LOL. I was utterly prepared for an angst-soaked, brutally bitter ending, where Kousuke discovers he is, in fact, a masochist (if only for Kanone), and Kanone tells him flat-out that he's not interested in playing the part of sadist (even if it comes so naturally). Seemed that would fit the mood of this piece.

Nevertheless. This was tremendous fun to read. I love the excuses Kousuke makes for himself for wanting to be on the ground, beneath Kanone. It's all just adrenaline, sure.

Loved the slightly angsty comment about "surviving-no-matter-what" vs "living" and the subsequent ironic reflection that it was the safest way to live.

sorry, the review was supposed to be much more longer, but i forgot damn ffnet can't read smileys or stuff like that. so yeah. i have to repeat everything all over again. in any case, apart from the part that i loved it because it STILL felt natural, even though kanone-eyes will always be my number one fave couple, what i wanted to say was that i was just musing over the idea of coupling those two together yesterday; remember, in my e'mail, when i mentioned that i imagined kanone would react silly and inappropiate when near eyes or kousuke? that's exactly what i had in mind, heh. and, well, this is SO kousuke; the thoughts, the everything, maybe it's because of all the swearing but yeah, i can find the real kousuke there. and oh, bloodlusting kanone is the luv! oh, and the best part: 'all blade children have issues'. that one is one hundred per cent true, haha! right, so, all in all, i think this was everything... at least this time it sent a whole sentence and not only 'hey', haha. i'm off topic again, i know.
so as usual, i wouldn't have expected this, but i really enjoyed it (reminds me of the way i fell in love with a matt-misa fic, never would have thought i'd like that one either..)! the flow of it all runs quite nice! now i don't know how it would have sounded in the original form, with the scenes that got cut off, but i think this is pretty complete the way it is now.
anyway, i'm off now, moo!
adina.

oh my god, i can't believe you wrote this, i had SUCH a good time reading it!
