Susie,
Holy hell! What a story. Seriously this should be sent to Takahashi.
This was an incredibly poignant and moving story. The sorrow underlying the heat was genuinely heartfelt and moving.
Sesshomaru’s arc felt so transformative. Not sure if it is the pandemic reflections and all but the idea of him existing in power and finally coming around to learn to actually live with fallibility was something so touching and easily relatable to. I felt something in that. Something honest, raw and touching.
I really connected with this story, you are a hell of a writer. The characters development, flaws, fights, lust to love was so well crafted and so incredibly built.
His struggle, her quiet shame at what she did. His becoming human and what that meant to the deeper levels of his demonic instincts, it was just so incredibly beautiful.
I really mean it. I do believe that you should send this story to Takahashi somehow.
She would be proud of what you did here.
Please try to self publish this book. As even though people may not know of Inuyasha I do believe with a prologue that this can be something that others can tap into. Your writing deserves to be read by larger audiences.
You handle character developments flawlessly and with flaw. That is such a natural skill and a hard won study in craft.
You had me up reading into the wee hours of the night. I am still recovering from my sleep deprived reading jaunts.
Well done. I cannot wait to let this sit and re-read this story again in the future. Look forward to reading your other works.
Also if you have not already, would love to hear your thoughts on another fan fiction piece - A Mere Digression by Elle6778. A lot of heat but ultimately another interesting and authentic character arc for sesshomaru and Kagome.
Not sure if you write stories in response to others but would love to see what you thought of that story and what you could possibly do in response or build upon this somehow.
I can't remember if I read this story many years ago or not but reading it again I have to say it's beyond excellent. It had all the makings of a great story it was a love action and adventure drama romance you name it. You wrote a really great piece here and you should be proud of it.
That was one helluva rollercoaster ride.
I can't... I have no words! This fic has seriously taken forever for me to read, and not just because I'm a slow reader! Very well done! I hope i get to read more in the future!
I absolutely love your story! I was so elated when you began updating again! It is definitely beautifully written and I really love your character's portrayal! Hands down one of my favorite, but I love all your works!!! Hope 2021 is better than 2020! Stay safe!

O M G.... I started reading this before you finished, when you Only had 15 chapters up and I was riveted, and sad that it wasn't complete. I come back on the 29th of December to see a incomparable amount of chapters waiting to be read and I was giddy!!! What I wasn't prepared for was the depth you took your story. At some point it felt strained And lacked flow and I seriously thought of stopping, but I when I caught up to your "deep in COVID lockdown" chapters I was hooked, bad. I actually have spent the last three days ignoring as much work and family obligations (a husband and 7 yr old boy) as I possibly could to read this epic fanfiction you have so loving wraught from your mind. 2020 was indeed a shit show but it was a fuel for artists that collectively we haven't had for a long time. It forced us all to slow down and as a fellow creative it allowed us that time to think and create. I for one am forever appreciative of this story you have toiled to create for us. I also heartily appreciate the smut and lemony goodness that you entwined throughout it all.
Thank you. From one humble artist to another.
may 2021's Odds forever be in our favor. However that might play out to be.

Holy S***. I have never been so EXHAUSTED or tortured, or unfulfilled and then completely SATISFIED in one story. AND it has never taken me 4 days to finish a fanfic. Your Sesshoumaru in this story has been the most completely believable human and then recovered youkai I have ever read and I am so glad that I stumbled on your story. I love the torture, the emotions. I thought you did an excellent job at keeping them in character and exploring all the ugly parts of being Kagome the human and Sesshoumaru the temporary human. I can't even tell you how much. Completely satisfying. Completely. I hope that you've written other stories because I can't wait to read them. I'm glad I stumbled onto your story just this week because it looks like it's taken several years to complete it and I only read complete stories.
Thank you again for all your dedication, time, and creativity that went into this. Of course, I am completely enamored with the pairing and have been for years and I wish this was in book form so I could just read it at my pleasure in a book. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I apologize for not having written reviews for each chapter but I could stop reading chapters. I hope you have a wonderful year and more time to write.
Thank you,
I swear this Kagome is an idiot

I loved your story! Thank you for sharing!
I think it's rather interesting that the author made Sesshomaru stop on account of the guilt he felt towards his brother; instead of his thoughts towards Kagome. That's different, I enjoyed that tidbit.
Carlyn (Chapter 35) - Thu 31 Dec 2020
That was so cute!!!!!!
Though this is really well written it drones on far too much. We see one statement from the characters then we get a whole paragraph basically describing the meaning of what's been said. I'm slightly over exaggerating, but it's really starting to feel like that. It's not very concise. Even though it's only been a few days in the story it feels like months. I really hope it's balanced later on, otherwise the end will definitely feel rushed.
Carlyn (Chapter 33) - Thu 31 Dec 2020
Ugh Sesshomaru is so stubborn!!! Lol
Carlyn (Chapter 31) - Wed 30 Dec 2020
Well, at least he hasn't totally turned against Kagome.
Carlyn (Chapter 30) - Wed 30 Dec 2020
Jesus, that's a tough spot to be in with Sesshomaru. On one hand, she didn't tell him right away because she rightfully feared for her life. Once they began getting closer and closer I'd imagine she feared both his wrath and losing him, at least emotionally, until all that was left was this lingering guilt for her deceit with her blooming love for him. On the other hand, the fact that she deceived him in the first place and continued to do so means they've built their relationship in a lie of sorts. That will undoubtedly be unsettling for him knowing she knew he blamed himself this whole time. That's really rough.
Carlyn (Chapter 25) - Wed 30 Dec 2020
I really liked the way you ended this chapter. I'm curious to see what is going to take for Sesshomaru to pull his head outta his butt. Lol
Summer (Chapter 36) - Thu 24 Dec 2020
Definitely a different style of story that what I usually read, but glad I stuck with it! It was really enjoyable, great story!
