Just beautiful

the depth to this is really awesome - i don't even know how to describe it, but it's like there're layers of stories piled atop each other, and i can only make out a few. :)

Aw, how cute!

Shay:)

This is going to my faves.

So, who's the guy Rukia's been waiting for? Kaien?

Ooh, that bit where Renji lists the place she should be kissed - niice. Sexy without being too creepy, haha. This is an AU, but I can definitely see it actually happening. It fits the both of them perfectly. Lol at Hisagi and inappropriate signage.

So, looks like I've reached the end of your Bleach fics. There are two reasons I chose to read this one last: 1) it was last on your stories list when ordered alphabetically by category, and 2) I read the summary when I first went through your profile over a week ago and I instantly fell in love, so I thought, "That's good; save the best for last." Since then, I've reread this summary at least once a day, and I can now recite it off by heart. At first, I thought it was just because it was really, really sweet, but then I realised, it rhymes, and it has a nice, quiet rhythm to it. I'm pretty sure this summary is one that's going to be sticking with me for quite a while.

Okay, that's enough about the summary - but, I'm almost tempted to say that it's better than the actual story. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the story, too; it's just... the summary! I've read a lot of summaries on this site, but none of them have had nearly the same impact on me as yours has. Okay, I'll stop now, honest.

But really, I adore this story. There's so much I love about it, words wouldn't be able to do it justice. It was wonderfully put together, and beautifully written, as I've come to expect from you. You are seriously one of my favourite authors of all time. I love your style, so simplistic but deep and emotive and, and - I'm running out of vocabulary.

Thank you, for all the wonderful reading material. I applaud your brilliance.

Take care, now, and I wish you the best in whatever you do. :)

aww... this is nice :)

Normally I don't like stories that aren't plausible for the storie line (ie Renji waiting tables or say Ichigo as a lawyer) but I really enjoyed this. It was really well written. I like your style.

Loved this.

Renji's a real dreamer, isn't he? But he's spot on.

It might have been a long time since you wrote this, but I just have to say that this ficlet just screams of Renji. I love the dork comment. Thank you for having posted this.

That made me really sad. ( Very well written though.

(It's hard for me to imagine Renji serving...hahahah)

not much to say about it, but i like it.

AW! This is so sweet! Love form a far that then gets close up! :)

Heartbreakingly sweet - word choice and pacing are superb. Love the ending and the implied Kaien relationship.

i wish i had words to describe how much i enjoyed this piece. Instead, i'll tell you a very short story. I have about five more hours before i have to be awake for work tomorow morning, subtracting from that the amount of time it will take to fall asleep. I should have turned off my computer two hours ago, but instead have been reading, and (wait for it) re reading your Bleach stories.

Could you please not write so damn well? Some of us have to get some sleep.
