So, I’ve literally opened a document to take notes on what I love about this as I read so I don’t forget anything, so please excuse any incoherent drivel as I gush and give you my play-by-play:
I still love Sadness. So attached to him more than the other emotions. And I love the little details you gave him, like his chapped lips. It’s just…ugh. I can’t even. So perfect to see this element of the Killing Perfection made imperfect in sweet, memorable ways. And I love the quiet way that Sadness is affectionate.
Lust never fails to bring a smile.
“But…for what it’s worth, I’d let you hold my baby.” DEAD, MYTH. DEAD.
Discipline and Sloth giving Envy crap for his plan…bahahahaha!
Her goodbye to Fear was perfect.
Love makes me giggle like a madwoman.
Once Kagome is back and she and Sesshoumaru start talking, it was really nice to see how the awkwardness melted away and acceptance of everything slipped in. I really liked how once that first barrier was breached, we started to see the same comfort she had with the other emotions transfer over to how she and Sesshoumaru interacted.
Ear metaphor…dead again.
Kagome, when they finally get to be together talking about how she wants to be the only one to ever see the varying expressions on his face...too sweet.
I love how you dragged remnants of the emotions into present-day Sesshoumaru. Esp. seeing Sloth reflected on him.
SESSHOUMARU SMOKING A PIPE…that is all.
Kagome’s realizing of herself within the context of emotions as she discussed Sadness and Fear with Sesshoumaru was outstanding. I really, really love how you draw attention to her imperfections here and more importantly that she is aware of them. Too often Kagome is made perfect in fanfiction, and it’s very nice and much more realistic to witness the acknowledgment of faults as shown here.
*runs around the room screaming* - you know why, Myth. You know why. (I heart you!)
Realizing where Fantasy’s mansion came from...PERFECT.
The symbolism of Kagome’s self-esteem and the theatre mask is very astute. Loved that. And then how Sesshoumaru decides to fix her self-esteem? So perfectly priceless. Gotta love him letting his self-confidence out to meet hers and see to it. I loved Kagome’s reaction to the realization of what happened and Sesshoumaru’s perpetual satisfaction with himself over how he handled things. Totally laughed. It was perfect.
And the ending: Sleep-deprived. Hahahaha! Love that so much!
Wonderful fic, Myth. I’ve enjoyed this so much, and while I’m sad to see it end, this last chapter really wrapped things up perfectly. Thank you for such an enjoyable read. It’s been an immense bright spot in all the craziness going on in the world to have these updates to look forward to. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next! Muah!
Koree (Chapter 16) - Fri 17 Apr 2020
Wooooooooow I defiantly didn't see that coming , it completely slipped my mind that " fear " was missing throughout the whole story & it didn't even pop up in my head as a emotion . Amazing chap can't wait to see what Sesshomaru does with this new information
Nox (Chapter 16) - Fri 10 Apr 2020
Hi Mythica, your story has been a fun romp throughout. I adore reading how the many sides of Sesshomaru's character come through. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. Keep well.
OMFG! she did it! wow! so... all this time Repression was Fear? that was a big plot twist. I enjoyed very much this chapter, you did an awesome job.
