Reviews for A Familiar Set of the Shoulders
Binge Eater chapter 13 . 2/5/2017
Hey!
By now I am already very attached to this series of drabbles, I...I don't really read anything else about Bleach apart from when you update. Also feel very bad bc I only left a comment once here, and that's too little for how much I love what you write.

But it's kinda hard to tell what I like the most. Both in The Art of Decay and Stagnant I was completely amazed by the...the realism of everything. Every little sentence is like packed up with such realism, such tangible emotions and sensations that the only thing I could think was 'wth how does someone write like this? How do you do to be able to narrate something That real, that crude'.
The Art of Decay was very cruel, content wise. The chalky touch of everything, the waiting and wishing and wishing you don't care about someone who hurt you that much. It's all there and feels as if I stretched enough my arm, I would be able to touch it?

Then there's Stagnant, I think I liked this one even more. Here's that pure realism and realization I told you before.
I don't know why it feels so real, yeah...but it does and I even cried a little bit.
This maybe sounds exaggerate to you but it's like that...
All about that life and everything is actually still, barely moving even when we can't realize is something that will probably stay with me even after a long time. I can be sure I'll be thinking about that, or maybe it's because I've thought about it before. I don't know. Anyway I was so moved by that, and also surprised by how relatable it was to me.
And how Izuru only realizes or feels something just after it's already gone, that's very cruel too. I 'm like...in love with these two drabbles.

Idk what else could I tell you. Everything is flawless and makes me wish I could express myself better to let you know that!
Your characterization, whatever you choose to write about and the sadness of it all, the beauty in all of it, I couldn't love it more even if I wanted.
Please don't ever stop writing, you are really incredible at it!

The last two chapters were amazing. All of them are truly. I cannot express my admiration of this story. I have never seen anything like you writing style before. Despite having even the shortest of chapters it captures my attention and at the end it doesn't leave me hanging yearning for me. Each piece feels like a complete piece. I really enjoy that about these chapters. With your writing style imagery appears so naturally and effortlessly. That is something that most publish author's don't even achieve. You have a lot of talent and you could really go far with your writing.

Well I first saw some of the drabbles on tumblr, but then I read them on ao3 i think and somehow I ended up reading them here too.

Can I tell you something? I've never read something so beautiful, so in character, in this fandom until now. Maybe it's because I don't really search that much, but to me these drabbles are just wonderful!
I love the way you narrate the events and everything, I don't really know what to say...

The Rose/Izuru ones are ugh just ? So perfect, I lost it at 'He'll call it Sunsets. He'll call it Izuru." And then your descriptions of Momo, and you even made me ship Shuuhei and Nanao (there's any content about them and i'm in pain now, where am I going to find more?!)

I was thinking you were going to stop writing this series at the fifth chapter or so, I don't know why; I'm really happy you keep writing this tho, and I'm looking after to read more!

Please keep writing, not just this but everything, your narrative is just precious!
Also I hope at least some of this makes sense, I'm not very good with english, so sorry;;

I really want to cry...This chapter is so beautiful. The way Rose views Izuru is arousing and so sensual! "Izuru is literal art." Oh gosh, makes me blush. And the dialogue is great the way it is don't listen to that person...

Beautiful pieces so far, though I'm partial to this last update. I find these two fascinating together, and they have much to relate to. Shuuhei's thoughts in the final paragraph say it all really.

This is quite an interesting story. It is a nice read. However, it is a bit chunky in the dialogue. It could use some more imagery and description as well. The characterization is very good.

this is so beautiful, gosh, the dialogue and characters are so tender and meaningful...
