TsukiRiver chapter 6 . 4/20/2017
Ahhhh this was so good! It ended at a really nice spot, I don't feel super confused or like there are too many threads left hanging, but I still want more because it is _Interesting_ and I loved it!

You know, I was going through your stories and I don't recognize any of them. Not one. For the life of me, I can't remember why I followed you.
I am REALLY glad I did though! These are so GOOD!
I mean, I realize this is old, but it's still wonderful! :)

This is fantastic! The pacing and flow are excellent and characters are well written and well voiced. It's absolutely worth reading 5 times.

Oooohh my god you're writing is forever on point, even if it's stuff from more than a decade ago. In canon, Kenshin struggles a lot with the guilt of being a killer; it's nice to see one universe in which he makes some kind of peace with himself. Probably helps that Battousai is like a live-in friend who can help you deal with your problems lol.

I like this, but I can't figure out just what a Crowley is and it's kind of driving me nuts!

Alright, so I've got a problem with you, and that problem is that whenever you finish a story, I want it to keep going forever. Seriously. Embers changed my life. Everything you have ever written for Ruroken has been fabulous. It's honestly inspiring. I have a questions: I can see a lot of evidence of research in all of your works, and I was wondering if you had any tips for someone who is very aware of how many details they are missing and has no idea how to find them. Apart from that, I just wanted to say that this was amazing, and I loved it. All of it, and I normally hate supernatural fanfiction. But you didn't get too bogged down in werewolf vampire stuff, and Kenshin was still Kenshin. Plus, Battousai wasn't some murderous rage monster the way I sometimes see him portrayed. Rurouni Kenshin has a good spread of fanfictions, but I really enjoy your work!

A very interesting and well crafted story, I was captivated from start to finish!

I'm rather humiliatingly in love with this. Like the feeling of "I just found my new favorite book, I have to tell /everyone/" except amplified a thousand fold because I only have one or two friends into RK...

I know these are old stories of yours, (I've read both this and its sequel in what amounts to one-sitting, and will probably read through them again because they're genuinely that good), but I hope you're working on a sequel to Witchy Woman. Your profile says the answer to that question is generally yes, but... old stories. For all I know you've lost interest, though you set up a potential Jinchuu arc beautifully by the end of Witchy Woman, so I hope that's not the case. At the least, I'm extremely grateful what you've posted is completed. You left me shaking with adrenaline multiple times over the course of both stories, and I had to vocally respond to events more than once as well. Even pull back from the computer and just savor what was going on, and the anticipation of what would happen next. You're quite good at weaving minor details together and hinting at what may or may not happen as well, by the way. I think my favorite part of the whole set up is seeing Battousai and Kenshin interact, and the way you've set up them and their relationship-and how it affects all the various characters around them. I really, really love your version of Battousai. I can't really be more coherent about it, because I'm still in the 'this is my new favorite thing ever' stage, but it's really beautifully done.

I feel like you deviate pretty drastically from the view the canon series takes on death and murder, but it's completely understandable with the set up-so much so that it doesn't remotely feel out of character, which is quite the accomplishment. I'm super impressed by how you handle the characters, too, let alone the setting. I'm not very familiar with the other two inspirations for this, but I had no problem understanding and following the story anyway. The glossaries of slang did help clarify things, but it was only clarification. I was never really lost.

Just. Gah. I could keep rambling on about how absolutely fantastic I think this story is, but I should probably cut it here before it gets even more out of control. Know you have my deepest respect and admiration!

The end... oh god. The last few paragraphs! My god that was so so so beautiful. Most beautiful transformation I've ever read. Oh how I wish this story was longer. I'm already missing it and I'm not even done reading. :p

Thank you for writing and sharing!

This story was damn good. You should consider writin original fiction!
findingwhimsy chapter 6 . 7/14/2015
I've read this like 5 times and I still love your writing so much. I know it's been years, but a small part of me still hopes for a trilogy. You've made a modern day Kenshin with all his Meiji foibles believable. At the same time, I find myself in love with your sword spirit Battousai.

All your characters are spot on, either lovable or very easy to dislike as was their purpose.

Well, on to rereading Witchy Woman now that I've reached the end of this one.

I enjoyed this a lot! I read it basically as original fic and it worked fine. I didn't see Sanosuke dying coming, or that he wasn't really dead, that worked very well.
