This is gorgeous-painful and real.

gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. i'm an adult, (relatively) intellectually demanding fan of xxxholic and occasional fanfiction reader, and lemme tell ya - truly good quality writing like this is something i'm always looking for, and something that is almost impossible to find. thank you so much - please for the love of all that is holy, write more!

Wonderful characterisation. They really act so perfectly like in the series. You even have that slightly tragic but still hopeful undertone down to pat.

This is probably one of the best oneshots I've ever read.

You captured them so perfectly and it was just so fluffy and wonderful...oh man.

I really loved this!

This is amazing, what can I say. Very interesting to read, full of emotions, just perfect.

Thank you very much 3

Beautiful. So well written that you doesnt need to be a xxxHolic fan to truly enjoy this story. But like im a holic fan... just perfect.

Absolutely lovely. Evocative, textured, the pace was just perfect. One of the best pieces I've read on ffnet, and it reminds me why I bother to read here sometimes; gems like these.
