Be amazed with yourself! I have differed from my favourite pairing L/Raito and read L/Mello which is a feat for me as I dislike L and Raito with other characters other than each other and I also rather abhor Mello...'cause he's a bastard.
I personally think that Mello should go off somewhere and not come back, leaaving L/Raito and Matt/Near!
Sorry but I severely dislike Mello the sweetness of this fic and your other characters however more than made up for it! :D Your Raito was awesome although his taste in music leaves something to be desired ;)
I am going off to read more of your fics! :D

That... That was brilliant...
It has to be one of the cutest stories I've ever read!
I've fallen in love with it! <X3
EVERYTHING was so AMAZING!
The way the characters were written, the plot, the style of writing, EVERYTHING in it!
~O.O~
I hope Raito and Near will get together... They're so cute as a couple!!
*grins*
And I LOVE the interaction between everyone!
There was a right amount of everything in it - The sadness, the happy moments, the romance - It was all perfection!!
L and Mello hae a wonderful relationship in this story!
And I absolutely adore all of your OC's - Especially Rosie.
*laughs*
You're an amazing writer!
Thank you for writing this story!
Ah... One other thing... Out of all the stories I've ever read in my life, I think this one made me smile the most. ^^~

-A quite happy and content,

Ok! Finally got the time to finish this and review!

First of all, a big, enormous thank you! for giving me the pleasure of reading such an awesome story! (and my first MelloxL nonetheless) Really, one day I was pretty pissed off at something and then I read a chapter and got all :D and even if I’m not really a fan of NearxLight I also enjoyed those parts and also loved your Raito even thought I wouldn’t really care if the real one jumped off a cliff (smiles sweetly)

Thought, I’m still kind of mad that you killed poor Matty, he’s one of my favorite characters!! (yeah, insert ¬¬ in here) but yeah, it was for the plot so… (shrugs) and I just noticed the same thing happened to him in Pais Philos. M wonder if it's just a coincidence… and both made me cry (the other more than this one of course) And… haha just loved Matsuda.

ok... Did I already make it clear just how much I loved this story? Yes? Well, too bad. I really liked/loved/adored/etc. it!!

Well done, well done...and now for chp 12.

FINALLY, I get a chance to finish reading this fanfic. Things have been crazy lately, with my high school graduation and my annual anime convention to attend. I just read these last six chapters all in one setting, though.

I'm really impressed with how this story ended up. I had my doubts at first, but you really worked this into a very entertaining fanfic. I still stand by my statement that you are the queen of character development. Only you could take such an interesting idea and make it so utterly amusing in so many ways.

I've got several favorite lines, and you kept me laughing throughout each chapter. I never lost interest for a moment. So...good job. Glad to finally have some time to catch up with your amazing work, even if it is three in the morning.

Darn, so, by the end of it, there were still only fleeting hints of the love between Raito and Near, but, that barely hampered my affection for this chapter. Makes me feel weird inside to know that another fic is over and done with, but, it was amazing! Poor Matsuda, being harrassed at work. Were you secretly his boss? XDD Don't eat me. :D -throws hands together, squealing- Oh my god, I can't believe how wonderful this was! Even after a year, Mello still has those leather clothes that he secretly got from L. Amazing, amazing, truly, one hundred percent amazing! I can't wait to see what epic tale you tell for us next. :D

-shakesfist- Congratulations. For once, it is happy tears that you have brought forth. I'm laughing and crying and straining my neck so it feels like it is being ripped. O.o That was so amazing and I'm happy I could finally get to it. O.o Whoa. I can't wait till I can find the time to get to that there Epilogue. But, that was amazing. The threeway conversation confused me and I had to read it over to see who was talking, but, I was just being a sleepy, silly pup. :D He went through with wearing /that/ tie. :D Makes me laugh and smile. I wish him good luck! Go Near! :D An amazing chapter, if I haven't said it enough already. And, see, even Near and L have finally seen that Raito is a jerk. :D Man, I'm so looking forward to teh next chapter. -dies- Congratulations on finishing another one! :D

awsome, will we see a sequal where raito attemps to get together with near? The cennemon scent was a stroke of genius bwahahahah

At first I was annoyed at the time-skip in this chapter, thinking it a cheap trick, but on reflection I think it worked for showing how life goes on, people move forward, stuff like that ... (platitudes much?) Anyway, is good.

I really, really like the relationship and interaction between L and Mello; L's whimsical, mercurial and creatively id-driven, which plays well off Mello being active, impulsive, and generally not subtle or forward-planning -- L weaves and spins through the world according to his own path, while Mello charges through bouncing off or crashing into things. They just go together and react really well. 'S called chemistry, I guess.
[Did that make any sense at all??]

I've been a little wary lately, apprehensive of a RaitoxNear Beta Couple Hookup Afterwards that would have felt like cleaning up romantic loose ends ... I'm glad you left it as it is, with just the potential (for Raito's awkwardness and embarrassment if nothing else) just hanging in the air.

