Leighna07 chapter 55 . 10/10 I really like the wisdom you partake in your story. It made sense to this story and in reality. Kudos! |
StellarMage99 chapter 70 . 8/1 This story is just...wow. I thought I had already reviewed for this but then I checked and I haven't. And I can see why, there is just so much to talk about in this story. Too much, that I probably won't be able to touch upon a fraction of it in this review alone. I read this story years ago, and re-read it last month, and a few days ago was pleasantly surprised to see this chapter up. I am so happy! Thank you for sharing! You are so inspirational, this story is just so well written and you are doing your best to finish it in a well written manner, whereas many other people would have given up. I love how summer ended, and I can't wait for the other seasons. This story really delves into each character and their relationships in a much deeper level. Yuki feeling guilty about how he treated Ayame, and how every character interacts with each other is just amazing. I must say I was surprised about Yuki's legs, I hope this is explored more so we can see how this impacts his life. I also wonder how Tohru will react, if she will go against Akito and see Yuki or if she will do as Akito says. I'm looking forward to Kyo and Yuki confronting each other, but I'm sure for now they have much more important things to worry about. I wonder where the zodiac members will hide, if they will all hide in the same place and have a secret meeting place, and how all this will be resolved. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the Sohma family turns against the zodiac. I wonder what is happening with Akito and Yuki's bond, how they affect each other with Akito being in a coma. I wonder if Yuki falls back into a coma, if Akito will wake up. Poor Yuki had so much taken from him, I wonder if Kyo will every realize that he isn't the only one who suffered. It looks like in this chapter he is slowly realizing it. I also don't think we ever saw what Yuki's gift for Tohru was...but I could be wrong. I also wonder if another reason Akito treated Yuki horribly while their children aside from the reason stated in the manga, was if Akito had a vision of Yuki getting captured and tortured by the family or outsiders. But this could be me just looking too deep into it. I wonder how this event will affect their relationships. Thank so you much for writing this story and trying your best to write out the rest! This story truly expands the world of fruits basket. |
Aubergine 28 chapter 70 . 5/16 I'm re-reading all of my favorite epic fics during quarantine and this one was a must to return to! I found myself staying up till all hours, unable to 'put it down' just like I was in high school again. I was reminded that what I loved so much about this fic was the way it really dug into the curse with so much creativity and imagination-paired with a really complex look at the family dynamics. Would be thrilled to see you return to this of course, but even as a WIP this is SUCH a rewarding read that really raised the bar for fic in this fandom. Hope you and yours are all healthy and doing well! |
Admiral T. DeVanto chapter 8 . 3/24 I like the idea of Yuki playing the piano. It seems to go with his princely character. Not to mention, his gentle fingertips lightly playing the keys of a piano compliment who he is as a person; someone who is gentle and conveys their emotions without words but by other means. Someone who escapes into a kinder world where their actions resonate through them with music and hard work. |
Admiral T. DeVanto chapter 7 . 3/23 I am re-reading this story, and I have to say that I like the direction you are going with Yuki and Akito's relationship. For some reason, the moment when Yuki makes that small trip across the glass covered floor to get to Akito stands out to me. It always has. Yuki is willing to hurt himself even for Akito, to ensure that she does not get hurt even as she also tries to make the small trip to get to him. Yuki still sees Akito differently despite the obvious fear he has for her. The fact that Akito is desperate for Yuki's presence, how she curled into him, was a nice display that she needs him, but does not know how to express it without hurting him. It's an interesting relationship you are exploring, and I like how you are playing off on the 'god' and 'rat' dynamic. |
