i love the angst you write!

i think my heart stopped for a moment at the end there, wow.
i live for angsty mayaka/satoshi fics
you have definitely delivered

Oh my god this was so super super super beautifully written, I loved all of it, every inch. My only complaint is that I never really got to understand Satoshi's feelings and intentions - it seemed just visible enough in everyone else, but him, so it left me kind of lost as to how this whole thing was supposed to feel ):

THIS WAS REEEAAALLLY GOOOODDDDDDDD THOUUUGGGHHHH. Totally mouthwatering imagery ("Her knuckles turn a watery, angry red, and then settle for a constant white." "Her eyes are a glass of water waiting to tip. Satoshi wants to drink her up, maybe.") and utterly perfect characterization and everything ever.

Thank you so much for this fic!

whoa. that was
that was wow
just wow
i don't even know how to explain it that was too good, to amazing, to emotional for words
you know, despite my ultimate love for oreki, i really sort of identify with satoshi.\
like i know i sound like a bad person for that, but when i finally came to understand his and mayaka's dynamics, not only did i fall head over heels for them, but i felt sympathy? sadness? a combination of both, or more like an understanding...i don't know but whatever it was, i received that same feeling from this fic. like it emotionally hits close to home though i've never been in such a situation.
just wow, i admit ,i'm still completely stunned my brains buzzing
and this line
[ He whistles all the way home anyway, even when his breath catches. ]
absolutely beautiful in so many ways

Wow, so beautiful. Love is painful. God, I really like this couple.

I CAN'T HANDLE THE FEELS I HAVE FOR THIS PAIRING.
I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP.
Lovely story.

HELP WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL FICS ABOUT THEM?

i - i - i'm sorry if i can't give you any coherent review at the moment. um, how about i show you which part of this fic that i really, really, reallyyyyyyyyyy like?

["How am I supposed to stop liking you when you won't let me?"
"I don't know how to stop doing that," he replies.]

AND

["Do you like me," Mayaka says, finally, after fifteen minutes of silence, "or not?"
"I—" he starts, and immediately regrets understanding that he doesn't know what to say next.]

OH MY GOD THESE TWO

i'm so sorry. and thank you. thank you.

Okay so um I read this on tumblr first and I fell in love with it, but I couldn't find it again, and I didn't think to check the FF archives. ;u; I'm so happy I found it again! kdjfhbvdgf It's so ridiculously beautiful.

crying, this is so perfect

how pretty. and kind of angsty-wistful at the same time.

it's refreshing to read too, since hyōka is such a light-hearted, grounded series. i've grown to love satoshi and mayaka's dynamics, and you captured it beautifully.

satoshi's a bit of a two-face here, isn't he? he has well-intentions, i suppose, but he's not above stringing mayaka along if that's what's comfortable for him, poor girl. hōtarō and eru's reactions were particularly nice too.

/on an unrelated note, i'm quite curious about the title.

faved c:

This is easy to love :) Melancholic and slightly angsty, maybe a little of growing up? Great piece of work; reminiscent of bitter chocolate (maybe?), bitter yet sweet

Beautifully written.

Wow, this was awesome! I really loved how you explored Satoshi's darker side without being too overt about it. I really liked Oreki's stuff in the background and how you linked the ending to the beginning. A very seamless read. Thank you!

Woah. Deep. Really deep story.
And good.

DON'T. This is gorgeous, like this is what I picture Satoshi and Mayaka's relationship as perfectly. He is so protective of her, but he doesn't reciprocate her feelings in the same way and it is so complicated and then Mayaka is angry at everyone and herself because she can't stop liking Satoshi? But she tries not to indulge herself with him and I thought you portrayed that so well in this fic! Loved a lot of phrases here, but especially 'and offers her the palms of his hands, raised high like a white flag'. AHHH. Perfect.

I loved how you portrayed Houtarou through Satoshi's eyes, you capture Satoshi's feelings for Houtarou, whatever they may be, so well. He takes in all the details in Houtarou and thinks constantly about him, which was something that was really apparent in the way Satoshi described Houtarou. His eyes, his silence, everything! And though Chitanda played a small part, I liked how you handled her character, the way she is when she's angry, it was really stunning okay. The atmosphere in this fic amazingly reflects Hyouka's, flawfree job here.
