This was incredibly beautiful. The slow build up to the last chapter was enthralling to me, I couldn't stop reading! The length was just right for this kind of thing. The depth of emotion and tenderness and care that went into every moment of this story was incredible. Even the smutty parts were touching, and the description of the trio's unorthodox relationship was sweet as sugar. Good job, I loved every word! 3

Hm... I'm iffy about the "first orgasm" part. One of the problems with rape and molestation, and a large reason for why it people feel so much shame about it and why cases are underreported, is that despite the unwillingness it can still feel disgustingly good.
And Ragyo strikes me as a... very... _thorough_ person.

I think she underestimates the Elite 4... although she might be on the dot about Gamagori.

"This was originally supposed to be something simple and mildly smutty. Geez."

Nonono it is VERY good this way. I was also expecting some simple and tasty smut but this is so much better honestly.

And you got me wanting a massage really badly all of a sudden bc I'm afraid I've stocked up on bad juju.

I apologize for my evil twin's rude behavior. They recently found out the internet existed and discovered groups of people they share things in common with. So one liberal says something stupid, well then they're all stupid. Confirmation bias at its finest. Just look at poor Lovely #2, throwing political leanings and website names around like insults tossed about in highschool. Tsk tsk.

On a more serious note, this was a beautiful work. I don't have much more to add that hasn't already been stated, but I will say I love how you included the consent. All throughout your chapters, you have shown that Satsuki considers consent to be very important, since it was something that had been taken from her before. Her fear of becoming like her mother, of perhaps crossing a line with Mako, dealing with the traumatizing memories... I think you handled it all wonderfully, considering what Satsuki has been through. I wish I could be more eloquent but I'll just be lazy and say I second all the positives I've read from everyone else in the comments.

Thank you for this contribution. I hope you'll write more works in the future!

"Teenage-liberal-consent-loving-Tumblrite" Lovely signing out!

I made an account just to give my thanks for this incredibly intimate and fulfilling story.

This honestly is the one and only fanfiction I've read in its entirety. I love Kill La Kill so much but I'm not that into fanfiction, as most of them that I've read, I could not stomach. Many of them were too slow, too shallow, or just simply poorly written.

But this... This truly took the cake and ate it.

From the first chapter, I wasn't gripped and dragged in. Rather, I was gently welcomed in, given a cup of tea, and invited to chat a while.

Then it lovingly encouraged me to stay, as if plying me with a lovely dinner and some sweets after.

And then it took me into its chambers for the night and held me close in its warm touch until morning. I left, greatly satisfied and blessed to have such an encounter.

I returned a few years later to remind myself just why I found it so endearing, and once again I am absolutely, thoroughly, and all-around fulfilled. I'm so glad I returned to it when I did, right at the time where I forget what happens in the story, but I am still aware of the premise, so it's just as satisfying to read for a second time.

I don't know if this review will be seen by the author, but damn it, I don't care. I love this work, and I will state it regardless.

I hope to one day find another gem such as this.

Well... I wanted something more between Ryuuko and Satsuki to be honest...

Why, yes! I AM one sick individual! :P

Now I know this is supposed to be smut but it's too good to simply call it that... this story has been so much more... such a wonderful build up, the description of how Satsuki felt and how hard it was for her and how Mako slowly tore away her fears and inhibitions regarding intimacy... just beautiful!

I still wish Ryuuko had more of a hand in all this though. I imagine Satsuki would trust her quicker knowing how much they'd shared while being apart all their lives till now... Anyway, mild complaint aside, absolutely loved this! Just wish I had better words in my vocabulary to do justice in a review... humble apologies and a sincere thanks for writing this magnificent work of art!

Good choice...
I can't believe how good this is! Just wow!

That last line summed it up perfectly! Mako is a genius and her devotion is on an ultra-super-human level! Honestly, she puts dogs to shame... :P

Just adding this review to increase the count, got nothing to say that I haven't said already... XD

I smell something really delicious! Oh, it's probably just this chapter that was so well done.
And HOT!

Holy well written chapters Batman! That was amazing! Just... no more words would do justice... so...
*bows*
Thank you for this!

Damn, I'm getting to the point of craving a massage now... lol
Anyway, another wonderful chapter, still too little Ryuuko which is understandable since Mako always was the talkative one... I'd like one instance where Mako falls asleep at the drop of a hat leaving the sisters to talk. I'd love to read how Ryuuko would try to help her 'nee-san.

That was really powerful and so well done... screw simple and smutty, this is where it's at! XD Wonderful job yet again!
Also, reading this chapter made me want to get a massage... :P