Still cheerleading for Near. Plus when he explained of the vending machine, "I kicked it," of course I laughed and snorted hot chocolate. Bloody close call, nearly got the keyboard >=(

Bonus points for Matsuda cameo! ^__^ Poor, poor Mello, I think it'll be just too much cheeriness for him -- mwahahaha >=]

This fic has been so much fun! I'm sad that it's over, but can't stop smiling because I've enjoyed it so much. Yay for it and yay for you! Thank you so much! =D

Matsuda's such a cutie pie. I missed him from "Azure Paler Than the Sky" and "Songs for a Kingdom Now Lost". I wonder who was sexually harassing him? (Maybe Mikami. He's creepy enough...or you know, Gevanni, 'cause I think he's got it in him.)

So! I'm not really a fan of MelloxL, or L with, yanno...anyone, actually, but you've halfway converted me. I'm going to miss "Escort to Happiness"; it was such a good series!

(even if Matt dying so quickly made my brain go AKLDSJHFKJ;KLYHT at first. I thought, "ZOMFG, MATT-BABY HAS DIED ZOMFG". Capslock-abuse included. Feel my pain.)

I'm really hoping that you'll continue to be utterly fabulous and spoil your loyal minions (read: adoring audience) with your Death Note-flavored fics. I'm kind-of antsy, actually, 'cause you switch from sobs to smiles (and vice versa) so quickly that it works completely (insert jealousy here).

...I would totally bribe you for some MattxMello goodness, or, yanno...MattAnybody. because I'm self-serving like that.

Hearts,
Icchan

And you've officially made yourself the patron saint for all things unappreciated/unexploited in the DN fandom such as odd pairings of crackish nature.XD But more than that, you've become my absolute favorite writer, crack or otherwise!<3 Not that it matters since I'm a nobody but it matters to me that I have found a writer of immense talent who is actively participating in the fandom and writes the most entertaining, well-written stuff I'd read in long while! You really made a worthy place to check out fanfics again.XD Thank you!

Now on to my unnecessary rambling reviews.lol Raito/Near is again, exquisite in this!<3XD They are now my second favorite pairing after L/Mello, thanks to you! I feel Near is not there yet with regards to his feelings for Raito but it's getting closer alright. I mean, if he went to all the trouble of trying to wean him off of coffee and doing something so un-Near like as kicking a vending machine to get those snacks to his now former boss Raito, that is a huge, HUGE step in the right direction!XD Now we only need Raito to drown himself entirely in cinnamon perfume and have Near save him then we're good to go for a sequel?XD Okay, that's wishful thinking on my part but hey, I'm really curious to see just how Near would take to this Raito courtship-in-denial thingy. It would be amazing to see how that unfolds if ever!

L/Mello: They're living together and I'm assuming L gets to pick up Mello from work everyday as part of their new set-up?XD I love it!! There's no doubt Mello loves L now. He may deny it all he wants when Rosie's around but it's so darn obvious when he's alone with L!<3 That reaction about the dinner, how he gives in almost too easily to what L wanted...aw, that gives it away!XD But L for his part is being too much of a tease! Although I'm aware that this is epilogue, I still would've wanted to see more of those kisses and maybe a love scene to wrap it up!XD I'm greedy like that.^^;;lol But overall, this is pretty much a great ending and a well-deserved happy one for them.*thumbs up* Like i said in my previous comments, I love LxMello so it's always great when they up together in the end.<3 A sequel with the same casts would be a great idea of ever you plan to make another multi-parter.XD

Matsuda: I can just see him being sexually-harrassed everyday.lol His overall personality and looks makes him vulnerable is what I think.XD Poor guy! But he'll make a great partner for Mello whose personality is clearly too much for a flower vendor!XD

So there, another embarrassing review.^^;; Goodluck to your upcoming projects, I'd be more than glad to read more from you!

A fantastic end to a fantastic story! Woot! I love the fact the Light has a crush on Near XD. A bit pedo but it works seeing how he's practically in love with the coffee Near serves him, makes sense that he falls in love with the maker. XD

Oh gosh, Matsuda. He's such a dork. It's not surprising that he was sexually harrassed XD and that Mello is extremly annoyed by his presense. Yup, not surprising at all.

Aw I love the Mello/L fluff! Even though it was brief it still gave the sense of that they were stable, happy, and more importanly in love! So cute!

I love, love, truely LOVE THIS FIC! Your awesome :D. “Sexual" huh? I'm off to read that now XD

No!
Why must you end it here?
I wanted to see Raito and Near get it on.
And cheesey pick up lines, that would be wonderful...
Oh well.

ah, a happy ending, how nice and unexpected :P
it may have taken him 16 chapters but, mello is finally happy thanks to L.
if only he could have held out on being happy just a little bit longer so we could have seen raito flirt with near!

Matsuda~~! xD Ah, he's so cute. Haha. Rosie made sexual innuendo about Mello and L. That's great. And Light/Near! Yay!

Oh my gosh. This has got to be one of the best Death Note fanfics I've ever read. Thank you so much for writing this. I've enjoyed it tremendously.
