm crying right now writing this. You have wonderful talent please don't let it go to waist.

It's beautiful. I cried a little bit at the end.

So very, very beautiful. I'm tearing up as I write this...

I can still recall reading "Sweet Nothings" so many years ago and that the moment I finished the last sentence, all I could do was just sit there in awe at the intensity of sorrow and tragedy you applied in that fanfic. It was one of the few that never left the back of my mind. And when I returned to , just imagine how pleased I was when I discovered there was a sequel! I just wanted to thank you for showing me the best of the JinFuu fandom and to beg for more (onegai-shimasu~). ^^

wow
you have got to be a great writer if you were able to invoke THAT much emotion in a story
seriously
im going to sound like a wuss
but i started to cry as i was reading the scene where jin really starts to lose himself to his grief
i normally dont shed tears
but this little story honestly was that moving
congrats
:'D
i was wondering though
would you mind writing a one shot for a mugen/fuu?
please?

Once again, very well-written and very heartbreaking. I hope you'll do more Samurai Champloo fanfics in the future :)
I just can't get enough of them.
