Nice story, fits in well with its predecessors. It felt very much like Hisao to put off breaking up for as long as he could, instead of just doing it up front as soon as he saw Shizune. Well, we all have our moments of cowardice, and it''s not an easy task. But I kept getting annoyed by Shizune's re...

That was lovely, what a fantastic thing to read over my morning coffee! The art is great, is it a Lap original? Yup! Thanks! Good. She deserves it. Hell yeah, if anyone deserves a btggf it's Misha! :-) Indeed. (er...hm.... "Big Tall Goth GirlFriend"?) I second Scroff’s comment, my toast and coffee ...

Chapter 12 ________________________ Given that Misha’s birthday party had been my idea, I had expected to have to organize it, but Shizune had taken over that task early on. You have enough to do with Student Council work , she’d said. I’ll take care of this. I was surprised that her quest for the ...

“One for Aiochan, one for Mirachan, one for Aiochan, one for Aiochan…” Her name is "Aoi". "Ai" would also be a suitable Japanese name if this is not supposed to be the sidecharacter from the VN, but "Aio" is not a name. Oops. Brain fart on my part. Fixed, thanks. [But perhaps a bit more awake and e...

Chapter 11 ________________________ Monday was a red letter day for Shizune in two different ways—it was finally Election Day in the morning, and after school, she was scheduled to get her finger splints off. Shizune, Misha, and I all missed the first class of the day as we went from classroom to c...

I have to admit, the shades are very well done. Teach me Senpai. Assuming you were being serious...it's all in layering. Shade values are painted in a dark brown (in this case) on a Multiply layer at 15-25% opacity, depending upon the piece. Highlights (in this case, untanned skin) are painted in w...

It occurred to me that folks keep saying that Miki isn't dark skinned, she's just tanned. And tanned implies tan lines. So...

Thanks to Feroux for beta reading & feedback! Chapter 10 ________________________ Monday morning Shizune went to the doctor’s for a checkup on her arm and hand. When she came back, she was sporting slimmer, removable splints on her fingers, which allowed her to take them off for cleaning and physica...

A lovely coda to a sweet story. I really like the notion of Kenji finally getting his shit together & growing up. Nice little lagniappe.

Thanks for the fun ride! An unlikely pairing, but you made it work.

Chapter 9 ________________________ I was awakened by a buzzing noise, and reached for my alarm clock, only to find carpet where my bedside stand should be. I opened my eyes to see Shizune’s room, from the perspective of the floor beside her bed. Oh, right. I’d had to move to the floor in the night,...

Chapter 8 Sorry for the delay, but this is a long one (~6400 words). Also, explicit sexual content warning . ________________________ The Friday after Hanako’s interview, Shizune and I were working late in the student council room. Misha had left earlier, pleading a history essay that was due soon....

Cute. What I find most interesting about pre-release fics is noting the details that were already in place—Lilly is prim and proper, Shizune is dictatorial, Misha is loud, etc—and the ones that weren't, such as their sexual orientations, Misha not being joined at the hip to Shizune, Misha & Hisao ho...

Thanks for the kind words & thoughtful analysis! I really appreciate it. Chapter 7 ________________________ I tried to bring up the idea of lessons with Mrs. Shibata again that evening, but Shizune shut me down even faster that time. Misha told me the day after that that she also tried to talk to Sh...

Gotta say, I'm with Scroff on this one. Misha must have really pissed off Lilly for her to suggest something so cruel. And Shizune is emotionally tone deaf enough to not realize how sad it is.

Chapter 6 ________________________ Swimming the next morning proved to be slightly less embarrassing than I’d anticipated. No one objected to me wearing a t-shirt in the pool, thank goodness. There were five other students at the pool that morning, including Molly from my class. The physical therap...
