I really do love this story, it's very well done. I just can't help but wonder what would happen if Jiang decided he needed to talk to Hei in the middle of the night again, and ended up interrupting a police investigation or Hei's personal time with Misaki. I giggle a bit when I think about it.

hi, this is an amazing work and it’s amazing and i love it, thank you.
this is my third time rereading this, probably? mostly likely more to be honest. anyway i’ve always thought this fic depicted hei’s confrontation with his past really well and i can’t quite articulate it well but it just feels really real and just,, comforting? idk it’s really hard to word this. i’m just reviewing now to say that there’s always been this happy feeling i feel whenever grandmother is all planning the wedding and ready to welcome misaki to the family, and i’ve finally realized why. despite how seemingly sexist it is (or maybe it’s just culture difference i guess?), the difference between her planning to teach misaki how to cook and uncle questioning why she doesn’t know how to cook is that grandmother isn’t acting like because she’s female she should know how to cook, but because she’s female she should be taught to cook by her female relatives, and since misaki wasn’t taught that, grandmother has taken it upon herself to teach her as a family bonding type of thing, and i just love how sweet that is and how it’s subtle evidence that grandmother is fully heartedly welcoming her into the family
this fic isn’t what i usually read, which is more action alongside character development and exploration and trauma recovery that is the main theme of this, but i really love how hei comes to terms with his past and has a therapist and settles down basically in this series. i don’t exactly ship misaki/hei so i haven’t read through the entire series, but the few that i have read are amazing and they depict hei and his recovery so well and i love that so much
i also love how there’s this quiet contrast between hei, former contractor and assassin, and his cousin and all the members of section four, where hei takes their lack of understanding about contractors and the act of killing sensitively, and it’s really clear the difference between them who grew up in normal society, and him who grew up as an assassin. and also how only hei and misaki understand their relationship and everyone is left with even more questions and neither of them ever need to explain themselves because only they matter to their relationship. again i don’t really ship them, but you write them in a way that feels really natural
well i was GOING to post this after the second paragraph but it’s a little too late for that. in short, your fic is amazing and very realistic in character development and depiction and i love it for that. thank you very much for writing and posting this entire series and just contributing to the small fandom of darker than black overall

I must have read and re-read this story at least four or five times since it was completed, and I've enjoyed it just as much every time. Misaki and Hei's relationship puts a smile on my face, and I want to hug Hei's grandfather to bits.
Whenever I've re-read it, I'm always left wanting to read more DTB fics, and I wind up sad there isn't more of it.
'The Shifu' is one of my favourites (along with your other DTB stories), it's been nice comfort food for the soul in the current rather stressful times the world is going through.
Thank you for writing so many great DTB stories, I love (re)reading them all.

Ohhhhh wow Misaki, that's a loaded statement you're throwing out there right at the end...
Really like this, I'm always happy for Hei's grandfather to be in the picture, and seeing him interact with everyone at the station is really good :)

You enjoy torturing Hei with his family? Looks like you enjoy having Misaki getting unexpectedly pregnant too. Lol

Thank you so much! This has been a blast! I really love your work and I’m so very grateful you put out the last chapter. I’m so happy Hei got to spend time with his Grandpa~

Woaaah yes that ending! Nicely done, and an amazing fic. One of my tops of all time, for sure. Thank you!

I am so grateful for all these stories about Hei. Thank you for writing them! There is a bit of sadness that it is rather not much left to write (in the Office series at least) so even your little suggestion about next makes me smiling.
About this one - just before the last words I was kind of disappointed it's ending with no "big deal", there were so many issues that could make a big fuss with uncle or the attackers. Your way is surely more probable though aaand the very ending is a perfect ending for such family-themed story :D I'll be missing more of Heis family, like I would really like to know his grandpa!
Cheers and thank you again. The whole Shifu was a great rollercoaster of emotions :) it will be nice to read something original. How easily would it be availible worldwide? ;)

OMG! This is a cliffhanger. A beautiful one but it is because I want to read how Hei reacts to the news. Anyway, I can't wait for you to work on Sacrifices or any other story. My head cannon is that you are actually a best selling author pretending to be new to writing to live out your love for fan fiction. So because I love the way you write I am interested in your original works as well. You as well as another writer from this fandom have inspired me to write my own story of DTB but I post on Wattpad. Too nervous to post it here. Lol. Looking forward to more from you.
Oh and I can so see a little boy with dark blue eyes with brown hair and a little girl with black hair in pigtails with brown eyes. Just a "suggestion" for their future.

Thank you for writing this series! I really enjoyed reading it these few years and it’s been one of my favourite dtb fanfic series by far. One of the main reasons why I’ve come to enjoy this fandom and community so much is because of your fics. I really look forward to reading sacrifices!

AHAHAHAHA THAT LAST LINE!
I'm very proud and happy for you tsukichan. Crossing over to official work... if you know forthwrite, you can take pointers from her. She does both fandom and official works and also write fanfics of her stories. She also has merch and all, which deff supports the writing.
I hope we see more of Hei getting tortured with family bonding lol. It's fun, and I want his family and Misaki's dad to bond. Ironically, his uncle and her dad would get along because they don't want Misaki to work as a cop.
Thanks for writing.
