I feel the urge to read this story every January. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It's full of great vivid imagery and creates a realistic little world. One of my favourite stories (fanfic or otherwise) ever!!

Original, page turning and well written! Can't wait to read the sequel.

Loved each chapter, and I loved your creativity. The most realistic Kagome and Sesshoumaru I've seen in a long while. They were very much in character throughout. Your story felt like it was set in real life. Well done! You have a real talent. Thank you for writing and sharing!

(I would suggest you combine the epilogue with this story to increase your word count, but that's up to you of course)

i waited a long time to read this story. i found it to be a wonderful, beautiful, and full of lemon-y goodness, gem. it was origninal and was so much fun to read. i like how sessho stayed the way he was, but admitted to the fact that what he was doing with kags was more that a fling. a man doesn't make love to a woman like that unless he feels something strong for her. i'm glad he finally told her the truth about what was on his mind when it came to their relationship. you should never lie to others(if you can help it), but NEVER lie to yourself. i loved this story. keep up the great writing. c'ya'

I really enjoyed this. There were parts where I wanted to strangle Sesshoumaru—oh, did I—but I like how it’s turned out. I’m glad to know here’s a sequel because I would hate to see their relationship end at the point where it is. Kudos in a great cliffhanger as well!

Yesssssss! Pissed off Sesshoumaru! Get ‘em!

Phew. Where is This Sesshoumaru when I’m having a crappy day. Just knows to pour wine? I’m dead. Lol

  “He’s an ogre. A demon. He grades papers like they killed his mother.” —this line had me in absolute stitches! Love this so far.

Wow

omfg!!!I love it!! I so freaking love it! So well structured and documented! <3 <3 

This was such an amazing, well fleshed out story, and I loved every minute spent reading this! With that being said..... PLEASE UPDATE WITH THE 3-SHOT STORY PLSPLSPLSPLS!!! That open ending was too cruel!! XD ty for creating such a lovely story! 

Whew... * thunderous applause * ... you are one of the writers on this site who set the bar ridiculously high for all other stories. This story was so savory. You are a phenomenal writer (clearly), but your dedication to beautiful detail, willingness to write with depth without superfluous content takes your work to a different level than most. I really loved your characterizations - Sessh / frustratingly aloof, cold as nails, but longing in his heart - sigh - so good. It was also great to have a Kagome who wasn’t acting like a halfwit, which always feels like such a disservice to women when written as such.  The angst was delicious - just right without being overdone. Simple + elegant - thank you! I truly hope you find continued inspiration to keep this trilogy going. 

I love this fic, thank you! ??

Excellent story! I enjoyed it very much and can't wait for your follow-ups.  Keep up the good work.

i thoroughly enjoyed your story. Everything about it from the originality to the detail and research that you added in to educate us, the readers. Brilliant! I cannot wait for the sequel!!

ahh such a great story! i havent read many modern aus like this but wow! i cant wait for the sesshomaru POV and the sequel! :)

Oh my dear...  I agree..  a kiss that isn't a kiss is just bad...  and a bad kiss is horrific.  

I couldn't sleep last night, I dunno if it was something else or the fact I couldn't stop reading this til the very end. I loved it, great open ending.

Dawww this whole fic was amazing! Thank you! I loved every moment of it and really felt like I grew with the characters :) I hope to read more of your work soon! Keep writing and stay happy :)

The premise behind this story was unique and enchanting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and cannot wait for part two! Thank you for sharing it with us!
