Gorgeous. Just amazingly gorgeous! I loved your original take on Sebastian and the whole "getting aquainted" sequence. And of course, the whole pre-Sebastian demon was made entirely of WIN.

...I absolutely loved this.

Wonderful job.

I feel so bad for Ciel. But he's making the best of the situation-and there was nothing to do about his soul so at least he can live his life now.

Those evil people. They got what they deserved.

Ciel is so cute. He does need comfort, and Sebastian doesn't really mean it though I hope he'd grow to...

I just can't say how muck I liked this. Keep up the good work.

wow.. you really are good at creating that prologue that fits perfectly with the story o.O good work <3

Not surprising to see you write so well, even outside of characters that are not set in the D. Gray Man universe.

Each character was depicted as they are, including the demon Sebastian. He scares me so much...

That was really sad. Poor Ciel. But I loved it! It was beautify written...

very well done considering how little we actually know about what happened during that month, just the small snippets from the anime and manga. that's a pretty good evaluation of what could've happened.

Very well done.

I really love your take on what could have happened in Kuroshitsuji. It's well written and fits in well with the canon. Ciel and Sebastian were in character; that's very good.

That was pretty awesome. Thank you :)

That was fantastic! .. well, in a creative sense. It was far from fantastic for Ciel, the poor darling. I was always wondering if he underwent sexual or physical abuse, and how he got past all of that to be the somewhat-mature little boy that he is today.
I love how you described Sebastian's true form, and that Ciel named him after his dog. Sebastian certainly does give off an air of intrigue regarding Ciel, and it's interesting how he's 'testing the limits' as to what he can and should do.
All-in-all, superb oneshot. Very well-written, coveys the emotions of the characters nicely, and is very creative. I loved it.

really nice fanfiction ^^ It ties up some open ends in the manga nicely and doesn't seem to clash with it at all. I like it alot ^^ Its sort of like the prologue to the manga, what Ciel (poor Ciel D;) had to endure, and how he had summoned Sebastian. I like how in this version you assumed Sebastian already took his payments before forming the contract with Ciel, so he will not end up killing Ciel for his soul. I assumed that one day after Ciel fulfills his goal (no idea what that is) Sebastian will take his payments then. ^^ well nevertheless very, very interesting fanfic. Thank you for writing it =D

I love realistic fics.
Sebastian is a demon, and Ceil had horrible things done to him. That's that. The end. It's not nice, but it's the truth.
Such a sad tale, but so well done. I really love this fic, it was so artistically described, and I could practically feel the emotions myself.

♥♥Cx Oh gosh, I absolutely loved this story... Letting you know what happened (or at least what probably happened, based on what you already know from the manga) eased my curiosity, I guess.. Everyone's in character. ^ ^ And you ended and started the story quite well~
♥Favs♥ ^-^

this is really good!! very well done *nods approvingly*, yes you have to write more!!

and you served justice for this anime and it's characters, very well done *clap, clap*

plz do write more? *puppy dog eyes* xP

Kid9535, you wrote: "I would expect Ciel to be sadistic in his killing of his torturers, but well, not so"

Well, if you go to this page of the manga you will see that it's however what somehow happenened:

/Kuroshitsuji/4/33/

On the bottom image, you can see intestines, eyes and a heart on the blooded floor. I'm not saying that Ciel specifically asked for this mess, but it so matched the intensity of his hate that he didn't do anything either to stop Sebastian from his way of doing things.

That's why this story is SO in character. Not only it is wonderfully written, but it's rare that a fanfic fits so well into the original plot that you can't help saying to yourself "yes, it had to be like this. It's just that we didn't see all of it yet".
I think you caught and understood every hint and glimpse the manga gave us to built a whole coherent tale of what really happened to our poor Ciel.

Bravo.
