The Mud-Blood Mistress 2008-01-08 ch 1,	abuseTeh hee, It's really good! Akito is my favourite character, although, I have no idea why, cause she's a little... Messed up... But, aren't we all? Lol, good writing!
Adi88 2007-06-04 ch 1,	abuse[Joy! Fairytales and Shinju in conjunction with Fruits Basket. This should help me recover nicely.] “Akito can’t remember very many of the stories Akira used to tell her, other than the story of God and the Juunishi banquet.” - Because one tends to assume on default that she remembers everything, but she wouldn’t, would she. And, actually… how many stories from him would have been about other things? I mean, from what little we have of him, he seems comparatively sane, but he was… ah, focused. As only a Sohma can be. Special love, special child. “Most of her fairytales are heard sitting on Shigure or Hatori’s laps, looking at the pictures or tracing the letters as they go.” - If you are going to persist in coming up with images like this, you have to Draw Them. Grr. “In the fairytales, the beautiful stepmother is evil and cruel, and the loving father is weak and dies. And the little girl is left all alone, except sometimes she has friends, like the animals who help her. And they talk to her and love her, and then maybe one day they’ll defeat the stepmother, just like father must have wanted for her.” - …Wow. I hadn’t realized how far the in-common things went, especially for anyone but Tohru. The animal thing in particular gets me, because sometimes I have to side with Mean Old Maid Lady and wonder why they can’t all just fall in line like they’re supposed to and HELP her, and not persist in having dreams and lives of their own. Which, in fairytales, has always been one of the things that bothers me - all the animals and friends and lovers who never think of anything but the Protagonist. Like the world revolves around her or him. Like… well. “It doesn’t work out very well that way, though. She misses Akira and wishes Ren would have gone away instead.” - Mm. Just the break to specifics. And the childish simplicity of it, no guilt, and ‘would have gone away.’ Love the phrasing. “Akito wonders, if she was a girl, if she would play house too. She would be the mommy, and Yuki would be the baby, and Shigure would be the daddy. Or maybe Hatori would be the daddy, and Shigure would be the puppy?” - …Oh gods. Pictures of these needed too, especially… oh. I don’t know. Especially both. Plus Hatori being the daddy reminds me of that thing Katia-chan wrote and makes me want to cry. “If she has to be mean when they play pretend, then she may as well be the evil magician locking the princess in a castle. But if they make-believe that game, Akito would rather be the princess anyway, except that she isn’t.” - As far as Yuki is concerned, give it a few years and the first part won’t be entirely inaccurate… A~an, poor Akito. Can’t be the princess… and, actually, I can’t imagine her playing the part very well. Anyone in her family’d be a bit leery of even pretending to hold her captive, I’d think. If she stops thinking it’s fun you’re in for smashed crockery… “It’s not quite house, because there is no mommy. Akito is the daddy, and Yuki is the baby. But the game doesn’t work very well, because she has a hard time remembering the things Akira did and Yuki doesn’t really know much about his father, either.” - Heh… there’s the real problem. Akito can’t be the mom, Yuki can’t be a parent and in charge, and when one gets right down to it Akito can’t be the father and stay in the same room while they play, because being the father means not being there. “Ren isn’t nice, and Yuki’s mother isn’t taking care of him, so mothering isn’t at all what she’s doing.” - Oh, the definitions of parenting a la Souma. “Like sometimes when Yuki has nightmares in the middle of the night. Experience tells him not to, but instinct has him crawl over to Akito’s futon anyway, drying his eyes with one little fist. And experience tells Akito to yell at him and go back to bed, but instinct makes her sigh and move over, wrapping her arms around him just like Akira would.” - Picture! Another picture. And… oh, so cute and sad. And of course the gender issues… Manly little thing to do is what she should do, but that’s like Ren. Motherly sort of thing to do, all sympathy [well, inasmuch as Akito does sympathy] is what her father would have done. No wonder she’s so confused, apart from… everything else… “Letting the little wet face snuggle against her chest isn’t mothering. It’s what Akira and Shigure and Hatori do. It’s what Akito does, because Akito’s a boy and not a girl and not at all Ren.” - Because of course… being a woman [girl, here] means being Ren. Not just weak or not-god or not-Head or whatever, there’s a positive [not as in good, as in an IS instead of an IS NOT] side there too, isn’t there. You do make with the psych so well. “Akito can’t wait until all of her Juunishi help her defeat her evil stepmother, just like father promised.” - Oh, but baby, he didn’t, he never said… and anyone try telling that to her… eff. If only she had three wishes… Grah. Fantastic. So very very good. wriggles You’re so good at… themes. And things. You know? Running with them.
lotus head 2007-05-29 ch 1,	abuseAnd, oh, little Akito is so charming in her cute messed-up little way. I love the things she believes, and how it's explained why she believes them.
kyoshigurelover 2007-05-29 ch 1,	abuseYou are such a fantastic writer. I love how you parralel Ren as an evil stepmother. Genius. I love your one-shots. :) Also, I wrote a Shigure fic a while back. That'd be great if you could review it!
LoveAkito 2007-05-27 ch 1, anon.	abusetht was such as good story i love how u showed akito confused because her mother is a cow i loved it ure a very talented writer keep it up!
Gnos fo Ytinrete 2007-05-27 ch 1,	abuseInteresting. You keep saying "she" and I keep thinking you mean Akito. Guess it means this "Ren" person. Maybe I'll find out who "Ren" is in the next manga. Ja ne. Liliana
Katia-chan 2007-05-26 ch 1, anon.	abuseDamn you...that's all I can say...curse you and your evil. It's been a while since I really went beyond tearing up, but...waah...so so adorable, and fluffy, and sad, and...waah. All the stuff with experience and instinct, and how Akito's ideas of mothering have been so twisted, it's so heartwrenching. "Akito can’t wait until all of her Juunishi help her defeat her evil stepmother, just like father promised." Knowing what happens later with Shigure and Ren just makes this all the more painful...makes the betrayal sink deeper. I want to hate you so so much, but I can't...because this is so wonderful. The images with Yuki and Akito fluff...I want to cuddle them both. I can picture them snuggling, and it makes me happy, and makes me want to bawl at the same time. I can't see the screne anymore...I'm going to go weep now. TTFN
