I half expected a large bird of prey to come swooping in and grabbing the lizard after having its life restored.
Dross, it took me the whole of last night, and this morning (even tried to catch a few chapters with the few minutes I had before and after a yoga session, in the the studio), but I finished all 700+ chapters of this heart-wrenching story! You've completely got me on a hook with all the feeeeeeels <3
I'm ashamed to say that I never gave your story a chance simply because it was a Drabble fic, but never again! You've converted me.
Of course, I loved every moment of it - the angst, the deaths, the grieving, the sadness, the reluctance and acceptance of emotions, the happiness, how BOTH characters slowly unraveled and fell apart emotionally, and had to build themselves up again, together. As a reader, it was an emotional roller coaster!
But it was the smaller moments that got to me - how Sesshoumaru started smiling more, the note passing between them, 'friends being honest' moments, the mokomoko cuddles, the apples and persimmons, the miscarriages, the acceptance of the imperfections of their relationship (ironically, that's why I find their relationship perfect).
And the one scene that gave me 1000% feels - Ah-Un leaving the stables to greet them when they returned. I don't know why exactly, maybe it's simply because Ah-Un was the other surviving character from the original story or maybe there's more to it emotionally I haven't figured out yet. When they escaped the stables to meet Sesshoumaru and Kagome, my heart sank for all three of them but it was a joyful kind of sorrow, and it put me to tears <3
Thank you for this amazing piece of work!

My first time with the "drabble" experience but, GREAT story line here. I think I (bashfully admit) that I smiled at his reactions as well. Thank you!
Souta would be me. I love this chapter so much. Her Mom is so calm.

I was absolutely blown away by this story. I've been going through a rough period. . . and some days are worse than others. But reading this story with my favorite pairing, and seeing them in a not so perfect world, making mistakes, and suffering like we all sometimes do, gave me real comfort. I was able to feel their hurt and frustrations as my own, and it gave me a healthy outlet in which to let go of some baggage. Thank you for writing this.
Chap 615.
And that's all A-Un has to say on the matter.

Wow, what an amazing story! I haven't felt that emotional from reading in a long time. Now off to start reading the sequel!
Wait. Familiar? clawed fingers? Does inuyasha come back? I've just started re-reading the whole story before starting the sequel and now I'm really confused. The keh in the last chapter also adds to that. HOLY S**T. Does he come back?
Awww...sniffles!
Aww...another beautiful chapter.
What a sweet interval for them. But sad memories too. I can imagine there will be many of those. I like that he had Inuyasha last fire rat armor refitted for her.
That was very sad to think that he might have survived if he hadn't turned back to his human form. I like that they are both mourning him.
Oh that was wicked funny! He does have a sense of humor...it's just scarier than most.
These last chapters have been one heck of a roller coaster of a ride. Both of their levels of emotion have been hard for them to work through. I really like Chiyo through all of this. She is a very wise woman. Thanks for these amazing chapters.
Ahhh...that was a sweet visual. Even dragons need to have their hearts healed.
Now you have Chiyo mad at you! And she changed your diapers! LMBO!
Oh! Dude! You are so toast! The hair? Really? Great chapter!
Beautiful. Sweet and sad.
