beautifully sweet. this pairing intrigues me, not to the point where I ship it, but so much so that I can temporarily stash away my IchiHime and RenRuki fandoms and sit and read this all the way through. the title actually was a turn-off for me (for its lack of capitalization), but your writing has proved itself several times over in the expanse of this fic. lovely work, keep it up!

Wow, that was superb. Everything was spot-on, the characterization, the slowly revealed emotions, the pacing. Wonderful. I thought I was the only one who loved this pairing for the greatness it could be but it seems I am not alone. I loved it!

That was AWESOME!!
It was a great uh...story...?
I lvoed it!
I moved me beyond my usual self...

Wow, you are an amazing writer. There were so many memorable phrases... and your character portrayal is fantastic. I really enjoyed the conversations between Orihime and Renji.

Your writing style is too amazing for words. The mood it set in this story was... spectacular. Not to mention how much I love Orihime-Renji. Thank you.

I liked this a lot. Your one-shot had me glued to the computer screen and thanks to you, I'm missing out on precious sleep that I haven't had all weekend. Bravo for a beautifully-written story, and hopefully you'll write more RenjixHime.

This was beautifully written and you did a great job with their characteristics. I enjoyed this a lot. Kiitos!

Beautiful progression of their relationship.

...this is a wonderful, poignant, beautiful slow-burn of a story; thank you so much for sharing it! I enjoyed the cameos of other characters, but your way of writing both Orihime and Renji is gorgeous. I laughed, and smiled at the words as I read, and have tears in my eyes as I type this. Thank you again, and cheers~

This is so many levels of love. I absolutely adore this fic. The characterization is spot on and your writing is lovely.

Fantastic job.

Good LORD that was delightful! I'm at a loss for words, truly. Splendid.

Why, hello there. Glad to see you here. Adding this story to my favourites, obviously, and let me say again how much I love it: if I was only allowed to reread one Bleach fic for the rest of my tenure in fandom, it'd either be this one or Roots of Heaven.

All my love,

Great story!

Renji/Orihime is a couple that should be written about more than it is, and you did a great job of it.
