Very good. It's sad that Itsuki can never tell Kyon how he feels because of Haruhi's own infatuation, but I suppose that's life (for them anyway).

I like it. Sorry I can't tell you specifically why, but I do =)

Excellent fic. Well-rounded, smoothly rising action, good believable character. I liked it. ^_^

ahh, poor itsuki doesnt get kyon...*sad face*

OMG. This was the angst-filled type of fic that I was thinking of when I first thought of the two of them as a pairing! Yes, yes~! Ohoho, Itsuki, how hard you have fallen onto the cold, wet ground that is your love!

Ah, there just aren't enough Itsuki x Kyon fics out there! This was darkly lovely ^^

Wow...simply...wow.

I really wish there was a more established fan base for this pairing...but I guess the fact that kyon/haruhi is basically a canon in the real anime/manga, I can't really hope for much.

I think you captured Itsuki well. He seems to be one of those types of people who are sugarly sweet on the outside but a little sinisstar on the inside. You write beautifully. Everything is very fluid and you switch from perspectives, flawlessly.

I hope you write more soon~ :3

Excellent, as usual.

One gripe, though. The internal dialogue towards the end is a little bit contrived as is, and I feel like it would work a little better if you broke it up a little. Itsuki's monologue builds strength and tension off of the fact that it's mixed with what's going on in the real world. The internal dialogue loses some of that, because it becomes too Itsuki-centric. You could probably punctuate it with little pieces of what's going on in the clubroom for more effect.

Just when we thought was on a mediocre streak, here comes Esbee and Audley riding on their horses and ready to save the battle all Lord of the Rings style.

If you thought it was an exagerration, I'm dead serious. It was hard to write a contructive review that someone else didn't wrte already for the stories that were written these past few days.

Along with the Apples and Oranges story, this had to be the most un-"Itsuki wants Kyon" story I've read so far. Which is good since we don't know all that much about Itsuki yet, making you stay true to character. Your use of metaphors and viewpoints should be respected by the creator of the suzumiya series himself.

Esbee, with your beta Audley, it will be the Apocalypse before you get an idea that can't be turned into a work of art and genius.

Wow, this was really good. I particularly liked the metaphor about the spider web.

Still good. Sorry again that it took me so long. And a big sorry to all the readers!! I beg your forgiveness for my laziness.
