Wah! I wanted Ichigo to come back so much I didn't even realize that this was the last chapter... dang.

the entire Amaranthine series is genius. you had the right amount of drama, action, romance, angst, everything is wonderful. without a doubt, my favorite renji x ichigo fanfics. you are a genius and i will be looking for more of your fics on LJ.

hi its me again. well i drew the picture i'm just try to figure out how to color it. i'm kinda new at illustrator so...and paint would be tacky. so i'll get that picture to you soon. dont think i forgot.

your fan joy

OMG ur a hard author to find...-_- thank god i remembered what ur last two stories were called. i love your fanfictions. i wish i had ur dedication but i'm a lazy ass ^_^ someday i want to share my fanfics with you or give u ideas. i'm a fag hag XD -_-;; anyways keep up the good work.

Wonderful, beautiful story! I loved it so much. It took me two days to get through it, but it was more than worth it! I cried when Renji reached out in his sleep to wrap his arm around Ichigo to find he wasn't there and I cried in joy as he caught Ichigo when he finally made it back home. I need to go back and favorite all three stories. Awesome, awesome job!

Wow, this is probably the first renji/ichigo fanficd that I've ever really liked. in fact, it was amazing! seriously, I read all three of these in one afternoon. and yes, i did listen to metallica when i read it mostly because you said you did and it adds to the story, I think. either way, these three stories were wonderful, obviously since I read all three of them in one sitting!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED! loved, loved, loved, Nexus, Apothesis, and Covenant. I usually aint into reading anything other than Ichi/Ruki but your stories left me wanting more Ichi/Ren. I do hope you do another multi chapter story with those two and I shall be checking your live journal :)

Ha! Man, if Ichigo does make it out... I can't wait to see how you've written everyone's reaction. Imagine that, eh? He's gonna get out of there all on his own...! :D

Whoa! You threw in a sex scene back there! lol! I really like this story, but I wonder about something. I wonder if the roles were reversed- if Renji was lost in HM and Ichigo was the one to return- would Ichigo be acting just like Renji in the situation, and would Renji be acting just like Ichigo? Yes, of course there would be the minor differences with they're inner voices; but... otherwise, I wonder if it'd be written the same. It seems that they act very alike and lack a bit of individual, distinct character. What do you think? Anyway, I'm happy I found this story again. I've just been reading it straight for hours because it's so addicting. ;) And 100, 0 words? Impressive!

That was an amazing series, I just couldn't get enough of it! I laughed I cried, yadda yada yada.
Keep up the writing! While this series seems like it's closed peacefully I can't wait to read more of your works!

Omg, this was the greatest series ever! I've never seen anyone else who can portray an IchigoxRenji relationship in such an amazing way! You should do a oneshot sequel that tells about what happens when Ichigo and Renji decide to visit their family after Unohana gives them the O.K. to leave. I mean, they've got to be having freakin' fits when they heard Ichi-chan was alright. Just an idea I had, lol! Keep up the good work!

P.S. Another great song for the series would be 'How Far We've Come' by Matchbox 20. Look it up and give it a listen.

Ya know getting hit with all that energy can't be good. It's either going to kill what power he has or blow it up to the point where it's crazy. And you know Ichigo is known for pulling power out of nowhere just because he needs it. That and Yamamoto has alot to atone for, Ichigo is dead, ya right. Ya know the hallow doesn't call Ichigo King for no reason. And just because the trap is gone doesn't mean that Hueco Mundo is empty of all those changed Hallows. And who's to say there aren't any new Arrancars, or maybe something stronger? That, and hallows get stronger if they eat someone with high spirit pressure. Don't you think that pet who ate 2 strong arrancars, and maybe alot more would still be around? I don't think a building falling on his head would kill something so powerful.

"Renji turned over in his sleep, mumbling something unintelligible. His arm stretched out to the other side of the bed, searching briefly before curling around the empty bedding and falling still."

That breaks my heart. Honestly, it really does. And for Rukia and Byakuya to witness it is even more heart-breaking because all they can do is just sit in silence.

I just wanted to say that.

Wow, what a way to end it. Though I gotta admit that I was kinda looking forward to seeing Yamamoto apologize and how Ichigo handles the three disrespectful shinigami, and the party that I know their gonna through in both the soul society and at his families in Karakura, and I wanted to see if the relation between Ichigo and his hollow changes any.

And now I want to let you know that because of this series I am now offically hooked on bleach fanfic. So far your series is the only ones I've read and now I gotta read more.
