Is this payback for the Emi stuff? Because now you're making me feel ashamed of posting two status updates myself over the past couple of weeks... :oops:

But, seriously, it's always good to hear that progress is being made on this story :D.
Rin is orthogonal to everything.
Stuff I've written: Developments, a continuation of Lilly's (bad? neutral?) ending - COMPLETE!

That always amazes me. I hope it continues to be after the next update.
Well I'm a sucker for stories that aren't from Hisao's perspective(and bonus points if it's a girl), as well as AU stories, and this is a well written story that does both those things. Not to mention I like gxg(as long as it's a well written romance, which I'm sure this will be), so you basically combined a bunch of stuff I like into one story.

Even despite AntonSlavic's listed preferences, Mean Time to Breakdown is my favorite. It was one of the things that convinced me to get into a writing habit after a long time of hesitation, and I've enjoyed every moment of it since. It challenged me as a reader and presented a standard as a writer.

So, thank you, Leaty.

While other fics had me reaching for a metaphorical box of tissues or popcorn, MttB had me reaching for a real copy of The Little, Brown Handbook and a dictionary. As an aspiring pseudo-route writer myself, I find these far sweeter confections. (Sable has since become one of my favorite words, and I sneak it in where I can.)

The previous chapter link goes... to the start of the story. I was meaning to reread it all anyway, but is this really only chapter two?

That was some update! It made my emotions go all over the place. At first I was laughing(literally) at the hair styling scene, than I was intrigued by the Shizune and Misha conversations(it seems like Misha has a crush on Iwanako :) ), then I was annoyed at her during her argument with Nurse(I was completely on his side, and cynicism annoys me even when it makes sense), and then I was back to having fun during her conversation with Momomi(I actually laughed again). Overall really enjoyed it. I just hope Iwanako's cynicism lessens, because like I said, cynicism annoys me. Always has.

Edit: Can't believe I forgot to mention the Rin encounter. That was hilarious! Also, you wrote Rin very well I thought.

I don't really know how much you check your Fanfaction.net messages so I though I would mention it here.

Extraordinary Rendition, Blood Pressure and 2 Become 1 have some pretty big formatting problems on the fanfiction site. I don't really know how to explain it but it's pretty strange.

Anyways, great update. I was worth the wait! Hope you are recovering well from the surgery!

:D
S-Class Wizard. Emi is my waifu.
