So, I check on this story every few months to see if it might have been updated and I just thought I would write once again to say that it is the quintessential fiction for this fandom. I love everything about this story and I am pretty sure it would absolutely make my first year of medical school if a new chapter appeared. The sensitivity of each situation and the care and detail given to each description of the characters is superb. I wish that Fruits Basket had continued as it does in your story and I (still) wait with bated breath for the moment when all three of them are able to recognize the love that they have for one another. Amazing, trully, the only thing i have any complaint about is that I am dying to know what happens next! In case you are in any need of a little motivation, I know so many people would be delighted to see this work continue! Thanks again for a great book, one I have now enjoyed several times and continue to site as one of the best fanfiction ever written.

Oh wow. This story is seriously amazing. I started reading it last week and I haven't been able to tear myself away from it. You are an extremely talented writer. You understand the characters so well. I really really really am looking forward to see when this story goes! Thank you so much!

I like the UST developing between Yuki and Kyo, added to the fact that both are comepletly oblivious to it.

and yay! Kyo-kun made some friends. XD

Hopefully Number Two and Eiko and Umi will be good friends for Tohru-chan.

And maybe Yuki-hime will make a friend too, who knows. _

Love this storu and hope you update again.

Woohoo! An update! And a fabulous one at that. I'm intrigued and fascinated by the way you're making the connections between Kyou, Tooru, and Yuki...first by bringing them together, and then by fracturing them. What I love about this rocky time they're having is that we can see the close connections behind of it. Really intricate and really well done!

Great chapter! I love how they comfort each other. Can't wait to see where this is going.

I still love this story so much! I discovered it in 2004 when I first got into fanfiction (Your website is what made me start reading fanfic :D at all I didn't know it really existed and that it was so well written).

I stayed up way too late reading this last night 3 fantastic chapter! I think your pacing of their budding sexuality is spot on and feels very authentic and real :)

Thank you so much for continuing this story - I can't wait to see what happens next!

I'm delighted that you updated at all, and this chapter did not disappoint! I love this story and will follow it no matter how long it takes. I'm not sure how long it's been since I found it and stuck it in my 'check back occasionally' bookmark, but it was when they were still living in the shack, to give you some idea of how much I want to read the entire story. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

There were a few typos, some grammatical problems, and an occasional awkward phrasing: it could use a little polishing, but isn't bad. Your strengths are more in characters and plot than wordsmithing and that's fine. I like that you don't back down from creating original characters and that they feel present and realistic. Tooru, Yuki, and Kyou each sound distinct and like themselves, although who the reader is focusing on jumps around a bit too much, or at least too suddenly. I like that you make them, especially Yuki and Kyou take the baby steps they need to actually get to a relationship, although it kills me to wait. And their complete inability to communicate is totally true to all three characters, but I wish they would learn a little faster and as a reader, it's getting old fast.

You always make everything happen so much slower than I'd like, but I'm always glad you did. I enjoy the details and the plot and the domesticity.

Personally, I don't care much about chapter endings. No matter where it stops, the story is not done and I'm going to be sad. I'd much rather have more frequent updates, smaller or not. There weren't any really natural breaks in this chapter, but your small breaks would have worked as well. Nothing happens at the end of this chapter; there is no change or understanding for better or worse, which I think is why it feels a bit random to end there. They're still in about the same place as they were when we started this chapter.

Anyway, I'm happy you've updated, I love the new chapter! Please keep writing, Discoveries hasn't been forgotten!

I just found this story a few days ago, and it's absolutely amazing. I'm a big fan of FB, and I'm amazed that Merrow can write something that is as fun and interesting as the series. The chapters are wonderfully well-crafted, the strengths and weaknesses of the characters well-realized, and the domestic plot is enchanting. Some of the most wonderful and high quality fanfic develops to this point (a kind of sexual-angst climax) and then the author reaches a creative impasse. I dearly hope that the author continues and allows the characters to keep developing. It's been mesmerizing so far.

I quite enjoy this story and thus was really excited that you had updated! (Even if it did take me a little while to read it and a bit longer to get a chance to write this review.)

I personally feel that it would have worked well to break this chapter up into several smaller chapters (it would certainly make it easier to review...)

That said, I am still intrigued by the story and where it might go, even 28 chapters into it- so I'd say it's doing well. I am also quite interested to see what would happen if (when?) Yuki finally does wake up to realize that he was cuddling up to Kyo in his sleep... Will he completely freak out? Or will he start to understand things a little better?

Obviously there could use a bit of spelling and grammatical revisions, but nothing that really stopped me in my tracks.

I'm looking forward to reading more!

I guess it is no surprise that a story more than ten years old should be so compelling, but I am still amazed. You must hear this all the time, but this fantastic tale of love, youth and survival is a gem. It is easily as good as the anime and just as carefully crafted and charming. As beautifully written as any novel and with more power than even the original series, it is a delight to read. Though clearly a work of mammoth proportions, the is no part of the story that is not fascinating and elegant. Bravo. I will await the nest chapter with great anticipation along with, I should think, many other devoted readers.

