You have probably written the only fan fiction where I wish Kags got with Kouga for a bit either for a relationship or just a few more sexual encounters! Lol and this is coming from a long time Sess/kag fan. I really enjoy your story and I can't wait to see how you build more of their relationship!
hm... the scene with his description struck me to the core! the way you showed even his fangs, t sent shivers down my spine! compliments!
it is a matter of perception and belief, or maybe my passion for mythology and history, but i do not see youkai as biblical demons. strictly my opinion, everyone one is entailed to its own. they have animal spirits and are more animals and beats that demons that suck your soul. here for the first time, i felt him not as a youkai but literally demon and it scared me a little, honestly! the way you portray them is so i wouldn't say "real" cause they don't exist but the closest to reality. that's real talent!. kagome is human, enough said even if her power is still there. this is a fic that i always remember the plot even after a while and when the update comes i don't need to reread. thx for updating its amazing!
on another note, i do not see deep love in their future. i don't foresee the passion of that overwhelming, mind blowing emotion, just that they will grow comfortable with each other and just settle down. it's just my opinion, no offense. this doesn't mean it's bad cause it's not, on the contrary, is very unique. we have fics where Sesshoumaru is acting like a lovesick puppy (i may be guilty of the same, the hypocrite that i am!) attachment created based on life circumstances? is like a breath of fresh air! yes, something like that, but not deep passion and love. i don't see him changing himself for her, his core essence will stay the same "immutable and cold" (quote from my favourite love poem about Luceafarul a hyperyon god that fell in love with a human girl!) maybe she will but he, not sure. I am so eager to see more! i thank you for writing this and sharing with us! a deep bow toward your talent! i have no words to describe how amazing i find your writing! wishing you good luck! take care and have a good week ahead!
wow!!! that was so exciting to read!! what happens what happens??? *jumps up and down excitedly*
Jessi (Chapter 26) - Tue 25 Apr 2017
This is the first chapter I'm experiencing in serial form--the first one I had to wait a month for. I was lucky to have been able to binge the first 25 chapters since I found this so late. First, thank you for continuing to write in spite of all you are dealing with in the real world. It is appreciated and hopefully it brings you joy in these difficult times. Reading a single chapter is torture, but it is the same beautiful torture that the story itself is.
Savoring every word of this chapter did allow me to appreciate things that I might've rushed past. Somehow, her grieving for Inuyasha struck me more than it had before. I felt the tingle of her hope and then the sting of reality. I'll say again how much I love that you're exploring a storyline that we all knew was possible, but that few or no other fan fiction writers would touch. It's difficult to rip apart our beloved Inuyasha and Kagome, but it's so real and so well done. I already said all of that before...but I don't know...you just really nailed the emotions in this chapter.
I'll agree with another reviewer and say thank you for making her struggle with her powers. Anime itself can sometimes be annoying with the whole "OH LOOK! I instantly am insanely strong, capable, and in control," and you scaled back on that. I can't even foresee where you're going with it or how important it'll be for the overall plot, but I like it.
Loved her fight with Shippou! Well, loved is kind of weird to say. Just, again, well done! He went against her wishes, tried to give her a reality check, and (it seemed) got pretty annoyed himself by the end of it. It's good to see them having a range of interactions within their relationship because it would get dull if he just adored her and never challenged her or got agitated. I never thought about Shippou all that much so it's fun to see an exploration of his adult self and his relationship with his crush/mother figure. I hadn't ever thought of Kagome as his mother figure before this fic, either, but of course it makes sense. Lots of confusing emotions for poor Shippou to marinate in for 500 years.
Until next time!
