Hello. So, I’ve not reviewed before this because generally, I’m really bad at leaving reviews. But I’ve been following this story and hoping for an update for a long time now, so I decided to leave one. I know that perhaps one among hundreds will not make a difference, but here it goes.
I really cannot say how much in love I am with this story. Your characterization is perfectly exquisite, so wonderful that it makes me want to cry. Your plot is beautifully crafted, complex without being confusing, simple, but agonizingly painful as well. I feel with Ichigo and Kisuke, and their broken states are so…just entrancing, maybe? I do not know how to describe it, only that I am addicted to it. I’ve been an avid reader since I was very young, and I can say with confidence that you are one of the most singularly talented people that I’ve ever come across.
I picked up this story in January 2008, and I’ve read it so frequently since that I nearly have it memorized. So that is all I have to say. I hope this one among hundreds of reviews has made a difference, and I really hope that you update soon.

I really am at a loss for words to tell you how much I love this story. You have captured the characters very well, and put them into very believe situations. Your storyline is thoughtful and engaging, and it leaves the reader desperate to find out what happens next. And quite frankly, your sex scenes are nothing short of incredible. Great job on this story.

Go Yuzu!! :) Ok, first to apologize about not reviewing every chapter. I kept getting distracted by the story itself. And second, your an amazing writer. You effortlessly blend light moments in with dark, happiness within sadness. The way you've captured Ichigo and Urahara, keeping them true to their characters while still making them your own is utterly astounding. Your description abilities blow my mind completely, because your one of the few writers I've seen that is able to completely describe something, using few words.
Also, the story itself, and the emotional content has made me laugh, cry, and get huge, cheesy grins. :D Oh, and drool. Can't forget that. Honestly, your the type of writer I think everyone on here strives to be. Good work, and please, please don't stop!

OMG THIS STORY IS AWESOME! :D You should definitely continue this!

*checks when you last updated*

D: Over a year ago? D:

Well, I hope things get better in your life.

I know this story is definitely worth the wait. It is beautifully written. I come back every couple of weeks to check up on it and read it through a 7th or 8th time. I never get bored of it. It truly is a wonderfully-developed pairing and an amazing, super-engaging story.

Are you dead? You haven't updated in forced :( I am really enjoying this story and hope that you haven't given up on it or something. I like how darkly you have portrayed ichigo. Please update soon- it's been a year. Stupid isshin. Btw awesome lemons ;)

You know, in the history of the thousands (and I most seriously mean thousands) of fanfictions I have read I've only ever encountered two that have held my attention so greatly that I become so totally lost to everything else around me...this is one of them. You've completely sucked me into the story. All the emotions, all the action, all the drama. Things are written in such a realistic style that makes everything completely believable. This is truely an amazing story :)

It's been around 16 months since the last update, so I really shouldn't hope for too much. I completely understand that people have lives outside of FF - seeing as how I don't have one myself XD Still, I would love it if you were to continue. It would be a shame to let such a great story die. Though I'm not pushing or anything - it would be pretty hypocritical for me to complain seeing as how I personally haven't updated any of MY stories in over 2 years! I pray for any update whatsoever, even if it's just a simple message saying...anything really. You've made me fall in love with this story - all your stories in fact, I hope for any indication of your intention to continue.

o.O I am hoping and praying that everything works out. I know it's just a story and that the characters aren't real, but sometimes it's hard to stay detached...you know?

Man...
I love this story.
This may very well be the best story for this pairing on .
No joke.

<3
I can't wait for your next chapters!

I would like to add my voice to all the others hoping that even after so long this story gets completed. I really do like the story, it's hard to find great stories like this one.

This, as you are well aware, is a beautiful story. I agree with the person who said their only fault is the portrayal of Isshin. And, it's not really a fault because I can see him acting this way out of confusion/concern in order to protect Ichigo. Generally, I am an Ichigo/Renji fan, but this may be the start of an Ichigo/Urahara obsession. :-P
Absolutely beautifully written. You could be a professional! This was much better written and more entertaining than a lot of books that I've spent good money on.
I know it's been over a year, but add my voice to the chorus of hopefuls that you will find your muse/time to continue this tale.
Love.

Wonderful :D
Love your writing style it just pulled me in. My favourite part of the story is probably the part in this last chapter when Yuzu starts asking thinks (and then Ichigo leaning on Urahara's shoulder).
But all in all i love the whole story. The characters seem fitting and really alive witch is what is I think most impotent. The plot is also amazing. Well i just couldn stop reading until i ran out of chapters :3
I also noticed it was last updated more then a year ago but i secretly hope you might write more.
Me and my friend (who also loves the story) would love you for it :)

have fun

Wow... just wow... this has got to be the single most intense, smutty, and probably best thing I've read for this pairing. I love seeing how this all plays out, it's like a soap opera, only not NEARLY as cliche and annoying. I must admit, I'm very impressed with this. The only thing I could possible find fault with is probably the fact that I really like both Yourichi and Isshin so seeing them as antagonists are a little disheartening. However, with Isshin, it just seems to be how he would act, and Yourichi seems like she could be blinded when they walked in on Ichigo and Urahara, so I still love the story!
This probably makes very little coherent sense, but to sum it all up, you're doing a fabulous job so far, and I hope you continue it for the next chapters.

Your fan,
Kandechan

!WOW!

Omg! You know have 4 people following! :D
I love this!! The whole story...everything! You are really good at conveying emotion. I swear I wanted to do very mean things to Issin, lol. (I censored that sentence for you)

But really, smut with (good)plot is one of those very rarely seen things that sometimes you forget even exists, and then you read an amazing story like this and remember that it IS possible to find good writers in fanfiction. Please don't stop or give up on this!! It's too good to abandon!
Especially if you throw in a Ichigo/Urahara/Kon in there ;)
(my inner fangirl was made very happy by the comfort cuddles Kon received. <3)

And I just know that later chapters will end up breaking my heart (I get attached to characters easily), but please continue!! If you don't, I shall unleash a heard of ferrets to hide under your bed and watch you as you sleep. (Oh, the horrors!)But if you do, you shall receive many hugs. Many, many hugs. And perhaps a cookie. A very big cookie.
(what's a review without threats and bribes?)
Now that I am sure I have made you very concerned about an invasion of ferrets in your bed (or of my probable lack of sanity borne from reading one too many fanfics), I shall be off and awaiting the next chapter in excitement!
