That was an excellent story. You write very well. I was a bit surprised at how quickly you had Sess and Inu make up, but I did the same thing. I haven't read your reviews, but I did read your intro to the epilogue. If a person is unable to pick up on the foreshadowing, I suspect that person has not spent a great many hours in books. I feel that you built a firm foundation for the relationship that Inu and Sess had in the epilogue. Perhaps your concept is simply so original to this site/genre/subcategory that some minds have difficulty embracing it. Personally, I liked it. Great job.

*grins brightly* I'm glad you put this back up. I like this, and I guess unlike some people reading this, I understood what happened and how it flowed together. I became really happy reading this and I can't wait for you to write more. I think your writing is just beautiful and I wish to see some more of it in the future. Beautiful ending, it was very good.

TTFN! Ta Ta For Now!

Honestly >.>
I hate reading het fanfics and I can kind of see where that flamer was coming from. Its a bit/very disappointing to follow a series for a while that focuses on one couple then in the last chapter to see that couple shattered. Especially if you were only reading it for that one couple. Compare the feeling with if you were reading a story involving inu/kago and its all het and fluffy with a little tension between him and sess then after following it and loving them for several months in the last chapter you read him dump her to go off and do hot yaoi with his brother.
I understand you disliked mpreg but why write about a couple being in love if you can only see their feelings as worthy of sexual release. They were willing to die for each other but not live together? Does that mean that the driving need to have children is more important then 'Love'? Does that invalidate the feelings a same sex couple has because they cannot have a child of their own blood to be heirs to their lives work? If you cannot see yaoi or gay relationships as being as good or equal to straight relationships why even write it? Why push yourself to do something that you obviously can't accept in your heart? Its a confusing thing to choose in my opinion.
But in your defense I still say a writer has a right to do what ever they want with there own story and use their imagination however they please. The fact that you had this story in the het category and the yaoi category at the same time led me to believe that you would write a separate ending for each category. The fact that you didn't leaves me more then a bit disappointed. Yes you're a good writer, Yes you wrote an amazing story, but next time put warnings or something so fans can know to avoid reading what they don't want to read.
Writing doesn't make you impervious to others opinions and If your going to do something like switch couples in the last chapter you should be prepared for your fans being upset and even hostile about it.

I love your story and think that it was great. I would like to get the epilogue from you if I can and I think you should ignore the flame. The story was set up as a threesome and if a person has a problem with that then they were not trully reading the story very well. This means that they should be ignored because they are just being BAKAS!!! Please repost or send me the epilogue I am dieing to find out what the true end you had intended is. Please!
Thanks!

Devoted Fan,

Just thought I'd say thanks for putting up the story and giving it the ending that it had. It was, in my opinion, actually very beautiful and realistic. I've never written here before and so I don't know much about flaming or anything, but I'm grateful that you still put the story up and ran it through to its conclusion. I felt that it was complete as a whole and I liked that.

I know it's kinda strange but I really loved this ending because I thought it extremely appropiate for Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's relationship as you told it. They're brothers, now. To my mind, that was the most important part of the story and the best part of it.

I'm glad you chose to finish this! The 'Epilogue' works. They're 'supposed' to stand alone in tone and point of view and yours does both quite nicely. Thank you!

Umm, but you did bend to the will of others. To not let them rules you would be to leave the epilogue and keep writing despite what they say. You're letting your actions be swayed by others. You're doing the opposite of what you intend.
