I have to say, this was some intense shit. You write beautifully, the detail was amazing, and the characterisation was so bloody perfect I almost cried. Great job.

You need to finish this. And though I don't ship this at all, the fact that Takano is hurting so bad, (and the fact that I was in a Ritsu mood while reading this) it hurts me. I want to see him get better, to find Ritsu again, to be with his lover once more, and have his lover love him back again. This almost made me cry, and I hate how much he's hurting. I'm on the verge of tears. You need to finish this. You need to reunite them, and rekindle their beautiful love. And, because I do feel bad for Takafumi, let him find that love he found in the movie, because he does deserve love as well. Please, please, please, please, please finish this. I love it so much, and I want to see Masamune happy again.

Wow, Tentai...
It's taken me a while to get to this piece, though in truth, if I'd known what I would find here I would have probably stayed away even longer. I'm not one who is comfortable experiencing strong feelings you know and this story of yours stirred a hell of a lot of them.
Talk about someone's writing becoming your personal canon. I have no idea how to even go about finishing "Fall" after reading this. You have done everything in this chapter so perfectly. Good fuck, my dear... you are a powerful writer. Powerful.
Yokozawa is truly one of my favorite characters and you have done him such justice. When the series first came out and all the fangirls we're hating on him for getting in the way of their darling Ritsu, it used to piss me off so much. I couldn't understand how they could be so blind to Yokozawa's character, or his strength. This was shown perfectly in the Trifecta special, the way Yokozawa handled Takano in the end, he is rough, but "princely." (I hate to use this term, but a better one evades me.)
Anyway, the way you spin this out is perfect. The fragments of conversation, the detail, the inner and outer workings of this story flow together seamlessly. Such a huge leap since your first fic, though even then the promise of your talent was always evident.
The way you write Yokozawa and Takano's coupling too, that's really pretty much how I imagined it myself. I couldn't imagine an exchange between them that wasn't reciprocal. I also envisioned them both taking each other and the same crushing conclusion when Takano would call out the wrong name.
And all the realistic details in terms of the sexual exchange... Little moments of touch, the technical aspects of how flesh fits into flesh... Damn.
To say that I love what you've done here would be an understatement and the throwing around of an expression that's way over used. So let me try and find another way to express what this writing of yours did...
It moved me.
This piece is going to haunt my thoughts for the rest of the day.
Fuck.
Good work, Tentai. Don't you dare stop writing.
