Another fine work from Sharp-O, which is no surprise, but a welcome addition. This was most excellent, the KS world needs more gay stories. :D The fact that it's focused on Hisao makes it even better. It feels like it's expanding on your SS story for me, which I love. Also, I adored the idea of Hana...

"A wretched soul, bruised with adversity." A particularly ironic epigraph, given how easily hemophiliacs (Haru) bruise. Shakespeare, btw. :-) (Okay, yes, I had to look it up. I'm not Ritsu...) (As I warned you, I'm lousy at analysis & deep thinking about stories, so all I really have ...

Epilogue --- Shiina looked through the shoe rack in the entryway of the apartment a second time, trying to find her shoes. “Miwako? Have you seen my black flats?” she called down the hall. When there was no answer, she shook her head at her mistake. Right, she’s doing overtime this week, with that ...

For the next several days, at around seven in the evening, Shiina received a text message from Shizune. Deleting the messages unread became easier with repetition, but she was surprised when they stopped coming after only five days. That’s a relief , she thought to herself. Trying to convince hersel...

Kasumi Miyata turned out to look like what Shiina had assumed her grandmother would look like—short and plump and full of smiles. “You can call me Grandmother Kasumi,” she said as they introduced themselves. “And you might as well call me Grandmother Aina, so we know which grandmother you’re talking...

Thanks, as always, to Feurox, for reading and suggestions and making me think about what I'm writing. What you're about to read is a much better story thanks to him. Thanks to Naryzhud (NoticeMeOppai) for additional proofreading and feedback. Thanks to Zee McZed for still more proofreading, and for ...

First off, there isn’t a doctor (or friend) in the world who would lead off with “She died,” unless they’re a sadist who hates the person they’re talking to. That’s something that comes up in conversation later on, while filling in the details. That kind of opening just comes off like a cheap shot t...

God. Damn. Wow. Just… Wow. No tears (sorry!), but definitely an aching heart. I’ve always been in awe of your writing, but I truly think this is one of the best, if not the best, stories you’ve written. I am humbled and amazed to think that I might have had even a little bit to do with the creation ...

Thanks for your comments! Sorry I’ve not responded sooner; a broken wrist has slowed my writing considerably… I’m afraid I am a fan of one-liner chapter closers, so they’r here to stay :P As to the scent thing, yeah, I noticed that too myself on rereading. Shoulda dialed that back a bit. So very gla...

Well, those kinds of negatives I can live with. I've got a couple of other stories about Hanako & Rin in my WIP pile, hopefully will finish them Someday™.

Thank you for your kind & thoughtful words!

Thanks for the read, and taking the time for such in-depth feedback. It's readers like you that really keep me motivated! I confess I probably see more flaws with this story than my readers do—it was definitely a journeyman work (along with Home ), and there is much I would also change about it wer...

FWIW, this is still available on AO3, though you do need an account to read it.

That...was like being off my meds. You capture the Depression mood/mindset very well. I'm glad I read it, but I'm not sure I'll ever re-read it, it hits too close to home. The epilogue kinda came out of left field; not sure it's really necessary for this piece. Feels like it belongs to some other wo...

This one's for XPND.Dev — Hope it amuses!
