somehow, i feel sad that they did not end up together..but i kind of understand why..i can relate to it really..you just have to let go of things not meant for you..and embrace reality.

Beautiful, melancholy, vibrant, eloquent.
Bravo!

This was so poignant, so emotional, so beautiful. I don't ship Mine/Nodame, never even THOUGHT of it, actually... but you made me believe. You write wonderfully!

"They were distracted by each other: the glancing brush of his sleeve against hers. His leg budging hers out of the way to reach the damper. A moment looking up from the music to muse over his profile. A caught breath where there was no breath in the music. She’d been staring at him for months. That was the first time she felt like he was staring back."

This paragraph was LOVE.

What a twisty, twisty fic. That's the best way I can describe it. Oh, it was good! It was well-written, yes. I just wasn't expecting Mine to be married to Nodame. And have 2 kids! I guess that was what you were going for, but hey.

"They were distracted by each other..." -- I love that paragraph. Loveloveloeveolveolve. It really captures that moment of...of, hesitancy? Even if I wasn't a total NodameChiaki/fluff fan, I would like it. :D

That was lyrical and beautiful. I went looking for good Nodame fic and I wasn't at all disappointed.

Excellent work!

Wow. Very nice. Although I'm not much of MinexNodame shipper, I somehow get the impression that maybe they'd be more suited for each other than, for example, NodamexChiaki. But it doesn't change the fact that I LOVE NxC. I especially love this little scene in your fic - it's just perfect! Please, write more in this fashion :)

T_T Not only for Nodame, I hope it goes better for you too!
