Oh, God, this was amazing.
Touya always was one of my favorite characters since I read Card Captor Sakura and he was even more amazing in TRC. And I think your characterization of him is truly great. His dislike of Syaoran, his love for Yuki, his taciturn way of caring for his sister and his absolute devotion to her were mirrored in him perfectly. The way you made a new Sakura appear - I don't know whether your Sakura is the same from CCS or another one, but I loved her - was amazing. She was Sakura and yet so much more. When you described her staring into nothingness, scaring Touya, I could almost see her sitting there. A small child bearing so much.
Also, the relationship between Yuki and Touya you described was beautiful.
I really liked the way you fit so many years into a relatively short story. And so many well-known characters had their part - though I wondered, who are the three girls who are to become Sakura's best friends? I haven't read the last two volumes of TRC, sadly (I just have to buy them but somehow I managed to not do so for half a year now .) so I don't know whether they make an appearance, but I wondered whether they would be the same I thought they were...
And the ending was absolutely sad and yet beautiful. I so hope for Touya that he will find his sister again.
Thank you very much for writing and sharing this story! It was wonderful. |
