Just a random thought, but you could have called your story something more like "A Fated Year" or something..."Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring" just sounds like you couldn't think of a title...

I like that you have the notes and definitions at the bottom. That's helpful.

Thanks!

OMG! THis is such a great fic!! Very sad, but wow!! I commend you on your skill as a writer. I hope to one day take the leap and expose myself (through my writing) to the world (or at least the fanfic world). I am just so very pleased that some authors finish their fics. No insult intended, I know this is for fun and that there is no monetary gain. Still, I wish some of the fics I've started to read through out my time at , would give me closure.
Okay enough pity pool stuff. Your fic is great. Look forward to more of your writing.

This was a beautiful story! Reading of Touga's actions, along with Sesshoumaru's, made me rethink of a lot of things. There was a different kind of depth that's rarely seen, and it was intricate all throughout. Well done. :)

Lovely short story.

This review will be brief, but this in no way will mean that I find this story lacking in anyway.

I don't know if this is what is expected of the readers, but, I'm kind of tearing up right now. I'm saddened... and happy... and all emotional. I don't get that way very often about things I read (fairly rare in actuality), so please take it to mean that I am very moved by your story.

It really gets to me.

You said to read between the lines if we didn't get some of your allusions, but I think I got more than enough without doing so. I think I'll be hit even more by reading this again tomorrow, to see if I missed any nuances or subtleties.

Beautiful tale, wonderfully written, and everything I've come to expect from you. Introspection, heartbreak, and resolution. Loved every moment I spent delving into the depths of this tale. : ) Fabulous!

Oh man, heart-rending stuff, Noa! But thank you for sharing it, nonetheless! You're such a sublime writer, your work just amazes me.

Son of a bitch, but this chapter hurt.

So does this chapter count as winter? Will we ever see Kagome again? I'm really interested to see where you are going to go with this.

I like it!

Ah, I am reminded once again of why you are one of my favorite authors. So bittersweet. I look forward to seeing further updates. It provides a nice break from the usual Sess/Kag fiction out there. Thank you for this refreshing piece. It really made my day seeing an update from you in my email. Best of luck in your future works!

Well then, I was answered it seems... This is modern times... Now I'm dying to know what you're going to do with them.

I continue to read this while I'm supposed to be getting ready for work... I'm a bit confused about the timeline, I'm guessing this is still the warring era? Though the use of the words Tokio and wife and divorce threw me a curve ball...

Having just finished reading the first chapter I must say that I'm positively impressed with this. It's a different kind of story from what I'm used and that's good. I'm off to read 2nd chapter now XD

Your method of writing is beautiful! Can't wait to read more! :D

Beautifully haunting, as always.
