Ragh that was good! I miss you guys, you entertained me in high school and still do, now that I reread your stuff!

I love this fic. I wanted to tell you again. I love this fic.

I thought I was he only OtaruXHanagata fan out there and I'm glad to find I was wrong. Thanks so much for writing this, Xel!

I just love this! It's written so well, and I've got to appreciate any story that leaves me with that warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Plus, I absolutely LOVE Hanagata. :)

I've always felt that Hanagata is really underappreciated by most SMJ fans. This series gets bonus points with me for treating him with some respect. It's really appreciated. I'm not sure how I feel about Otaru being interested in him... it's not something I can see happening very quickly, and I'm glad you chose not to make this a lemon; I don't think it would have really made sense. Still, this was lovely, and I enjoyed it immensely.

Surpassed my expectations of what a third installment would be like! I love that warm, fuzzy feeling I get when I read this series of fics. And I'm also kind of happy this isn't a lemon. That would have been going too far, too fast. Parameters had just the right amount of squickiness in it to both satisfy my need for some sexual activity between Otaru and Hana, and to not overstep the boundaries of the pacing in the saga's plot. Good job!

Oh my God. That was so...WAI! Waiwaiwaiwaiwai @_@ Ok, I've gotten that out of my system, I think, no, wait...WAI! Umm, wai! I thought i was the only person insane enought to write a Hanagata/Otaru 'fic (not posted yet)! I love Hanagata, he's so kawaiii...oh, well written, and please, Oh GOD please write more *_*

You go girl! _ This fic is great; perfect way to get Otaru and Hana together (although, they didn't really GET together... poor Hana chan). Sounds like it's gotta sequel in the future? It better! I luv this, great worky! ::huggle::

-Saka chan

this was a good read partially for two reasons. reason number one, the characters' mannerisms and dialogues fit perfectly with the characters. especially the scene with hanagata and the popcorn bowl. the image was clear in my head, and a lot of otaru's insecurities, the way he is in denial, and shy a lot. the only part i had trouble with, was how easily otaru went along with mitsurugi's idea of well, getting it on right there and then. maybe if he thought the girls were in trouble... or if he was feeling insecure, but i was once again convinced by the time he backed out. it had me thoroughly engrossed and believing the scene, the imagery was WONDERFUL, may i say. it is a good story. keep it up! i wanna see more XD

YAY! I'm so glad you decided to write another one! Love the imagery in this one...'ginger glow of dusk' is especially nice. I like that they're takin' it slow. Mucho sexy!

awwwww, poor Hanagata! ;_; so close! *snaps fingers* That was a great fic! :D :D :D I wanna read more! *bounces around like Lime on pixie sticks - oh my god I just scared myself* O_o Oh, and that whole 'she/he can't see you when you nod' thing was hilarious! LOL!

*fans self* Woo. That was good. Very good. I think it would be a crime NOT to continue this because I have never seen any other SMJ yaoi, and you write it so well.

Hello, gentle readers. This is the author speaking. Due to a recent review of this fic, I am addressing you all in a humble request that if you choose to review at all, make your criticism CONSTRUCTIVE. Yes, you too, can enjoy the wonders of constructive criticism! I will also ask that you all heed my warnings. This story is YAOI. If yaoi's not your bag, just don't read it. It's as simple as that. I don't need to be told how "outrageous" you find it, or things like "Otaru is not gay!". I would also ask that people kindly read the fics prior to this one. Who in their right mind overlooks the two preceding PG-13 fanfics and goes straight to a strongly yaoi, R-rated fic, then has the audacity to flame me about it? If certain people had obliged, it would have saved me a ton of typing. I'm sorry if I come across as nasty, people, but if there's one thing that I don't respond well to at all, it's flames/sloppy criticism. Thank you for listening. *sighs and walks off irritably*

What? I'm just a little outraged! what the hell, otaru and hanagata... kissing and about to make love. I would understand Hana. But Otaru ain't gay. He's suppose to be with Lime. Your imagination is running a little to wild now. All I know is, otaru and Hanagata are not good at all together.

Yeesh. Eww.
