Hehe I don't know which one I'd want to win-Murray or Federer; they would both break a record :S Must wake up early tmrw to watch it! Back to the point of this review, just the title alone sparked my interest in this story. I read the summary and got even more interested and now having read 2 chapters of it, I can say without a doubt that I am looking forward to the next chapter :D This story is so good you can actually feel the emotions in every thought, every repetition of words. I don't think Anna isn't a Mary-sue; it's hard to consider her one with all that she's been through so I don't really have any complaints:)

Hooking to this story. Imma hooking to this story. :))

Anyway, I just wanna ask what the 1st chapter's title is. Thank you!

wow... seiichi's kind of a prick... you just can't go telling people that kind of thing... sighzzzz great job and plz update soon

I really like the beginning of the story. It's very interesting. I know that a lot of promising things are bound to happen so I'm looking forward to the next chapters. And there's a lot of yukimura in it! He's my favorite POT character :D
Anna and yukimura's relationship is already very strained from that start and I think that that's what makes thi story a good read. It's hard to mend a relationship like that and I would really like to see how you would write that and how anna would eventually recover from her brokenness.

also, I think that this is a big change from 250 dark stars since anna doesn't have the randomness that an and sayoko has. And I think that this has a heavier feel to it than the other story, except that I somehow don't, because of the character of both yukimura and anna and because there's no bubbly character to lighten up the mood in serious situations, or so I think. But, of course, I love both stories the same. I think I've already said this before but I like how you characcterize yukimura and I am excited to see how you'll write him in a story like this, where he isn't the big brother or just the tennis captain or the child of god that everyone looks up to and somehow fears..
Yeah... so I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really ecstatic for the next next update :)

This is totally great! I can... feel the emotion! This is awesome - please please please update soon!

Oh my. I'm tearing up. Anna is an awesome OC character you've created! (I still love Sayoko though), but wow. The raw emotion barreling off of this story? Love! And in 4 days? Craziness has ensued. As always, keep up the absolute greatness of your stories!

OMG I LOVE YOUR YUKIMURA. He's so perfect, but not. Like, he can be so mean and make you think you're wrong and he's right and how dare you even think he could BE wrong. And then you realize that's a horrible trait, but he's just so mesmerizing you're distracted from it. Poor Anna D: I want to hug her and maybe that will boost her self-esteem a little? She seems so nice, and GOD YUKIMURA, YOUR FLAWLESSNESS HAS RUINED HER. Dang Child of God.

Anyway, I'm excited for this story! Anna doesn't seem Mary Sue at all, and I can't wait to see how she affects Yukimura and Rikkai and how they affect her. (surely spending some time with Marui and Jackal will brighten her day a bit!) :D

ARE YOU KIDDING DUDE THIS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS AND YOU ARE WAY TOO MODEST

Now onto the real review - you nailed Yukimura and although it really kind of sucks for me to admit it, he's right about Anna wanting a scapegoat for her failures.

But props to her to actually go up to him and say that sort of thing. That's admirable. Although I'm so wondering how Yukimura is going to fix her inner turmoil when he's kinda... well... an asshole. XD

Anna sounds really misunderstood and lost. I'm guessing there's more of a story of why she's so broken, and not necessarily because of her losing streak (maybe a failed relationship with a coach/boyfriend/someone special - or the competition and high stakes? who knows). Still, I can see her being strong again. Maybe with some character traits too that aren't present right now will come out as well.

BUT UH YEAH KEEP IT UP AND TO REPEAT MYSELF, I LOVE IT

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW ANNA REACTS

AND YEAH

i'll shut up now...

Oh, you have a job? Well, you should...
Anyways. Wow. Anna. Tennis. Nice use of words.
I really like how you just characterized Anna. She is very strong, but just is so... Ugh. I can't use words to describe it. And Yukimura. Way to be too honest and kill off whatever left Anna had. I'm not dissing Yukimura- I thought what he did was right. I'm also not saying that Anna has chance in tennis or whatever though.
Thanks for updating
Angie
PS; I luv her too. She's also one of my favourites.

This is so beautiful! The moment with Yukimura at the end of the second chapter, Wonderful! I'm still dissapointed that you've out 250 dark stars in hiatus, but this, this seems amazing, I've been waiting for a good Yukimura fic for A.G.E.S! so, go go Becca! :D

Oh, an oneshot... Wow. That Fic was VERY out of you. Didn't expect it. Whoa. But nonetheless, it was very thought out and original. Nice.
Angie

I must admit: when I saw that you had put 250DS on hiatus, I (quite literally) screamed noooo for twenty seconds. But this story sounds interesting. Very, very interesting. Looking forward to reading more :) By the way, are you basing this in the same universe as 250DS?

Wow. Again. So beautiful! I'm so excited for this story too! Great writing, as usual.