hungryjelly chapter 70 . 12/22/2019 I had read your story 10 years ago, everything about your stories have fascinated me. Here I am 10 years later and I am still fell in love with your storytelling. I happened to relogin to my ID, and was reading the fics that I used to downloaded and added as my favourites. The way you gave lives to each characters and the way you make the plots much more interesting with more depths and insights than the original manga. I was a bit dissapointed with how the manga ended with focusing on romance, it lacks the complexity about the Sohma family traditions, political drama with the Boards within the infamous family business, and the importance of the bonds between the God and the zodiacs and how it affect the Sohma family. All these I found in your stories. And when I saw you have checked in during November, it gave me hopes that perhaps I can wish for another updates soon in the near future. I wish to see the further story development with Akito passing away, how the Zodiacs deal with their bond without their God, Yuki being the next clan head, the power struggle between the new clad head and the Boards, how Kyo moves on with his Father and his incoming "punishment". Thanks for giving me a chance to read this greatest story from you |
Cyber Rogue chapter 70 . 3/27/2018 I have been reading this story for almost a year, and it was a slow and steady process as I tried to make the time to read it properly. As I hurried to try and reach the ending to find out what happens, I was also upset that I finally came to the end, because I want more! I really love your take on Yuki's and Akito's relationship. I think it is a unique twist, and I always look forward to their precious scenes together. That one scene that you had where Yuki boldly declared that Akito would be dead to him in a short time really got to me, because I enjoyed seeing their relationship mend, only to be destroyed with a few words. But, I am glad that it seemed to be on the mend in a way as they both recover. Most stories usually depict Akito as the main villain with no heart, and while you have shown her to have no heart, as her heart has been given to Yuki, you have portrayed her in a different light, and it is refreshing to read. What I also like is how you portray Kyo, and I honestly feel so utterly sorry for him and truly wish the best for him. I also want him and Yuki to make amends, and I am curious to see how you play this out. Another thing that I like is how Tohru does not seem to have a main love interest. It could be Kyo, or to could Yuki. Who knows? Your take on the Zodiac curse takes on a more violent term then most tother stories portray. The curse is a burden that only seeks to destroy, yet it binds the family together against their will, and there is so much hate and sorrow. I can honestly say that I will breath a sigh of relief when the curse is broken in your story. There are so many aspects of this story that I enjoyed, and I honestly could not fit them all into this little comment box and cover all 70 chapters. I love all the characters you portrayed, and I loved the equally long chapters. This was a blast to read and a roller coaster of feelings that had me laughing at one moment and crying the next. Looking forward to the update and the big drop you are promising! God Bless! |
spacedog chapter 67 . 3/22/2018 Hello again. Just dropping a line to say hi. Nearly 2 years side I last reviewed, and you are still drawing me back in. :) (had to go back several chapters to review. I think it's screwing with me. Lol) |
Misuki chapter 70 . 11/10/2016 ... I have spent a week reading this and I really do hope to see you update! I love the story and I want more! Please update soon 3 I need this! I will be making an account just to follow your story! |
TheKid'sKid chapter 70 . 6/21/2016 I've been following this story for years and it's so incredible to see another segment coming to a close. I'll always love this story, and I definitely plan on giving it a full re-read when it's all finished. It's the single greatest fb fic I've ever read, and definitely in my top three fics of all time. I'm with this story to the end, even if it lasts another ten years! |
mousecat chapter 70 . 3/5/2016 Still loving this! |
spacedog chapter 70 . 3/1/2016 *claps, cheers, and dances around* I don't know why I didn't get the alert for this, but I so glad the urge to reread SOS came again. It was brilliant to see a new chapter, and just had to let you know that your story still makes me go all tingly. It's a must read for me. Hopefully got a new alert set up, hope to see it soon. Good luck |
Guest chapter 70 . 1/24/2016 OMG! An update! I was so excited to see this when I checked :) I really love your story, and I finally know what happened when Yuki woke up in the hospital hehe. The whole chapter was really great, and I think you dealt with their emotions really well. But I'm kinda paranoid now, after all the "hints" about the coming end, etc. It it going to be something heartbreaking again? Thank you so much for the update. Looking forward to the next, as always~ |
