great job for this story

This fic is super uber cute! Love Sano and Megu.. Aww. Great job!

That was great! Just the right amount of fluff in certain spots to make it awesome!

Aww, I really enjoyed the story yay for M/S!

Very sweet _ I still maintain that you're a very mature writer- you write as though you've had so much experience in life, and moreover, actually pull it off.

You're also getting really good at including lots of details without letting them overpower the story.

Thank you for this epilogue. I hope you will write a wonderful fic again.

Oh dear, such a sweet story. I'm very sorry to say I hadn't started reading this earlier, however, I did have the honor of getting to read it from start to finish. I like this story in that you started out with a fresh idea and also tried to keep it to the Meiji RuroKen story line of ideas. It was no bother to me that the story was AU tot eh Jinchuu arc, after all you were good enough to forewarn us about that in the first chapter. This story may not have played well to manga, but a avid fan of the anime could easily sneak this right in – especially with conveniently placed references to Sayo and such.

As I said, the story idea felt relatively fresh – always appreciated in the pool that is Rurouni Kenshin fan fiction. Also, you finished the bugger, something that is appreciated by we readers on I will agree, there was some OCC-ness to your characters at points, but the way you see your characters was carried all the way though the story. You didn't change your perceptions of their actions midway through the fic, making slight OCC not so much of an issue. I was particularly fond of the awkward-yet-touching moments described from Sano's perspective in this story. I.e., his giving the flowers to Megumi while at the quarantine center. I found that scene very touching. I was also fond of the awkward confrontation with young Sayo.

As for critiques (as we authors always have room for improvement if someone is willing to offer ideas, ne?). I'm not a person for grammar and spelling things – not my business. I'm more into story line and plot devices. My critique for this story would really be a lack of detail in places. There were places where the story line very much – jumped – in a way I found a bit discordant. For example, we jump from the scenes in the sick village with the adorable little boy to a very sudden “several weeks later the world is in perfect order and they leave.” Perhaps its me, but I could have used some filler – a touching moment with the boy? A moment with Sayo apologizing to Sano for her abruptness? A thrill of seeing the villagers generally on the mend with the medication available? I don't know. I realize your focus was on the romance, but I was left with weird questions in places on account of this.

What I can say is that I could really see your writing style mature and become far more fluid through the course of this story. The sensation at the beginning was of an author unsure of herself. As we approached the end though, even with your weariness of the story, I could see you taking far more confident steps in how you handled character interactions, dialog, and prose. Well done on the improvements!

Also, the end of the story was quite sweet, I could just imagine the fan art for Sano cuddling his small family ;-) Thank you so much for sharing with us.

What a pleasent surprise! I loved this fic so very, very much. Kind of sad it's over. Can't wait for you to write some more Sano/Megumi stories

Good epilogue, especially after such a long wait.

*GASPS!* You wrote more! And it's so sweet! I can't say enough how much I love this pairing and you write Sano/Megumi very well. I was very happy to read another chapter of this story. Does anything come after an epilogue? Oh yeah- the Sequel! *hint, hint* Just kidding. :) Thanks again for writing more of this story. Take care!

Kyaa very cute, and glad you made the epilouge

You did an excellent job. But next time, I want to read your new SxM fiction. Thank you very much.

Great job!