LMAO! XD XD XD I swear, after I read this chapter, I totally made this one of my favorites! XD XD XD Kyou and his cramps...XD XD XD XD XD OMG, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO STOP LAUGHING RIGHT NOW! XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

This one...argh its so long, so detailed and so much to be said about it I truly don't know where to start! Its immense! And I love it! I can't believe the double pairing actually works, and works well at that, but it does...amazing :D

And all the characters too...ahhh i'm speechless. Seriously, I dont know what to say cause I dont have a clue where to start so sorry but you'll have to be happy with the sheer fact I can't put anything into words!

A couple of things I will say is...How this is going to work in the end without them all breaking from each other (especially given that Tohru still doesnt know she's hurting them essentially) is a mystery, Tohru getting angry and bossing them around had to be one of my fav scenes, as was Yuki protecting them in that storm, and when in Mai's when the two were told that she couldnt choose between them/loved them both...oh and when she hugged them both at Mai's too, also liked how they all congregated towards each other in sleep (especially Yuki while sleepwalking lol too funny his thought process there!) and the town pulling in to help them after everyone was convinced of their need to run. There's another scene that I'm not fully remembering right now, think it was earlier on...erm...it'll come back to me lol. Course there were loads and lots and many many little favourite parts to but I won't mention all of them!

In a way, I'm feeling like Yuki is right now...miss the ease of Mai's and before..and know that from now on its going to get a heck of a lot more complicated (and not wholly sure thats a good thing :P ).

So glad to get news from Sohma's back home, so could see Ayame sticking up for him like that even over his shop and that everyone's had to stick even closer together...but I really wish you'd do a chapter or a sidestory (even just a oneshot) wherein we get to see them all back home...maybe Kunimitsu's return and the whole of that reaction, I mean yeah his details of what went on are pretty detailed anyway but we can only guess for after! so what do ya think?

Shigure's surely skipped out knowing he'd get major flak otherwise...?

One more, no sorry two more things...it is not too obvious when a chapter doesnt use a beta but you do have a habit of skipping words or adding in too many for example 'might might have' but not in a way that I think was meant to be deliberate. Generally though you're writing is quite sound and nothing else drastically sticks out.

Finally, I'm not sure if I like this one more than Full Course...I think I like them both the same each on there own way and much of what I said, generally, about that one applies here as well.

Excellent read again, thank you, hope to see another update in the future and NEW FAN! _

I wanted to drop you a review this time because I wanted to let you know that I've been following your continued stories for nearly 3 or 4 years now (hard to keep track) frankly since the time that I first got into fruits basket. your fanfiction was some of the first that I truly enjoyed. I don't read much fruitsbasket fanfiction anymore (and I'm painfully slow at updating my own) but I still look forward to your updates.

I just wanted to let you know that you at least have one older fan still hanging around. Thanks for the update. happily you always leave me wanting more.

Holy Moses! I come back and check on your fics all the time, just to be sure...and then...BOOM! Update! Made my week! I think I must've yelled or something because my brother asked me what was wrong. lol. Anyways, other than a few grammatical errors, this is another outstanding piece of work. It is a rare gift to be blessed with such a beautifully descriptive writing ability. I can always connect with the characters and I'm able to empathize with what it is they're going through, even though their situations may be far from anything I have ever experienced. Like all great writers, you transport your readers into this whole other world. Not only that, but you always stay true to the characters of furuba. It's like you intrinsically know exactly what they would do or say, or how they would look in any type of situation. You bring them to life like no one else. The predicament they are in is incredibly difficult, battling with emotions and finances and school and work...not to mention teenage hormones & their little lop-sided triangle romance...on top of that living a double life, keeping their horrific past a secret, battling with the guilt of leaving the others behind...you don't sugar coat it. It is so real and believable and it really sucks you in, like you're there experiencing all this with them. Thank you for bringing this kind of joy into my life by sharing your gift. I hope all is well in your busy life, I wish you the best :) I will remain an avid reader of your fiction and keep checking in on your stories because they are totally worth the wait!

Wow, an update! This remains to be one of my favorite stories, this and "Spotted". It's nice to know that your still involved in your stories, there are many a story I enjoyed that were abandoned in the end. Your triangle definately has some issues to work out, hope that they find some measure of further reconcilliation. At least Kyon seems to have managed to find a connection to the dorm residents.

I'm wondering if Akane (1) and her clique are the bullying type, or "merely" want to ostracize Morikawa? It would be a question of degree and maliciousness on Akane's part. I think that while Tooru would find it difficult to openly stand against Akane and her clique, she nonetheless has the strength to do so. While Akane might manage to control the "public" impression she and her clique makes at school, Yuki (and Kyon) would believe Tooru's side of the story in the end. The only issue being Tooru's dislike of confrontation, and of speaking badly of someone. Not that Akane really has a chance, but she might manage to make quite miserable, and influence certain teachers already disposed to dislike our "innocent flower" (not so innocent anymore. _)

About that- will the curses be fading as time goes on in this story as well? I can see problems looming in the not too distant future, because none of the 3 lovebirds is really good at being discrete, and in an environment like the dorm, there's all too many chance of someone stumbling upon something Yuki, Kyon and Tooru would rather keep private, or them screwing up their stories enough to awaken serious speculation, or even investigation.

I thank you for the sizable chapter. The story doesn't look like a resolution is close at hand (since we/the reader hope they manage to finish school), so I hope you remain inspired, and that I continue to have the time to read your stories.
