I come back to catch up on my flist, /finally/, and I find /this/. I can't even describe how happy I am after reading this.

The descriptions and the imagery are gorgeous, and I love your characterization, especially Tezuka. Their interactions are perfect, too. Lovely! Thank you for this, I needed it tonight. ♥

Buh. So good. I love the tension and the descriptions and the characterisation and "Ryoma" and "Kunimitsu" and cuddling.

♥!

I saw this just after I'd FINALLY posted the fic I was working on all day and I just sat here for a minute, staring at the title and then at the clock. 'Can I really make it long enough to read it all?'

The answer, of course, was YES. I've been waiting for this all weekend long and OHGOD was it worth the wait. ♥

The tone, the exchanges, the atmosphere - it was all perfect. I really love the way they relate to one another and they're not so easy to write this well. I know, I've tried.

Gah, thank you for writing this and for sharing it. I know I'll read it a hundred more times.

Just beautiful, hon.

If you wrestled with it, I sure couldn't tell. It was positively seemless.

*laughs* And I got all warm and fuzzy from the TakaFuji - I was most appreciative of that. ♥ I got the most adorable mental image of Fuji zipping up Taka's parka and fixing his hat before ventured out into the snow.

O__O <-----> *____* <-----> ^____^

I had to read it three times to get ever little detail. Every line is just so oh, ah, and aww. The best scene was the name part since it was more intimate than anything else to me.

yes! oooh, i just love formal cultures and that special intimacy that comes with using someone's given name in them. i was really indulging myself with that part. and thank you for the feedback &hearts! i really enjoyed your little illustration. ;)

WOOT! I am totally, totally in love with this fic XD I love your Tezuka. His self-restraint is really something... And the part when he calls him "Ryoma" is just as nice as the "Buchou" - "Ku-ni-mi-tsu" talk.

Sweet!

Thanks for sharing ;)

thank you! buchou's restraint is endlessly fascinating to me. his character is so complicated and weird and emotional and obsessive and tightly controlled - i just never get bored. ♥

LoL... Emotional and obsessive... Now I'm scared of my teacher who kept reminding my friends and I to be the pillar of our country.... Haha...

Anyways, go you!

Beautifully written and a perfect finale to the series of fics I got to wake up to today. You've really inspired me to want to go and work on my writing, I just really ought to do uni stuff though.

I wonder if the people who dislike it, dislike it because it gets other authors quite so obsessively enthusiastic...

Well, holy fuck, that was amazing. Your characteristics as perfect as ever; Tezuka's slight reserve, his care; Ryoma. I could go on and feed your ego more cookies, but I think you already know just how talented you are, so... askfafakga;afka that was hot XDDD

aöskldföasdj ahahhahaha. your feedback is so entertaining! this is probably better than if you had "fed my ego cookies" - not that i object to ego cookies at all! i love feedback because i love to know what other people think about my writing, whether the view of the world i've tried to recreate for them is something they recognise and how it resonates for them (and whether it was hot, of course!). but this is enough cookie for me. i don't need to have more than one at a time. ;)

Mmm I wish I could give you a coherent review, but even as I re-read the fic my brain melts from all the love XDD I enjoyed feeding your ego cookies because it so obviously deserved it. I'm a firm believer in replying to a fic/art you enjoyed even if you don't have something constructive to say; just to give the author the appreciation they deserve.

And to be honest your fic was far beyond a simple "hot", but seriously; wow. Your Tezuka point of view was my personal favorite, since he seems to be a tough nut. ;D

öakljfdöaskd yes. tezuka is tough! i actually find him kind of a strain to write, although i can't imagine that i could love him more as a character. i don't really know why i keep getting ideas that involve his point of view. maybe it's because of his giant romantic streak. :)

jvdklz;wiosdjxzjkhfd oh lord. That. *let's out breath*

I loved how Ryoma is waiting and we think it's for tennis but it's not and then I loved Tezuka's fascination with wrists and the names and mostly just ♥♥ and cuddling.

I also love how you are able to take things like spin the bottle and getting snowed in at a cabin and somehow write it so perfectly that I'm left completely in awe and it's like the first time I've ever seen the ideas before.

:) thank you! this feedback is so great and i keep just reading it again and going *_* aöskldjföasdköf and i can't seem to come up with an intelligent reply.

i love waiting as a theme because it's so wistful and poignant and romantic, so it's probably a part of what i love about this pairing - the restraint and patience and certainty all wrapped up with angst.

and for the rest um, eek, thank you! again. <.< *blush* sometimes i just love clichés. they can be very powerful.

but he didn't know it would get THAT cold. :/ then he felt mildly guilty, so he opened his eyes to make the next door neighbour hand over the keys to his truck.
