Oh honey, this is one of the best Saiyuki fics I ever read (and am I glad that there's still good authors willing to right in this fandom still).

Very original, and hits all the spots (action! comedy! Sanzo being a jerk, but still being Sanzo!) it makes me giddy. Hopefully you can write and/or post more Saiyuki stories, and maybe a sequel or too.

man, i've missed reading your stuff. as always, no matter what fandom you're writing for, it was utterly fantastic. way to make a bizarre idea totally and completely believable. always a fan!

-O.A.

well that was interesting >.<
your descriptions and writing was amazing.
keep up the great writing!

Goddamn, but I love your fics.

having read the reviews, I gotta say I agree with YMFaery - Flowery Sanzo FTW!
The line about Hakkai with a secret - "What do you mean, they don't know how many bodies yet?" - just made me giggle

Sanzo's rational thought jumping ship...priceless XD

Love Kanzeon and your use of mixed pronouns for hir.

I think that if you do a sequel for this one, Sanzo should start growing his hair out - perhaps the limiter becomes a ring to hold it back in a ponytail? - and maybe Gojyo cuts his short again. Y'know I just thought of something - the hairlength for Konzen and Kenren are switched with Sanzo and Gojyo. Granted that Gojyo's is not as long as Konzen's but it's still there... Perhaps that's something to play with.

Please do another one for the Bleach/Buffy Arc. And maybe continue in the Blades of Blood 'verse.

This is the BEST Saiyuki story I've read! And all in one chapter so it was easy to read offline, my hero! It is superbly written, nothing stands out as errors, such a rarity in fanfic. I really enjoyed your characterizations. Sanzo seemed just right and I really liked Hakkai. It's been awhile since I read the manga and I haven't actually seen the anime you referenced, but it was all easy to follow even with just my hazy memories. I really liked the relationship between Goku and Sanzo, I can't remember much beyond the violence, but it's sweet how you show it. The action was great and the nae idea was cool. I don't really recall Hakkai without his limiters, but what a great spin to take with those vines. I would really love to see some fanart of Sanzo in bloom.
:) Now I must go see what other stories you have to offer. Keep on writing!

I was so happy to see a Saiyuki fic with Hakkai and Sanzo as the main characters. I still have to see the whole anime and haven't read the manga so I've yet to see Hakkai's 'plant' form...unless that was all made up for this fic. I hope to see more from this verse in the future. Ta!

*glomps Vathara* Ah, I seen that you had the Saiyuki bunnies biting and been eager to see what would come of it. I love it. Sanzo slow change into a Nae/youkai was great. Hakkai's is right, no matter what Sanzo says about not caring, he cares very deeply for people. So Sanzo remember his life as Konzen. *giggles* I'm eager to see how the rest of this will play out. Hopefully the bunnies will still keep biting. I want to see if Hakkai and Gojyo will remember their lives in heaven.

I have loved essentially everything I've read of yours, and this story certainly is no exception. I was so excited when I got the alert for a Saiyuki fic by you - I haven't read a good, *new* fic in this fandom for ages! This was fantastic; your characterizations for all of the characters were amazing, and I was completely drawn into your plot as well. Fantastic work! This is definitely going into my favorites, and I'll probably be re-reading this one several more times. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! :D

Still lurking. And going 'squee' over the thought of a flower-covered, grumpy Sanzo being forced to realize that cuddling is important. Loved the oneshot. Can see why it took over from some of the other plot-bunnies.

...Lake Monster...*snicker*

*happy flailing ensues* Love! So much love. Nae and Hakkai and OMG SUCH PERFECT MONKEY.

unlike "Bleach" and Project Tatterdemalion, i have actually seen some Saiyuki (not my favorite series; i don't like the artwork [making me the next target of a fangirl mob, i know]) which may explain why i found this immediately accessible in a way ProjTat wasn't.

favorite line: "Good home. Don't die." altho' "Waste not, want not," has a certain very subtle horror to it. reminds me of the Swamp Thing comics, and war with the plant kingdom.

"the wind itself seemed to carry a gentle whisper of 'beware', and 'stay hidden, little one'." from which i assume Kanzeon Bosatsu is keeping a close eye on her project?

'"Many hallucinations do draw on familiar experiences," Hakkai said cheerfully.' which in Sanzo's case . . . are assassins. Saiyuki in a nutshell.

'"Really, Jiroshin!" Se tched. "It's of age."' and Sanzo's isn't? yet?

thank again for a wonderful story, again!

I love this story! Perfect setup, attention to detail and cute add ons to the original story. And Sanso and Goku are remembering the past, always good.

Well written as always. I take it that this was the Saiyuki bunny you were being tormented by. Very interesting. I like it.

This is definitely one of my favorite Saiyuki fics. I love the moments between Hakkai and Sanzo. You really kept to their personalities which I've found to be rare in most fanfics. This was an awesome read and I hope you write more Saiyuki fics in the future.

My goodness! That was one of the best SanzoXHakkai fics I've read in quite some time! I have to say, you left the ending very open...perhaps a sequel?? That would be awesome.

You have a very interesting style of writing--cut straight to the point but done in such a way as to not sound choppy, dull or incomplete. Normally, stories with a changing POV drive me out of my mind...but this one didn't. It's like any story can be successful with a changing POV, but there are these strings that go from one point to another. People miss these specific strings but it's like you hit them right on the mark every time. I'm very impressed. I'm known for being a bit of a harsh critic, so to impress me is quite an accomplishment. (Sorry! I sound very full of myself there. It's just that I'm surprised that I'm this...well, impressed!)

Keep up the good work. ;D I'd like to see some more SanzoXHakkai fics from you, if you don't mind me saying. XD
